His unique look, including his bright red sleeves, has become iconic and has left many fans wondering: is there a name for Ashitaka’s sleeves in Mononoke? During a battle with a demon from the nearby forest, a demon kills the demon while he is still alive, but he gains a demonic wound that slowly kills him. I’ve never used a sewing machine in my life, and I’ve certainly never made my own patterns, but, for Ashitaka, I’m needed to do both!

It will wash right off with soap and water though, so there was a lot of doing things with only one hand! Once it was dry from my sanding, I sprayed another coat and repeated the process about seven or eight times. This vest includes an outside layer of faux suede as well as lines with leftover faux sherpa fur from my shoes.
I then cut them down to the appropriate length, and wrapped the center with some foam to simulate a leather wrapped handle. I used a standard five-minute epoxy to glue the hilt pieces to the tongue of my blade and to each other.

The first con I attended wore Ashitaka and taught me a few things: how to outfit a cosplay and how to fix it. This stuff is like magic–you spray it on, and not only does it prime your piece, but it actually fills in small gaps. The strap is permanently attached at the top loop and by wrapping the strap around the bottom of the backing rod, it quickly converts to a back quiver. After I’d cooked the clay, I then took several sizes of X-Acto knives and carved it to make it look like it was actually chipped out of crystal. After being cursed, Ashitaka embarks on a quest to find a cure and to discover the source of the power.I was pretty happy with the staying power of this stuff even being under my clothes and on my hand, which obviously gets a lot of use. By naming your name with a balanced combination of positive and negative aspects, you can discover your purpose and make it a reality. Princess Mononoke’s protagonist is a seventeen-year-old boy, Ashitaka, who is determined to do his best to achieve justice. After pinning the muslin to my feet, I made some changes to the pattern and awaited the arrival of my materials to attempt actually making them. In addition to using a faux suede for the outside layer, I also used some leftover faux sherpa fur from my shoes to line the inside of the quiver.

If you want to know more about how I made the arrowheads, they were my first foray into mold making and casting so I wrote an entire article just on that. Depending on your piece and desired finish you may not need to be as obsessive about it as I was, but I learned you can never sand too much from my buddy Eric Jones at CoreGeek Creations (seriously, he loves to sand).I apologize for not having any work-in-progress pictures but I essentially took a square of leftover fabric, hemmed all the edges into an octagon shape, made a couple of buttonholes to reinforce where the rope would feed through and hang, fed a length of red hemp rope through the holes, and then glued on a wooden bead. Using a heat gun on scored foam will cause the lines to pop, which, in this case, gave it that split feather look along the top. Ashitaka’s bow is the same height he is, so I bought two dowels and stuck them together with a threaded bolt. I then wanted to give the sheath a real leather look instead of just painting directly onto the PVC. The trickiest thing about Ashitaka’s quiver is that it goes from hip quiver to back quiver throughout the movie, but how it’s rendered and held on in each of those positions is fairly inconsistent.

I designed the hilt so that the blade would actually slide inside the hilt and then get epoxied together, so I really wasn’t worried about it breaking.Ashitaka’s shoes were finished with a few scratches and a few more details, but not until the soles were added.
