Fulgore (Killer Instinct)

[DasWiggles]

Howdy all, I'm trying to step up my game, I have cosplayed for years and always wanted to do Fulgore as I have never seen one done.

I have chatted with the group before, different cons around the Midwest and California and yall have always been supportive

Anyway, I'm not familiar with building armor, I'm leaning towards foam for price and comfort. I have access to 3D printing through a friend for anything specific or odd.

I have watched a few videos on beginner foam so I got a little bit of understanding of what I'm attempting.

All that said I had a few questions while I'm gathering supplies to start,

1) what/where would be a good place to look for a pattern to start from? I'm used to modifying patterns for simpler cosplays as I don't have much luck with free hand. Or am I overthinking this?

2) the gauntlets have a sorta ethereal blade, I had an idea of a Tesla effect under clear plastic but not sure how practical that would be, or if anyone had any ideas. Worst and simplest case, I just use simple blue plastic cut to shape

3)how do you approach the helmet? Would it be worth trying to 3D print it?

Thanks for letting me chat with y'all and I'm looking forward to working with ya

Killer Instinct. Now there's a game I haven't seen in a long, long time. Cinder and TJ Combo were always my main go to characters back on the SNES, but I can see the appeal in making Fulgore come to life. I did some digging and found some 3D files from the 2013 version, but I can't find the specific armor scheme you have shown in the photo. There are a couple pieces off of them that look similar enough though to give you a good base to start with. I attached a little gif that was provided with the set so you can see.

Unfortunately, even compressed the files are too big to share over the 405th forums. If you want to shoot me a private message here on the forums with an e-mail address I can get them sent over to you, or maybe toss them in a Google Drive so you can grab them. Anything I can do to help see this 500lb cyborg man thing cosplay come to life lol.

You are a godsend Benton, I'll definitely hit you up about that. I'm not sure how the files you found look but it's the "Retro" costume for Fulgore

I recognize the set you have, it is a offshoot of the Retro costume so the main components are identical, minus the wrist blades and helmet but it's definitely a start
