Halloween 2006 -- the Dark Faun

I fabricated all pieces of this costume except the ears, wig, collar and contacts. Killing two birds with one stone, as this will be a new character for Legacies LARP in November [link]

Horns: papier mache, formed around a wire armature, wrapped with rope for the spiral ridges. Cut in half, hollowed out, finished, and painted. Supported by two thin clear elastic strands, threaded through the wig so they don't show.

Tunic: suedecloth, no pattern, just simple early-period garb construction (four rectangles and two triangles, keyhole neckline).

Armsocks: Sacrificing a pair of evening gloves, cutting the fingers off and backing them with the same curly fleece as the legs.

Legs: thrift store velvet stretch stirrup pants, padded at the joint of the knee. Placed on a duct tape double and curly fleece cut by Xacto knife and hand-sewn in place. Long bull-like tail unfortunately not in evidence at this angle. Short plush felt used for body of tail, black doll hair for tip.

Feet: 6 1/2" clear-soled platform heel sandals. Thick craft foam cut and layered to add 2" total diameter to shoe base, and provide cloven hoof; skinned with the thinner variety of the same craft foam. Leather hoof-shaped sole added and Shoe Goo'd in place, traction added by adhesive sole pads. Black doll hair to help disguise clear heel and provide "shaggy" fetlock look. Covered remaining with black curly fleece, with strategically placed snaps to hold flap from legs in place.

In total: I gain nearly a foot and a half of height, and clop ever so nicely across hard surfaces.

*more specifically*
How did you get them in that shape?

~Scyndariel Nov 12, 2006

Padding

I essentially sewed an appropriately-shaped pocket over the knee of an existing pair of stretch stirrup pants, judging by the profile I wanted to achieve. I stuffed that with polyfiber, then put the fur over the whole ensemble.

Amazing!
how did you make the legs O.o?
Narnia better watch out!

Oooh... great work. Thanks for sharing that costume. An act of costumer ingenuity!

~Scyndariel Oct 30, 2006

Thanks! Now that I've broken into a prototype, I can elaborate on future costumes, including one for my mate.
