Finding and applying the right primer for EVA foam might be tricky, so I tried to show you six easy solutions! I used white glue, Mod Podge, latex, Flexi Paint, Flexbond and PlastiDip! What is your favorite??? -Svetlana

And here are Yelan’s shoes! 👠 The base looks a little bit different than the reference, but it’s more important to have them comfy than being 100% accurate. That’s why they are also a bit too large. For the details I just covered the shoes with tape and then Benni cut me some perfectly fitting pleather details with our laser! He even scanned the shape of the shoe to create the 3D printed blue crystal for the back! How do you like the result?

TWITCH: twitch.tv/kamuicosplayI built two GIANT Nergigante claws! 🔥 #cosplay #diycraftsKamuiCosplay2023-08-04 | The Nergigante Dual Blades look super ridicolous, so I just HAD to build them for myself! My main material was EVA foam and foam clay! I burned in a texture with my soldering iron, primed the material with PlastiDip and painted everything with airbrush, acrylic paint and oil paint! It was an incredibly fun project! 🦔⚔️
Yelan’s right glove is finished as well! This one was far more complicated than expected and sewing the net fabric especially drove me crazy! I love the design, but sometimes I really wish all those Genshin costumes would be a little bit easier to make, ha ha! 😂 But as you can see, sewing basic gloves is actually quite easy if you keep your patterns simple!
Gloves are always tricky to make, so hopefully this little video helps you with your own project! Yelan's left glove was quite simple though, even though the bracelet gave us some headaches. At the end we 3D modeled one and attached it with magnets and rubber bands. Guess it was the best solution. 😅 Super happy with the result!
To create Yelan's blue bracelet we used our resin printer together with translucent resin! Once the print was done and wet sanded, I dyed the material with iDye Poly and got a nice blue shine! And as you can see, the glove is done as well! So happy this actually worked out! 😎
Here is how we made the details for my Yelan dress from Genshin Impact! 😌 I’m curious - when you see my cosplay making progress, what tool do you consider to be the most useful? A laser cutter or a 3D printer?

TWITCH: twitch.tv/kamuicosplaySelf-made Yelan dress is finished! 👗 #cosplay #genshinimpactKamuiCosplay2023-07-29 | Yelan’s dress is DONE! 🥰 Gosh, this part of the costume was such a fight! ! It has a super weird pattern, a crazy amount of details and it was incredibly difficult to build in a bra. Had one or two mental breakdowns in between, but I’m super proud of how it turned out! Cannot wait to finish the whole cosplay! I think it's gonna be good! ❤️

I would be really happy about a Monster Hunter World 2 announcement right about now! How about you? I only made 4 cosplays from the series including this light up LED Zinogre armor and I NEED MORE!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

After 8 days of printing the base for Yelan's bow, the Aqua Simulacra, is finally done! 💪 Now Benni has to spend a LOT of time sanding, glueing and painting! SO MUCH FUN YAY! 😁 Thanks to @blackmaskedfox for the 3D model! ❤️

TWITCH: twitch.tv/kamuicosplayTurning my selfmade pattern into a dress! 👗 #cosplay #sewingKamuiCosplay2023-07-26 | Finished the base of my dress for Yelan! The pattern was really challenging and complicated, but I didn’t cry at all (trust me)! The most headaches gave me the bra actually, but I’m now really happy with the solution! Now it’s finally time to add all the pretty details! REALLY looking forward to this! 🥰

Not every costume needs to be made by scratch! The outfit of the Gunslinger was mostly bought and altered heavily. The armor parts though were ripped from the game and are completely made out of EVA foam and some painting magic! And all those convincing leather belts are fake as well! Benni and I spent around one week on the whole costume and are really proud of the result! Plus, a hat just makes EVERY costume better!

When building cosplays we always try to use materials that are affordable and easily available! My Bone Armor helmet from Monster Hunter World is basically just EVA foam and some paint and hair on top. The rest is just some clever engineering and a lot of patience! Anyone can do cosplay! 💖

To get started with Yelan's really complicated dress, I had to make a pattern! Luckily, all a cosplayer needs for that is some plastic wrap and duct tape! 😁 The plan is to do the top part first and then attach the rest afterwards! Still not sure if I should do leggings or an actual bodysuit underneath though!
Genshin Impact designs are SUPER complicated! To get EVERY detail, Benni and his brother Blackmaskedfox modeled me a bunch of accessories in Blender! These were then printed out, sanded, primed and painted. Finally, I glued them on with my favorite fabric glue! We really need to count the amount of individual pieces once the costume is done! 😅
The jacket of my Yelan cosplay is finally done! 🥰 It’s an incredibly complicated costume piece that floats magically and has tons of details! All those parts were lasercut and 3D printed and I’m so happy how everything turned out! How do you like it? 👀
Styling wigs can be super challenging and I’m so happy to have supportive friends who help me! @krystlcosplay7433 did such an amazing job on my Yelan wig and it was super interesting to see her work in person! Really wish to learn this magic one day as well! Do you also struggle with wigs or are you a pro already? 🥰
In only 3 weeks I built the Merciless Blaster from Remnant II! I includes 250 LEDs, a functional trigger and sound effects! Super proud of it! Benni did as always and outstanding paint job and as so often it’s completely made out of EVA foam!

Yelan Make Up Test!!! 🌸 I invited @krystlcosplay7433 for some crafting fun to my workshop and she made me this absolutely amazing wig! I’m blown away how perfect it looks and I'm super happy with my make up as well! How do you like the look? (Krystl takes commissions as well so you know what to do 😉)!
The white base of my Yelan jacket it done! How do you like my fabric choices? Really want to make this costume super pretty! Super excited to add all the details now! 😤
My next project is Yelan from Genshin Impact! And every new costume needs patterns first! To create all shapes of the jacket I used non-stretchy cotton fabric and just draped all pieces slowly on my mannequin! How do you like the result? And which Genshin character would you like to cosplay? 😁
Benni 3D printed me a fake Revolver for my Remnant II cosplay! All parts were done in just one day and only had to be sanded and glued together. I used Flexbond to apply a metal texture and Benni painted everything with silver paint and airbrush colors. Looks incredibly convincing! 🤠

The paint job of my Merciless Blaster from Remnant II is finally done! We used here Flexbond as a primer and painted everything by hand with acrylics and oil paints! This part alone took surely over 20 hours of work, but it was all worth it! How do you like it??? 🥰

Finished the pauldron for my Gunslinger costume! It's all just EVA foam, even though it looks like you might need to get a tetanus shot! 😂 Remember to get vaccinated kids!

First island life fail! 😂 I was not able to find the right vinegar to rust my iron powder, so I had to use acrylics and fake it all! Still looks pretty convincing though, right? 👉👈

While Benni is busy painting my blaster, I already started building the armor for my Gunslinger cosplay! With the right patterns and some 5mm thick EVA foam, creating the breastplate only took a few hours! Can't wait to paint it!

FOAM CLAY! 😤 My favorite step of the whole creative process! Just by adding a lot of foam sausages my Merciless blaster from Remnant II almost looks like the real thing now! 👌

Update for my Merciless blaster from Remnant II! 😁 I thought a lot about how to make the glowing crystal heart in the middle and decided to go with Worbla Crystal Art pellets. They are super versatile and when heated up, they can be brought into pretty much any shape you want!

Just in time for my finished Diablo IV costume, Canon Germany sent us their amazing Canon EOS R5 full frame camera, together with a few fancy lenses! We immediately went into the nearby Fanal forest to try it out!

My next project is the Merciless blaster from Remnant II! 🔥 So far I finished the base, which is mostly just EVA foam and PVC pipes! I'm obviously making it light up as well, so I added almost 250 LEDs, a speaker and a trigger. Cannot wait to show you the next step! So excited for all the sculpting! 😁

After years of dreaming about it we finally left Germany for a new adventure! Our new home is Portugal and believe me, packing all my costumes, props, tools and materials was anything but easy! Would you dare to make such a huge step as well???
My Necromancer from Diablo IV is finally DONE! It took a little bit more than 2 weeks! I’m so happy Blizzard asked me to bring this awesome class to life!
Is it possible to create a full armor set + weapon in just 2 weeks? Blizzard asked me to bring the epic Necromancer from Diablo IV to life and I accept the challenge! This was a super insane project without much sleep, but I’m super proud of it! 😁

High speed crafting challenge with Diablo IV! Didn’t had much time and built my Necromancer Scythe in just 24 hours! But as you can see, you can do a lot with PVC pipes and EVA foam! 😁
Meet Wilson, the little skull we made for my Necromancer from Diablo IV! ☠️ All those little details are the reason I fell in love with this specific outfit! First Benni made a 3D model, printed it in ABS and then finished the print with a ton of putty and sanding! Some extra details, priming with Flexbond and acrylic gel, airbrush painting, weathering and he was done! Isn’t he super cute???
Slowly running out of time for my Diablo IV cosplay, so I built my Necromancer crown in only 3 hours! 🥵 I traced all shapes onto 2mm foam, covered it with Worbla and then primed it with Flexbond and acrylic gel. A layer of Rub'n'Buff did all the magic! Really happy with the wig as well! How do you like it? 😳
The lower part of my Diablo IV Necromancer Cosplay is complete! 😤 It’s actually a relatively "simple" costume but I love all the details. How do you like it? Really proud we’re able to get this done so fast! Can’t wait for the photoshoot very soon!

TWITCH: twitch.tv/kamuicosplayDIY Airbrush Spraybooth #diycraftsKamuiCosplay2023-05-27 | Here is a short video of how we made a cheap airbrush spray booth at home using an IKEA IVAR shelf, some wood, hot glue and a radial fan. Keep in mind that this is by no accounts a "professional" set up, just a way to blow the dust out when applying paint. 🎨
Here is how you can turn simple EVA foam into metal! I used a mix of Flexbond, artist gel, acrylic paint and Rub'n'Buff and absolutely love the result! NOT LONG UNTIL MY NECROMANCER IS DONE!
Time to create some shoulder armor for my Diablo IV Necormancer cosplay! 😎 Benni made me a basic 3D pattern in Blender and then I traced all shapes to EVA foam and sculpted the skull with foam cosplay. Priming with Flexbond, texture with acrylic gel and painting with acrylics and some Rub’n’Buff! Did it turn out creepy or cute??? ☠️
The Nergigante armor from Monster Hunter World is one of my favorite cosplays EVER! I made all templates from scratch just with duct tape and used simple eva foam and foam clay for all costume pieces! It took FOREVER to sculpt over 800 spikes! This costume was an incredible fun project and I LOVE how it turned out! 🦔❤️😃
