Road to ECCC 2015 - Fierce Deity Link Cosplay Build

My youngest daughter decided she wanted to be Fierce Deity Link for Emerald City Comicon this year. I started her costume a few weeks ago. The game is fairly old so the character detail modeling is poor. My main reference has been from an official Nintendo statue.

Here's my current progress so far. I build this out of EVA foam, both floor mat and craft. The next step will be to seal the foam then primer and paint it.

Worbla Smoothing Comparison

This video shows and explains the various test pieces I created in searching for the perfect combination of materials in getting super smooth Worbla. Worbla is a heat reactive thermo-plastic that has become popular in the cosplay/costuming community.
