Title: How hard would it be to pull off this outfit?
Post by: Mister_E on March 23, 2008, 12:57:46 PM
I couldn't find any good photos so here's some footage of my idea I hope to do this by 2009. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9K-4xvxua4)


You can't pretty much guess who I want to be.

You obviously didn't listen to the advice given to you in the other threads. Stop asking 9238479328532 questions that you are not going to do.

Oh I'm going to do it. I'm just asking now so I can find the stuff I need to make the outfit.

This is going to be a little harder than my Laughing Man outfit.

Well, for one thing, this sort of question belongs on the Cosplay board. You're on the forums almost daily, do it right. ^^

I'd say it'd be difficult to construct if you don't have experience crafting cosplay that complex, of which goes beyond your mask and simple clothing and a wig. It's better to have someone you know that might know what to do with you, in person, to help you out. If you want my honest opinion, I have doubts you could pull it off.

But you have a lot of time. Something can be accomplished until then.

On you're right I should of put this in cosplay if a Mod could be kind enough to move this that was be great thanks.

Anyway I was think Styrofoam, or either clay or paper paper mache whic is better. and my hair is long enought to bleach it or something.

And at least I have over a year. I am already hitting ebay for stuff.

I've seen people make masks via vacu-forming, working with home-crafted plastic, aluminum, and using cheap motorcycle/bike helmets as a base, or even using foam pieces and using air-clay but... that'd be more difficult to achieve an adequate result. If you have any friends that cosplay with masks and armor, like people who make their own Star-trooper cosplays, they'd have a better idea on what to do. Paper mache might work, but that'd also be difficult to have a good result if you don't know what you're doing, otherwise, it'll just look like something a grade-schooler would make for an art project. Carving styrofoam would just look terrible. You'd need to put a sheer yellow cloth to fill the eyes, and use a sharpie to fill in the black, because it'd look retarded if you left them empty.

Clothing-wise, you'd probably need to buy a full zentai, then have someone help you out with sewing the rest of the clothing, like the vest, pieces on your limbs, and foot-covers. While a wig would be uncomfortable, it'd probably look better than using your actual hair. I warn you, it'll be stuffy AND itchy.

E-bay won't really help you at all. But I'm telling you now, that despite how simple it might sound and look, Pesche is a complex cosplay to do and isn't very likely to pull off if you don't know what you're doing, or have anyone with experience to help you.
