I have not cosplayed before, and haven’t done a Halloween costume since college. I wanted to compile some protips from some forum goers here on how to pull of a bad@$$ Ganondorf costume for convention in about 5 weeks.
That link there should pull up about a hundred images or so of the armored regalia version of this character, seen in the games Super Smash Bros for Wii/WiiU and Hyrule Warriors. I would appreciate any help in designing and constructing the armor pieces. I should be able to fashion the swords decently enough.
I will fashion it out of whatever materials I can get my hands on. I have a plethora of paints. Stacks of 1/8" Baltic birch, cardboard, and EVA foam.
I would be much appreciative of anyone who could help me get this costume together in time, and would be able to display your info at the booth if you like, as some advertising for you.
My daughter Sam has done a lot of costumes on her own. She could probably help you as much with what not to do as what to do.
Here’s a shot of her in some armor she did herself from her FB page Spangles Cosplay
No worbla experience here (yet) but The Costumer’s Manifesto is an incredible compilation of resources and a great place to start. Be forewarned - it’s a very deep rabbit hole!
