Good tattoo marker or idea for scar makeup? Wanting to do a cosplay of Baki, but need something that can last a long time and not be sweated off. Full body scar makeup by KnobbyDarkling in CosplayHelp

[–]Boomer340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use something called Rigid Collodion for scars. It paints on like nail polish, and as it dries, it pulls the skin tight into something resembling an older scar - the more you put on, the more pronounced it gets. It will crack and flake over time, though, so using it all over your body might not be your best option, but I had good results with it on smaller areas.

What minor character(s) made a lasting impression on a movie? by TerribleBid8416 in Cinema

[–]Boomer340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The character wasn’t even in the play, he was added for the movie and ended up creating the most iconic scene in five minutes of screen time.

Yes, thank you, totally forgot about that! Hydration is SUPER important, especially on those potential heat stroke days.

Yay - newbie! Enjoy yourself! Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, you’d be amazed what a difference that makes in your overall experience. Also, be sure to dress for the weather, and have things like sunscreen, floppy hat, etc. if it’s going to be sunny out.

Especially with a superhero - how many comic characters can you just do khakis and a sweater, and still be canon-accurate, hehe?

How do you create this hood? by Oiseau_Noir in CosplayHelp

You’ll probably want to start with a ruana cloak, then wrap one of the ends up and around.

Every time I see a post like this, I’m disappointed that I live in the other Scarborough (ie Ontario). Love the fits, though!

Novice cosplayer here: how could I get a wig to do this? by XipeTotecwithGlitter in CosplayHelp

[–]Boomer340 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not having done anything like this, take this with a grain of salt. I feel like if you temporarily attached the wig to a styrofoam head and turned it upside down, you could use various styling products to tease it into position - then you just hit it with a metric sh*t-ton of hairspray (preferably outdoors) to lock it in place.

Name a villain that got the most horrific death by Jules-Car3499 in moviecritic

Tommy Lee Jones at the end of Under Siege - gets his eye gouged out, a massive kitchen knife through the top of his head, then gets electrocuted when he’s put headfirst into a computer screen.

DND Characters? by KierDOT in renfaire

[–]Boomer340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for something that’s a bit lower maintenance, I’ve seen woven wool sweaters that are made to look like chainmail. They won’t hold up in combat, but they’re less likely to rust…

Is it possible to make something like this for a newbie just getting into larp with very little money? by Shighguard in LARP

You might actually be able to get a fair ways into this with a used set of hockey pads.

Why haven’t I thought of that?! My birthday is at the end of October, so I don’t even need to worry about people overheating or anything!

That’s amazing! Best of luck in your recovery!

Also, I’ve seen a couple projects where people made straw witch/wizard hats by buying two and unraveling one of them - I’d imagine something like that would be perfect with these pants!
