2022 costume roundup! I didn't get the chance to work on a lot of costumes, but I worked on a lot of detailed ones. these were probably some of my favorites that I worked on this year.
Probably one of my favorite things I got to explore a lot more was 3D printing. I've been working on modeling things for myself, so I really look forward to expanding that skill.
With MWIII around the corner and me only about 10% through the MWII multiplayer operators, I realise that I am NOT going to finish the complete guide in time for release, not with the time I have available.
SO, I am going to release the guide in stages, first with all the 'story' characters added (that I could get assets for) and then later with Multiplayer operators, and then with additional faction AI/NPCs after that.
In parallel, I will also work on MWIII loadouts as a separate project as assets for that become available too. Honestly cannot give an ETA for when to start expecting those, but they will be coming at some point.
Now, without further ado, I preset to you:
THE [UN]OFFICIAL MODERN WARFARE COSPLAY GUIDE
Clicking to the above will take you to a Google Drive download link, where the PDF will be hosted. As versions are posted, I will announce this via posts like this and provide new links, and delete the old version too.
V1.0 is story characters only, and total size is 525MB. Pages are 5100x3300px size, so quality should be fairly high with minimal compression artifacing.
This has been the culmination of literal months of work on my part, and if you would like to show your appreciation, I have enabled tipping on this post (and will on future posts for version updates). I have zero intentions on pay-walling content, as I believe knowledge and information like this should be shared freely. But my research and ASD-borne levels of focus are driven by copius amounts of tea and sugary foods, so if you want to 'fuel' me and keep this going, I won't say no!
A huge thanks to everyone that has reached out to provide their own insight on gear and equipment, either via notes and reblogs on the different guide posts I've made, or via my ask box, or through my DMs. You've helped fill my blind spots and further enhance the accuracy of my research. Many thanks to those, you all know who you are!
Thank you for your support! Seeing the daily batch of likes and reblog notifications for these guides, even after all this time, serves to motivate me and keep this project going!
So I've been working on a cosplay for Ghost's urban kit from MWII (the "Denim Ghost" look) and have hit a major milestone in terms of components and completion.
His chest holster doesn't actually exist in the form that's presented in game. There are chest holster systems, but none that closely resemble what he uses.
So I got his character model, extracted the holster, modified it to be printable... and had it 3D printed:
(The weapon in the holster is an airsoft/gelsoft replica firearm and is unloaded.)
Just need to sand and smooth it out, then paint it, but in terms of functionality, it's done! And I can't state just how cool it feels to wear and have on. It sits perfectly on the vest, I still get mobility with it on, and it doesn't jostle around.
I'l also need to stitch in the straps to their final positions, but damn I can't wait to show you all the finished set!
(If you want the model file for your own uses, don't hesitate to reach out and I can send you the blend file!)
