#and also cosplay/costume making

[nocek]

booo! I finished the promised halloween post!

I even made it with extra side of depression ;P

One of these days I need to write down all my headcanons about them. Just so I won't forget them (eh, if only I could write fanfics >.<) and it will fun to see how far off I am when the next movie drops.

But anyway to prove I'm not that evil : here is the more fun version

#spiderverse #atsv #across the spiderverse #gabriella o’hara #miguel o'hara #spiderman #spiderman 2099 #halloween #please appreciate how consistent I am with my work #muguel is and forever will be a kitty ;P #that learned to love arts and crafts #and also cosplay/costume making #as a natural and mandatory part of parenthood

Anyway I’m a clown because this is how I chose to costume myself as a female Orc for a renfaire

In my defense, it was nearly 100 degrees out and being sexy is fun

#I do look p hot ngl #also I’m my defense I didn’t have time to make anything new so I had to pull something from my previous costume box #I don’t like the belt angle but that’s cause I had to take out some things tucked into it so I could effectively sword fight #half orc #cosplay #renaissance faire #dungeons and dragons #dnd cosplay #women with swords

"In this world, I'm known as...the Winter King" 🌨❄️🌬

This cosplay was so so close to never seeing the light of day, as this was the aforementioned project I rage quit to procrastinate with Nekomancer on haha. I really adored the fionna and cake special (and adventure time in general) and wanted to cosplay from it for eons...although I will admit this project was intended to be "generic blue and silver winter regal outfit for a variety of characters" and it was a toss up on whether or not the first run was going to go to the Winter King/Simon or Jack Frost...but I couldn't find my jack frost wig so here we are!

This was my first time working a lot with velvet and low key....I loved it and would love to use it more.

#my cosplay #adventure time #fionna and cake #simon petrikov #LISTEN listen i try not to be negative #i know theres no reason to be your own hater #but this project has been a whoumph from day one #making it was frustrating and the end product feels disappointing #kind of a bummer end to my cosplay year BUT #all the more reason and motivation for me to focus on non-cosplay things for awhile #since im pretty sure the reason this costume fizzled is i just didnt put in the extra care and attention it needed #which is just...not really possible when youre making a new costume every single month on top of a demanding job #ALSO IM SOWWY NO GLASSES MY NOSE WAS WAY TOO TALL FOR THE TINY ONES I HAD originally for jamie heinemann if you believe it

This is not the wig I’m gonna use, I just threw on an old wig to see if this would be the color I wanted to get, but I’m 100% not lying when I said I’m gonna cosplay chimera Falin, mark my words I will find some way to engineer that

#I mean I’m already rotating thoughts in my head. my partner has already agreed to operate the back legs lol #and they scare me but I’d learn how to use stilts for this bc I want to make the costume more than I’m scared of stilts #i say lol I’ll figure it out but also it is worth noting I’ve been cosplaying for more than 10 years and I do consider myself at a high skil #*skill level #anywho. yea #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi cosplay #Falin #Falin cosplay #<- tags for planning so can track my progress thru the tags #my cosplay

It's done!

The rubber coating did not want to adhere to the modeling foam, so that's why where the handle meets the sword looks gross. Don't skip the heat sealing step, I guess.

I'm proud of the result, but most importantly, I'm ready to be DONE WITH IT.

#with that mei's costume is COMPLETE. pics next week #mei dragon sword cosplay progress #cosplay #lmk mei #lego monkie kid #mine #mk costume almost done. tangy's half way done. still have to make some signage #ughghghh regretting choices right now but also having the time of my life

hello can you please show us details on the demolition lovers costume they fuck severely

I gotchu buddy

Sorry this took me a bit to get to, the dress was not in my possession since it was a gift for my friend, but I borrowed it to make some repairs! (honestly for not making a test patch and then sending thru the durability test that is dancing and jumping around for an MCR cover band I'm surprised the casualties were kept to like, one or two strands)

Also here's a video of it in motion! Since pics don't capture how much the beads sparkle plus how much motion the dangly bits have

I'll take closeups of the suit when I have the time n add em to this post, hopefully tomorrow?

#my posts #demolition lovers #my chemical romance #MCR #so sorry to everyone that followed me for my demo lovers costumes only to be met with constant Gabe saporta propaganda #except I'm not sorry everyone here go stream viva la cobra hit album by cobra starship #also this dress hasn't touched a dress form till today #I did all the sewing/beading sitting hunched over on my bed and would try it on a billion times to make sure it looked right #demolition lovers cosplay #mcr cosplay #mcr bullets #three cheers for sweet revenge #fun fact I got the dress at a thrift store for like 20 bucks and it fit my friend perfectly

How I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love Bones: The Harrow Cosplay

Or: I felt like doing a little writeup of the making of my Harrowhark Nonagesimus cosplay because I worked hard on it and this is also basically the first cosplay I actually completed. And I'm also just very proud of it.

I knew from the start I wanted the silhouette to essentially be a triangle, since I deeply believe that Harrow in full vestments is like a little walking cone. This is also deeply influenced by the many years I spent in church choir wearing those dinky little robes.

The first thing I figured out was the headpiece. I knew I wanted the hair to be covered (both in a religious way and also so I wouldn't have to wear a wig), but when it comes to hair coverings, there's a lot of ways it could go. I initially considered mantillas, to go with the whole Catholicism of it all, but unfortunately I was possessed with the spirit of half my ancestors and decided to drape a scarf like a dupatta (I considered making maang tikka to go with it, but had a hard time with the logistics of that). I found a drapy, thin black scarf at a thrift store and held onto it for a while. You can tell from the picture that it's pretty sheer and also a good length.

I szuszed it up by hand-stitching some white lace to it (since I'm very taken with the idea of the Ninth producing lace like all good nunneries did), as well as some seashell beads in a suitable bonelike color and these very cool tiny silver skull beads. These are only on the front of my scarf as a nice little decoration.

For the rest of the jewelry, Sculpey really came through. I used it to make some (outsized) teeth to create a rosary, along with some very cool volcanic rock beads. Individually knotting each bead and tooth was a huge time sink, but definitely worth it visually. Nine teeth for each of the houses.

I also made some bone bangles out of Sculpey (although this was towards the end of things when I was kind of losing steam).

My metamour @benthicbimbo was fucking amazing though and literally?? made thee most beautiful phalanges choker out of Sculpey and velvet ribbon and they're weathered and textured so beautifully and it's such a wonderful piece I genuinely wear it around places quite often.

And because they're incredible they also made these beautiful faux earrings for me that I tragically forgot to wear during Halloween but do look genuinely stunning!!! Like what!!!!!

For the big layers, I genuinely got the best luck at Goodwill in one fell swoop and I have no idea how I got this lucky. The dress is Shein (and once you touch it that fact is very obvious) and the overcoat is a CQ by CQ trench coat someone didn't want anymore (sans belt). These combined with the dupatta really solidified the silhouette and both the pattern of the dress and the brocade on the overcoat really were exactly what I was looking for and it was a sheer stroke of luck that I found both of them in one go.

And now, the big boy: the ribcage corset. I wrestled with this thing for what felt like ages and I'm decently pleased with it, but I definitely have plans for improvement. I started off with a wire frame just to see what kind of shape I wanted-- I took inspiration from the book cover, but slutted it up a little with the titty cups because I felt like having fun. This was made with floral wire and duct tape.

Once I had it to a point where it was reasonably symmetric and fit to my body, I added a very thin layer of quilt batting. The goal of this step was to add bulk without weight or necessarily a gajillion layers of plaster or paper mache. As a friend of mine described it, it looked like low-poly gore.

From here, I added two layers of paper mache since I really wanted it to be rigid-- I did not want this to flex with me as I moved or really flex at all. I wanted to really sell that this was made of bone.

It was at this point I realized I fucked up enormously because the bottom was very asymmetric and I never did a final fit to myself, but it turned out okay anyways, especially combined with the overcoat. I slapped a few layers of acrylic paint over it and used a black ribbon to just tie it around my back-- it was going to be covered by the overcoat anyways so I didn't think too hard about that part.

And that's pretty much it! The black leather gloves are my usual winter gear, and the shoes are my everyday officewear black heels. The face paint design was a mix of the book cover, some fanart I'd seen, and some mockups a friend of mine made for me.

Overall, I had a ton of fun putting together what I feel like is my first con-worthy cosplay, and it was a massive upgrade from last year's cosplay. I'm not 100% satisfied with the ribcage-- I believe I can do better-- but this method was pretty solid (I'd recommend overestimating spaces between ribs though when making the frame). The face paint also wasn't my best work-- thick cream paint is a huge bitch to work with and I didn't have any brushes, but it got the point across. Either way, this cosplay was enormously fun to put together, actually quite comfortable to wear and move around in, and very satisfying to look at. As a reward or perhaps punishment for reading this far, a mandatory couples' cosplay with my beloathed Gideon (my dear @laserlesbians). Happy belated boneday!
