Making Lev’s knife from the Last of Us for my boyfriend. He left his at a convention, so I decided to make another for him!

Made out of eva foam, foam clay and a bamboo stick in the middle for stability/strength. Low-cost, using things I already had.

Started off by using a template to outline onto eva foam. As you can’t see the full knife and there aren’t many reference photos for it, I used the shape of the holster as a guideline and did the paint work based on aged knife refs.

I cut the template out, glued them together and cut out a section for the bamboo stick. Glued it all together again, waited for it to dry and used a dremel to sand down and shape. I then used foam clay to cover any imperfections and the lines from the layers of eva foam. After a bit more sanding with the dremel to get some details, I primed and sealed before painting, then sealed again once I’d weathered it.

As the Last of Us is a post-apocalyptic environment, I wanted it to look quite weathered, rusty and old and I’m really happy with the outcome!

Apocalyptic Stool - Work done during my work experience at Propworks/Lizzie Props.

The stool was sanded, wood stained and weathered by me. Then added fake grass with an acrylic wash for the moss with mushrooms made out of foam & painted by me also.

From concept and designs to the prop, made out of eva foam.

This project was based on a book that we read & had to create a production around. My influence was Osiris, and so I made their staff.

Bodysuit I sewed together and modified. Had to pattern this myself as the model didn't fit the pre-made patterns on hand.

We also sewed in wefts of hair for a fur suit, however, I do not have photos of this.
