Autodesk Instructables has a course on Arduino Animatronics specifically for costumes and cosplay. As far as I can tell it is free and walks you through all the steps. I hope that helps.
I also had a thought that memory wire could help with returning the ear to its default position after you pull it forward, removing the need for a string to achieve that. I hope that helps?
okay on tiktok you have to do the sam and cat eyebrow sound where the eyebrows get waxed and you need to do the one with alastor and husk where husk says "big talk for someone also on a leesh" like omg i cant wait
what if you tried attaching the strings to your fingers
OMG, we have the same name 😂❤
Love you're outfit ❤
''trying stuff until it works or until I cry'' my new fav quote 😂😭
It's the motto of cosplayers around the world
i have been wanting to make moving ears for cosplays for YEARS! now there is a youtuber i actually like that makes them!
EXACTLY
I believe that some years ago, I saw a show on doing things like the ears - probably by the Henson Workshop people? - and something they used was plastic tubing to run the strings through - much like the tubing used on bicycles for the brake / shifting cables. The tubing was then bundled underneath the costume to go to the various area it was needed. Also, back when, they used servos with simple on/off switches, because programmable servos weren't quite available to them yet. The servos could push a rod or pull a wire.
It's called bowden tube! It's still used for puppets and animatronics all the time 👍 actual bike cables can be used too.
@@questionstar Thank you so much! I keeptrying to find the name of them!
My cat can't stop staring at the screen, I think she loves it❤❤❤
100% true fact. turn off audio and you will still understand how cool and passionate she is. that is amazing
Well I appreciate the heck out of that thank you!
@@MissTwisteddd i... YOURE WELCOME
Having seen a few of her cosplays in the flesh, the passion shows in the final results too 😊
the amount of fucking dedication this person puits into their cosplays is insane gg
Wait until you see them IRL. details just don't come up on YT unfortunately
I know you said that you might ditch the marionette handles, however, I have a suggestion to "disguise" them. Since Husk is a gambler, it would make sense that he might have some playing cards on him. So you could maybe attach some playing cards to the ends of the handles to make them look like they're levitating by the hands, like you're using magic, and you can still operate the ears as intended. It'll look like you're moving your hands to make the cards levitate while also "hiding" the handles that control the ears.
That's actually a brilliant idea! Might be a good solution for now, and I can always muck around a bit more with servos at a later stage!
@@MissTwisteddd Glad you think so! And oooh, servos might be cool.
This channel has been added to my “Watch if you need cosplay motivation/inspiration list”. I can tell you really love want you do and you come up with very creative solutions to problems and given me so many ideas for future cosplays!!
Well thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it and hope they give you some ideas! (I'm also hoping other people are able to improve on these ideas as some of mine need a lot of refining!)
The more I watch your videos the crazier I think you are, and I love it! The urge to poke at my head piece to see how you do harpy ear feathers constantly fights with my absolute love of it and fear to hurt it.
I have ideas and they concern me.
Haha they're relatively sturdy so as long as you're not throwing it across the room it should be okay! But I also plan to have a video coming out in August about how I make the Harpy Headpieces in detail, so hopefully that will help!
Invisible/magicians thread (some are called kevlar thread) would be perfect for your puppetry! x3
You could attach them to different points on your elbows too for some subtle hands free movement.
Moving parts in cosplays def the best

For the eyebrows I actually have a tip for this.
I play a character with feather eyebrows for LARP and what I do is cut out a patch of leather (because it is relatively rigid but still flexible and close to my skin-tone undyed. You could always dye it darker or buy a lighter shade, but ideally it will all be hidden by the feathers anyways) that is a bit bigger than my eyebrows and curved in the same shape. (sort of a large bean shape). I wet the leather and let it dry over a curved surface to get it to maintain the curved shape of my brows better. Then I contact cement on feathers to the front of the leather and attach them with spirit gum applied above my actual eyebrows. As long as the feathers are large enough/you have enough to completely cover the base it is pretty invisible and they stand up to being taken on and off without risking the feathers. You may still pull out some of the invisible little hairs above the eyebrow, but none of the ones you can see.
These usually stay on for a whole day of running around and they move with my actual eyebrows, so you can make fun exaggerated facial expressions with them. One pair lasted me a year of games ~2 times a month for multiple days of camping each event (just removing them to sleep and re-applying in the morning)
Thanks for putting me and my friend's art in the background! 💜🖤❤️
I was hoping you guys would see this and recognise it! I was so happy to recieve it, thanks again!
@@MissTwisteddd other friend here! Thank you very VERY much for loving our work so much and putting it were everyone with a keen eye can see 💙🙏😊 also just subscribed as I found your channel heh
That ear movement actually looks a lot better than I thought. Really like how you made it! Also, didn't realize you made it all on a wig, as one piece. I thought you had a wig, a 'diadem' with the ears and a hat, all separate. As one piece, you can actually use the hat for some electronics and batteries (when you get to that point ;) ) Really would have loved to help you out, if you weren't on the other side of the world XD
Maybe an idea for hiding the fishing lined: can you thread the lines through a thin tube, and have them come out near your pockets for example? You could hide the tubes in your clothes, and have the crosses near your pockets.
If you ever have any questions, or there's some way I could help you to learn a bit about electronics, don't hesitate to send me a message ;) I can't help financially, but I still like to help. I LOVE your designs!
It's going to be aaaages before I have time to sit down and wrap my head around electronics but I definitely want to eventually! SO thank yuou!
Should look into things like the dragon shoulder puppets that use bowden cables. It's the same thing used in bike break lines. I plan on trying it out in a future costume for movements.
"Trying stuff until it works or until i cry" my new favorite quote
I love your cosplays! They look so alive and animated with the moving parts :)
Re: movable parts, I used really small rolling bearing wheels, they were about marble sized ball bearings in a socket that goes over the bearing a tiny bit over half of it so it stays in place but they are great for moving in any direction. If you want to restrict the movement you can use drop of glue or resin (if it’s non-metal) or even just a blob of soldering on the points of the ball bearing you want it to stop at. 😸
I appreciate the little "respirator on and window open!" frame so much.
There are shoulder puppets that use bike brake cables for controls. Those might be a good start for better 2 axis movements.
As somebody with an electronics background, learning to use servos is relatively easy to get the hang of, and will open up a world of opportunities. You could also look at Pan-Tilt platforms that have two small servos in them that would give you the same range of movement as the castor wheels, but give you full electronic control of them.
Do you have suggestions? because I am striking out on the normal sites I look at for random electronics...I'd love to do this and have glove with programmed buttons.
Your skill in acting, creating, detailing and being ingenious is incredible! Your cosplays ate sooo accurate! And I love your original ideas as well; owl chemist. The mannerisms! Soo real!
@MissTwisteddd - Fantastic Husker cosplay! I know you have the ability to make the ears do what you want with some programming and some discrete buttons on your wrists to make the ears do what you want them to do!
Yay! I've got shorts blocked (for what remains of my own sanity) so I generally only get to see your full length stuff. Love it all to absolute death.
*relaxes into the chair for a fun watch*
Honestly fair enough I much prefer long form videos! I hope you enjoy this one!
@@MissTwisteddd Absolutely. I'm in your recap and it's just SO crisp. Cosplay crafting is super far away from anything I'd ever do.
But workshop problem solving? Oh yeah.

Super awesome Husk cosplay. The ears are a incredible feat of puppetering.
Also, with the current styling of the wig you used, black hair suits you really well.
Depending on how much movement you want to keep for your head and your shoulders, you could use the suspenders to hide the strings. Let the strings come down near your (real) ears, to the upmost part of the suspenders. A small metal ring stitched to them can function as a guide. Each pair of strings runs to the lower part of the suspenders as a loop, turning in an additional metal ring.
Halfway, there is a final ring on each of the string pairs, which can pull them up and down. Place both of them on a slightly different height and use a diameter that you can easily put your fingers through.
Now, with your thumb and another finger, you can move the rings separately up and down from each other. The reason for the different height of the rings is to prevent your fingers from crossing each other in some cases, which could mess up with the strings. Because of the loop, you can pull on all four strings with only two fingers. If you use black rings, they should be relatively inconspicuous.
Bonus points for a simple way to detach the strings from the suspenders. Maybe if the rings on your shoulder have the biggest diameter. This way, if the rings on the lower end are detachable, you could easily separate wig/strings and the suspenders from each others.
i have literally binged watched your videos all evening, moved on to a few others and then suddenly saw a brand new video from you in my recommended hahaha
Aaw well I appreciate you checking them all out and glad you're enjoying them!
I've seen some amazing diy puppetry done using bicycle brake lines. The wire in the line is stiff that you can twist it and have it manipulate the swivel, then pull or squeeze the line to tug on the wheel part of the ears base, giving you full range of motion in one wire per ear! Look into shoulder pet puppets to see what I mean.
Love your work! ❤
Might I suggest the system that is used in shoulder puppet dragons you find at ren faires to move their heads? It's a single line of control in the tubing and you pull it for up down motion, and twist it for side to side. It's designed to be threaded under clothing and easily hidden too.
This looks so awesome ;;!!
I've dabbled into electronics (only LEDs for now) for the first time in the last year and while the process was quite hard it was such a satisfying end product!! Can totally recommend :')
Those ears are geniuses! And that cosplay is amazing! I never would have thought of a mini swivel wheel! Your craftsmanship and ability to adapt is beyond extraordinary ❤❤❤
holy crap those ears are INCREDIBLE. i'll forever be amazed at how resourceful and ingenious you cosplayers are
Jesus Christ, those are SO amazing!! I'm always blown away by your stuff! Really really impressive! Also "I try things til they work or I cry" is my entire cosplay mood 😅
Came for the cosplay, stayed for the puppetry...oh, who am I kidding, everything was fascinating to watch. Amazing work!
I adore this, it looks so incredible and you look so pleased when you see the movement 🥹
Wax and parchment papers are two separate things, for anyone curious. Wax is parchment paper that has been treated with actual wax, and should never be used for baking at all. It's a storage paper. For the fridge or freezer. Parchment is oven safe, up to a point.
some thing that has helped me with prosthetics and eye brows is to take a glue stick and go over your eye brows first- stick with me for a second- apply your prosthetics and now here is the important bit: When you remove prosthetic, peel it off and STOP. DO NOT try to peel away the glue stick eye brows. Instead put on some small diving goggles so that your eye brows are accessible and wash away the glue using warm soapy water ( like an unscented hand soap) and a bit of olive oil. The oil will help to loosen up the glue and washing away the glue will help save your eye brows and the glue stick will help prevent your eye brows tearing when you remove the prosthetic.
no idea if this would work, never done cosplay or costume design, but an idea I had for mounting the tail to the waist is instead of fishing line, use something that has some mild elasticity to it, devise some sort of method to shorten and lengthen it at will allowing you to have it more taut or slack allowing for POSSIBLY more expressive secondary motion, always love these uploads, I am beyond happy you do long form videos rather than just short form, I PRAY this channel gets more attention cause it deserves it
16:00
~ me who doesn’t have eyebrows ~
Also I absolutely adore your cosplays and you were one of the people who got me back into it (16 now, quit for about three ish years and I’ve slowly gotten back into it the last year or so)! Your work is absolutely incredible and I look forward to seeing more of it!
LOVE THIS. FABULOUS and at the same time filled with heart-felt joy that really glosses over any "flaw". I always knew I wouldn't resist trying to cosplay Husk but I was feeling a bit overwhelmed in advance for many parts of this.... so I was about to give up buuuut seeing all the passion here... it re-hyped me and absolutely re-ignited my wish to experiment ideas on how to build some of the parts.... your work is so fantastic and so inspiring, thank you for simply sharing it for the love of the cosplay community
The ears were amazing!!! Seriously! The whole cosplay is!
However, I'm excited about the gloves! Those turned out so well, and they're more in my wheelhouse skill-wise. I've gone as a black cat for Halloween several times, and those would be a fun addition. 😊
I already made mention of this having viewed progressions of Hazbin wings creations, but it really is your individual character that draws a varied audience. I enjoy following the processes of how you put an idea together that eventually leads to a possibly finished result & yet even then, it's just a learning curve as you stated towards the end of this project as to how you could combine say the electronics of those other ears you showed with something of your own concocted design & one day similar to the scene from Paycheck you would probably have a side by side comparison of what you achieved here with a far superior one as you beam a smile of success. Good luck with what you continue to strive toward!
Honestly I'm really glad, and I hope that is what keeps bringing people back, as this will be the last Hazbin video for a while so I hope people will stick around for different concepts I want to play with too!
the ears are GENIUSSSSS it turned out so amazing!
This looks sick!!! The ear movement is fabulous, and im a huge fan of all your work and cosplays
Trying stuff until it works or until I cry is the best crafting rule I adore that
20:27 A "Precision Pin Vice" is the tool that can easily make a hole in that space. It's used primely in jewelry and miniature sculptures.
This is an amazing cosplay Charlotte, and I think it goes without saying that there was a lot of unique ideas, time, and dedication that went into this project, absolutely stunning!
🎉❤🖤❤🎉
As for some advice/tips for the puppet strings to control the ears: I think if you used black thread it would have less of a shine then the fishing line and actually be less obvious, especially when alot of the cosplay (wig, and vest) are already black.
To "simplify" the usable mechanics for the ears you might make some "preset" positions that only happen when you pose a certain way. For example "angry full swivel back" position might be accompanied with a crouch, or an "I'm going to claw your eyes out" hand movement that could pull on a string attached to your wrist, or even your leg somehow, while you could still have a two string set up for more subtle back and forth movement. It might limit some range of movement, but it might be a little easier to control "everything" if some movement is only for specific positions.
Another great video Charlotte. you might try incorporating the cross hatches in to the suspenders them self somehow. that way it might look like husk is fidgeting with his suspenders wile you'er moving the ears, food for thought.
i remember you teasing this in the last video! so cool to see it come into fruition!!
One thing you could for the ear control is add some electronics in the mix. Some mini servos controlled by a microcontroller attached with a joystick or something would give you some really precise control. The cosplay looks amazing regardless!
This is so timely, as I'm starting a new project with the hope of moving ears. Thanks for the fine reference! You've done a stellar job with this Husk cosplay :D
Cat ears only really rotate. I think a really simple rotating design with a small rod in the front edge would work well. It'd allow for control from a small controller built into the palm and a wire running down the arm. You could even break it into the 2 separate ears for each hand for more expression. :)
I use the same paper trick when I sew pleather on my sewing machine - except I use baking paper because it's even thinner and tears away even easier than just random scrap paper!
Absolutely wonderful, gorgeous cosplay! I wonder if having little springs to pull the ears back into their 'default' pose, upright, I'd imagine, would help? it would cut down on the number of strings you'd have to use, at least.
Hey there, if you ever decide to "sock up" a tail again try out this, a thin covering of plastic on the core of the tail. Think like a dry cleaning bag cut so you can wrap the core to slide in, then pull the plastic out leaving the core behind. It's.ore or less the same way automotive seats are upholstered. Bag pulled over the foam. Material pulled over the plastic so the foam doesn't 'grab' and tear or lump in areas. Even better is its a long thin bag enough that you can connect the open end to a vacuum, squeeze it down release the vacuum and your tail sheath is filled without much fuss.
Good thinkin! Thank you!
Making the fingers to where you can use your phone quickly is impressive forethought!
Okay but like- I found your tiktok in the lil ”William Afton era” and was OBSESSED- Now only some weeks ago, I found your youtube (dont ask why i was so late) and omg this is so addicting to watch- 😭❤️
I think you might be confusing me with @slightlyvillianous who definitely had done some incredible William Afton content! I haven't done anything like that though!
I’m not sure how feasible this would be for all cosplays but i think there’s definitely some way to link the fishing wire to the eyebrows more. so that way when you furrow your brow, you also pull your ears back!
These ears are genuinely so cool!!! i love the marionette bit of puppetry magic to make them move too. As for the wearing of it all day I have a few ideas 1. obviously you said that you want something a little nicer that the sticks, maybe it it were a little smaller you could put pockets on the back shoulder blades so you could have a friend put them into it to tuck them away when you arent actively using the ears. 2. another idea is maybe make the fishing line ends be able to dettach and reattach to the cross sticks in some way like magnets buttons etc then you just take the strings off the cross and tuck them away, each stick end and attachment line could be color coded to make it easy to put back together in the right way. 3. get rid of the cross and put attach the strings into loops and then maybe 2 rings or a ring and a bracelet to be able to animate the ears, you could also just have to loops and see of there is enough stability that if you move it the ears stay.
There are so many different ways you could go about it and fiddle with them to get them working well, good luck and I'm sure you'll figure out a cool way!
Those ears are an absolute dream, even with the visible strings.
You might give Radula Castion a watch for some puppeting ideas-- I think they attach their strings to rings they wear on their fingers, which are hidden beneath their clothes. Dunno how that would work on something that's not a fursuit head, but you might get some inspiration regardless.
Also, servos are LOUD. Unless they've started making extra quiet servos, or you don't mind the noise, I'd steer clear for the time being.
This looks so good honestly!!! Something I've seen fursuiters do is make the ears flobby by having a rather loose point of attachment and some weight up the points, so the ears can get some momentum and move with head movements.
This is the best Husker cosplay I've seen.
I definitely think learning to program servos would he 100% the best thing for this. Then they can move with commands you program in to them.
23:02 You are a GENIUS! What great engineering!
You inspire me so much! I love everything you create and I love watching your process ! Feels like a craft buddy working along with me!
26:37 Gothic Ms. Frizzle sent me 😂 oh how much sense it made, I love it
MISS FRIZZLE!? FROM THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?! *nostalgia overload*
godsend, all moving ears I've seen before bother me so much but these! These are awesome!
True the 5 meter wings are impractical for walking around by yourself, but they are essential for a stage event.
I actually discovered your channel today by your husk wings videos and I immediately subbed!! I’m defo going to be using this whole video for my ranboo cosplay so thank you so much for this btw you and your cosplays are really cool!! :)
I'm so excited, I hope it goes well and thank you so much for subscribing!
I love cosplays with moving parts so amazing 😍🤩
Gyatt 😮
I was thinking of controllers and then you mentioned it at the end. There should be enough space in the hat for electronics and batteries i would think.
That aside, this is brilliant and Husk looks amazing
Your cosplays never disappoint and you're so gorgeous
Matte black fishing line might make things less obvious, at least for this cos. Also, you might be able to reduce the number of lines by including a spring-like mechanism in the ears to return them to a preset position. Of course, getting a set of servos and an Arduino or Raspberry Pie would solve all these problems😊 You might be able to get away without the programing by running wires to control buttons (switches) hidden in your gloves, too.
As always, you're FABulous! Always look forward to your next project!😊
For a future project if you want to eliminate some of the strings, you could attach a little lego motor like they use for climbing up or down displays.
those are awesome and i will have to remember the trolly wheel trick for a future cosplay
I have been loving your Hazbin videos lately! They really picked me up from my own cosplay slump. Question: Where do you get your wigs and contact lenses?
Honestly all over! My favourite contact lens places and brands are Colourvue, TTDeye, Uniqso and PinkyParadise. Wigs I tend to get just wherever. A lot of suppliers based here in Melbourne or in New South Wales (both Australian so if you're not Aussie yourself they won't be much good!)
About the ears. You could sacrifice the independent movement of the ears, so that you could get down to only 4 strings. And with 4 strings, you could lead them through one of your sleeves, running in their own little separated tunnels. At the end of the strings, you could put slightly big rings on them to hook into with your fingers when you want to move them. Rest of the time they could just dangle at your sleeves I guess. My material suggestion for the rings would be black plastic maybe covered in some velvety textile or something to dampen the sound of them clanging together while just dangling there. Maybe this helps, maybe not. Have fun! ;*
Now this is a video worth watching
If you order a pair of the ears from the tail company you can make a cover for the ears. If the cover velcrows to the wig you can use the mechanism in a different cosplay as well!
Yeah that's not a bad idea! But I'd still have one less axis of movement. I'm debating trying out learning servos eventually!
@@MissTwisteddd I wasn't expecting a reply! I hope are able to learn and improve! I love your content and I can't wait to see your next project! ❤♥
Fantastic job you mad scientists of an inventor! Trying things and making them work!
Husk is my favourite hazbin character ❤
If you wanted to keep the string motion for the ears I would suggest like putting 2 motions into one like connecting the fishing line lower down so you can pull on it and it will do the motion that you would need to for but also for more specific movements you just move your hand up the line a bit further and just pull on the one not sure how well it would work it's just an idea
The cosplay looks incredible but oh my God those EARS 😭❤ you and all the people in the comments with suggestions have me very tempted to try and make some for my Izutsumi cosplay 😅
If you don't need your ears to move independently, you can probably cut the number of control strings from 8 down to 4 by connecting some of them together.
Something about this makeup and wig on you, it suits you so well,, makes my brain go all brrrr. Especially when you smile! 11/10 cosplay 🖤❤️🤍
OHHH I NEED THIS for my fox changeling larp creature thank youuuuu
It's 1 am for me at the moment, I absolutely love watching these types of videos, especially those from you!
You should make secret pockets somewhere on your cosplay to keep them from getting tangled up is just a suggestion
You needed this win, and you got it. Incredible job :]
To hide the strings could you thread them thru a small rubber tube, probably need to coat them in some kind of powder so the friction doesn't damage then. Then run the tube behind your actual ears thru your collar down your sleeves then make mini handle that sit on top of your hands inside a glove to move the ears while moving your wrists.
Hi, Miss Twisteddd! You are so awesome to create such outfits. What a creative mind you have wonderful thank you!🥺😘😍👄🫦👠♀️🌺🌹💐✨🌈🎊🥳🎉🎂🎁🎈💞💝💖💗💕💓
Now someone or you just need to either find or make a little machine to pull the strings with a set of buttons you press or something of that sort. Basically even just a stick that the stings can wind up around and gear to spin the stick and that housing sits on your back
I'm tearing up at your success. Those ears are SOO good! My kids (ages 7 and 13) are transfixed each time we watch your videos together. You're inspiring, and I enjoy seeing your passion.
Charlotte, you’re a genius when it comes to all your characters!!! ❤
I was watching this a day after making bits and bobs for my own Husker cosplay, and we both did the same thing with the fishing wire on the tail, only I made my wire go around my wrist so I could lift the tail (sideways) when I lift my arms 😂 It's so funny how we both did something similar.
Haha I think that is a tried-and-true method of holding tails in cosplay! It's the best way to do it for sure!
Speaking as someone who knows virtually nothing about making cosplay… how about using a ball joint rather than the wheels? I know nothing about servos either, but I’m sure others here would suggest a joystick style control…?
Even without the movement, the costume looks awesome in so many ways! I love how detailed it is, and it really captures the style and essence of Husk.
I might try something like a ball joint eventually!
This is giving me great ideas to make myself some fox ears down the line 👀Thank you for your wonderfully creative videos 💜
Have servos that respond to buttons in your gloves so when you press it you make that experience
