- I got asked a couple times how I made the hump on my arakkoa cosplay. I am happy to show how I hide the human figure! I like to do it in a way that won't hurt my back since I have scoliosis. Hope this helps you in your own Monster making!

my mother gave me life but your arakkoa cosplay made me want to live it.
THIS is exactly what I was looking for! I want to morph the human body into other-worldly proportions. I would love to see a detailed video (maybe you already have one) of building the shoulder structure - the basics of attaching the straps to wear, where to put them etc.
That's a good idea, I'd love to revisit the shape of the shoulder structure to improve it, then I would like to release a template for it.
This will delicately improve my tailed beast cosplay for sure!!! Good luck fellow hunter, the blood is calling!!!
I was struggling with figuring out the hump, but your explanation helped me a lot. I don't feel lost anymore and now I know exactly how I want it to be. Thank you for always clearing tings out for us! Keep up the good work you are amazing! 💕
So glad to have helped!
Bloodborne. Most likely a cleric beast or Vicar Amelia. Did not need the hint. I've been a silent follower of your content for quite a while, and being a fan of Bloodborne as well, the answer was clear. You are truly an inspiration to me as an artist and as a person. I relate a lot to you, (including faith!) and I really enjoy your work. Your husband's good at being a test subject as well. Anyways, I eagerly await your Bloodborne beast, in addition to your fursuit upgrades,(I'm holding you to that!)
Fear the old blood,

Bloodborne is correct! But might not be a creature you're expecting ;D so glad there are more Bloodborne fans in my audience!
@@KazplayVideos How silly of me. The ones I picked were way too obvious to pick. You're actually making the One Reborn. That would translate really well into costume! Jokes aside, most of the beasts and characters of Bloodborne have really complex designs, so I sure am curious who you try to capture in foam. Can't wait! Thanks for replying back.
This is really useful! I have Scoliosis too so finding these methods to make costuming more comfortable are a blessing.
I remember meeting you at fc 2019. It honestly was super inspiring and motivated me to make more suits
I needa be krampus this year and I'm a very short woman and needed extra weight to the costume thank you so much for this tutorial
A character I'm interested in cosplaying has an elongated neck, I think this will help!! Thanks for sharing!
Just love your planning and design process. I've learned so much from your work. You are amazing.
Thanks! I love the planning process because if done well I have clear goals laid out
@@KazplayVideos I just get too impatient and ultimately regret it when I fail to lay out a sound foundational/functional design. I'm more artist than engineer. I'm fascinated by how well you hide the human form. truly inspirational. Love to run some ideas by you sometime.
1:56 puppy!
Seriously so happy to learn these tips. I've been getting so many ideas just from your videos and the way you do things alone. It's awesome! Thank you for making these amazing costumes and sharing them with us!
I'm so glad to hear that! It's exactly why I love sharing
A hunter must hunt ❤
I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I´m currently working on a Warhammer Demigryph for LARP and I used your great ideas for Hoggers legs and the Greymane eyes so far. :)
Great to hear! would love to see your work :)
This is awesome stuff!
Is super jealous of the greymane suit! 😍 and is clueless of your next project even with the hint. But still excited to see what you make next!!!
Thank you! Next project will be a good departure from my usual, but still monster-y
This is really cool and helpful!!
Now *this* is art
thanks for video!
This is very helpful
While i am more along with it now, i am making a furbolg / werebear based on your hogger design. I have a small video on my channel if you wish to see it.. I was planning to be done by july for metrocon tampa. but it was cancelled. so production has slowed down, unfortunately. All i really need to finish are the legs and arms / hands and he'll be done.
I saw HoliMat was canceled as well, so maybe next year? I'm also in the Tampa area, so I look forward to seeing that stunning work--if that's fine with you.
@@Dinker27 yee. Next year def
Yeah all the canceled cons were really demotivating. I hope you can get back to doing things that you love! I couldn't find the video on your channel because it's been too long (my bad) but I am curious to see it
@@KazplayVideos oh! Hi. I changed my cosplay stuff to another channel to not get clogged up with my gaming stuff. Its under malonze productions cosplay. I have 2 videos of it fully done. One at metrocon (won best technical achievement) and one during Halloween in the day before kids show up lol
@@MalonzeProductionsGaming it turned out really great! Congrats on the wins :D
Love your videos I'm a huge fan ... and wish u can make a video per week... !!!
Maybe one day! right now my goal is every other week XD
Any chance you've got any videos on how you made the helmet support that the mask is attached to? I'm trying to create the creature with a similar build and your idea for doing the hunched back is excellent! I'm wondering if I can use one of those technical police/swat helmets as the base for the supports to come off of.
I don't have a video about that specifically, I though my thermoplastics design video does have a closer look at it. I have wanted to try using a welding helmet brace as the base of a newer mask though!
Link to that thermoplastics video czcams.com/video/8UjJmm6_uRI/video.htmlsi=ynCFSLaj9oEe-NIj
I've been curious about this. I have a bad back IRL and need the assistance of a cane to walk. I've had this idea in mind of making an old Chozo from the Metroid series, an old bird woman with a large walking stick and a hunched appearance. So you bet I'll be taking notes here.
That sounds like an awesome idea! Hope my video helps you make it a reality :D
@@KazplayVideos Thank you, it's interesting that you make a helmet and use metal shelf pieces to attach the head to your head. That's a new idea to me.
I might have to experiment with it once I'm able to actually sit down and get back to making.
I love how theres 0 dislikes
Could you make a video showing how you made the neck part I'm wanting to make a hunch character but I'm not sure how to make that hunched figure work
I'll add it to my list of videos to make!
My question is not about the hump. But during your video, I saw a wireband inside of the beak in front of the facemask. I am quite sure it is a mechanism for a moving jaw.
I am working on a Project like that and have an idea of that mechanism, but it would be very helpful to see how others solved the problem of a moving jaw, without having the own jaw within the jaw of the mask.
Can you tell more about that?
Thanks, very much!
I have a little video about that on my Facebook page: facebook.com/Kazulcosplay/videos/1517739741802166/ i had a cable go from my jaw, to the top of the character's head, then to the character jaw. it was rigged so the characters's mouth would open opposite to mine so I could have the mouth default to open so I could see. Hope that makes sense!
@@KazplayVideos Thanks very much! This is helpful. Now I have to find a way to make the moevement similar to the real mouth.
But it's good to see it works.
Do you have any advice for anyone who wants to go with a hunched back, but doesn't have any knowledge or power tools to use for the illusion? I've always wanted to cosplay the twin victim baby-heads from Silent Hill 4.
The only power tools I used in the arakkoa and Genn Greymane was a dremel and a heat gun. I used the dremel to drill the holes that I put bolts through on the helmet and the resin base. dremels are really easy to use and there are lots of tutorials about using them on youtube, just jump in and give it a try!
Do you have a template of the mask for purchase? Thanks.
I'll add it to my list of ideas for templates to make! But right now I don't have it, this was a resin base cast from a mold I no longer have
Are all these charecters from movies/tv shows or are they originaly made by you?
These are mostly characters/creatures from the game world of Warcraft, and the Goatman is from the game Diablo
@@KazplayVideos is it possible in the cosplay world, to make your own character?
Why don't u make a fursuit
I'm making a couple right now!
