Lux Cosplay started working on a costume of Skull Kid from the Legend of Zelda franchise just a few short weeks ago. She was motivated to start the project because she found the perfect fabric and was motivated to finish it quickly in order to have it ready for a photo shoot. As you can tell from the above image, an epic photo session happened.
Lux says putting the basic outfit together (you can see it in the picture below) was relatively easy, but the build got more complicated. The replica of Majora’s Mask took ten hours. Lux made the basic shape from EVA foam. The spikes are expanded rubber, and the eyes are acrylic glass balls that she pained on the inside.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
