After having a great time doing it last year, I decided to go as Smiski again this year at New York Comic Con. My group went as various ice cream man versions of characters, including Ice Cream Man Spiderman and Ash Ketchum, and of course me, as Ice Cream Man Smiski. If you heard the Mr. Softee theme while walking the show floor, that was us!
The mask was done using a plain base sphere pattern I got off Etsy, and constructed using EVA foam. I then added the eyes, nose, and mouth details.
I built an ice cream tray out of cardboard, then I 3D modelled and printed some custom Smiski Popsicles. I printed big ones for display, as shown in the first two pictures, and then did mini ones that glow-in-the-dark as giveaways for people who asked for pictures. I even 3D printed a few secrets, based on the Lucky Cat Smiski!
What do you think of my costume? For those who attended, did you take a picture with me? I would love to see if so!
Would you want your own Smiski popsicle? If you're interested please check my profile to follow my Instagram for updates, as based on the incredible reaction from the people I gave the popsicles to, I'm going to be selling them in the future, along with ither Smiski related accessories.
