Studio Ghibli-Spirited Away No Face Cosplay (Bath tokens prop)

Alice Haruka 2 Comments

BathTags

Now, most of us has seen at least one Studio Ghibli movie and one of my favorites is “Spirited Away”. And, one of my favorite characters is No Face. No face is a spirit that becomes infatuated with the main character Chihiro and as he follows her around the bath house he starts offering her Bath tokens as a ‘Thank you’ and nice gesture toward her, which I find very sweet (I mean who could say no to that face *pun intended*). So because No face is my favorite character I shall be cosplaying a Human version of No face this year at Animazement 2015. And for a prop for No Face I’ll be making the bath tokens, which I will also show you how to make it below.

First things first, you’ll need materials:

  • Air dry Clay (this can also be substituted with Polymer clay)
  • All Purpose Acrylic Paint
  • Mod Podge (You don’t need this but it helps give your tokens a shine)
  • 2 brushes
  • Sculpting tools
  • For Polymer Clay:
  • Colors:  Red, Black and Yellow

Hai! Hai! My name is Alice Haruka also known as Luna Star to some of my friends and on other social media sites. I’ve been cosplaying for about two years and have known about cosplay for seven years.Why did I start cosplaying just recently?Well that’s because in the past I didn’t really think cosplay was something I could do myself till I discovered a local convention called Animazement that happens every year. I was already into Anime and Manga and I had my waifu, and husbando’s lined up that I loved so much. I always thought if I could be them for just an hour or at least meet them just once then I could “die happy”. And when I went to my first convention I realized I wasn’t the only one who thought this way (YAY! New friends >//.//<). And this led me to researching Cosplay deeper and led me to watching cosplay music videos on YouTube (I literally spent hours nonstop watching when I first started watching). The videos Inspired me to actually show people what I could do (I was already creating my own cosplays but I just wasn’t showcasing them) but I like to become my own favorite characters. Now, on a day to day basis I’m always creating something for a cosplay I’m doing or one that I know I would like to work toward in the future. The cosplays I’ve done so far is Harley Quinn, and Juliet from the movie “Gnomeo and Juliet” and right now for 2015 I’m working on three new cosplays for Animazement 2015. My  four cosplays will be Inori from ‘Guilty Crown’, Sheryl Nome in her Diamond Creavasse dress from ‘Macross Frontier’, the female version of Howl from ‘Howls Moving Castle ‘, and a human version of No Face from ‘Spirited away’ . I’m very excited to bring all of these cosplays to different conventions this 2015. On the side of doing cosplays I usually make a lot of items that are inspired from different Anime’s and Manga’s and also doing cosplay accessories that you can wear even in everyday life. Another thing I love doing that cosplay has inspired me to work with is makeup. I love doing transformations into another character to the point it hard for me and others to recognize myself. So far I’v done many Male Transformations and also make up tests for the character NaNa from the anime and manga ‘Nana’ and Cheshire cat makeup from Alice in wonderland. I’m still in the learning process when it comes to Cosplaying but I am pretty advanced when it comes to using different materials and I would like to pass on my knowledge to others. So, yeah that’s about me and I hope I can help you as much as I can. Remember, Stay Positive, Stay Healthy and Stay Creative

Miccostumes Weekly Summary Feb.2nd-6th.2015

sado44

First what I wanna say is, because Chinese New Year is coming, staff of Miccostumes.com will be on holiday during Feb.16th~24th , and our factory will not get back to work until the end of Feburary,  I suggest that if you hope to get any cosplay in March, you’d better place orders the sooner the better, especially if there are any cosplay shoes or weapons in your order. I also recommend customers to buy regular size costumes, not custom made, which will save some processing time 🙂

OK, this week we finished the detail plan about new cosplay in March, there will be 40+ more new costumes including Akame ga KILL, ONE PIECE, Free!, Vocaloid, Frozen, and also new versions of some hot sales costumes like Zelda Link. We have set up higher standard for our costumes, models, photographers and plan to add more videos about our costumes to help customers get more details about them.

And also we built our cosplay school in our shop, cosplayers can find tons of cosplay tutorials to get inspired, we hope customers who buy cosplay from our shop will also get some tips to learn.

Lastly, don’t forget to check our new cosplay costumes in Feb, all of them will be lauched next week, I think if you are looking for new cosplay to attend Cons in March, you can try the  sword art online season 2 and RWBY season 2 Cosplay.
