Cloudjumper cosplay full#
One year Tilly had full scuba gear inside of an aquarium I made for her while Saint-Saens’ Aquarium from Carnival of the Animals was blasting on loop in my classroom. When I was teaching, I had a turtle puppet named Tilly who taught my kids about music history. I’ve always made costumes for my animals from when I was little. In the middle of this project, my 3rd son gave me a personal throwdown–turn our beloved toy dachshunds, Popcorn and Pumpkin into Toothless and the Light Fury respectively. I topped everything off with chenille boot covers with dragon toes. The wings affix with velcro on the back of the hoodie, and there’s foldover elastic straps so she can flap her wings.
Cloudjumper cosplay how to#
Learn how to heat set fabric in How to Block Print Fabric. I didn’t heat set the paints, but if I ever need to wash them, I will do just that. Painting them with nadder’s mottled look was the best part of this process. I wrote up some tips for sewing without a pattern for freehand cut projects just like this one. I freehand cut them from pique knit fused to Peltex interfacing and backed with felt. To the hoodie base, I added eyes, teeth, nostrils, so many spikes, and a horn all from felt. Since Deadly Nadders come in a variety of colors, I thought, what the hey, let’s make it pink! So I decided to make Stormfly’s type of dragon–the Deadly Nadder But I ran into 2 problems:ġ)she really, really, really loves pink and Stormfly is turquoiseĢ)I found a perfect pink dino hoodie that fit her for $1. I would have liked to have made Astrid’s dragon, Stormfly for my daughter. The custom painting on these pieces with acrylic was really fun but also took FOR-E-VER to dry! The crest and brow attach to the costume with safety pins. All the facial features are made from felt too. I made the brow from French terry and felt, and the crest pieces from Bosal bag interfacing. The crest and brow is the most recognizable feature of Cloudjumper. There’s a smaller set of wings I made to go under the arms. My husband made a PVC harness which I covered with a large set of wings from brown fleece. For this project, we decided it would be the perfect base for Cloudjumper. Someone at church gave us this great dinosaur costume. Cloudjumper My guy mimicking Cloudjumper’s underbite
Cloudjumper cosplay movie#
Came out pretty well, I think.We mostly stuck to the 1st movie with the exception of 2 of the dragons: Cloudjumper (from How to Train Your Dragon 2) and the Light Fury (from movie 3).įirst, Cloudjumper. The rest of the mask is craft foam layers and paint, built up from a paper model. Found a snap on motorcycle helmet face shield in smoke, and cut it down with a dremel cut-off wheel for the lens. The Mask was the key element, so we spent a fair amount of time on it.įrom sketch to finished. In the photo above, you can see the camo rope (line?) and how it looks when sandwiched between craft foam and yoga mat for the chest plate. I sandwiched lengths of rope cheap camp poly rope (as seen in the photo below) I had on hand between layers to make the raised sections. I cut the pieces from yoga mat and covered them with a layer of a large sheet of craft foam. I picked up a yoga mat for <$10 at Marshall's, and went to work. We started with some sketches on cover stock That sent him on lots of research on light saber hilts, mask, etc, while I went straight to the 501st for costume references since I'd never seen the character myself :eek. This year, I wanted him to help so he could start to learn how to make cool stuff (and while I am still way away from the awesome stuff I see on the RPF, I still need some help as the boys see what is possible [thanks, RPF members!:devil). The younger was Cloudjumper, Valka's dragon Last year for the eldest, it was Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon 2. Pretty much a first time poster, go easy on me.įor the past couple of years, I've given the kids a choice: Halloween costume, or Harry Potter Yule Ball (our Holiday Party) costume? I can't do both, so they have to pick.
