Description

For some time felt like uploading some WIP pictures to my DA, but never really pulled myself together to do it... I hope to keep WIP's up and upload as much as possible since I find other peoples WIP/tutorial very inspiring and why not be a part of the sharing people... :3

I know that his front armor is all flat and stuff, but honestly that was just too easy and I just didn't like how it looked like IRL, so I decided to use some "artistic freedom" and kinda make it my own way without loosing the original design too much.

I'll try to explain how I worked with it, but my English is limited so I'm sorry if some of it doesn't make any sense... 

Materials:

Fun foam
Worbla (not so necessary) 
Yarn
Hot glue


Process: 

I made the form of the middle piece out of foam and bend it on the middle to give it a more 3D form.
I glued on some "stairs" from the middle and out (made of foam) to help the form of the armor before gluing on a layer of foam.

I basically did the same with the side of of the armor before gluing it to the front piece.  

The horn was made out of worbla, but you don't have to make it out of that.. I just got my very first sheets of worbla and felt like trying it out..
You can use foam to this part as well.  
When you are done you can glue it on the front piece. 

Before using spraypaint on the armor, you need to coat it with either liquid glue, acrylic paint of something that is a bit thicker than spray. (otherwise the foam will make a funny looking surface) 
I used acrylic paint all over the armor and used the same color so then it wont give different kinds of nuances. I like to use black because black is good a good base color :P

when the acrylic was dry I painted it with the silver spay that I bought and simply waited until it was dry before I made some shadows by blending a little of the silver spray with the black acrylic and just painted it on.

The red pong pongs (donno what to call them XD) was made out of yarn.
I wrapped the yarn around the armor from the top and to where I wanted the yarn to end. And just keep going until I felt like I had the amount of yarn as I want. When I was done I tied a piece of yarn around the long logs of yarn, starting from right under the armor and until I thought it looked the way I wanted it. Then I tied a knot on the back and cut of the leftovers along the the bottom of the long piece of yarn and tadaaa!
... Wow... That last explanation was a mess.. I hope you get what I meant. ._____.


Anyways that's it for now.. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to explain it :P
Have a nice day :heart:

How thick was the foam? I noticed at Micheals they had the sheets and some that was thicker.
