May I ask how you made the armour pieces of your Loki costume, and what materials the rest of the outfit is made of?
Asked by partyatmoriartys
Absolutely! The bracers and shoulder armor are made from Wonderflex, a thermoplastic. The chest plate and armor piece on the strap is made from sintra, which is flat PVC sheeting. It is also a thermoplastic, but is much more rigid than wonderflex. Sintra was also utilized for most of the helmet. The fabric I used for the rest of the outfit was mostly faux leather and cotton. Let me know if you have any more or more specific questions, I’d be happy to answer them for you! (As always- I hope you don’t mind me answering publicly, I’m thinking someone in the future may have the same question and I could refer them to this post!)

One from the blooper reel. Is this how Thor and Loki settled things after The Avengers? (Absolutely not.)
Thanks again to The Artsy Image for photos, and Rob for being a hilarious Thor.

Sharing an old tutorial: DIY Grell teeth from Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji!

well, mostly what you used for a base, how you attached the horns and what they were made of. i saw you wearing the cosplay at Genericon in March, and i was astounded at how easily you seemed to be able to wear it and how light and balanced it seemed.
Asked by heartsongs-and-warsongs
The majority of the helmet is made from sintra/expanded PVC sheets. The horns were carved out of polystyrene (pink insulation foam) with sintra on the inside to support them and wonderflex on the front for a smooth finish. The horns were attached with epoxy, but they’re pretty lightweight! The curvature of the horns also helps keep them balanced. I’m still reworking parts of the helmet for smoother edges and such. The inside is padded with bits of foam here and there so it sits snugly on my head.
I hope you don’t mind me responding publicly, I just thought I’d share in case anyone else was looking for tips on the helmet. I’ll do a video once I get the helmet touched up! And thank you kindly for the compliments, I’m glad you liked the helmet! :)

is there any way you could put up a tutorial or even just a sort of run-down on how you made that absolutely amazing Loki helmet?
Asked by heartsongs-and-warsongs
Hi there! Sure, I can put up a video like that. Just so I know what to cover, what kinds of questions would you like to have answered? Anything in addition to the basics (tools, materials, etc…)?
Thanks!

Ever wanted the Cosmic Cube from The Avengers? Check out my tutorial on how to assemble one! (But don’t tell Loki!)

Another one of these!
Obligatory thanks to Rob for being a lovely Thor and Alyssa/The Artsy Image for the shoot! (All of these are raws- pretty edited ones will be up later!)
I’ve always loved the contrast of Thor and Loki costumes- the blonde hair with red/silver and the black hair with green and gold. Just lovely!
