Re: World of Warcraft Orc Full Size Cosplay Costume SKS Props - Updated 3/23/2016
Warcraft Orc Painting Process - Here is where the fun begins. This is a helpful trick that I do on almost all of my builds. I take a pic of the costume while the armor is still raw and photoshop approx base colors over it. This helps me decide what direction I wan to go with fur color, armor distressing etc. So the first pic shows one of my early shots in the Orc, next to a Photoshopped color scheme, and then the final product.
Before any of the colors went down I sprayed everything with Valspar black primer. To base out the colors on the orc I used Valspar Color Radiance Flat in 2 different shades of red for the armor. (They don't have names on them just the tops to show the color inside) I used Krylon Hammered Silver for the Trim and Krylon Red Oxide Primer for the horns and leather. I was going to tape off everything then saw how long that was going to take and decided not to. I sprayed in the general areas but wasn't concerned with over-spray since the real details would all be hand painted. Once everything had dried completely I took it all inside to begin the time consuming task of hand painting using Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics.
