Anubis Armor Cosplay
Martina Hugentobler of
Polygon Forge spent 1000 hours creating this absolutely mind-blowing, incredibly detailed Anubis costume that looks like it's CGI! Here's what she had to say about making this epic cosplay...
"The character is a statue that I found online, designed by Hui Zou and built by R-one studio. I immediately fell in love with the design and asked the artist if I could make a cosplay from it. My idea was to make my own lowpoly version of the character and they agreed. Lowpoly means I want the costume to look digital and artificial instead of realistic, like an early stylized 3D computer graphic come to life. So I started making my own templates in Blender, a 3D software.
It took a year from planning to finish, I spent around 1000 hours on it. I'm still rather new to making costumes so sometimes it takes many tries to make something work. For example, I've never cast epoxy resin before, so it took four attempts to get the heart gem right. I spent a lot of time planning on how to attach all the floating armor pieces. I built the costume with PVC which is rigid, so I had to figure out how to be able to move at all, how I can get in and out of the armor on my own, and how to make the pieces detachable for transport because they're huge - the scythe in particular."
