I decided to hand-make the feathers for my arrows out of 2mm craft foam. My first attempt at cutting realistic feathers was okay, but I wasn’t happy with it so I started over and tried to make the cuts more organic looking. I alternated the scoring on each side of the feather, only cutting all the way through at the very tip of each score. I then hit the feathers with my heat gun. Using a heat gun on scored foam will cause the lines to pop, which, in this case, gave it that split feather look along the top. They aren’t that realistic, but they sure do look good. Bow breakdown. Since I’m planning to remake the bow smaller, I want to also make it break down into two pieces. Since my next con likely won’t be local, this is going to be critical for me to travel with the bow anyway.

Tighter leggings. Although I made elastic straps for the top of my leggings, my initial attempt at making straps for my ankles failed. I couldn’t make them tight enough to hold down the leggings but also big enough to get over my foot. I was trying to avoid using snaps or velcro or anything that would not be realistic for the character but it meant that my leggings would creep up a little throughout the day and look bunchy. I’ll definitely need to solve this before next time.

I hadn’t thought of this beforehand as I’d only tried on my costume in the house, but when I stepped outside or tried to run or cross a street, basically anything that caused a slight air disturbance, my hood threatened to fly away.

So my first bow attempt, made of wooden dowels, was a failure. I tried to bend it, not even very much, and it broke in two. After doing some research online, I decided to instead try a length of bamboo. While it worked much better than the dowel, it still snapped before bending enough to get a string on it. After doing a lot of research into homemade bows, I opted to try out using a piece of PVC pipe. Who knew you could melt plastic in so many ways? Paper mache! You may notice unsightly bumps and hard edges on your ear as you layer the newspaper. To remedy this, I just used tissue to even out the bumps and ridges, then continued layering newspaper on top. Problem solved! I used two layers of newspaper with a final layer of copier paper. Prince Ashitaka is the last prince of the Emishi people, a once-great tribe that is now only known as one village. His parents were guided in the care of their son by both village elders and their oracle. During a battle with a demon from the nearby forest, a demon kills the demon while he is still alive, but he gains a demonic wound that slowly kills him. Ashitaka, with his red elk and best friend Yakul, spends the majority of his time hunting. Princess Mononoke, a wolf-bred girl with whom he has a crush, has drawn him to San, a wolf-bred girl. The key to his success is his resolve, his determination to act despite the consequences, his awareness of them, and his willingness to stand up for what is right. Ashitaka’s Loyalty: Balancing Love And Duty In Princess MononokeAs with all of the other pieces of clothing for this costume, step one was to make a really rough prototype. I basically laid my arm on a piece of fabric and traced the basic shape. I cut it out and used my awesome wonder clips to clip it on to get the right fit. My wife assisted in trimming off excess fabric where needed. Final test fit before the real thing. The language is Japanese. As a result, tomorrow will be brighter. By naming your son this sunny Japanese name, you can encourage him to always look for the good side of life. When you hear the words Ashitaka, you might think of Princess Mononoke, in which Prince Ashitaka refers to brighter tomorrow. Once the blade was cut and beveled, it was time to add the hilt before getting into painting. I used a standard five-minute epoxy to glue the hilt pieces to the tongue of my blade and to each other. I clamped it all together really well and let it sit overnight–you really can’t ever let anything dry too much. From wood to metallic. I suggest varnishing before the next step to protect the paint from scratches and scuffs. Originally, I used glossy varnish to seal in the mask (since glossy varnish was the only varnish I could find) but I hated how it made my mask look so unnatural and super shiny. I just applied a thin layer of paint over it and the mask was nice and matte again. :-)

Princess Mononoke Costume : 9 Steps (with Pictures

One of the most important things about building a cosplay, is wearing it to a con and learning where and how you can make improvements. These are the lessons I learned from the first con wearing Ashitaka: Boho flower headband, floral Crown, fairy princess, flower crown, Boho headband, girls hair wreath, tiara, hippie, fairy cosplay, EasterDwarf Halloween Costume| Baby Creeper Cosplay shirts | Group Halloween Costume | Men's, Women's, Youth, Toddler, Baby Family Cosplay Shirts I really wanted to be Princess Mononoke for Halloween. I've never cosplayed before so I wasn't sure where to start. I thought I'd just buy the costume online, but after seeing the price (800RMB) and the cheap material the costume was made out of, I decided to make the costume myself, and share my experience of becoming San for other-would-be Princess Mononoke cosplayers. For the mask, I opted to use paper mache and cover it with a layer of paper clay, following this amazing tutorial here: http://www.otakucrafts.com/2012/10/princess-mononoke-san-mask-tutorial/ The next step was to add the hilt after the blade had been cut and beveled. The only way to make wood look like metal is to eliminate even the tiniest amount of wood grain. For all of my base coats, I used Rust-oleum Filler Primer. It’s my first time crafting a prop weapon, and I’m very pleased with how it turned out. As a result, I am also thinking about what would be required to mold and cast this. Even though the wrap on Ashitaka’s hilt does not go around the ring, I liked how it looked and how it provided a nice finishing touch.” At Wizard World Portland, I attended a panel discussion about PVC foam board as a possible armor material.
