I just can't believe this stuff exist...if only you knew how much work we had to do for the same result 20 years ago...I'm tired just thinking about it. Really, really amazing product.

[@veroniquehachenberger2217]

True to that.

[@Ninja563]

People make worbla look so easy to use x-x

[@DaveronaDesigns]

your pokemon edit was hysterical! this was super informative, I want to try it right meow!

[@madnessbydesign1415]

It always cracks me up when you say "Boobie-cups". Your work is always top-notch, and it's not surprising how many people you've inspired. Kudos! :)

[@aSnowyEvening]

Your videos have come a long way! This was adorable, hilarious, and incredibly informative! Thank you so much for this!

[@CherishDuhhofficial]

LOL i just fell in love with you "specially the booby cups" lmfaoooo

[@KamuiCosplay]

What? How else would you call them?

[@CherishDuhhofficial]

I think most people say "cup" But i prefer your terminology it's wayyyyy more cute and added many chuckles and kept me interested. You're definitely talented and have a great personality while you teach. Loved it all around. I wasn't critiquing you i was admiring

[@Ddarke11]

Having just woken up, I had to keep going back to make sure I was hearing it right.

[@willmciff3606]

Thank you so much! This tutorial saved my bacon when a mask from EVA foam went terribly wrong. A layer of black worbla and some paint tips from Benni made it look fantastic.

[@KamuiCosplay]

That's awesome!!! Glad to help!

[@sayanuij4149]

Wow, just wow. You make everything look so easy, I can't wait to start making my own armor with Worbla (I am going for Valkyrie Leona from League of Legends). My boyfriend gave me your book as a present and it is also a very good guide for me. You are an awesome cosplayer and I love all your tutorials

[@WJT225]

I have to say I've seen a bunch of your videos and have most of your ebooks and I just love the way you explain everything as well as how your own cosplays turn out (Dark Valkyrie Diana being my favorite). Just keep being amazing :)

[@thefeatheredheart9455]

I very much enjoy your videos! Thanks for the awesome tips.

[@bleuduster]

This has actually helped me a lot, thanks so much!

[@Uncle_Baby_Billy]

this girl cracks me up, she's such a dork.

[@webchez69]

She is not a dork.... That is her KZbin persona. Watch her when she is not talking... She is really super serious...

[@omikronweapon]

stepped on someone's dick XD #leavekamuialone

[@lmr2797]

So you’re describing yourself ;)

[@IChroniclesofNerdiaI]

Your tutorials are awesome I love your new studio so much~ Just needed to state this upfront :D

[@timothygorman5111]

I just bought a lot of your e-books! I am so excited!

[@nerdymouth953]

Svetlana, I love your videos! You're so adorable and funny and your costumes are AMAZING! Thanks for making such great video tutorials!!

[@romance3110]

Ich bin jedes Mal fasziniert und dankbar über eure Videos. Vielen Dank ❤

[@michaelsciortino6765]

I absolutely love your new videos! :3 keep up the great work

[@Glo349]

You're so quirky! I love it!

[@julianagarciafittipaldi6237]

You're a great inspiration for me, Svetlana. I hope one day i could be like you.

[@SilvermoonHext]

Great video! Can't wait to try some. My biggest issue with normal worbla was how much you had to sand it afterwards to try and smooth it out. Black worbla looks much better. Thanks Kamui! :)

[@cossefamily6501]

Love the video edits!!😂 you guys always teach me something new along with a nice laugh

[@RyouNoMegami]

Danke kamui for short tutorial! Was really helpful. I haven't used worbla yet. But after seeing this video I really want to try :D

[@0range1968UK]

thankyou ..loved watching your creative process.. very informative and a world away from painstakingly cutting pieces of sofa foam i did whilst doing Circus & stageshow costumery

[@ray24051]

Wow I never heard of this material it sounds very versatile.

[@j.s.connolly8579]

WOW! As a Life Long "Costumer" who is soon to be 55 I have to say that THIS was an AWESOME VIDEO! And Until now I had never even HEARD of "WORBLA"! But I WILL be using it on the NEXY Costume I build! Again GREAT Video and thanks for all of the detailed tips. That is SO IMPORTANT when doing ANY "Demo"! I've seen SO MANY Video Demos where people leave out MAJOR Details that to me are very important to what is being done AND the materials being worked with! Nice Job. :D Joe

[@nes.kuik2249]

That looks so amazing!!! I jzs’t don’t dare to imagine how difficult i must be fir a beginner to work with worbla....

[@funkertron]

how much does a full suit of armour normally cost you to make ?

[@rypli8309]

A lot

[@kikibeernink8617]

You make it look so easy haha. Thanks for the review :)

[@loveanakin85]

Awesome vid as always! Especially when in english. You ROCK Kamui😍 (p.s. love the outtakes at the end😆)

[@davidistheworst321]

"the booby cups!" I DIDNT THINK TWICE I SUBSCRIBED AS FAST AS I COULD

[@mountainjune]

I'm a seamstress and cosplay whenever I can but I've always been intimdated by the 'hard parts' (armor, props ect.) in any costume. So I've always avoided costumes with armor peices in them, having wished I didnt have to. I purchased your book The Costume Making Guide and feel infinitely better. Worbla doesn't scare me anymore. Your book and breakdown on how to work with it and what to expect has really helped me. Now to choose an epic costume for my next project. I've subcribed to your channel and look forward to viewing all your videos. :)

[@KamuiCosplay]

Glad I could help with my book! :)

[@ComfortablyLost2020]

Love your stuff, learning so much

[@alfredogarcia4102]

Just saw three of your videos, I am very impressed. Got my mind thinking for next Halloween, thank you! :-)

[@EmilyMeganX]

your work is beautiful and i am so inspired :D

[@SATALIT3]

Makes a hat out of worbla, Slams it on head. Perfect!

[@thenar]

Thanks Kamui, that was helpful.

[@dizzyliz1x1x2]

I love the color advantage for painting!

[@biologicalFallacy]

you are so cuuuuute!!! (as always) awesome video kamui!

[@iClowns]

How amazing! It's great that I found your channel! Like!!!

[@spellbunny]

I bet you get a lot of cosplay questions but I also just love your fashion/style in real life!

[@mrmaged2988]

You are the source of my inspiration. Love you♥️♥️

[@auberry9900]

Helpful review, thank you!

[@cinerdella4693]

I am so in love with your skill

[@MaddySantamaria]

I love your videos soooooo much!!

[@BlackDawnYaoiLover]

I've been wanting to work with Worbla for so long

[@judymcclendon7972]

Yes again! Wonderful!

[@Shandykey]

Seh mir grad fast all deine Sachen an, weil bald german Comic Con ist :D. Hoffe man sieht dich dort auch. Deine Sachen sind wirklich hilfreich. Jetzt müsste man nur genug kohle haben x"D

[@luna_marte_husky]

Love all your videos you are a genius :-)

[@PhoenixEncore]

OMGOOODNESS! That beginning!!! I almost chocked because I was eating, but it was awesomely funny! "Worbla's evolving" LOL

[@DaScorp]

Du hast es echt drauf, Mega :D

[@meleth2day]

"Dadadadadadadada" > I heard your call at the end of the video... I came as fast as I could oWo

[@FableLilly]

I actually want to try this ❤️❤️❤️

[@graywolfstudios4983]

Hello! I absolutely love your tutorials! they're extremely helpful! I do have a question; as I am venturing further into armor I was wondering where to get the clear half sphere shape to shape the booby cups? Thank you for all you help!

[@samburgett7309]

You make it look so easy

[@noctrena]

awesome work. I have been trying to get clear worbla forever so I am guessing that this new stuff is gonna be hard to get as well

[@mabilleaudrey2154]

It's looks so easy when we"re watching loool

[@sarahdouda6296]

love it !!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Thanks!

[@natanguerracruz2238]

Tanks for tutorial 😉👍

[@jackiestout8925]

You are soo amazing soo funny definity an inspiration💗💗💕💕💕

[@Sirloveless86]

thanks for the review, awesome as always also your English has gotten extremely good no more subtitles!!!!!!

[@amethystgm2650]

i love this woman, she is creative and pretty Greetings from Mexico :3

[@longlee1100]

Imao haha, I will sub just for that pokemon random theme

[@diosrodriguez-ih7zb]

Thank you for this video . 🙏🏻

[@jasondonnell9628]

This is neat and all, not be a downer, but I make props and have used many types of materials. One thing I have found though is that a dark base (like this new black) can tend to fudge the accuracy of lighter paints. This can be overcome but it will require additional time, effort and alternate primer colors before being able to lay the final color.

[@kermitslover]

Thank you so much for posting your tutorials! I absolutely could not have gotten through my first Worbla project without you! I'm curious, if the Black Art is less adhesive do you think the final product will be less stable? For instance, I used the worbla around D-rings in order to lace up the back, and I'm curious if the black worbla will be more inclined to break at those points. Same goes with the details upon transport.

[@zavellart]

I love these breastplates they're so cool! I'm inspired to make some now for my drag looks! Subscribing...

[@KamuiCosplay]

Yay!

[@HowToCosplayyy]

amazing!

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

Interesting as always Kamui TFS "thanks for sharing" Bestest G:)

[@aelaria]

Sehr hilfreiches Video, gefällt mir! Wenn du das machst, sieht das so unglaublich einfach aus... Ich habe letztens auch meine erste Brustplatte machen wollen, bin auch gut vorangekommen, allerdings hatte ich Probleme mit den Körbchen, da ich diese etwas zu nah beieinander gesetzt habe :/ Aber ich versuche es weiter! Und nochmal, super Video!

[@RaitoWaifu]

It's... BLORBLA

[@EthanW56]

You're such a dork... I love it XD

[@dullbatarang165]

If you wanted a super smooth finish, I bet you could brush on some smooth cast product on top like they do with regular foam.

[@hakzol5620]

Awesome!!!

[@chillinator]

Awesome. Great information and a zany-yet-engaging presentation ;)

[@KamuiCosplay]

Thanks! What's a zany-yet?

[@chillinator]

It's part of a "compound modifier" (zany + yet + engaging) It's a series of words meant to be read together as a modifier to the noun - so "zany-yet-engaging" is a compound adjective describing your presentation. Don't sweat it - it's a compliment - lol - and I subscribed ;)

[@meridianfrost2890]

Can you please tell me what dress form you use? I want to make sure that the one I purchase will be compatible with worbla.

[@AfricanEmpress01]

These were nice. Didn't know you could do this with Black Worbla. Brown worbla is too stiff for this. TY P.E.A.C.E

[@CynthiaLeeFontaineOfficial]

Wuaoooooooo amazing thanks for share

[@cosplaycharli8361]

Fantastic!

[@blukuro]

I have a quick question about painting! I primed my worbla with modge podge, but I was wondering if it would work to use spray paint on it? I’m just worried about it rubbing off:’) Also, I just want to say that I love your cosplays and your videos so much! Your channel is always my go-to when I need help with what I’m working on! Thank you for taking the time to make these for us!!❤️

[@Paragrafin.gaming]

Hey there Kamui! Thank you so much for this amazing review! I still have a question: You used woodglue to prime your breastplate but I have read a blogpost from another cosplayer who does not suggest woodglue as a primer because it splits off when you move the black worbla around (for example when putting on a bracer) Can you confirm this or do you still recommend woodglue? Thanks so much and keep up your amazing work!

[@latuacantante1990]

Ugh... you make it look so easy...

[@josemanuel2724]

Gosto muito das suas ideias são bonitas amei o seu vídeo parabéns pelo seu vídeo éstais bonita

[@AllyCatastrophe]

Ahhh that's amazing!! Thank you so much!! This is such a dumb question, but what do you add the breastplate to, and how do you do it?! ^_^

[@aliservan7188]

Something like 6 out of 10 women I talk to at cons have made their costumes as a direct result of watching Kamui's videos. I suspect it's similar in men but they're too wet to admit it.

[@zelkareel8149]

guy here: i openly admit that kamui has inspired the hell out of me! she's just awesome, our noble queen of armor!

[@madnessbydesign1415]

Guy here too: I don't even cosplay, but she's given me hope that I could create cool costumes for short films I want to make. There's no shame in being inspired by a master...

[@omikronweapon]

I doubt there's many men that make or wear cosplay, but feel too embarassed to admit to something like that. Comments like yours help keep the stereotyping alive. Perhaps you shouldn't only talk to the women if you want the men to be more open about cosplaying ;)

[@crazyycandyy655]

heey! klasse video. hab deinen kanal vor ein paar tagen entdeckt und bin fasziniert von deinem talent😮bisher hab ich noch nicht mit worbla gearbeitet. hab mir aber welches bestellt und möchte bald mit meiner ersten brustplatte loslegen. nun meine frage: welche plastikkugelgröße (durchmesser) hast du für die cups benutzt? kann das ganz schlecht einschätzen...😕 danke schon mal im voraus!

[@laurentippett1996]

I’m currently in the process of making my night elf armor but with Eva foam. My breast plate does not go all the way around my rib cage but more so ending at the sides. How do you keep it in place from falling down?

[@KamuiCosplay]

You still have to put some attachment behind your back like strings or some velcro to hold it in place. :)

[@AkemikunCosplay]

Question!! What size craft foam do you use Kamui?? Thanks!!

[@naomishae3084]

omg how do you make the details stick so well?? mine keep popping off agnsfklsdknfg

[@starksparkle]

You're so cuteeee💚

[@Turial]

Darn you make it look so easy :) I was wondering if you had to sand anything with the black worbla?

[@nixland]

You are funny and adorable ... :) Thanks for the sharing by the way

[@rmoose2]

You are adorable! Your Pokemon reference cracked me up. Seems to have a lot of the same advantages as Tandy's TerraFlex! But does it smell like Maple Syrup? LOL

[@LadyEncantarellasOffice]

0:24 I love Kamui

[@FernandaPedrosoCS]

even black it was perfect too :o

[@katattack1648]

Now i dont know what kind of witchcraft this is, but I like it

[@BecauseImBored1]

Does the wood glue not crack though? I'm making automail and I feel it would crack am I wrong?

[@KamuiCosplay]

Depends on which brand you are using. The german brand we use does crack very slightly but only after a year or two. You can try use Flexbond instead which you can find on cosplaysupplies.com

[@art-y8900]

Thanks for the Tutorial Kamui ^•^ I wanted to ask what to do if the armor i want to built hasn't much artwork yet. Is it ok to use my imagination or should i wait until i can find more information about the whole piece? Are you going to be at the ANIMUC 2016?

[@Dynexsil]

I'm making my armour for my Lux cosplay from League of Legends so I might use black worbla as it's silver ^_^

[@solecito122]

I should have started with worbla!!

[@amarinde1012]

Hi Kamui, have you ever used thibra before? I was wondering what your experience was with this material, as I never heard of it before. I'm planning to start on my first worbla/thibra? project ever soon, I'm now collecting all the materials :)
