I wanted rain so I decided to make god cry

Either you love or hate these things, I have had no other reaction

(Full process under the cut)

[Skull pauldron] [Belt] [Greaves] [Toga + sash] [Wig + Laurels] [Armbands] [Flaming feet] [Satyr Sack] [Stygius v1] [Stygius v2] [Nectar]

These things are terrible and were terrible to make but are actually quite comfy to wear!

I started off with some yellow toe socks, and some cheap insoles. The black ones were used as a draft, before I cut out a white pair and painted them yellow. Then I sewed the insoles into position, trying to stick to areas that would later be covered by the actual show sole so they wouldn't be noticed. There was no way to do with without wearing the socks, which turned out to be the case with several stops of this process.

Next was cutting and shaping the show soles! These were from $4 slip on flats, since I wanted a sturdy sole without being too thick. To get the rough size and shape of my feet on the sole I did paint my foot and just stick it on there, before realising I'd made a mistake and having to hop one legged through my house to wash my foot off in the laundry sink. But! It did give me a good base to work off, so I was able to cut out the right shape and then bevel the edges for a more natural look.

I should have bought white shoes. Or done more research about how paints react to whatever rubber mix these shoe soles are made of. Because painting these yellow was so incredibly painful because they kept getting slightly sticky even if the coats dried properly. It was also quite difficult to get them to stick to the material of the socks since hot glue doesn't like a lot of rubber/plastics if it's sticking to something else, and contact adhesive doesn't like most materials. So I had to use epoxy resin to try and connect these two together since it was the strongest thing I had, and boy was it painful trying to figure out the right amount so it wouldn't all squeeze out the sides and ruin the whole shoesock. Overall terrible experience, -1/10, but they ended up on the feet and painted yellow which was the goal.

Then I got to paint my legs orange along with the socks in order to get that on-fire look. it wasn't the most even gradient due to some of the angles I had to work at while wearing them, but thankfully not too noticeable.

And with that, they were done, and ready to horrify everyone I come across! The greaves have worn some of the orange paint off the socks after my first con, but thankfully that's not noticeable if I place the socks and greaves in the same position each time I wear the outfit.

Terrible

I could have gone the easy way and bought yellow thongs and painted my feet #but I refuse to do that I ain't having my toes out at a con #I AM AUSTRALIAN BY THONGS I MEAN FLIP FLOPS OR WHATEVER YOU CALL THEM IN YOUR REGION #but yeah I like to cause psychological damage to my friends with my toe socks #by making toe shoes I can afflict that same damage onto everyone at the con #and still follow con rules

doesn't look like much now, but i'm starting to work out the pattern for Mammon's costume. It'll be made up of two 5/6th circle skirts, basically. the top one is 28 inches in diameter (8 inch diameter neck hole, which will have velcro to hold the hood in place), the bottom will be 38 inches, and rotated 45 degrees.

it'll be cut out in sections, i haven't decided yet if I'm going to line each section individually or if I'll try to cut the lining as a single piece and sew it that way. I have a feeling that it might help the shape a bit, because I can also cut the interfacing as a single piece.

the diamonds and trim, I think I'm going to paint on. I'll use stencils for the diamonds, and I think I can freehand the gold trim if i use a nice wide brush. The thing is, I've never wrestled with actually sewing on details like that. I'm more confident with my ability to paint them.

i'm going to use bells for the little balls on each point, it'll be really nice.

I haven't drawn up the pattern for the pants yet, but they're gonna be really simple dropped-crotch balloon/lantern pants. baggy and poofy.

originally, I thought about painting the stripes on, but I actually think I can sew them as panels. same with the sleeves. It's roughly the same as a beach ball, just stretched out. as long as I know how wide I want the legs/sleeves, how long they need to be, and how wide the waist and cuffs need to be, I'm fine. dropped crotch pants don't need the same kind of shaping. I can literally make two full "stretched ball" shapes and pin them, and cut off the extra. I think i'll try to cut the lining for the pants out of single panels too, i don't want the seams rubbing on my legs.

I'll be drafting everything in muslin, to make sure it all works before i cut it out of the real fabric.

the only really daunting thing is the hat/hood, but I'm fairly confident in my ability to build it out of upholstery foam first, and then drape and pattern it.

Belt and swords are done!

Not bothering to do much detail due to the fact that the swords are just decorative. Basically, they arent even props

hi!! i absolutely LOVE your webslinger cosplay, i was wondering what your process was? especially for the poncho, did you make it yourself? thank you so much!!

Thank you!

Most of it was crunched into the week up to the event 😭

Some family let me borrow pieces like the spurs, boots, holster, and hat. While I got the main clothes second hand.

The actual pieces I had to make were the poncho, mask, and the hat broach!!

I just made the broach out of oven baked clay. And as much as I wanted to just buy a poncho and paint it. I couldn't find any with the color I wanted. So I bought the fabric for both the mask and poncho and made them from scratch! Just painted them and went above to cut the webbing at the ends of each side :]

Ah nectar, the drink of the Gods

Also known as potion of burn your fingers because you're bad at using lighters and refuse to turn your ceiling fan off

(Full process under the cut)

[Skull pauldron] [Belt] [Greaves] [Toga + sash] [Wig + Laurels] [Armbands] [Flaming feet] [Satyr Sack] [Stygius v1] [Stygius v2] [Nectar]

I really love being able to give out in-character items while in cosplay, and I figured nectar, as a semi-common friendship leveling item, would be perfect. Originally I was going to try sculpting them out of sculpy or something and then I realised I would be unsatisfied with the end result so I bought bought 50 tiny glass bottles off aliexpress

To get the golden-orange filling I experimented with a few things - while the one I was happiest with was a clear PVA glue mixed with watercolour paint pigment for colour and gold pearlescent pigment for shine, it wouldn't set, and I didn't want to deal with a liquid considering I have a long history of just bashing the shit out of things if I'm not very careful, and I don't want to spend my whole con day taking special care of tiny glass bottles. So, I ended up using resin! Coloured the same way as the glue, this was my first time using resin and while I would have liked less bubbles it turned out well

To get the weird blobby looking cork the ends were dipped in wax by my sister, who mixed a few colours together and let the bottles dry upside down to get the right shape

I used two types of ribbon for my two lots of bottles (nearly 100 bottles have been made up to this point), but both were a purple satin. After trying the bow in a way that would let it sit in the right direction and burning the ends with a lighter to seal them and prevent them from fraying, I used clear PVA glue to stiffen the ribbon and secure it. While drying I used a bit of blutack to get the ends to dry straight down rather than to the sides

Then, because small trinkets are nice but can be difficult to carry around all day at a con, I attached some string which is just purple embroidery thread I had lying around. Unfortunately I did too much of a good job tying the ribbon tightly for some of them since I had to use wire and pliers to actually get it under the ribbon to tie it on

But all the finicky work is worth it, they're very cute when complete

(Psst - if you're an Australian con-goer (specifically Supanova) keep an eye out for me on the floor - I give these out to the hades fans I meet!)

#my cosplay #cosplay process #hades game #zagreus cosplay #cosplay props #nectar #a few people have asked me why I don't sell these and why I go to so much effort and spend money on something I'm giving out for free #and the answer is because its fun it makes me happy and it makes the recipients happy #who cares if I'm 'losing money' when I can make someone's day #and still be in character to make my cosplay even better #I don't roleplay and I'm a shit actor but it's about having fun and making connections and keeping up that sense of community #bc we're choosing to be at the convention and be enthusiastic about the things we love #and that is so unbelievably special to me #anyway that's it for the tag rant and these damn process posts thanks to anyone that actually reads all this word vomit

Well, ladies and gents... I think the wings could use some more crystals but with tfcon in less than a week, I'm happy to say my kibble is officially COMPLETE! Maybe in the next few days I'll add a bit of bling where and when I can!

mammon cosplay update

it's slow work because i actually don't really enjoy any part of the process tbh so it's a pain to get myself to do it

anyway, i finished one draft leg of the pants, tried it on, and it's FAR too small. idk what the hell i was smoking. completely redesigned the pattern, which means i have to print, trace, cut out, and sew 8 more panels to test again. joy.
