One of the hardest parts was dividing the spear into two different pieces, since the spear itself measures around 2,5-3 meters. I’ve also glued a soft foam on the places, where Odin holds the spear in glued a bast cord around the foam and painted it with different shades of brown. It is heavily decorated with different sizes of foam – mainly 2mm thick moosgummi with soldered and paintbrushed details, and 0,5mm foam for upper and bottom parts. The spear was made out of looooong wooden pole used for making brooms.
#SMITE ODIN BUILD HOW TO#
As you can see, I struggled to find the right way how to decorate it – fabric color really didn’t look good on velvet, so the ribbons were much better way how to decorate it 😉 Then I had to make the third skirt part and it was a blue fabric skirt – I chose the same dark blue velvet fabric, sewn it into desired shape, decorated it with differen golden and silver ribbons that match the ingame model and glued it to the second skirt with hot glue gun. The front skirt needed then much more love because of the amount of decorations I had to put on it – there are a lot of 2mm and 0,5 foam decorations painted with golden acrylic paint. Then I covered it in shiny acrylic medium gel to make the surface shiny and match again the other skirt. I’ve just put brown acrylic paint onto it and tried to mix different shades to match the real leather used fro the other skirt. And it makes in the moosgummi perfet leather pattern for you to use. And how to make moosgummi look like leather? Look at the two pics in the bottom middle part of the collage – You just take dark moosgummi, put a wrinkled aluminium foil onto it and you iron the aluminium on the moosgummi. Second skirt looked leathery like the first one, but I hadn’t any more good quality leather, so I decided to make this part from moosgummi.
And because the skirt was really heavy, it holds in it’s place not only becaus of the lace, but also because of the braces (3rd pic). The skirt is on the 2 pictures in left corner. The I took golden lurex ribbons and glued them onto the leather since the leather was too strong to sew into.
The biggest skirt I made from old leather coat – So it is just the bottom part of the coat, that I cut and sewn into it a space for a lace, that is laced in thw fron of the body and the whole skirt is mainly on the back of the body. And to hold them on their place, I glued hair clips inside of them 🙂 Oh and the bottom parts of the braids are then decorated with foam pieces. But if you want to get rid of shine from your wig, you can try to bath it in fabric softener mixed with water (1:2) (and talc powder) for a few days. It’s still shiny, but I like it – Odin is a God, so it kinda fits. And here’s the result – thick beard, that I could braid in three thick braids and I’m really satisfied with it. So I’ve decided to cut the wig in pieces and use it for adding volume to the beard. A shiny beard and badly fitting wig came, the overall volume of the beard was bad. I have to say, that buying a long grey beard isn’t an easy thing to do. I have to admit, even on e-bay are these wizard beards and wizard wigs prices pretty damn high! 😀 So I’ve done something, that was against all my rules and advices I’ve written aboutand I bought a wizard wig and beard, with photoshopped picture and if you look closely, the wig is crepped to add volume to it.
