#worbla armor

[silvericedragon]

The gauntlets for my Guild Wars 2 cosplay are done, other than sanding and painting! I still intend to finish this costume lol, it's just taking me extra time because life. All pieces are made of worbla over foam or cardboard, or by itself. The gloves are made from the same fabric (hand-dyed by me) as the rest of the costume. Everything is fully articulated to move with my hand and arm. The only armor piece I have left is the upper arm. Then it's just wiring, sanding, painting, and styling the wig! Woo! I'm pretty excited for this cosplay. Not only is it the most complex and difficult costume I've built, but it has also been with me through some tough times. At some point, I'll have to put all the pieces on and share some pictures :-)

I leave for Momocon in 2 days and I’m not done with this cosplay (pt. 1- gauntlets)

Time is running out but I finished making all the fabrication stuff. Now I just have to get it onto the cosplay.

Gauntlet base is laser cut foam glued onto 1mm foam and wrapped in black Worbla

I sculpted a spine and casted it in foam clay. Played aorund with moisture manipulation to get this nifty texture on the foam clay. I glued them into the gauntlets with a bit of hot glue so that they could dry in a curved shape.

Filled the edges with foam clay to give me a flat surface for the trim. This was also laser cut. I glued the whole thing down with contact cement and weeded out the unwanted parts. Also used Worbla’s Pearly Art scraps to make a twisted rope like trim

I primed the base gauntlets and the spines separately using sand able filler primer. I glued down the spines with contact cement.

I used mod Podge to add some cinnamon for grit and a ‘definitely has nice stuff but lives near the ocean and the salt water corroded everything’ texture.

Paint is a combination of a lovely satin black base, automotive metallic black spray paint, bronze acrylic highlights, and a high gloss varnish.

wah my sewing machine hates me (keeps breaking needles) and none of my props are finished either so I’m going to finish black mask for rccc this september

my updated sakuracon plans are:

fri: shion (white turtleneck outfit)

sat: fts snake (i’ll take delta pics later)

sun: secondary winter outfit goro (again bc i took like. one pic of it last time)

I’m pretty disappointed to not wear something with… craftsmanship in it? or props really? after all the effort and money I put toward it… but I think I’d rather have fun and make my costume the best it can be for later 😮‍💨

I'm so excited to share my most recent cosplay from Connichi 2023!

Cosplay made and worn by me (@ganondoerfli)

Character: Link from The Legend of Zelda - Tears of the Kingdom

Armor Set: Mystic Set

Photos taken by my BFF: @ithilcelevon

Date of photos: 2023-09-12

Keep reading for more details on the making of the cosplay props:

🌸The Satori mask🌸:

I made this mask using worbla on a foam base. The LEDs I used inside the eyes were taken from LED tea candles. They give the light a cool flickering effect.

🌸The right arm🌸:

For Rauru's right arm I wore the runes on top of a scaly glove.

-> First I sewed the glove from a very textured jersey fabric.

-> Then I added some artificial nails on top, which I modified to look like claws.

-> In order to construct the pattern for the runes, I actually had to create a makeshift cast of my arm first. For this, I wrapped my whole arm in newspaper and crepe tape. After cutting the cast open and removing it from my arm, I filled it with more newspaper to make it sturdy enough to work with.

-> This paper cast of my arm was perfect for constructing the pattern, since it could be rotated in any direction (as opposed to my real arm🙃)

-> Using the finished pattern, I made the runes from foam rubber and worbla and shaped them with heat. I painted them using terra-cotta spray paint.

🌸The clothing🌸:

I used satin fabric for a nice and flowing look on the clothes.

In order to recreate the shimmering pattern on the robe, I used heat transfer vinyl.

🌸The armor🌸:

All armor pieces are made from foam and worbla. I've been using this technique for many years, it really works great! The armor pieces were then painted with lacquer and gold acrylic paint.

Making this cosplay was a lot of fun!

Tears of the Kingdom offers so many beautiful designs and outfits.

I can't wait to make more from this game! <3

[durnesque-esque]

It's happening.

I'm in full con crunch mode, but I decided I needed to finally join the Destiny shoot this year at DragonCon, so I've been crafting as fast as my fingers and work schedule allow the last few days to get this done!

Tonight I have a TON of painting to do and a little bit more sewing before I pack all this up and fly to Atlanta EARLY Wednesday morning!

She's a warlock bb!

P.S. amazing 3D print of Risk Runner thanks to Designed by 3D!

But you don't get to say anything about my armor skills because this was my first time working with foam & worbla. I'll get better, but this was "get it done" mode.

[autistic-evil-xisuma]

let's hear it for the 2.5 weeks late and low quality cosplay pics 🔥🔥🔥

ID in alt text, materials/methods explained under the readmore! i DIY'd almost everything here.

wig used to be even and straight - cut and styled myself

gas mask is EVA foam, hot glue, LED tea lights, & cut up surgical mask material in front of the lights (and another mask inside. cosplay covid safe!!). Painted with acrylic and rub 'n buff

armor is worbla thermoplastic and EVA foam, D rings and webbing for straps, spray paint and acrylic - i made this about 2 years ago lmao

jeans used to be white. i had 2 failed dying attempts which included dropping my phone in the dye bath and almost burning myself a few times before i got them this color the 3rd try. also D rings and webbing straps.

not fully included in the pics but inside the mask is a mic that i hooked up to a soundcard & speaker to use as a voice changer (and amp- it's hard to project your voice through multiple layers of mask and painted foam !)

i super recommend including cargo pants in your cosplays. in or on my pants i was able to carry phone, wallet, extra mask, sound card, speaker, advil, con program, 32 oz water bottle, and an entire quesadilla

Just figured I'd get a nice post going of my World of Warcraft hunter tier 4 cosplay, Demon Stalker armor with Ranger General's Guard Thas'dorah.

technically this is the PvP/Season 1 recolor but WHATEVER

Costume entirely made by hand with various foams and Worbla. LEDs and smoke also wired by me. :)

How did you make your wonder woman cosplay?

Which one? In general, I like to use leather, suede, spandex, or upholstery fabrics for the fabric parts, and EVA foam coated in plastidip to seal, then with metallic paint over it for the armor. Some of my accessories are real metal, and others are either hard plastic, resin, plaster of Paris, worbla or different types of foam. I don't have any step by step tutorials, but for the most part it's a lot of staring at comics or fanart, making a sketch then a pattern using my measurements as a guideline and either making a 1 to 1 copy or making my own version that's loosely inspired by a few of her looks that I really loved, with my own twist on it. There's no wrong way to cosplay as long as you're having fun. <3 Here are a few of my Wonder Woman costumes, I hope one of these is the one you meant!

[nukkekodissa]

Twilight Princess Link!! I actually finished this doll last summer?? I think?? I'm so lazy with posting.... but here he is finally!! Pictures are taken again by my lovely friend @ minnikuvaa on instagram<3333

I used Ever After High Hunter doll for the base and sculpted etc on top of it!!! His clothes were sooo fun to make :3 The sword, armor and shield are made from worbla and milliput!!!

[ladykubecosplay]

I don't play a lot of fighting games (because I'm REALLY BAD) but the Soul Calibur series was always one of my favorites, and Tira was my favorite character of the lot BY FAR. Something about her just really spoke to me, and getting to cosplay her was such a dream. This cosplay is an absolute mess, it was my first ever really big build with armor, using foam and worbla and I'd love to remake it one day.

Nyx has been on my cosplay list since 2020 and I have been gleefully swatching and buying supplies since then, but dreading actually starting the project. :( Her giant armor and wig are such a cool design, but are otherwise a really big logistical problem. How do I travel with a wig like this, how far will I be able to turn my head, how long will I be able to have this on my body before I hate it? I don't even really feel comfortable talking about it in more than hypotheticals because I'm genuinely not sure if it's gonna get done.

I spent a couple hours tonight roughing out the general shape of her wig and headgear. I'm really really grateful that my friends helped me do a head cast a few years ago, because trying this stuff on my own body would be too much to bother with. I was hoping I could use some old worbla scraps to help rough out her head wings, but in working with it again I'm remembering why I don't really like it that much. I'll probably replace it with more aluminum foil to get the general shape nailed down before I start breaking the wig down into modular pieces.

It's best girl's birthday! I haven't worn my version 2.0 of BlackRose since this 2020 shoot, LOL but I am so very proud of my remake. When I first made her in 2015, it was my first armor project and of course I picked an intense one 😂 But so worth it for one of my favorite characters I've adored since I was like, 14! I made it look better throughout the years, but ultimately decided to remake most of it during the pandemic since I had a lot of unexpected free time. Foam > Worbla forrealsies. I trashed my 2015 armor and boots immediately after I finished the new one (same wig, sword, and stockings though). Also, a fun fact: A very expensive Victoria's Secret strapless bra that I hadn't worn since 2009 was used as a base for the top of my remake version 😎 I knew I held onto it for a good reason!

Age: Ageless

Height: 6’2”

Physical Appearance: noticeably tall (height: 6’2”) and fair-skinned woman with straight waist-length black hair, blue eyes, and broad shoulders. She is ageless and attractive in appearance, sporting a slender and athletic frame with a well-toned yet muscular build (she used to have slender and athletic frame but she still had muscles under her fats from working out at the Gym and following diet to keep her strong under her fats), she’s wore a strapless red bustier held up by a brace of gold resembling two W's, has a large golden belt and blue briefs with five white stars on them, wears red boots with a white stripe on the front side, wears silver bracelets around her wrists, white star earrings, and wears a golden diadem with a red star on her forehead, also has a golden lasso, which hangs from her belt when not used. But since she’s fat, her matching golden belt plate almost taken over by her double belly, you can see part of yellow from the middle. Her red armor body plate that bears a yellow eagle-shaped breastplate barely fits on her chest, knee-high red boots with white lines in center barely fits but still fits on her legs and feet. Her blue underwear with white stars almost complete and sunk because her entire backside but still holds her bottom, may adjust her bulletproof bracelets a little, Diana hates it because it’s hurts from being tight on her wrists, you can see her “Standard indent towards the bottom that makes it look like a butt” belly sides poking out and sags over from bottom of her blue undergarment with white stars and her bottom belly almost touching the ground, about 2 inches

Weight: She used it weigh 135 pounds (or 61 kilos) but now she weight: 1,300lbs, MUCH USSBBW, (body sized reference mix of Wonder Woman and the fat cat By mx-fa and Wonder Woman By Saxxon but still had muscular muscles under her fats from working out a lot at the gym and following diet to keep her strong under her fats and Wonder Woman is still 6’2” she was before), Wonder Woman’s MUCH USSBBW frame causes the ground to shake with every step.

However, she does see her people's bias as problematic boarding on xenophobic, very loyal, selfless, compassionate, nurturing, and most of the time, even kind. She is often one of the quickest outs of all of the members of the league to help people even when it's unnecessary, not part of the main objective, or even detrimental to it simply because it's the right thing to do, member of the JLU (Justice League Unlimited), weaponry: Indestructible bracelets and tiara, Lasso of Truth, Bulletproof Bracelets

I love your answers.

I think the outfit he has in the cutscene after Dubai is basically Nathan Drake's outfit anyway.

I feel Diana has a bit of a wild streak. If it was out of necessity and time was of the essence, she'd grab something like elven ears or cat ears headband and argue that it was cosplay and then get the job done. Without pressure, why not go all out?

Olivia definitely made her own cosplay with her own sewing machine, worbla armor and wigs+ make up. Maybe some world of warcraft elaborate thing.

Lucas would walk in and the guards fistbump him, complimenting his Call of Duty costume. Spoilers: he wasn't wearing one. Inside he asks Olivia who this Colin Duty guy is and she gives him the biggest ughyouareembarrassingme

Uhh I like that! Without pressure, they'd probably all try harder - especially Diana, I agree. Trying something new; I can imagine she'd like it! In general, she certainly enjoys leaving her desk and going on missions with the fam

and omg I love your answer about Lucas in my head he's best bro with what feels like every doorman. The guy knows how to get into clubs/bars/whatever. A little chat, two or three cigarettes and he's got unlimited access to wherever he wants. He is charismatic and knows what makes people tick, especially those who live ‘underground’ and to this day, i'm still sad as hell that we've never seen lucas in a tactical outfit. i love him in his black clothes, but this one time…
