What this video covers

This tutorial walks through the hand-painting process for a 3D-printed Ripper Psycho Mask from Borderlands 4, focusing on the game's signature cel shading art style. The mask was printed in grey PLA using a Bambu X1C, with official free cosplay files provided by Borderlands on Printables. The creator uses a range of Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics alongside a rust weathering product to achieve the gritty, comic-book-inspired look. While time-consuming, the technique is broken down accessibly for cosplayers at various skill levels.

Key takeaways

  • Official Borderlands 4 Ripper Mask 3D files are freely available on Printables
  • Cel shading relies on deliberate flat color blocking with bold dark outlines to mimic the game's comic-book aesthetic
  • A curated palette of Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics plus Dirty Down Rust creates depth and weathering
  • Printed in grey PLA on a Bambu X1C, making it compatible with most FDM printers
  • Elastic and tri-glide hardware are used to finish the mask as a wearable piece
