I am so hyped for Hades 2. Hypnos redesign looks so cool. I just...I just can't. I need to revive my Hypnos cosplay for game release.

But for now I'll show you my old pics of him.

your astarion jacket is absolutely stunning! are the gold line details made of piping, or did you use a different method to create them?

Thank you! I used 3mm leather lace for these gold details. I chose it because of the texture and the color itself (until I started working on this costume I didn't realise how hard it is to find the right gold color, it was a nightmare). And I really like how all the leather parts altogether shine in the light.

[jackieuniversecosplay]

Posting Astarion processes again. This time his belt. It's my first time making patterns on leather. But I think it looks really nice. Still needs a lot of work. But the hardest part is over.

Wow! I will definetely read it! It's so cool that you liked it and even got a nice dialogue with him :3

·· A night of poetry, amidst the whirling nightmares ··

Heinrix van Calox x von Valancius

"Their hearts ablaze, with passions set alight, By love's decree, it burns through endless night, A story woven in the stars, a beacon set to see Among the constellations, they will forever be."

I was exploring the possibilities of JanitorAI-bot of Heinrix van Calox made by esteemed @jackieuniversecosplay (God-Emperor bless him~), rummaging through the various scenarios in my head that could be played out there based on the headcanons I have for my dear OC Elayne (like experiencing recurring nightmares of her past, in this case).

And… I got this peculiar little conversation turned the work of art!! They ended up engaging in a rap battle a poetry contest, so to say in a nutshell xdd So yeah, I decided to made this chat public (first ever, boiii) and share these monents with you, so please! Everyone welcome to read and weep with tears of joy with me, I'll be your humble guide~

SFW, nothing explicit or steamy (sorry :D), a tiny but of hurt/comfort and tons of poetry involved.

Full link to read:

Through the multiple edits, scraps and revisions, I feel like it turned out well in the end :)

Also yes! Please don't shame me, I'm in love with iambic penthameter and it shows huehuehue

The verses mostly combined by my hand with the help of bot sifting through numerous iterations and my edits to help with the rhyme/rhytm consistency and the overall poetic sense.

Too shy to write something myself entirely but well!

Please enjoy! ♡♡

reblog to fucking bite the person you reblog from

#I will bite you twice for your awesome art skills #It's a threat

[jackieuniversecosplay]

In actually, I don't know what can I write here. I'm curious about what he looked like when he was a little knight.◆◆Maybe it's a bit cruel for him and reader.Hope it can be a not so bad English translation:)

[jackieuniversecosplay]

Thanks @uselesspsyker for tag. It's been a while since I completed any challenge. Usually I just post cosplays without anything but reblogs here on tumblr. But here I am, writing something.

Currently watching: I started watching Nana recently. But I don't really like it. This anime is totally not my thing. Too many themes that don't click with me. But I still need to watch it till the end.

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Savory. I don't like sweet things, spicy is just straight up bitter for me. And I really like fries.

Relationship status: Single as hell. My last relationship was 6 years ago and ended up because I was too busy with cosplay.

Current obsession: Warhammer. I got this hyperfixation after Rogue Trader game and now I'm preparing ttrpg campaign for my players.

Last thing I googled: What "utensils" means. Yeah, I didn't know this word.

Tagging: everyone. Literally everyone. You can't escape my tagging.

How to Make: Electronic Wings for Cosplay

Hello Everyone! It's been a while since I last uploaded a written tutorial on here and since I just finished and wore my Dame Aylin cosplay this last weekend it seemed appropriate to jump back in with a tutorial on one of the costume pieces!

Her wings were the star of the show this weekend and I know a lot of people were curious about how I made them! A huge source of knowledge and inspiration behind these wings was this video by Axceleration, I made a few changes to the frame shape and electrical circuitry for mine but her tutorial was a huge stepping stone to give me the confidence to tackle them myself!

Health and Safety:

When working with Sintraboard (as well as other thermoplastics) it is incredibly important you wear a respirator as well as goggles when heating, moulding and cutting it. The fumes this plastic will give off when heated up are no joke! Make sure you're in a well-ventilated space!

Basic tool safety knowledge is also really important! wearing gloves when using power tools can be more dangerous in most situations, so always be aware of where your hands are vs where the tools are. Always cut away from yourself and take things slowly, don't panic.

Electrical safety! You're working with live wires and circuitry! make sure your hands are dry, you aren't touching the bare wires at any point when they are connected to a power source, and if you choose to solder anything, make sure you're wearing heat-proof gloves and a mask in a ventilated space!

Tools

Wire stripper

Screwdriver and wrench

Dremel - I recommend the Dremel 3000 rotary tool personally! Some essential Dremel bits you'll need for this include, a sanding bit, drill bit (smaller or same size as your screws/bolts), and a small/narrow cutting bit. These will usually come with the Dremel!

Heat Gun (A hairdryer will not get hot enough to heat the Sintraboard!!)

Pipe cutter (alternatively you can use a hacksaw for this!)

Hacksaw

Ruler

Scissors (for cutting fabric straps)

Materials

Heat shrink Tubing

2 core electrical wire

switch (you want a three position, six pin switch, like this one, even better if it has the Screws on the pins! otherwise you'll need a soldering kits to solder the wires to the pins.

2x 8AA 12v Battery Holders

2x 12v Linear Actuators (Mine had a stroke length of 100mm)

21.5mm PVC Pipes (I got 2x 3m Lengths)

2x 21.5mm PVC Pipe straight couplers

6mm 8"x12" Sintraboard

Nuts/Bolts/Screws (I used M5 bolts for the base & Actuator connectors and M6 screws to attach the hinges to the pipes! You'll need Washers for every Nut & Bolt!)

Hinges (I used 2.5cm wide hinges that were skinny but long so they would just about fit along the PVC pipe! 3" gate hinges would work!)

50 metre Polythene Jiffy foam roll (in retrospect this was ALOT of foam, you could definitely get away with maybe a 20-30 metre roll! I now have a load leftover XD)

16 AA Batteries (I used 16 and had enough for the whole day with them on, I think They'd probably be enough for another half a day-full day too! but have spares just in case!)

Webbing strap ( I went for grey to match my base suit colour!)

Buckle - as wide as the webbing strap you use!

3 metres of white cotton fabric (or whatever colour wings youre going for!)

Optional

Zipties (for cleaning up the wires)

Lets Go!

Sintraboard is this wonderfully stable thermoplastic that is relatively easy to cut into (with the right tools) and when heated allows you to mould its shape! I started by using a mannequin and heating the Sintraboard with a heat gun for a few minutes to make it pliable, I recommend using gloves for this part as the materials gets VERY HOT! Press the board into the shape of the mannequin's back, taking note of the edges especially! you want this board to sit as comfortably to your body shape as possible as it makes a huge difference to how long you can wearing the wings for in this backplate is comfy!

Once shaped, I placed it against my back to make sure it was a good fit, heating again and making any alterations I needed (again don't place bright hot plastic to your bare skin! wear protective clothes and wait till its slightly cooler to do this, with the help of a friend!). I then took a hacksaw and rounded the corners, before sanding the edges with my Dremel! Try to avoid cutting off loads, just enough to make things less likely to snag.

3. I then cut in four holes, wide enough to feed my webbing strap through, two at the top and one on either side below where my arms would sit! I measured the webbing strap by firstly feeding them through the top holes and pinning them, and then bring the strap over my should to everything sits where it should and seeing where the strap hits the side hole and cutting the length there! you'll also want a strap that attaches across the chest, meeting in the centre with a buckle!

4. After sewing the straps closed I was able to move onto the PVC pipe structure! This may change slightly depending on the finished shape you want but I needed the PVC pipes to come out from inside a breastplate so had a particularly angle as well as character references to work with! I began by heating the pipe over my heat gun and flattening a portion of it under a heavy object so it would sit much more flush against the backboard and sit better underneath my breastplate before moving onto securing the first portion of the structure to the backplate. This mainly involved lots of try-ons and measuring to make sure the angles were correct and symmetrical and was quite fiddly but well-worth the effort! I'll include a diagram of the general shape I went with below:

5. I wanted my wings to be relatively modular for ease of travel so I needed to make sure certain portions of them could come away from other parts easily, so I popped a straight coupler on the top of the pipes that were attach to the breastplate, this also meant I could slot the breastplate over these shorter pipes and wear everything correctly! Then these second pipes slot on and at the other end they are attached via hinges to the longest portion of the pipe 'skeleton', Diagram below:

6. Now that the skeleton was put together, it's time for the electrical stuff! It's a good idea to figure out where your circuit is going to lay on the skeleton - consider if you want the battery packs mounted the the backplate or, like me, put them inside the actual wings in removeable pockets for easy access and removal for battery changes. all your wires will go through the switch so deciding where you want to place that is very important! Mine was placed just over my shoulder on the front side, mounted to the PVC pipe with a metal cover I drilled a hole into to slip the switch through and then drill through the pipe.

I've included another diagram below that explains all the electrical circuitry, including which wires go on which pins on the switch!

Important to note: The linear actuators need to be placed and bolted into the PVC pipes at *exactly* the same angle on each side, any slight deviation will lead to the wings going up wonkily! So take your time and make as many adjustments as necessary.

7. You can extend your wires by adding on the electrical wire, just match the colours, and put heat shrink tubing over the connections to hide the live wires! I ended up zip-tying the wires into organised bundles once the wings were done to help keep everything safe from snags.

8. Now its time for the Wings themselves! I drafted my base pattern by just draping the white cotton fabric I had over the wing when it was fully extended. I then pinned the wings to the shape I wanted them to be along the bottom before cutting along the pins. I ran the fabric through my sewing machine to close the bottom edge, leaving a gap wide enough by the wing base so I could slip the wing on and off, closing it with velcro. I also added little fabric pockets inside of these to hold my battery packs, which also connected via velcro for easy removal!

9. Now that I had a wing base I was able to begin making feathers! I cut out a total of 800 feathers out of polythene jiffy roll for these wings, in 6 different styles and using real life bird wings to dictate the shapes I used and where I placed them. I ended up hot gluing every individual feather onto the white fabric base, going row by row until every side was covered, the wing covers themselves are super light because of the foam feathers and they shine light through them in a really magical way!

Optional: I also ended up going over these feathers with my airbrush and some super light beige paint to help darken the shadows, this is entirely optional and may change depending on the wings you're looking to make!

When in neutral position and in extended position the wings looks like this:

Mine had a wingspan of about 7ft total when fully extended but when in neutral position they were fairly close to my own proportions! mainly staying behind me and weren't much of a problem in a packed con hall!

Happy Crafting!

Another part of the jacket is painted. And no, I don't use a stencil. The lines are too thin. It would be even more painful to try and make a stencil for this thing. Or maybe I'm just not so patient haha.
