Tutorial describes a process of making two kinds of shoulderplates for Cloud Strife and Sephiroth cosplays. Enjoy! If something is unclear please ask me in comments.
This tutorial is great, and I intend to try it. But I have heard that if you try to bake polymer clay on a plasticine form, the plasticine will turn into liquid and make a mess, so the second part of your tutorial probably will work best with air-dry clays like epoxy putty or paper mache.
Thank you! Yes, I wouldn't dare to bake the plasticine: some brands even could be toxic! Epoxy putty is the best choice IMHO, and paper-mache sounds good too!
Yes, I mean a real leather, received from cows to be exact. The fake one is not an option in this case because only real leather holds its form while shaped this way. It's a unique material that can't be substituted easily.
Thanks a lot! There are several ways, lots of materials could be used besides epoxy putty and leather, I just showed 2 methods that worked best for a certain purpose.
