HUUUGE PANTHEON GLAIVE WARRIOR WIP!!!!!!1!!1!!!! part 3/3

The last part of pantheon WIPs, LET'S GO!

HELMET



The Helmet was made from cardboard, expanding foam, wood filler, masking tape, craft foam, tiny bit of black fabric and paint. The base was made with tape and cardboard straight to  my bf's head. Then some additional cardboard was added so that the expanding foam was easier to add and later on cut to its shape.


When the expanding foam was added It looked funny :3 


Then cutting happened and it started to look more wolflike

Then it was covered with masking tape

and wood filler was added and sanded when dry


First we put basic white base coat of paint and after it was dry we put a brown paint

Then we added some highlight with lighter color and shadows with darker color




After the basic head was done we used craft foam to make the front and back parts of the helmet

 The back parts were curved using heat

Then the parts were painted using the same technique as painting the helmet itself

while attaching craft foam pieces together we found out that superglue works out better than hot glue and its much less messier.

A lot of pictures is missing but the black fabric was added to the front and the back parts were attached to each other with fabric also. The teeth were made out of paper mache and they were superglued on to the head. There is also a lining. 

Anyways the finished product looks like this: 




 Next I'm gonna put a couple pictures of making the clothing and shoes. The shoes were made the same way as asunas shoes (link)







We used the picture below and Pantheons Lolking model as models and kinda mixed the best parts of the two to make the pantheon cosplay. for example we did the helmet by the lolking model and the shoes according to the other picture.

HUUUGE PANTHEON GLAIVE WARRIOR WIP!!!!!!1!!1!!!! part 2/3

First is up SPEAR.  Though I don't have much wip material from it, because It was made in a rush.. basically in two days. Therefore the painting is hideous and the surface is not smooth. But it looks quite impressive from far away, and we are planning to fix it... when we have time.. but for a while I'm going to focus on sewing clothes for me. so we'll see when it's fixed, if ever. But let's move to the main point.

The spear started with a blade. the blade was cut from plywood and it was attached to the broom handle with glue. Then some cardboard was attached with tape and on top of that we sprayed expanding foam. To make those spikes or whatever you can call them (see the picture above XD), we used a separate pieces of cardboard and sprayed then with expanding foam. and then we added them to the main part with hot glue when everything was curved.
The thicker part on the bottom was made with camping mattress and with a lot of glue. It could have been made with expanding foam also, but we were out of expanding foam and in a hurry, so we decided to work with matress.
Half of the shark/wolf cut, half to be cut. 
we covered the wolfshark with masking tape before adding wood filler. at this point clock was something like 6 am and we had to leave at 6 pm to the convention...
With a little sleep we managed to sand it and paint before we had to leave. And it looked something like this:

Though the result could have been a lot better, I was just happy to be able to finish it, and hopefully we can fix all the things before next convention.




Then there is armor. I don't really fancy it. the surface is not smooth. and you unfortunately can see it. But who cares, Let's put it here anyway!

The armor is made with camping mattress and craft foam. It has been bend to the right shape with heat and then glued some details and painted. The chest armor has velcro on the left side and the knee and hand armors have elastic band, so they can be put on and off with those. 

  





so this is how we made the weapon and the armor. stay toon for part 3 which is all about helmet/boots/clothes.
