This was a collab project with my friend Lydia. It was for her Halloween costume. The costume is supposed to be a barbarian (because that’s her last name). Almost everything you see was handmade; only things that weren’t were the boots (though we added the fur), the leather belts, the golden beads (in the hair and on the necklace), the axe, the sword, and the dagger. Everything else was pretty much made out of EVA Foam (aka Craft Foam) and painted to either look like leather (the sheath and the top), or like metal (the arm pieces and the skull buckle/medallion). The pikes on the arm pieces were also EVA Foam, but the fang necklace was made with Model Magic Clay. The fur belt was also made of EVA Foam, and then just covered in fur.
