I find a lot of enjoyment not only making these costumes, but trying new methods of making costumes. Not anything that would be impossible, just one or things that would be new to challenge/ motivate me along the way to keep me interested.
I have always wanted to make some medieval battle armor. Something I could wear to a renaissance fair, but so far I have only dressed as creatures.
Since S.G.C. is coming up, my Ganon costume there was a real success in 2013, and I like wearing masks. I decided I am going to make a Ganondorf costume.
Ganondorf is a character that has been done a lot, and I have never really liked his designs. That is until I saw his radical Hyrule Warriors design! His flowing spiky main of hair is gnarly!
I have only seen one image of someone dressed as this character and it did not live up to my standards. So I plan to tackle this costume myself.
At the moment all I have is a face sculpt. I plan on molding it with Smooth-on's rebound, and casting it in Smooth-on's Dragon skin 10. I did this before with my original Ganon. I was going to use this project as my first time molding with Ultracal, and casting a latex mask, but latex irritates my eyes, and stomach a bit. It also shrinks a little after casting. When I started adding the detail to this sculpt I decided I did not want to risk being allergic to the mask, having it shrink, and losing my sculpt in the process. So back I decided to go back to using Dragon skin.
The unique things about this costume is the mask. I want to glue it too my face. That is why the mouth a sculpted slightly op. I purchased some pros aid, but I know silicon doesn't stick to anything, but it's self. I am hoping that pros aid is an exception.
Here is the sculpt.
I changed the nose a bit. I saw where the sculpt was going and noticed it looked a bit like Street Fighter's Akuma/Gouki. So I decided that after this costume, I will cast another mask as Akuma. So this is going to be a one face works for all sort of things.
Also I left the expression in a neutral state, but I left creases, and folds in areas were that would increase expression.
I plan on punching hair, and adding a custom wing.
I did not use a life cast of my face. This is a mannequin head. If I need to I will add foam to form fit the cast were needed.
I hope to share more as this costume progresses.
