This was by far the most difficult thing and the most exciting thing I have ever made for a cosplay!!
My incredible friend Kayla came over and taught me how to do proper foam work and use Worbla for the first time! We spent 8 hours just building the mask, and not to brag, but it looks FREAKING AWESOME! We started with a template that I had found online from www.gyakuyoga.com/. He has some great tutorials and outlines, and this made everything so much simpler! We traced out the template onto the craft foam, then very carefully cut it out and drew on the details. Kayla expertly hot glued the seams together and then covered them in E6000 to make the mask round while I cut out all the horns. Next we cut out strips of craft foam for the 3D detail, glued them on using hot glue. Kayla sanded them down with her dremel tool making them nice and round. Next came the hard part. Worbla. Kayla and I both heated the worbla and wrapped it around all the horns first. Then she sanded down the seams to make them smooth. Next was the large sheet to cover the whole mask. We heated it quadrant by quadrant, stretching it out, smoothing it, and repeat. Finally finishing it up with sculpting the details. Next up will be adding in some wood grain and painting it. Super happy how this turned out! Please check out Kayla's incredible cosplay : www.facebook.com/9FlameCosplay/
