Posting this in this section since I see a SCANDAL cosplay thread here.

This whole thing started out as a joke in shoutbox. But after some discussion, Neil (zimbobbio) and I actually committed to this project almost 2 months before AM2 made the SCANDAL announcement official. This is a brief photo log of how we did it.

We used these tutorials to help get us started, but after a certain point it was mostly improvisation:

CANTA!

Spoiler:

DORAEMON!
Not many pictures here, because we did a lot of the work literally less than 24 hours before Day 0.

Spoiler:

FINISHED!

Spoiler:

WOW! I didn't realize how much work actually went into those. I honestly assumed they were professionally made and you just bought it. My bad lol

These deserve an applause guys but wow with that amount of foam aren't the headgears heavy?

Your "disaster" room seems a lot like how my room usually is 90% of the time. 8D

I'm rather tempted to try this out myself so if I ever decide to do it in the future, it might take a shorter amount of time since I did it once already. xD

good work guys

Thats epic!! You had the heart to do this didn't you... next time scandal comes you should be their mascot that walks around promoting scandal...

Dude. We did it. Not much more needs to be said than that hahaha, no doubt the weekend would not have been possible or at all the same without your help

p.s. glad your room made a full recovery!

and the best end to the weekend regarding our mascot heads was how SCANDAL themselves called us KAWAII while having those unforgettable impressed looks on their faces! they even gave us a corresponding action, the whole big head - small body arm movements haha too awesome

great job guys i guess it paid off since you guys are featured in scandal's blog :>

Wow, like a pro >c< two thumbs up
and you are succes, great job everyone, appreciate it very much

Nicely done!

and I'm jealous you've got your place back to normal already lol

haha very niiiiiiiiiiice!!

@dummibears

the foam is actually pretty light. we just had to make sure the head space was large enough to breathe but small enough so that it doesn't wobble when moving around.

+1 This post is excellent, amazing job guys! Will ask you 2 for advice when even thinking about making a costume.

Ho!!!!!

Those are great inventions! I didnt even know they where made by you guys.

The head is a piece of art. Very well done!

And that fan at the back of the head is definitely needed!

These are really awesome!
Glad that the hard work is paid :3
Thanks for sharing! xD
