And so ends the ‘Blue Girl’ comic. I really loved Mass Effect – definitely one of the best games out there, with fantastic music and a rich storyline. Making the costume was a great experience (though I don’t know when I’m going to wear it next!). I think I managed to pull off a pretty convincing Liara T’Soni. Hopefully this “mini comic tutorial” gave you a idea of how (slush) latex masks are made. If you want to read the comic in its entirety, just click here. Try making a latex mask yourself, it’s fun, easy and cheap! Well, maybe not those last two things. And sometimes not the first thing.

Video Games Live was fun. I wish they had played Mass Effect and done a few things differently, but overall it was a great experience. If they come back to Vancouver, I think I’ll go again (but not as Liara T’Soni).

Tomorrow, the conclusion!

Painting T’Soni’s head was an interesting experience, as I had never worked on latex before. Just like everything else, do some tests and miniatures; we did and it really payed off.

The worst incident that occurred during the construction of the headpiece.

This was the step I was the most nervous about.

Not too shabby.

A short page, because I really don’t know how to explain sculpting since I can’t really sculpt and probably did it all wrong.
