Nidalee
While I’m by no means good at playing League of Legends, it’s one of my favorite games! I thoroughly enjoy the gameplay and strategy, along with the lore behind each of the Champions. Nidalee’s backstory was one that caught my eye, and I wanted to use her costume as a way of pushing my comfort zone in terms of materials.
The base wig for Nidalee was a Jeannie from Arda Wigs. I stubbed the base ponytail, then created a foam core ponytail that attached to the stub. The bangs also had foam core within them and were teased to make them “poofy.”
The brown fabric used was deerskin leather. The faux fur was Mongolian. I used Crayola Air Dry Clay to sculpt all of the fangs and claws. They were painted with acrylics and sealed with Mod Podge, then strung together with suede lacing.
The body markings were done using white Mehron Liquid Body Paint.
