Latex Molds and Resin Casting Tutorial by NeferCosplay

Cosplay Tutorial tutoiral gem resin

Finished the bow model, probably not going to take the time to paint it since this was more of a proof of concept and test of how my 2D pattern pieces translated into a 3D model. The white foam is 3mm craft foam, the red is 2mm craft foam, and the handle is two sheets of normal printer paper rolled REALLY tightly and then taped up with scotch tape. Very high quality stuff, here, no expense was spared.

I took quite a lot of shortcuts with the limbs of the bow (as you can see compared to the modelviewer screen shots) since my biggest concerns were the “faceplate” and the fitting of the actual pieces together. I solved several construction problems while making this but a lot of the detail work wasn’t possible due to the small size of the model.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this project thus far, it’s that despite having dozens of screenshots of this weapon being used by my character, I cannot comprehend how this can be used as a proper weapon. The riser is utterly non-functional and there’s no arrow rest. Also, this bow is probably supposed to be used by a left handed person because the arrow is on the wrong side if you shoot it right handed. It looks cool as hell, though.

If I really want to do this right, I’m going to need to solve these problems before I start building the actual prop.

I am also unsure how I’m going to transport this to the con, considering the “faceplate” alone is roughly 2ft x 3ft when scaled up. Even if I build this so it assembles from smaller pieces, how the shit am I going to break that part down?? I was worried about the full size weapon being cumbersome, but the design is actually quite balanced and I was able to balance it on a single finger, so I doubt I’ll have much trouble holding the real thing.

I’m also leaning more and more towards the inclusion of a quiver in the final costume. I really liked that class accessories artcraft, plus it would be a good idea to have some sort of bag on hand to carry my shit in.

I might try figuring out some sort of harness to fix the bow to my back like in the game to make walking around with it easier. So many problems to solve!

so i’m like 80% sure i’m going to cosplay as zanbon at blizzcon but that is going to make things so fucking complicated because i have like 15 different sets of armor i would want to wear and i love everything so much i can’t choose just one oh god what do i do

also i am not sure if i can physically handle draenei hooves i mean i can probably fudge the boots to look hoof-y and cheat by not making stilts but omg i will fucking die i swear

blizzcon cosplay so many choices

ugh I love Alexstrasza’s costume so much. I constantly wonder how the cosplayers craft the armor, like as far as the...

Alexstrasza costume

A quick bit of lurking and I found the crafter of the costume on cosplay.com… looks like the costume is made with molded foam and fabric. She is an INCREDIBLE artist, everyone should go check her stuff out!

You can see how she crafted the costume in the “making of” photoset on her Flickr. Really, really interesting.

This made me giggle. A lot.

along-the-devils-backbone asked:

My boyfriend - in a fit of newbie stupidity - sold nearly all of his lvl 85 hunter armor (he didn't quite understand transmog and did it without help...). I've been spending tons of gold trying to get him back to where he was, but i was wondering -- do you have any tips on where we should be focusing to get him better armor geared more towards hunters? We're having to make do with what we can find on the AH, and it's not looking good :-|

why don’t you just put in a ticket to have the gear restored? i intentionally sold my entire season 9 set, ticketed it when i found out about transmog and that the honor version of season 9 looked different, and had the entire set restored to me as well as other items with the name “vicious” in them that i didn’t even recall ever owning.

you can’t gear up via the AH if you had actual gear from dungeons raiding. AH gear is for people needing to boost their item levels to get in to queues to get gear they need.

i am afraid you have wasted quite a lot of gold. :/
