I made FOAM horns for my Karlach cosplay!

It's hard to beat EVA foam for lightweight, flexible props so that's what Britt used for her Karlach horns. This Baldur's Gate 3 cosplay has officially started!

Amazing work on the pair as a whole Brit, but I gotta say... The crack/core texture detail on the broken one is sooo good! Well done!!!

[@punishedprops]

That’s my favorite part too!

[@serpentartist1348]

The horns are absolutely incredible, I can't believe they're made out of foam. The level of detail and the complex 3D shape you got makes them look 3D printed

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@Codex_of_Wisdom]

Oh hey, perfect. I'm about to make horns for a satyr costume. I'll for sure be using some of these techniques!

[@punishedprops]

That’s great! If you haven’t watched it yet, check out Steve’s video too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpi1hqdol8aFkMUsi=tqW1nKvxu-135x92

[@FoxedWorks]

Bringing memories of sweeper bot! Glad to see you cutting and gluing again. No offence Bill loved your horn tutorial too

[@punishedprops]

Foam builds are such a blast :D

[@edm00se]

The horns look great! Definitely a fun character for cosplay.

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@crusherj3535]

Its has been my ambition to make a Darkness from Legend costume for 30 some years. Watching this is making want to try now. Nice work

[@punishedprops]

You can do it!

[@thirdeyenz]

Freakin' incredible work Britt. Nice to see the techniques for fixing the issues too.

[@steprockmedia]

Woah! I didn't know my favorite 3D software had a paper model export. Cool tip, Britt. Thanks.

[@punishedprops]

You're welcome! :)

[@dodg1123]

Those are so cool and I can't wait to see the finished cosplay! I am going to make my own pair of tiefling horns for a costume for renfair so this is a great tutorial thank you

[@punishedprops]

That's so rad! If you haven't seen Steve's video, he has a great horn tutorial too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpi1hqdol8aFkMUsi=ELH56J4xy0kqDF9g

[@SkeletonQueen3268]

This is AMAZING timing. I just finished up my tail and was so unsure of how I was going to do her horns

[@punishedprops]

Oh perfect!

[@leonardomapache]

I loved the video, the texturing, the text, but I especially love how you reffered to the bits on the root of the horn as little dudes.

[@maxs-lz4pn]

I haven't gotten a chance to play bg3 but I can already tell Karlach is gonna be my favorite. She's just so awesome!

[@punishedprops]

She’s such a great buddy

[@mmseng2]

Super satisfying build.

[@crash0zero]

These look awesome! I'm excited to see the finished product. I hope to see you both at Dragon Con this year!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks! Dragon Con is gonna be off the chain this year!

Love the horns, and especially you keeping in the segment working around/ correcting the issue with the swoopy part of the horn!

The horns look fantastic. I really like the textures you achieved with the broken horn.

[@punishedprops]

Thank you! =)

[@ukryta_natka]

Awesome work, woah! 🔥🔥💪 Will the flat pattern be available for purchase? It looks so great! 🖤

[@markfergerson2145]

Awesome job, and you didn’t say it but I will- the lettering came out way better than I thought it would. It’s quite legible even considering I don’t read the language.

[@punishedprops]

It's surprising how detailed you can get with foam.

[@Mat_1000]

Very nice result on these complex shapes! I like the fact that you didn't go the easy route with 3D printing and made it all by hand. I think it feels more organic. Thanks for sharing all of that build with us and courage for the rest of the costume! It looks like a lot of work because of all the details, but seeing how handled the horns, I have no doubt you'll succeed making the entire costume and that the result will be great! (that's what I think of your past costumes!) Just a step at time and in no time you'll have climbed that mountain without even realizing it! :D Stay safe! Cheers from France!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you so much! =D

They came out amazing! Your hot knife work is amazing. Do you happen to know what temperature you set yours to?

[@punishedprops]

Thanks! We turn up the hot knife temperature as high as it’ll go.

[@zephiel70]

YAAAAY TIEFLING BRIT!!

[@punishedprops]

So stoked!

[@MKempICI]

Very nice work! Particularly, the broken horn. Could you comment on why you chose Mod Podge over a thicker primer/filler like Kilz?

[@punishedprops]

We've never heard of Kilz. We've always had really good success with Mod Podge and other PVAs.

[@elvisdepelvis4431]

Awesome, you are a sculptress Britt

[@punishedprops]

Awe, thanks ☺️

[@itsagundam79]

I see a lot of creators using painters tape for patterning recently. Isn't a cloth tape like duct tape easier to form for rounded pieces? I feel like painters tape wrinkles and doesn't have quite the same give for complex curves, especially horns.

[@thomaswakefield6889]

painters tape has been a staple of pattern making for decades, it's been used for camo painting on military vehicles and equipment as well as to outline symbols, numbers, letters and much more. so it's nothing new and it's more reliable if you are careful with your pattern designs

[@itsagundam79]

@@thomaswakefield6889 I wouldn't argue that it's fantastic for flat painting, as you mention on vehicles and outlining. That's definitely true. The only painters tape I've found that excelled for anything curved or rounded is Tamiya tape, as far as painting complex curved surfaces. Pretty pricy for anything larger than model kits though. Costuming especially though, I've always found duct tape to be easier to wrap for spikes, horns, prop weapons. And many of the creators on KZbin & IG have made duct tape patterns until very recently. Kamui, Odin Makes, Evil Ted as examples.

[@Cullens_Workshop]

yay Brit!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@pedroribeirobr]

Hey Brit, Bill should pay attention on this, a worthy opponent in the prop making... Excellent work

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@pluckylump]

Is there a reason to not use the papercraft template directly to transfer to foam?

[@RealAndySkibba]

Pattern has to be adjusted for foam thickness.

[@punishedprops]

Yeah, my paper craft was pretty janky and low-poly.

[@acledfloyd]

Any chance you’re going to upload the template?

[@punishedprops]

The original pattern ended up getting modified as the horns were finished, so it isn't really useable.

[@carthius]

only part that confused me is you said you wanted the edges to be sharp on the horn and cut it so they would be sharp... then you just dremeled them smooth

[@punishedprops]

Ya, that was confusing-by sharp I meant I wanted angles. Gluing the foam edges flat together would have made a cylinder horn, instead of angular

[@1fosters]

Buy my hoooorns!

[@punishedprops]

Hoorrrrrrrrrrrns!

[@charlesforbin6937]

SPIKEY DUDES?! COME GUYS.....DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO TECHNICAL.....Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! DO THE HORNS GO.......PEW, PEW, PEW BY ANY CHANCE?
