I made a new costume for a convention. This is my "trial run" version of it. I'll be changing it and updating it over the next few months to make it more accurate, comfortable, and generally better.

The whole thing was hand sewn with the exception of the battleaxe harness/sheathe, which I used the sewing machine for. The pants are faux fur, but the vest is made of 3 rabbit pelts and leather cording. This picture was before the actual convention--stupid me forgot to get a picture of the full thing with the second belt and dangling animal bones, horns, etc. Oh well. Hooves are paper mache over a wire armature attached to THE most uncomfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn, and the battleaxe is a stick I cut from a dead tree in the woods and sanded and polished and an armature of wire, paper mache, plaster of paris and shiny paint for the head. Battleaxe harness isn't real leather. I'll see if a friend got a picture of me in the full costume at the convention and post it later if so.

List of things I'm gonna change are the hooves, the top (the rabbit fur is WAY too hot...good lawd...) and the battleaxe harness. And I want more bones and stuff next time. Horns have to be changed because they're too heavy. I'll be molding them and casting them in plaster of paris next time.

Pictures!!!



DD8 And I just realized this pic doesn't have my loincloth, my extra belt and hip pouch or dangly bones, horns, OR my battleaxe harness! DX Must, MUST find good pictures.

Or I'll jsut put the whole lot back on and take a picture.

Anyways, hope you liked looking.
