/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hey there /cgl/, thanks for making this thread.
I read the first few posts, and I did as much research as I could before posting, but still wanted to run my ideas by you guys.
Here's the plan: Mumm-Ra! The not-quite-everliving. I want to go for the hunched mummy version like pic related.
I figure the first step is a Mummy costume, which the internet suggests I make out of white cloths, torn sheets, and a hot glue gun.
Next is the possibly expensive bit, the red cape. It seems like a common item in costumes, but do you folks have suggestions regarding purchasing one beyond checking a local costume store?
Lastly, I think I'm going to paint my hands and face blue instead of buying an expensive mask that I'd have to further alter. The only problem would be I wouldn't have those iconic red eyes. Any suggestions how to pull that off?

Thanks to anyone that took the time to read this. I'm mostly looking for feedback for my basic plan, and I'd trust you folks more than anywhere else on the interbutts,
