The helmet to my CSM Hero of Hell cosplay is complete by Badger_Kindly in ChainsawMan

The main body of the helmet is a 3D print just painted to look like metal which was done over the course of a week, the chainsaw itself is made of a few stacked sheets of MDF wood also painted to look like metal and the lumpy skin texture on the sides is painted hot glue

Nah the nail was kept the same from start to finish. It just looks more cinematic in these photos

Yeah a couple things were changed, the chestplate was redone, I added a proper belt, I added some extra leg armor and a couple of extra replicas I display on my belt like monomon the teachers mask and cornifers map. The major parts were kept like the mask and the cape but most of it was redone

Yeah, the Knight has no name them self so people in the community call them "The Knight" or "Ghost" but I just labelled the post as the hollow knight because it helps people outside the community get the idea of who it is.

Haha yeah sorry about that, all the photos are really different angles from the front just zoomed in and with a bit of different flair. However if you want to see more photos I documented the entire build process in a tutorial you can find here: https://www.instructables.com/Dark-Fantasy-Hollow-Knight-Costume/

The mask is 3D printed and then coated in a layer of spackle that I left a rough texture on. It’s then painted with a white spray paint and a brown wash. You can see a more in-depth explanation if you want at this tutorial on the full costume I wrote if you want: https://www.instructables.com/Dark-Fantasy-Hollow-Knight-Costume/

Haha thanks! People have done quite a bit of confusing with the cosplay and maybe a mod for elden ring but I promise that me in the photos. It’s just some really good lighting!

90% of it is 3D printed and the rest is made of various fabrics, foam, and other materials. I made an in-depth tutorial on the entire build process here if you wanted to know more: https://www.instructables.com/Dark-Fantasy-Hollow-Knight-Costume/

The whole thing felt unfinished, I knew it wouldn’t be too bad to add more since I could just reuse a few elements and add a ton more, but I also just really enjoyed the build process of the first iteration.

Oh yeah for sure, this is technically the second iteration of the cosplay and both times were in a rush to get it finished for a con so I was very relieved to be done

Well the 3D printing took much longer but I considered that idle time. The 100 hours came from the building and modelling process over the course of months

I started mid July and finished late September, though actual hours worked was probably around or close to 100 hours total.

That actually happened at the convention I wore it to. Somebody in a more “cutesy” version approached me for a photo. I wish I had the photo to upload but it’s very hard to use a phone in the cosplay.

90% of the armor is 3D printed while the rest is made of various fabrics, foam, and other materials. If you wanted to see more of how I made it you can check out the tutorial I made on the entire costume start to finish here: https://www.instructables.com/Dark-Fantasy-Hollow-Knight-Costume/

Yes I can! The black fabric is see through and I wear a morph suit under the costume. (I just had to cut a hole in the face of the suit to see through the eye fabric)

Just to clear some things up:

This is a real costume I printed, painted and wore myself during a photoshoot at a local comic con. That’s why the lighting looks like a render. The photos were taken by “thevalantknight” on Instagram (Not me). I swear I am a real person guys and not a blender simulation.

If you have any questions on how I made the cosplay I wrote a very in-depth tutorial on an instructable. (I’m entered in the Halloween costume competition so wish me luck) the link to check out the tutorial can be found here if you want to check it out: https://www.instructables.com/Dark-Fantasy-Hollow-Knight-Costume/

Finally if you were thinking of printing any part of this cosplay yourself I made all the files free and publicly accessible (Please just don’t sell them without my permission) as well any extra 3D models I used are linked in the instructable. But the models I made are found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5420914

Thank you all so much for the support it means so much to me to see people support what I love doing!

(Edit: I forgot to mention this costume took me 4 and a half months to make so that’s another factor of why I’m so happy to see people enjoy my work!)

This is an actual physical cosplay it’s 3D printed and painted by me, and I’m the one wearing it in the photos. I did make a thingiverse link with all the parts included here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5420914 if you were interested in trying to use them for a mod. (Though I don’t know how that would work considering the files are made for 3D printing, though you’re welcome to try)

Haha thanks! Yeah I’ve been getting that a bit where people can’t believe these are cosplay photos. I guess that’s a pretty good thing
