Fire & Water Dragons (ATLA Cosplay)
My biggest cosplay / craft project so far are these bamboo masks of Fire and Water Dragons (technically lions or qilins by lion dance standarts). Here is a photo with my friend wielding the fire dragon on his Zuko cosplay, while I wield the water dragon.
"Firebender" and "Waterbender" are based on both northern chinese lion masks, and southern chinese lion masks. Just like the northern lions, they perform as a couple of male (Firebender - color red/orange) and female (Waterbender - color blue/green).
Each mask weighs about 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) and has LED lights, blinking eyelids and movable jaw.
