Lucy From Elfen Lied Ears

Post by aces.and.spades » Mon Feb 05, 2007 12:40 pm

I was thinking of cosplaying as Lucy/Nyu from Elfen Lied but I don't have any clue how I'm going to go about making her ears. I was thinking taking a cloths hanger, bending it to the shape of my head then just making them out of cardboard or something. Anyone have any better ideas?

I think they are actually horns not ears =P
You might want to try making them out of Sculpey clay.
I have seen people make demon horns that way and im sure you could just change the shape of them to get the right look.

Also Crayola makes a light weaght fluffy clay that might be better if your worried about them being heavy or cracking. Both should be in any craft store

I'm being the same character and I'm having the exact same problem. The wire does sound like a good idea but the website Lolita_Otaku gave would probably be a more realistic choice.

How 'bout paper mache(sp). That's what I'm using for my Lucy. Also, because I don't want to start a new thread when there already is one, does anyone have suggestions for the helment?
Oh noes, my nose is running! Catch it! It must not get away!!!
