Made a pattern out of plastic wrap and tape of a big easter egg. They have a really good shape for this kind of mask! I made a test mask out of 2mm craft foam, but since it's a little wobbly I'll see if I can make it sturdier with wood glue. Otherwise I'll remake it in thicker foam. Also I need to cut out the holes for the eyes.. #yigaclan #cosplay #cosplayprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/B6MRvZlp9Fn/?igshid=naq1grk4hwtl

Cosplaying as a Bokoblin was actually an idea my son casually threw at me when he was watching me play “Zelda: Breath of the Wild” on the Nintendo Switch. He said something along the lines of: “Hey Dad! Why don’t you cosplay as one of those red goblin things???”. To which I responded by immediately shutting down the idea as an impossibility due to the fact that it wasn’t at all shaped like a human. Months went by, and for some reason, the Bokoblin cosplay idea slowly became more and more intriguing to me, and it evolved into a problem that I was determined to find the solution to. I finally came to the conclusion that it could, in fact, be done, but it would require me to be squatting down and bent over in order to pull it off.
This simple solution did end up leading to another major problem though: Since I was bent over and my face was basically looking straight down, there was no way for me to see anything but the floor. I ended up installing a camera into the head of the Bokoblin (it’s in one of the nostrils), and then hooked it up to a pair of video glasses so that I could at least see what was in front of me.
The whole cosplay started out with a large plastic bowl/basin that I used for the Bokoblin head. It was just something random that I came across while doing groceries, and when I saw it, I immediately thought it would be the perfect size and shape to use as a base for the head. I coated the bowl with a few thick layers of expanding foam spray, and then carved it into shape. From there, I worked on fabricating a movable lower jaw. This was made from some strips of aluminum that I had from previous projects, and is basically just a hinge with some springs attached to it to keep it closed. The mechanism is operated by some string and pulleys that are tied to a chin strap that opens the Bokoblin mouth whenever I open mine. I also added a trimmed down hardhat to the inside of the bowl in order to keep it tightly strapped to my head. The eyes were made from Christmas ornaments and LEDs, and the nose, ears, horn, and teeth are made of foam.
I also had to make my arms appear longer in order to resemble a Bokoblin, so built a pair of arm extensions out of PVC pipes. These are attached to a pair hands that I made out of foam as well.
For the rest of the body, I used upholstery foam to pad my actual body to create larger arm, thigh, back, and chest muscles, and also to give myself a big Bokoblin belly to complete the look.
The whole head is covered with red stretch fabric, which was then airbrushed to add the rest of the details. I used the same fabric to sew the body suit together as well.
A fan was later added inside of the head in order to provide ventilation and cooling.

Fantasy is never as strange as Real Life.
Real life is weird as fuck, especially things that you don’t necessarily pay attention to/show up on your daily radar. You know what there aren’t enough of in D&D imo? Fungus enemies. Let’s fix that shit.
This is a weird little fungus known as Clathrus Archeri, aka the Devil’s Fingers or the Octopus Stinkhorn. It starts out in an egg-like sac before bursting free of it. It then spreads its ‘fingers’ and waits. The inner lining of the fingers is coated with a sticky black gooey substance. “Why would that be?” you ask? Because this thing reeks of rotting flesh and attracts flies, which then get stuck on the goo, liquefied, and digested. Metal.
STEP 1: THINK OF A COOL ASS NAME
Here’s the thing: Real life has given us that as well. BUT! We have options. Clathrus Archeri Devil Finger Octopus Stinkhorn… How to combine this? Well fun fact: Clathrus is the genus of this particular fungus which means… THERE ARE OTHER TYPES OF FUNGUS THAT DO A SIMILAR THING. You know what that means? Multiple creatures.
Clathrus is in.
Archeri Devil Finger Octopus Stinkhorn… We don’t want to use Archeri because that’s just the thing’s real life name and isn’t crazy enough. BUT… let’s use Devil Finger because that sounds metal as shit and gives everyone at the table an immediate idea of what this thing does.
Clathrus Devil-finger it is.
STEP 2: THINK OF COOL ASS ABILITIES
It bursts open into long finger-type appendages? REACH.
It grows 4-7 appendages? MULTIATTACK.
It’s covered in black goo? GRAPPLE ABILITY.
It liquefies insects? ACID DAMAGE.
Smells like Rotting Flesh? CON SAVE VS CONDITION.
This is a fantasy game? MAKE IT LARGE.
STEP 3: ABILITY SCORES, LANGUAGES, ETC.
All of this is arbitrary and depends on how high a CR you want the creature to have. SO FUCK IT GO BIG OR GO HOME.
HP: HIGH AC: LOW STR: GOOD DEX: SHIT CON: DECENT INT: ENOUGH TO EAT WIS: NOPE CHA: LOL
ATTACKS PER TURN: HOW MANY ARMS DOES IT HAVE? ROLL FOR IT.
ATTACK AND DAMAGE MODIFIERS: HIGH
DAMAGE PER ATTACK: BLUDGEONING, PRETTY DECENT. PLUS GRAPPLE EFFECT ON SUCCESS. ACID DAMAGE ON GRAPPLED TARGETS. SAVE FOR HALF DAMAGE.
EXTRA STUFF: If you really want to get weird, give it telepathy, but it only speaks Infernal (but because it’s telepathy people understand it, even if they don’t speak it. Let’s also give it Blindsight so that it can see its meals. Yup.
WHAT DO WE END UP WITH?!
STEP 4: MAKE UP SOME COOL ASS LORE
The Clathrus Devil-Finger is a strange mushroom that grows in the deepest parts of forests, and damp, dark areas (like caves, or the Underdark). The Devil-Fingers grow slowly over time, sapping nutrients from the surrounding area until they grow to an enormous size. They grow in an egg-like sac, camouflaged to appear as nothing more than a boulder. Once they reach full size however, nutrients from the soil don’t provide enough sustenance, and so they burst from their sac and split a large number of ichor covered tentacle-like appendages (typically between 4 - 7, but some have been noted to have up to a dozen). The full grown Devil-Finger exudes a stench of decaying flesh, attracting to it all types of scavengers and pests. It uses its appendages to slam down on these creatures, crushing smaller prey instantly, and ensnaring larger prey in its sticky ichor. The trapped creatures are slowly liquefied by the acid laced ichor, and absorbed into the fungus. It is not uncommon to encounter Otyugh, Swarms of Rats, Giant Vultures, or other such creatures when there is a Clathrus Devil-Finger in the area. Because of the increased presence of these aggressive carrion crawlers, it’s not unheard of for fatigued adventurers to get overwhelmed and never be heard of again. Particularly old specimens have even been rumored to be able to communicate with sentient prey, luring them close with dark whispers of promises of power or riches, though this has never been confirmed.
STEP 5: SCAR YOUR PARTY
I never advocate for a DM to directly try and kill your party, after all, this is a fun game meant to be a collaborative story telling experience, but that doesn’t mean that the story doesn’t have any close calls, dark twists, or breath stealing moments. Use your new big bad ass monster to fuck your party up, but be careful to make sure they can survive the encounter, if only barely. THIS IS A TOUGH ENEMY, BUT DEFINITELY KILLABLE, AND DEFINITELY INTERESTING.

There was a moment where a young child looked at the Guardian and, not knowing what the prop was or where it came from, asked, “what is that thing? I must know! I must!” out loud! There was also a wonderful moment where a fellow con goer and dear friend witnessed the Guardian for the first time without having known that we spent the last month and a half making it. She was so happy, so overjoyed at the sight of the prop that she practically jumped up and down and professed how much she felt like a proud mother. It’s during little moments like this that we realize what makes cosplay such a glorious hobby and what makes going to cons such as Otakon such a unique experience: the excited looks of others as they see something from a beloved work come to life.
The origin of the Guardian’s creation is a rather funny story. On some weekend night earlier this summer, the two of us talked in-depth about the lore of The Legend of Zelda over some drinks. The discussion turned towards the subject of the guardians, robotic creatures which we quickly decided must be showcased to the cosplay world in order to instill that all-too-familiar sense of adventure and horror that comes with looking at it.
It all started as a joke, really, with the idea that I (the Zelda cosplayer) would walk around the con with a Guardian, operated by Link. We had this notion of installing lights and sound in such a way where the Guardian would have blue lights on with Zelda nearby, only to have them turn red and have the Guardian theme play in the background as others approached.
After the Guardian cosplay joke/idea was posed to our older brother, he was all in favor of the idea of genuinely creating this prop and maneuvering it around the con with us as the accompanying Link and Zelda. From there, the creation of the prop took off and the rest is history.
At first, we drew drafts, specifically with the skeleton of the Guardian being made of PVC pipes. While we had the skeleton, we had to account for the question of how to successfully get the prop into and through the con. We initially decided to have it split into four separate pieces, but later favored the idea of creating three connecting pieces of the Guardian so that it could be assembled and disassembled as needed. The next piece was the creation of the Guardian’s actual form, using EVA puzzle foam boards. Once we got that down, we used expanding foam to do the lighter detailing that wraps around the Guardian. It took a dozen cans of the foam to create the Guardian’s unique, serpentine details.
Afterward, we smoothed that foam down to minimize how messy the expanding foam was to work with, but we made sure to keep some grittiness to it to stay true to the Ancient Sheikah aesthetic of these complex robots. Once that was done, we cut into the puzzle foam in order to divide the Guardian’s body into the three desired pieces. Final details included painting the guardian with home decor paint (paint that you use on walls), then creating the legs with six pool noodles. At the bottom, there were PVC pipes that connected the leg pieces to the central body. The eye was then made with clear plastic which was heated up to form a bowl shape for the eye. To achieve the color of the eye, we overlapped it with a layer of blue plastic wrap (the name escapes me but it’s the kind you can find in party supply stores for gift wrapping).
Afterward, we returned to the legs, working on the sections of craft foam that are layered on top of one another. To keep it from falling on the ground, fishing wire was used to discretely tie the legs up to the body of the Guardian. The LED lights were the next order of business. Cables were looped front the inside of the Guardian to the outside, with all of the controls being contained inside. Handles and wheels were installed in order to allow for easier mobility. A USB fan was likewise installed in order to provide cooling for our brother. The lights and fan were powered by two portable chargers. As if this weren’t enough, a speaker was put in so that the iconic Guardian music could be played as we moved around the con. With all that, the Guardian was ready to go!
Ultimately, we would say that this cosplay experience has inspired us to create more cosplays and props that have been virtually unseen. People often say to be the change that you want to see in the world. Knowing that the Guardian was a complicated prop to construct and move around the con, I would still say that it was worth the effort in part due to the reactions of others upon witnessing this one-of-a-kind piece. We want to create more unique cosplays and props and to carry our immense passion for the hobby into the future.

I made a bracelet!
Made this knotted cat bracelet for my beloved. I am really happy with how it turned out and it was an appreciated gift.
This is the first time I've made an Alpha knotted bracelet, and the first time in a long time since I've made a knotted bracelet at all. I modified this pattern and then followed that, knotting with regular embroidery floss.

OKAY OKAY SO HEAR ME OUT
I was talking with a friend of mine and he presented to me an idea which over the course of our conversation became a concept.
What if magic-users (mainly from DnD) had physical/mental expressions reflecting their magic type?
Necromancers that carry mints because their breath smells like decay. Animals are scared of them, and they just seem to age a bit worse and a bit faster than others, as if their magic claims their life forces as well as other’s.
Pyromancers who cough smoke and are like furnaces in the cold; everyone wants to bundle up to them in winter. Their lips are always chapped.
Cryomancers whose breath crystallizes and cools the air around them, their skin is chilly to the touch and seems to sparkle like fresh snow, no matter what the color, in direct light.
Healers whose skin glows and should they step on dying plants, vitality is restored to it, leaving green footprints in a brown forest. No matter how happy they really are, their smiles always seem more conciliatory than friendly, as if they came to offer comfort and to tell you your mother had passed away.
illusionists who see things. They sometimes flicker between appearances like a dying lightbulb. Sometimes they wake up feeling hot or cold or whatever, but its just their magic tricking them.
Aquamancers who leave watery footprints behind. They can’t go long without water at all. There is probably water in their lungs, but they’re so used to the feeling of drowning they don’t even notice it. Just breathe through it.
JUST IMAGINE IT ALL.
Been struggling on this sleeve that goes almost all the way to the neck. I have been trying to make my own pattern for this, because I did not think of trying to google it.
Today I learned that it's called a raglan sleeve.

Testing an idea I got for a mask during Easter.
I want to make a mask that is see-through, but without eye holes. So I'm gonna try and make holes in the Easter egg and look through the stretched fabric, and hopefully the holes won't be noticed.
I traced all around the edge of the egg to make a pattern, and to approximately see how much fabric I will need.
