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.
