Working on a blueprint for a costume, don’t know where to go from here, any advice?
I was planning on making it out of cardboard, with a shell of pvc over the top (to avoid rain from heavily messing up my costume). Though the body and neck will mostly be made from fabric, even then that shouldn’t be AS bad, I could at least dry that
I’ve updated the design a bit, my arms will instead but at the same level as my head, as to not make the costume have a huge pump in the back(aka my head)
The current head model is the first image, said drawings were only made after the second image was already done.
I’m planning on using hot glue to attach the pieces together
And is you see lines between the pieces of the costume, that’s meant to be craft wire. It’s intended to act as a standing for a muscular structure (jaw, neck, etc)
The thing attached to my waist will be made from more pvc/hard plastic. I intend to have two holes on the sides, as to add a belt for the tail (the tail vertebrae are going to be pentagons)
I am unsure whether or not to make arms for the costume* I’m fine with having my made-up dinosaur freak be armless.
I’m also not sure if I’ll paint it, but recommendations how to do that would also be very appreciated
I plan on having the inner, handle-pvc on the top being lined up with the placement of the eyes (which both will be made from a cut-in-half Christmas ornament)
The lower jaw will also have a handle*
As for the teeth, I’m unsure what I’d use for that. I’m also unsure how many segments I’ll use just yet, or how I’d make the tail stay in a straight line (despite wanting a stiffer tail, I do want some bend to it)
Ngl I just ranted out a whole bunch of stuff, but I mean it works. My goal was to explain what I have at the moment
Again any advice here would help a LOT
I’ve done work like this, kinda. Was also diy but I’m working with a handful of similar materials, just on a grander scale from what I started with. Which somehow seems easier (mostly with body concealment. Don’t want too many of my human body parts to be noticeable at a glance, with the exception of my legs)
