Try a Prosthetic Nose for Cosplay or LARP

The Orc Prosthetic Nose

I have recently begun creating silicone prosthetic noses, and it’s been a lot of fun sculpting my first two projects.  The orc nose is my first completed silicone prosthetic nose and I’m so happy with the results.  I created this original design based on a long history of varying orc styles and incorporated some anatomical design from a wide range of primates. The nose will fit a wide range of cosplayers and because its made of silicone it will afford a wide range of facial motion while remaining quite comfortable.

Full Mask vs Prosthetics

Using multi-piece prosthetics gives the cosplayer/LARPer a much more comfortable alternative to wearing a full mask.  That can make an all day event much more enjoyable.  It can be cast in any custom color as well as our five stock skin-tones. Customers can pair the prosthetic nose with our orc ears and their make-up to create an orc look all their own.  A full silicone face mask can get a bit heavy especially if worn all day and even though silicone masks can be expressive they can’t beat multi-piece prosthetics for mobility of facial features.

Expanding Silicone Prosthetic Appliances

I plan on expanding my selection of silicone appliances to include more prosthetic noses as well as chins and other facial components.  The goal is to provide affordable high quality component pieces.  This will give cospl

ayers the ability to mix and match pieces to incorporate into their own costume creations.  Allowing LARPers and cosplayers to achieve a level of realism currently not available to the average costumer.

Latest Work in Progress: The Wicked Witch of The West Prosthetic Nose

I began a sculpt of the Wizard of Oz wicked witches’s nose. I finished the rough sculpt and should finish the finer details and texturing on Thursday’s Twitch stream. This sculpt was done on the scale of a man’s nose, while it should fit most people I will also do a women’s scaled version.  I also plan on following up this project with a wicked witch chin prosthetic to complete the set.  I’ll update this post as the project progresses.
