You remember my Loki costume? [link]

Yeah, I wore it to the movies when I went to see "The Avengers" with my friend (she was dressed as Black Widow), and now I don't have much use for it. So I've sold it.

Anyway, my dad was here yesterday, and he's not that bad with a camera, so I had him take pictures of me dressed in my Loki costume. Because before I send it off, I want to have picture evidence that I actually MADE something this awesome (because it is kind of awesome). When I get old, I want to be able to point at these pictures and say to the younger generation: "Look here, look what I made when I was your age. What have you done with your life?"

These are, in order from the top:
* The costume, sans spear, helmet and cape, from the front.
* The costume, with spear, from the side.
* Crouching. And yes, this is the closest thing I got to an actual pose.
* Strolling with Loki ...
* Side-view, and would you look at that, I have a cape!
* From the back. Lovely view of the aforementioned (not-ironed) cape. (God, I hate ironing.)
* Loki is angry. But apparantly amused at the same time. Hm.
* Loki discovers water. I don't know.
* Closeup of helmet etcetera.

Also, if anyone's interested in how it's made, I wrote that on tumblr. See links below.

The pants: [link]
The jacket: [link]
The armour: [link]
The rest of the base costume: [link]
The cape: [link]
The helmet: [link]
The staff/spear: [link]

I have also recently dumped a whole lot of Loki costume pictures on my tumblr, so if anyone would be interested in that, they're there.

Uhm, I guess that's it. Yeah.

First I just wanted to say that your Loki costume is amazing! I just had two questions about the helmet, did you mold it right over your head while doing the paper mache? Also did you put any type of wire in your horns? Thanks so much :)

Thank you! And well, I molded the base right on my head with papier mache (I wore a hat, though, so no wallpaper paste in my hair! XD). When I had that dry, I could work with it from there. And there is no wire anywhere in the helmet. I made the horns from paper (like ... carton? Thick paper) and tape, and then paper clay to smooth things out.

Thank you so much! I did start making his helmet from those foam mats that are usually found in kids classrooms as another tutorial recomended but even after heat gunning the thing and using the dremel to smooth and shap it it's just too thick an odd looking. I'm hoping I can make one like yours using paper mache :)
