How to Make League of Legends Blood Moon Akali Mask For Cosplay

“Honor is the blade’s edge” , while we are not talking about blades today, what we focus on is the cosplay mask for  the Fist of Shadow Blood Moon Akali.

Main materials:

  1. 5mm and 10mm thick EVA sheets,
  2. Latex
  3. White, red and lake blue propylene
  4. Red ribbon
  5. Tissue

Firstly, get your measurements right and outline an ellipse of the face shape on a 5mm

thick EVA sheet. Cut it and we got a basic pattern.

Then, at the four corners, cut off a small triangle piece separately, and try to stand the mask to check out the  expected shape. If need, cut small slice of EVA off too at the two sides.

When done with that, glue the edges together and attach 4 horns as pictured.Akali a Read More
