Description

Princess Mononoke was my first cosplay EVER! I made this for AB'07 :D It feels like so long ago, hard to believe I've only been doing this for 2 or 3 years...

I debated posting this picture in my main gallery since I forgot to take that stupid hair elastic off my wrist. But I like it anyway, so it stays.

This was the second half of my Soi Fon/Mononoke photoshoot with :iconda-rk: :D I made the costume, :iconda-rk: took the photos!



The mask was probably the most labor-intensive part of the costume. It's made of plaster gauze, fit to my face, covered in a few types of spackley things, then sanded smooth and painted.
The fur headdress is fake fur hot-glued to the mask. It's super soft - there were definitely a few times at AB when some stranger would try to pet me D:
The ears are stiff paper with a layer of plaster gauze-putty-spackle-sanding-paint. It's heavy so it has to bear some of its own weight via hidden velcro in the back.
The dress the first garment I ever sewed xD;; It's not hemmed or anything xD;;
I didn't make shoes so I went barefoot for the shoot.
