Why not?! :confused
My 3yr old's cyclops costume is done (Grandma has the wrist and thigh bands in the mail to us this week).
And my 5yr old's Ironman is almost done (if you don't count the boot tops, under-armor, rigging and other details).
Why not take on one more Halloween project? Sure... what is it?
My 9yr old daughter, Tia, has decided (at the eleventh hour) that she wants to be a Murloc from World of Warcraft.
"A what?!" you say?
A murloc... Oh, it's just about the most obnoxious mob creature in the game - oh, and ugly too.
Now, I've warned her that I have NO time and NO more money for this project (my kids know they need to provide Dad at least two months notice for these things).
She says she understands, so I'm attempting a two weekend costume build of a WoW murloc.
DISCLAIMER:
For those of you that have followed my other builds, please forgive this sub-par costuming thread. I am fully aware that this build is simply to provide my daughter (the procrastinator) with something not 'off the rack' to wear for Trick-or-Treating - which in our house is the worst thing that can ever happen to a human being.
*****
I started by buying her a light green sweatsuit ($12 total). She's very shy about skin-tight clothes right now, so I decided to go sweatsuit rather than spandex. We also got red gloves ($1.95).
I also bought a single blue camping mat ($6.95)... which I proceeded to cut up and glue together to make a roughly murloc-shaped head (and humped back).
Here is the side view:
**Please forgive the temporary eye drawings... they were Tia's idea!
Here's the front view:
**Admittedly, it looks a bit more like Nemo than a Murloc at this point... but for 3 hours with one camping mat, what do you expect? :rolleyes
Here is Tia doing her best Murloc impersonation:
After getting the general shape of the Murloc head done, I grabbed the two $1.50 Christmas ornaments I bought from K-Mart and cut them into Murloc eye's!
...and after a bit of fabric paint I had laying around from my Cyclops build (and a coat of clear gloss for plastics from Mikey's Ironman project), they now look like this:
*****
Now, I can't promise you this thread will contain any valuable knowledge, tutorials or clever build tips... but I can certainly guarantee it will be fast and fun costume build!
Nite all!:thumbsup
