Grimm Hatte and Blighted Beak complete!

I've never made a hat before, so that was fun learning experience. The mask was a lot easier to make, except for the eyes, those I needed help to 3d model and print. Thank goodness for technologically competent friends!

Yes, I took some artistic liberties on both, but I wanted to go for a more realistic look for my Medic cosplay. So I tried to keep the general feel of the original pieces (shape, colors, size) and then added weathering, and some changes I thought would look neat, such as the red eyes (I'm making RED Medic), and additional stitching on the mask.

Now to conquer my fear of making the coat!

Um, okay, where did you get the idea for all this?

Long post about Nostras design origins below!

FIRST inspiration for Nostradamus came from this cosmetic in Team Fortress 2 (As well as the character of Medic in general)

From there, inspiration was taken from Ephemeral Rifts character, Corvus Clemmons

His mask design was from Tom Banwells mask design ‘Ichabod’ as well as influence from the ‘Krankheit’ design

(Ichabod)

(Krankheit)

The concept of the Symbiote are taken partly from Marvel’s Venom and veitstanz’s Queen of Rats Plague doctor!

Nostras face, many assets of his condition, and his backstory however are completely original!

Adding the lenses to the Blighted Beak mask! I was originally going to use blue to be closer to the original design, but 1) they cracked while being cut, and 2) I thought red would look cool with a RED Medic cosplay.

I used highly reflective sunglasses for the lenses, and simply popped them out of their original frames and cut them to the right shape. I can see out easily, but my eyes are completely hidden inside!

I just need to add felt to the back of the mask now, and it's done!

I've wanted my own Blighted Beak mask ever since it was first added to the game, and to now finally have one...it just feels really cool.

Making progress on my Medic cosplay!

The Grimm Hatte and Blighted beak are each about 90-95% complete!

I think my next goal will be to finish the Übersaw, then onto the pants!
