![]() ![]() #The labyrinth ludo how toLearning how to cut and sew faux fur was awesome, and I will certainly use it in the future for my plush creatures! And I also made a super gnome beard with the remnants! :D Voila! It was a lot of fun to work on this project with Chris. The suspenders, made of nylon strapping and parachute clasps, allow for infinite length adjustments. ![]() We put a zipper in the front for "easy" access in case of a bathroom emergency. After adding generously cut arms, we had a giant sexy fur midriff top! To create the pants we used a pajama pants pattern to get the bagginess we wanted, and added length to the top end so the pants begin about chest height. I used lots of duct tape and some extra foam blocks to solidify the shapeĥ) The Torso and Pants (written by Jemma Williams):įor the upper body, we draped the fur over the shoulder structure, with a hole in the center for Chris' head, and used darts and seams for shaping. To appear taller and more hunched than i naturally am, i made a shoulder peice out of some strange foam packaging i came across that perfectly fit my shoulders and some rounded plastic tubing, hula hoop esk. I had my wonderful girlfriend straighten it with a hair straightener, then since it looked almost too pampered for ludo's hair, we scruffed it up a bit. ![]() I bought a woman's long haired wig which was unfortunately curly, but i was after A) the color and B) the length. The string is slightly tightened around the top of my head to allow movement with the movement of my mouth. The Chin i used a similar layering method of foam to get the right shape, then looped a string through the inner part of the chin up and around my head so my chin rests at the back of the mouth. I made the ears out of strips of foam pinched at the lobe and glued to the underside of the horn.Īfter the design is complete I used a strip of elastic on the back to attach to my face. I also reinforced them with strips fo foam for extra glue surface area. The horns I made from a Styrofoam Flower Donut, cutting and re-gluing at angles to get them to the right curvature, then glued them to the sides of the mask. After that i visualised the deepness of Ludos face along with his features and started carving away, starting with the eye holes as they are most important in a mask. I took 3 sheets of 1" thick foam and layered them together with superglue GEL (Gel is optimal for sticking foam together because the Regular super glue seeps through and gets all over your fingers). (there are thouuusands of snips in this costume) You have to be able to look at a 2D drawing or a piece of foam and visualize where to cut or deepen to form the right look, much like how a Pin box looks, making large snips then refining smaller snips to define and round out details. I use a couple sets of scissors, a large pair and a beard trimming pair (small), the sharper the better. For my Ludo costume Ive split instructions into several key parts.įoam carving: this is the number 1 skill you'll have to brave throughout this costume. ![]()
