"Have you forgotten? I am Darkness; I lurk in the shadows of thorns. I am the Spear Wall, Pilum Murale !" - Elias Ainsworth
He is finally finished behold the Thorn Mage in all his majesty. Three months to make that Mask. Probably one of my most fun and challenging cosplays to make. My Elias Ainsworth cosplay. Elias is the titular Ancient Magus in “The Ancient Magus Bride”. The mask is made out of paint, cardboard, papier-mâché, worbla, and clay. His horns are made worbla, newspaper and paint as well. I feel so big and majestic cosplaying him. I am already 6′2″ and with the horns I am even taller.
A huge shout out to @jigget for her fantastic Wolf Mask tutorial video series. That helped a lot with getting the foundation of the mask made.
If you are going to Anime Festival Orlando 2018 (AFO) Please say hello and feel free to take pictures. I am so excited for this convention.
Take care have a good day.
