Princess Mononoke Cosplay Build: Garbage-Femme San (Part 2)

Hi, i’m Precursor, and this becomes part of my short
collection on constructing a Princess Mononoke urban-femme costume out of garbage. Other individuals do tool
demonstrations much better than I ever could, so this is more of a workflow tutorial where I discuss
my decision making process as opposed to training you anything in fact useful. In the last video clip I stuck some red heels onto
a red skateboard headgear and afterwards spent like a week trying to sculpt portions of wood to make
the eye & & mouth decorations. In this video I’m going to obtain the mask to a wearable
stage, and then shatter a stitching maker with a princess mononoke baseball bat. With an empty red headgear there’s a possibility
it’ll appear like I’m simply utilizing it ’cause it was practical and the appropriate form or shade
or something, however I wish to see to it people understand every product is totally intentional. So this headgear requires a sticker or more to make it look obnoxiously mid-90s skater.I’ve.

always liked the Girl Skateboard brand name logo, however the OG sticker label style that I bear in mind.
from my youth is like $10 on ebay.com, so I chose I would certainly simply make a little bootleg.
making use of a xerox and some wheatpaste. Unfortunately, I lost all my video footage of using the sticker.
to the red helmet. However when life offers you lemons, obtain intoxicated on whisky sours, so I made.
a whole wheatpaste tutorial video clip which you can check out right here, where I demo the very same bootleg.
sticker on this various other white helmet.Okay, so obviously I require to make some eye. openings in this headgear, although i guess walking into wall surfaces possibly would not injure with this. thing on, yet anyhow … I’m gon na make use of
my favorite device worldwide, the coping saw,. which if you do not have yet, you ought to totally go take one from your parents. Basically, the blade on a coping saw can be rotated, to ensure that if the structure is. obstructing you can relocate somewhere else. You can likewise take the blade out, so. you can shove it down a small drill hole, reattach it to the saw’s framework beyond,. and afterwards begin cutting away like mad.
Enjoyable crap. I require this to fit on my face real wonderful. The. old soft extra padding scented like head and I really did not
want that on my face, so it needed to go.I’m. changing it below with cushion foam, because this things

is really functional and I utilize it. all over the place when it comes to puppetry, and it’s a particularly excellent uniformity. for padding masks. The idea below is that if I can get the mask to fit genuine comfortably, it’ll. help maintain it from jumping off my face throughout efficiency, ’cause
it’s gon na obtain quite. heavy and have great deals of inertia. I’m aiming for it not to be so limited
that it reduces off. circulation to my brain, yet certainly tighter than would be comfortable.I like when masks hold themselves on by securing. around my forehead and my occipital bone, which is the lump

at the rear of your skull. right where your neck begins.
Typically for a mask build I ‘d be creating a band or. crown that goes behind my occipital bone,
but this headgear’s chin strap actually works. like a charm if I clip it behind my head rather
of under my chin. Easy. Done. Now for attaching the timber designs. The. wood items have actually been sanded
bent on fit the curvature of the helmet, yet its not an excellent. fit so I require to fill that space with something. I was
just gon na utilize this wood-colored plumbers. epoxy as both filler and adhesive, but I obtained a little nervous that the plumbing’s epoxy. wouldn’t have the ability to follow the plastic extremely well, so initially I laid down a layer of. this liquid epoxy to bond the timber to the plastic, and after that proceeded to blend the. plumbing technician’s epoxy to fill the void. Plumbing technician’s epoxy is costly to utilize as a clay replacement,. but in percentages it kinda incredible to deal with. You only get a couple of minutes before.
it establishes, but you can truly form it like clay and it will certainly hold its shape perfectly,. unlike, claim, much more gummy water-based putties.I’m making use of oral devices and dipping them. in water, since having water on your
tools maintains the putty from getting onto them. You. can get a genuine good smooth surface on this epoxy by
making use of water such as this. In the last video clip you saw me amazingly change. a switchblade right into a cosplay prop with a dab of indicator painter’s enamel. I intended to do. something simply as awesome for San’s other tool, the spear, that would certainly be all modern-urban-warrior-girl. and not simply some terribly obsolete simulated
spear or something. Although taping stitching. shears to a curtain pole is something I would absolutely do IRL, I’m noticing that baseball. bats are what’s in this year. Now, a bat does not have sections like a spear, so I. picked simply repainting the color pattern onto the bat, and just really hope that it looks. trendy enough to sidetrack from that it doesn’t look anything like a spear. Having such a. quintessentially Mononoke red triangular symbol thing is a huge help.I’m making use of the exact same indication painter’s
enamel. that I used on the blade, because I do prepare on fucking this point up excellent and don’t.
want the paint to flake or anything. I desired sporting activities tape for the base of the head, however.
that spunk is truly costly evidently. I had all this clinical tape around that I. use for tucking, so I used that.
Speaking of tucking, I still absolutely mean to make an.
detailed Scoutsplains on that subject, since we all understand you desire to know.Anyway, I went. with all the difficulty of passing away the tape with marker ink yet the product looked all. thin and meek, and this baseball bat should be anything yet meek. So I tore it all off. Rather I soaked a rag tshirt with acrylic paint, which was an enjoyable bloody mess, and after that. cut a bow off of

it.
This turned out thicker and a lot more attractive that I thought it would,. really, mostly because of the t shirt’s thick cover seam near the bottom. The adhesive I’m. making use of below is simply rubber concrete, because the wrap holds itself on respectable by itself.
and I just require a little bit of tack. Rubber concrete scents great also. Now, similar to whatever I do, I
can’t just. have a good tidy baseball bat with fancy fresh paint. This crap requires to be distressed,. which is an expensive costume-crafts term for fucked up. And why distress something with a hammer. and sandpaper and stuff if you can do it authentically with real physical violence.
Not to say that I’m. smacking randomly below, by any methods. I have actually very carefully selected a few different items. that I believe will certainly make wonderful marks, including a gas container, a steel-body stitching equipment, a. piece of
wood and a crowbar.The embroidery maker ended up being particularly outstanding ’cause. it had lots of various
things standing out of it that made an excellent selection of divots in. the bat. My ethic for distressing props is that the marks need to evoke a psychological considerate.
reaction, like you can visualize

the heck that the things experienced, while not being able.
to tell that it was in fact performed in a regulated style in a workshop. It’s absolutely a penalty. art. Here’s how that all ended up. Thanks for enjoying, i hope this worked,. or at the very least marginally amusing. In the next video clip you can expect a set of. jewelry that really call, constructed of pounded can. If you similar to this collection, or just. think i’m swell, you can subscribe to my patreon here. Those memberships are what.
have allowed me to be a full time artist, and i’m happy for your help.Oh, and I burnt out the bat due to the fact that I obtained carried. away at some time. Yet hey, timber adhesive and clamps to the rescue
