The Winner of the 16th Annual Arnold Halloween Contest!

Thanks everyone for sending us your submissions for our 16th annual costume contest but there could only be one lucky Arnold fan to take home all the loot! Congratulations to Leena "Ravenlordess” Muurikainen as Thulsa Doom! The Terminator is always the number one Halloween costume entered in our contest but this year it was the barbarian submissions who really stole the show. There are a couple of fantastic Conan outfits here but this time, the villain wins! All hail Tulsa Doom!    

 

Leena wrote to TheArnoldFans:

"Thulsa Doom is a fascinating antagonist. Upon seeing him again when watching Conan the Barbarian in 2014 I was struck by a strong need to create this costume, both because of the character and as a tribute to Arnold’s movies. I crafted the costume over 6 months, however that time period also included long breaks from crafting. The most difficult thing was getting and making sense of reference pictures – there’s many parts in the outfit that you can’t really see or only get a very rough idea of in the movie. For that reason some parts such as the boots had to be improvised. The armor was built out of the thermoplastic material Worbla and painted with acrylic paints. There’s also several types of leather, faux fur and faux suede in the costume. Many areas were stitched by hand to make the costume look more authentic. The most tedious part to craft were the pants and the shirt: despite countless hours of searching, I was unable to find remotely suitable fabrics and ended up drawing the scales one by one with fabric markers."
