So one of my friends (who's a huge Zelda fan) turned 18 recently. I decided I was going to make her a hyrule warriors scarf, but changed my mind... She's a huge MM fan so I thought what the heck! It should be easy enough! 
I was going to post on here at the beginning, but then I forgot. So here's what I have so far! Hopefully people can get inspiration or give me tips and such I apologize in advance for any crappy pics, I'm not much of a photographer
So I started with some EVA Foam, which has quickly become one of my favorite materials, and cut out a heart shape and molded it with heat from a stove! (I moved recently out of my parents house and don't have many tools anymore :unsure)
I based the shape on the foam stretching way more than it actually did, so it's too tall in this pic and I had to cut some off later. You get the general idea!
Apparently I forgot to take pictures... But eventually I got their shape better, trimmed some off the bottom, glued them together with contact cement and gave it a few coats of tissue paper and modge podge. The center line was actually curved and crooked, but the modge podge/paper coat helps cover this up to an extent I also used a dremel to cut out the grooves near the top and the various holes in the mask
Bunch of coats of metallic acrylic paint!
And more paint!
And then more!
After like an hour of scrounging at the dollar store for something for the eyes I found this!
A disney princess foam ball with a plasticky outer coat
And more painting!!!!!!! And modifying the ball
So thats where I'm at now. I realize I accidentally put the black cheek line on the outside instead of between the white and green, so I'll probably need to fix that. But then I've only got the rest of the eyes, the horns/spikes, the raised black parts (which i'm not sure of how yet) and the rest of the detailing!
So that's where it stands! I'm pretty excited to finish this and pretty bummed that I cant keep it
Thoughts? Questions? Comments? Criticisms? Tips? Advice? Anything is welcome!
