Helping Elmo out

[SSGLordBert]

Here’s some updates on work Erne and I are doing for Elmo. Marked areas with colored squiggles are possible color choices we are going to paint. The chest will also have a copper colored tree stenciled on the front. Any ideas to help make it pop?

Got a lot done on Elmo’s armor. The chest is completely done now. Magnets hold the chest piece in place while wearing, but I put elastic strapping on the outside for cosmetic effect. Which just also hold it in place. I used a oak tree silhouette on sticker printer paper to stencil the tree on over the copper then painted around it. Took the sticker paper back off at the end… and the results came out better than I’d hoped.

Found the grenades on thingyverse. But I hollowed them out for small storage if needed (plus less filament to print with. Lol). And they are in elastic rings that were hot glued to the chest. Grenades are removable too.

Was going for a titan knight esthetic from Elmo’s destiny 2 titan. He wanted it referenced off of his character. He gave me the colors and I went from there.

The complete set won’t be done in time for c2e2. But it’s come a long way.

Got Elmo’s helmet done. Played around with stippling the colors on the top of the helm to make the area look less vacant. The added the gold accent strips to go with the grenades from the chest.

Also got his left should piece done.

Wow that looks good. How did you get the big stencil to sooo nicely fit around the edges?

Instead of doing one huge stencil, I split it in half where the branches split out. So I could fold the branches nice and neat around edges.
