I then wanted to give the sheath a real leather look instead of just painting directly onto the PVC. I took a sheet of my faux suede and made a big fold-over seam along one edge and a nice finished seam on the other edge. I also sewed a lip of faux sherpa fur to the top side to hold into the sheath to keep my sword from scuffing. I slid the big fold-over seam into the slit between the two edges of the PVC, which kept the fabric in place snugly. I then sprayed the PVC with spray adhesive and pulled the fabric taut around the entire PVC sheath. I cut a hunk of 6 mm foam to fit into the base of the sheath, which served two purposes–it held down the loose bottom edge of the fabric and provided a nice cushion for my sword tip inside the sheath. I then covered it and the bottom of the sheath with 2mm craft foam. I also coated the fabric in a layer of Elmer’s Paper Maché Art Paste. This gave the fabric a little extra stiffness and protection without modifying the look much. Kwik Seal and PlastiDip–two of a foamsmith’s best friends. Hood opening. While the hood worked fine, it was the first piece I made and after spending a lot more time with reference photos, I realized the hood opening wasn’t the right shape. I’ll need to fix that. If you want to know more about how I made the arrowheads, they were my first foray into mold making and casting so I wrote an entire article just on that. Thank you, Smooth-On! Fail. Fail. Fail.

Take a shorter, but wide strip, and tape above the previous strip. Tape both ends to the ear base. Then rip the center of the strip and pull them together to make the taper. Tape firmly together. Trace the base onto more card, and cut it out, leaving flaps to help fit the base inside the triangles. Whilst the mask is drying, I made the ears. Please refer to the pictures on how I sculpted the ears.

Are Ashitaka And San A Couple?

I used two whole cans for the sword and hilt. Depending on your piece and desired finish you may not need to be as obsessive about it as I was, but I learned you can never sand too much from my buddy Eric Jones at CoreGeek Creations (seriously, he loves to sand). Once I was happy with my base finish, I sprayed a couple of coats of metallic paint–silver for the blade and gold for the ring on the hilt. It was so shiny, I actually saw spots for a while after taking this photo.

This is really easy. Draw a rough cloak shape on your fur. I didn't want the cloak to be very long, so I only had it down to my waist. Make sure to leave enough fur to attach to your dress later. Prince Ashitaka is the last prince of the Emishi people, a once-great tribe that is now only known as one village. His parents were guided in the care of their son by both village elders and their oracle. During a battle with a demon from the nearby forest, a demon kills the demon while he is still alive, but he gains a demonic wound that slowly kills him. Ashitaka, with his red elk and best friend Yakul, spends the majority of his time hunting. Princess Mononoke, a wolf-bred girl with whom he has a crush, has drawn him to San, a wolf-bred girl. The key to his success is his resolve, his determination to act despite the consequences, his awareness of them, and his willingness to stand up for what is right. Ashitaka’s Loyalty: Balancing Love And Duty In Princess MononokeAshitaka’s signature red pouch was one of the easiest parts of the costume. I apologize for not having any work-in-progress pictures but I essentially took a square of leftover fabric, hemmed all the edges into an octagon shape, made a couple of buttonholes to reinforce where the rope would feed through and hang, fed a length of red hemp rope through the holes, and then glued on a wooden bead. It was the perfect way to carry my driver’s license, a credit card, some cash, my cellphone, and my house keys while blending in perfectly with the cosplay. I bought my fur online on Taobao, 75RMB for 50cm x 180 cm, here: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w4004-2621074704.4.D0eddC&id=18638727574, which was enough material for me. When watching the beloved Studio Ghibli film, Princess Mononoke, one of the most memorable characters is undoubtedly Ashitaka. His unique look, including his bright red sleeves, has become iconic and has left many fans wondering: is there a name for Ashitaka’s sleeves in Mononoke? The answer, surprisingly, is yes! Ashitaka’s sleeves are known as hakama, a traditional Japanese garment that usually consists of a pleated skirt-like piece worn from the waist to the ankles. While the sleeves are a modern variation of the traditional hakama, they remain a staple of Ashitaka’s signature look and have become beloved by fans around the world.
