Mouth of Sauron helmet drapesby *InKibus

Artisan Crafts / Costumery

Really, not a big tutorial.
Not much needs to be said.
I based the drapes arounf a concept drawing of Warren Mahey's.
They go down the front of your body, very preistly.
Weirdly, they tuck under his over apron, which nulls thier effect.

They are dark colored, but in spefici light and in the ROTK-EE documentaries, they almost look rusty red.
So I erred on the side of brown red.
They drape around you front horns, and can be stapled inside the helmet.
I made a back covering too.
I might have made a bit of a glitch, you might actually see a little of the Hlemt crown in the back with the drapes under it...

I embroidered and Eye on too.

Thanks!

I am almost done my tutorials, and really happy with the positive response.

Well, the helmet fits very snug, and my only complaint is inside the left inside is a bit lower, and will bruise my cheekbone if I wear it excessivly. And it weights several pounds, which makes yuo afraid to get your head swinging around to fast, especially how wide it is!
It's rather comfy otherwise, though it brings on a distinct sense of claustrophobia, since I am blind in it.

Think of it like a motor-cyle helemt that covers more of your face and has weight projected out in strange spots.But once you get used to holding your head up, it's not bad at all.

The actor who played the MoS in the movie remarked that similarly it was a very encompossing thing to wear, and was apparently a bit frightening to try and ride a horse while doing it.
