Spiritborn from video game Diablo IV
This character was created using various techniques. The entire back piece is made of EVA foam, including all the bones. The ones that protrude from the back are attached with PVC tubes.
The skull is modeled with foam clay. The feathers on the head are made of EVA foam with wire inside. The base of the head, the horns, the skull, and all the other details are made of rubber. The skull on the necklace is modeled with foam clay.
The top, skirt, and belts are made of EVA foam covered with faux leather. The feathers on the skirt are made of felt. The two hanging heads are made of Worbla with foam clay and a polystyrene ball inside. The small hanging skull is also made of Worbla. The eyes are also made of foam clay. The potions are Christmas tree balls modified with dyed resin inside.
To make the arms, I first modeled torn skin texture with monster clay, made a mold, and transferred it to latex. Then I glued it to a glove. The fingers are made of sponge with latex.
The skulls on the knees are also made of latex, previously modeled with monster clay. The armor on the legs and feet is made of EVA foam, and the toes are made of latex glued to a sock.
The straps on the arms and legs are made of the same faux leather as the rest of the cosplay. Everything is painted with acrylic paint, touches of alcohol-based inks, some details with gold leaf, and esparto and leather ropes.

Re: Mold question for latex mask
Also think about how the latex will dwell when the mold is upside down. You may find areas like the horns on the tip of his chin and the incisors will trap air, so be mindful of that.
I've mostly worked with one-piece stone molds for latex, so I can't help too much there!

For the pig face, several parts of 3D models were selected to get a good balance of human and pig features. A rough template of my face was also created to ensure a proper fit on the understructure.
The 3D model parts were unfolded in pepakura designer and built with paper. Once put together, layers of papier mache were done to strengthen the mask. Using a mix of PVA glue and cotton wool, sculpting was done to make all features accurate to the character and get a realistic fleshy texture.
The painting was done in layers, using a mixture of spray paint and translucent paint created by mixing glue with food coloring.
Straps were attached with epoxy.
The sunglasses were made from seasoning shakers' lids. Holes for the lenses were cut and period accurate tinted plastic sheets were glued on. Wire was run through the length of the glasses to make the nose bridge and strengthen the form. Epoxy resin was poured inside the glasses to secure everything together. Resin was coated on the outside after painting to ensure a glossy sheen.
The pilot goggles were patterned in pepakura and built with layers of masking tape sandwiched between even more layers of PVA. The appropriate lenses were attached and resin poured on them.

For the swimsuit top, a blue cotton shirt was desleeved and modified to have the appropriate shape and proportions. Stripes were added by sewing strips of white fabric on the shirt.
The yellow bottoms were patterned by hand and sewn using yellow fabric. The shorts were then soaked in different washes of paint to emulate the staining due to Porco working on his plane. The front of the shorts were waxed to further give the look of buildup of oils.
The aviator cap was patterned referencing period accurate caps. It was sewn using a felt-like fabric, then modifications were done to account for the pig features.
The scarf was constructed from a large sheet of soft white material which was lined then ironed appropriately.

Necromancer from video game Diablo IV
To make this character's armor, I used low-density EVA foam. All the details of the small bones are modeled one by one with foam clay. The shoulder bones are made with several sheets of EVA foam glued together and then sculpted with a cutter and rotary tool. The armor is attached to the body with sewn and glued Velcro. The belts are made of EVA foam covered with faux leather. The red fabric is linen, worn and stained with paint and burns. The lighter details are made with bleach. In some areas, such as the shoulder pads and helmet, the fabric is glued with white glue. The armor has texture to give it a rougher look, made with texture paste and painted with acrylic paint. The star of this cosplay is undoubtedly the torso. This piece is modeled entirely by hand with monster clay on a mannequin. Then I made a plaster mold in two parts. Next, I poured latex into the two molds. Once I had the two latex parts, I glued them to my body with more latex over a Lycra T-shirt. I made a cut on one side to put zippers in so I could put it on easily. The torso is painted with latex mixed with acrylic paint and alcohol-based inks. I made the heart separately because I wanted it to be detachable from the torso. It is made in the same way as the torso, modeled by hand with monster clay, and then with latex, but with the difference that it is filled with polyurethane foam to make it soft.
