/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Well this thread is dying fast. I guess i'll get things moving.

Started on Ryukos seifuku last night, only managed to accomplish the collar and skirt, but it's something.

Working on redoing my crappy circa-2009 Medicine Seller costume, starting with the props. New mirror-pendant next to old mirror-pendant.
On the subject of redoing said costume, if anyone's familiar with the character, do you think the kimono would look better appliqued with vintage kimono fabric, or digitally printed so I can make it look like katazome + yuzen?

Did my collar AGAIN for eternal chibiusa, third times a charm I guess, im finally happy with it.

Excuse the lousy photo. Trying my hand at making digigrades for Chopper. They are pretty okay to walk in, obviously I have to put more weight on the pads of my foot but I'll have a pole to rest weight on so it will probably be okay.

Finally got the legs for this bastard done. Delivered them last night to the client to make room for starting on the torso. Will probably be starting on it this weekend.

Overall I'm fairly happy with them, I had to make a LOT of concessions and changes just to make them a reality, which while I regret, not too much I can do due to my building skill.

Iron Monger is now half done, and the client is wanting to present it at Megacon coming up in March, heaven help all of us.

>>7179269

Daaamn, that looks like quite a build.

>>7179297
10 foot tall once completed. Legs are at 30 lbs a piece. It's going to be worn maybe twice before it gets put out on display at the local comic book shop.

I will say I'm happy I'm doing it, I've learn soooo much about scratchbuilt fabrication on a large scale, duplication of items and paterns, engineering and stability. Things been a fucking beast taking up most of my days lately.

>>7179269
jesus christ

Starting on this Shunya Yamashita pirate illustration.
I have the grommets pushed into the holes I punched just to see how they look. The red dye came out way deeper than I expected, but I think it's gorgeous even if it's inaccurate.

Started in on a Judge Dredd Lawgiver just for fun that has since expanded into a costume for comic-con next year...

>>7180220
... and also resuming work on my 3DMG that I was taking a break from.

>>7180222
Are you trying to recreate manga or anime version?
Those are way too bulky, handles are supposed to be more elegant. And I can't find a place for triggers on your photo, empty holes just don't feel right.

>>7179927
Set the grommets, and this is a better pic of the color as well.

>>7180474
The triggers are built into the middle layer of wood. I agree they are somewhat clunky; the saw I was using at the time could only cut very shallow curves at best, but now that I have a scroll saw I might make a curvier set of swords in the future. Luckily I designed my Gear to have all interchangable parts.

Zenith blade so far. first time making a full wooden prop, i think it's going okay

>>7181487
I hope your spikes don't break off. try and reinforce those joins with a nail or screw in the middle if possible.

>>7181505
yeah they're not attached yet. im thinking about using dowels so i can take it apart for easy travel

>>7181487
Thats amazing!

>>7181512
Dowel screws might be the best answer for that. You'll be able to take it apart/put it together if you're careful, but less likely to snap.

>>7181532
hey good idea, thanks man!

i also lathe'd the handle today but forgot to grab a picture.

I've had so many issues with this frontpiece for my Brotherhood of steel armor.

The fiberglass was too weak to pull my boobs up the way it'd need to. (going to use ribbon suspenders underneath to strap it together I think.

If it looks shitty, it won't hurt my feelings guys, this is my first armor suit I've made. I've done a helmet that turned out pretty great, but this is a different ballgame entirely.

This didn't take SUPER long. so if I need to do a new pepakura, and just start over, it won't hurt my feelings.

salvegable?

>>7182354
what I'm trying to match it to. I know I've posted this a couple times in previous threads, but I hope it can kind of highlight if the two are similar enough..
I should have made it all at once.

salvageable? It's hard to tell in the picture, but I folded little pieces near the edges of the "six pack" area.

I also needed advice if you guys wouldn't mind! My bra is too big to fit inside this suit, so I was going to use those bra sticker things. (not the tiny nipple ones, but the full chested ones) Only problem is I have an allergy to adhesive. so it'll get rashy.

Any suggestions? thanks!

Whooo progress. Working on Maya Amano right now. I got most of the blouse sewn. Def need to iron the darts. There's a second "tier" that will be added once I get the zippers I need. And I need to work on the ribbing detail she has!

>>7182629
<3

>>7177754

Now you only need to grow a head, arms and legs! Nearly there

>>7180220

It doesn't really look like the Lawgiver but at least it's got a display so that's something.

>>7182356

This doesn't look good at all.

>>7178597
Probably vintage kimono fabric if you want to go history-ish accurate.

But if you'd rather be more character accurate, then your second option.

I can't wait for more progress. I love Mononoke.

>>7182655
Why do you say that?

>>7182655
would another angle make it look any better?

>>7182655
I didn't know it was that awful. Should I redo it?

>>7182693

YES.
I'm a completely different anon, and even I think it looks horrible.

It's not the angle or the picture or anything. It is straight up just a poorly made helmet. A very poorly made helmet.
It makes me want to cry, it is just extremely badly made.

Doing paper mâché or whatever the fuck you did to make this bad helmet was just the worst decision you've ever made.
PLEASE do research beforehand to try and learn how to make a helmet that is at least SEMI-decent.

>>7182707
I don't understand what's so awful about it, because some of the detail work is crude?

Is it that the shape isn't the right contour? I did a lot of research, actually.

>>7182362
> it'll get rashy.

>>7182723
Implying you've never had a rash before.

>>7182714

Honestly, there is too much to list on how it is awful.
I'm sorry, but if you don't see how this is just awful, then I don't know if helping you will even work.

It's lumpy, it doesn't even look like the helmet it is supposed to, there IS no detailing, the paint job is horrible, it kind of looks like a big blob with eyeholes cut out of it and random stuff stuck onto it, it's crooked, the tubing literally looks like it is melting into the helmet, you aren't supposed to fucking paper mâché pepakura, I don't know what the hell is going on with your spit valve but it's wrong, generally all of your added on pieces are inaccurate anyway and just make it worse, you didn't even bother putting lenses in it, I mean
The entire helmet is just wrong and the construction is extremely poor.

I'm wondering if you are trolling right now, actually, and rethinking wether or not I should be replying.

>>7182723
>people with allergies break into rashes, how disgusting!!!!

>>7182356
Here is a comparison picture of the 3d model

>>7182690

I was going to say that the helmet looks like a Warhammer miniature slathered in thick paint, there are barely any details and all that but I think >>7182741 has covered it by saying
> it kind of looks like a big blob with eyeholes cut out of it and random stuff stuck onto it

>>7182356
>>7183073

Let's look at a pretty good helmet someone made versus the blob with random stuff stuck into it.

>>7183846
I don't think it's quite as horrible as people keep saying, I mean it is close enough that I could tell what you were going for.
But there's a lot of improvements to be made.

>>7183854

Dude.
> it is close enough that I could tell what you were going for.

See what you're saying there, man? It's "it remotely resembles the thing you wanted to represent but you have failed so much that it looks just /cgl/-levels of alright and not actually good"

>>7183854
This iron man is close enough that I could tell what he was going for.
But there's a lot of improvements to be made.

>>7183878

This is actually bad enough to be funny again and to high-five the dude.

>>7183878
>Implying that's not perfection.
Bitch you best back the fuck up.

>>7183910
It was an example

Hey guys, /v/ here. What's going on in this thread?

>>7184007
/v/irgin, tell us how accurate this helmet is to the videogame. >>7182356

T-rex mode
Level: Cosplayer

Seriously though one of the "pilots" got to walk around some at the shop. Finally got to see what final adjustments I needed to make, and do my final clean up on them.
That will happen a little later on, but for right now I'm gonna be starting up the torso, need to make progress.


Oh, also note, that guy is short, so they do look a little big on him. I'll probably have to raise the stilt height by a few inches to take care of it.

>>7184610
Are you actually going to be able to fucking walk in this...?

>>7184629
That's why we did tests.

Yup, not well mind you, but enough to be able to reposition himself if needs be for photo ops and what not. Pretty much going to camp in one area at the con, let people come to us. Afterwards it'll be a statue on display

>>7184610
>>7184651
I can appreciate wanting to go big, but...holy lack of detail, Batman. And I'm sorry, but that construction is just plain bad.

I don't think you're going to be as popular as you think you're going to be.

>>7184667

Detail does not equate to construction. It looks solidly constructed, especially if it can walk at that size.

Plus, it's unpainted, which always looks plain. Coupled with the fact that Iron monger's legs aren't exactly detailed anyway ( joints aside ) it's relatively accurate.

>>7184610

Wow. And I thought my build was massive and cumbersome.
How are you going to tackle the torso? Looks like the guy inside will have to see through the Arc Reactor hole, but the arms will need to be much higher up than that.

Good job so far though.

>>7184610
I didn't know you were designing those to be able to move around. That thing is an insane undertaking and you get two giant thumbs up from me man.

Any idea how much they weigh? I get exhausted after a few hours in my wooden stilts. I can only imagine what these are like.

Ill admit I am annoyed at my slow progress on my next build considering what everyone else is working on. I really need to step up my game with guys like you out there to compete with :)

>>7184667
When designing a somethign this big, consessions have to be made. Especially if you want a person in the costume. I'm not a hollywod movie special fx team with 10 million dollars for my budget, so even I realize there are going to be some inaccuracies that just have to happen.

>>7184678
Thank you, right now I'm really just looking to replace the knee caps off the thing to make it just a tad better. That and no panel lines have been scribbed paint laid down.

>>7184709

Ahh, love your outfit. The torso is going to have a harness and box frame. The details will be skinned over it. The arms will be a bit of trickery. They will be hinged and bolted to the top of the frame, and the wearer will be able to control them (While not walking) by the forearm.


>>7184866
They are about 30 pounds? Each? he can step around akwardly I got a video of that. Really were just looking for him to plant his feet and stand in this thing.
BTW, the legs right now are were your gundam outfit is, I never realize that thing was foam btw. Amazing job.
Sorry none of what I said just made sense, still kinda groggy this morning.

>>7184866
Oh and btw, I really don't need anymore competition from you. Your fucking mechs are amazing, just putting that out there. I need to meet up with you and get a few lessons.

>>7184678
It's not a question of whether it's solid or not, it's just kinda done sloppy. Stuff like the feet, for example...they don't resemble the source material in anything but the most basic sense of being vaguely wedge-shaped. His legs don't even go down that far, there's not really anything stopping them from being more accurate. I'm not trying to hate on the guy, but if he's already attempting a project of that scale he may as well go the extra mile. Right now, what I'm seeing is someone investing a lot of time and effort into something they'll ultimately be sorta disappointed with because they didn't put in that little extra here and there. I've been there and it's a real shitty feeling.

>>7184962
>>7185019
Detail is vital on something that big. Making a huge suit is impressive, sure, but you're undermining your own efforts if you think making it gigantic is a substitute for accuracy and detail. Temjin's stuff is just as difficult to adapt to being worn by a person (as are basically all mecha and/or mecha-like things, because of weird proportions) but his attention to detail and accuracy is what makes his builds amazing.

It's a grand undertaking and I'm not trying to say you aren't putting in a great effort already, but I think you're gonna be a lot more satisfied with your finished product if you slow down and spend a little more time on the spit-and-polish now rather than later.

>>7181487
the sword better be fucking great because the rest of this is pretty darn shitty

More progress. Need to adjust the hearts a bit. The collar is sew on but needs to be pressed. The zippers are functional but lead to nothing. I should have made pockets but lol lazy. I started the "ribbing" she has on her clothes and I like it so far haha.

>>7185356
MAYA!!!!!!!!!

>>7185967
Haha yeah! I'm making her for Katsucon. I'll have an Ulala and a few other friends are doing P2 stuff too :3

Slowly making progress on my Alt-Eisen.

Arm on the left is the paper mockup, the right one is the final PVC version. Needs alot of sanding, painting and foam added inside but this part should be done by next weekend.

>>7185019
Im super curious to see that video you have of them in motion. Any chance of getting a private Youtube upload?

Im always down to hang out and talk shop drop me a line on FB sometime.

>>7186033

So do you just make cardstock mockups and then transfer the pattern over to PVC sheet?

Does it behave like paper? Do you have to heat it? How do you make connections?

>>7185229

Looking alright so far. If Worbla's as easy to form as it looks in that progress picture you posted in the other thread I'd definately use it. Although you'd probably need a thicker foam base than what you have now.

>>7186447
That is pretty much the gist of it yeah. Its time consuming but I like the results Ive gotten with this method so far.

It doesn't really behave like paper though so once its transferred you have to do quite a bit to get it to come together properly. Fold lines need to be scored and heated before they can be bent into place.

Since its thicker than paper edges that fold inward need to be shaved shorter at the ends so they still line up. Edges that meet I cut at a 45 degree angle so they meet up nice and flush. I sandwich a second layer of 1mm at corners and large planes to add extra strength as well.

Finally making some progress after what feels like forever! With the completion of the stays (Albeit not completely historically accurate. Fuck if I'm hand whipstitching eyelets, though), my underclothes for Marie are finished (I'll make a proper shift if I have time but I'm not counting on it)
The pannier is already starting to fall apart and misbehave, I'm desperately hoping putting a petticote and a dress over it will make it work but I'll most likely have to add a yoke or something, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Just finished pouring resin into my cast of this medal. I think the silicon I got is bad though because it refused to fully cure around the clay, ah well, I guess I'll see if it works. Need to get some new silicon though.

i'm in need of opinions. I'm wanting to make the jason todd domino mask from hush, and i've got an outline for it, every picture i've seen kind of changes drastically, and i'm not sure if what i have looks right. I'll post what i have here, and some shots from the comics after wards

>>7189044
heres one head on.

>>7189044
here's a couple from the side

>>7189044
Honestly, I think the outline you have the top points are a little high and the low point is a little low, like it overall needs to be thinner on the face? But the shape itself seems good.

>>7189044

Could you tell me where you got your face armature from? I've been considering making one of my face, but I think a professional grade one would be much better. Thanks~

>>7189079
i bought mine from monster makers. they're the first hit when you google them

>>7189065
how does this look? it's been scaled down a bit

>>7189086

I really appreciate that, thank you!

I've been working on the belt for my Raven cosplay.

I have 8 other red gems ready to be glued to the metal ring. I just have to find a nice gold chain for the belt now.

Also I painted my hand grey to see how it would look, just for the heck of it.

>>7189175
Oh yea looks much better to me!

>>7189268
Yes your hands are grey, but they're really flat looking. This may seem weird, but if you want them to look good you have to contour them, same as your face.

>>7189670
It's just some grey paint I had in my craft box, I need to buy actual body paint. (And I'll most definitely contour it!)

Do you know of a good body paint brand? Specifically one that won't cause breakouts on the face?

>>7189772
ben nye. or aqua color

>>7189670
Not sure if Raven has nail color or anything like that but maybe black nail polish would help it look a little less.... jarring and unnatural.

>>7189772
Loathe as I am to admit it, some of the better Homestuck cosplayers have the grey paint thing figured out to a T and then some. Google something like "homestuck grey paint" and see what you find - I remember seeing a guide going around at one point that seemed promising.

>>7189791
Homestuck reporting in with a few guidelines about facepaint.

As a general rule of thumb, facepaint is one of those "go cheap get cheap results" sorta things. You will want to avoid most things that are on sale after halloween as well as the majority of water based paints in favour of cream brands like ben nye, kryolan supracolour and idk if mehron has any cream make up but yeah. If you need to paint arms and legs I suggest using PAX.
Be aware that getting paint to stick to your hands is quite the bitch. I have yet to find a way that works so I usually just shoop mine afterwards so I wont have to deal with it. Also people get noticeable less hostile when they see that there is no risk of you greying down anything you touch.
There is also the alternative of armsocks which I've been looking into.
As for application, contouring is even more important and needs to be done even more dramatical than you usually would.
You will want to do at least one make up test, preferrably more. I'm just now starting to get it to look good and even after about seven rounds of greying up. Plus a few tests. On top of the facepaint you will wear regular make up. If you forfeit all else you will still want to darken your lips, mark your eyebrows and use mascara.
As for sealing - powder is your best buddy. Sealing spray is not 100% necesary (it makes the make up more comfortable to wear in my experience) and can make your facepaint "crumble" if used too carelessly. Powder, however, is absolutely neccesary.

As for tutorials, Silencedrowns has the "original ben nye troll make up tutorial" or something along those lines, I haven't seen anything super covering on PAX yet though.
Good luck!

OnT: fabric hunt. Sigh yay.

>>7186450
yeah, another anon advised me to use eva foam as a base, so here's what I got (needs some fine tuning still, but I'm fine with this)

Whatever happened to the anon posting progress on Satsuki/Junketsu? I wanna see how that turned out.

Sage for not actually posting progress.

>>7190516

I'd been planning it for PMX, but the dress was giving me trouble, so I decided to shoot for ALA instead of rushing something I wasn't happy with. I need to find some better fabric first.

Maya's blouse is pretty much finished, and I;m pretty happy with it! Still the skirt, and tie left to do!

>>7188915
Nice looking panniers! Did you use a pattern or just wing it? I need to make a pair of my own for this winter.

Finally shelled out the money to finish my Kevin ryman cosplay

Working on a Tiny Tina cosplay at the moment.

I finished the mask first (minus the blood spatters, those I need to set out some time for), what do you guys think?

I've never made anything like this before. It's my first time making a prop of any kind.

>>7191043
>I've never made anything like this before. It's my first time making a prop of any kind.

Its pretty rough tbh. You should've done more sanding and smoothing before you painted it.

>>7190757
>P2 cosplay
yesssssssssss
also looking great so far

>>7191061
It's paper mache on top of a mask, actually. I know it's rough, I'm not happy with it but again I've literally never made a prop that's 3D, I've only sewn things.

>>7191043
I can't judged you to hard it is your first time... but... the mouth part is my only complainant

>>7191043
>>7191061
>>7191098
Well I guess my other question would be, would it really be that noticeable that it isn't great once it's part of a whole cosplay?

This is the character, if you guys aren't familiar with it.

>>7191161
...it's pretty bad seeing the reference. Perhaps marginally less likely to be commented on because it's on the side of her head, but you've definitely got that 2nd grade art project motif going on. You want things to be as smooth and symmetrical as possible before paint. And you've painted some of the details that should really be 3D (like around the nose).

>>7191181
I'm assuming she did that because that's the style of the game

>>7190765
I'm using patterns from Reconstructing History. The patterns expensive and super vague but every time I've interacted with the company has been a complete joy.

>>7190757
whatever you've used for ribbing looks terrible

>>7191072
Thanks!

>>7191665
How so?

>>7191934
Whoops sage on my phone

Adding the brass-binding to the Medicine Seller's tansu. Tried sheet metal, but the thicknesses I could work with looked really cheap, so I'm getting rid of my Sintra stash. Awwww yeah, real drawers~
Ignore the utter hash job that is the eye motif, I'm in the process of redoing it. Engraved it, gold-leafed it, and then decided that I hated it.

>>7191934
I think I know what they mean about the ribbing: the bottom panel, right? It looks like you patterned it as a rectangle. To look like the reference, it has to be patterned like a conic section. Like a peplum but not ruffly.

>>7191983
Hmmm fair enough. For the hearts they were probably a bit more narrow to accommodate for the round shape of the heart while I didn't really do that. But to me at least along the chest and arms the shapes were more rectangle looking.

>>7189032
What kind of clay did you use? Sulfur inhibits silicone from curing, and I've also had bad luck with silicone molds of epoxy clay either never curing or gluing themselves to the positive.

While not exactly a WIP I did finally get in my chest piece today. Will be getting an undersuit soon and will start getting upgrades from there.

>>7192856
It's so weird seeing that with jeans, and I also strongly suspect you look like Chuck Norris under that mask.

>>7192884
sorry it's casual batday here. and I look nothing like the chuckster. more like zach braff or tom green

>>7192899
What about Seth Green? I can also see Seth Green.

>>7192905
definatly not seth.

>>7190787
Oh shit some fucking outbreak cosplay!

lisa skirt done. kinda big.

>>7193360
so you're gonna remake that right?

your drape is atrocious, it's pulling horribly on the vent seams, and your white seems way too wide.

>>7191043
Unfortunately yea I think it'd be quite noticeable.
I think the main problem is that it's not symmetrical and is very rough.

Did you use a plastic mask as a base of just go at it by eye?

It's not horrible terrible prop but it definitely isn't stellar

>>7193371
yeah, i had the same feelings about the white panels once i double checked with a reference. and ill see wht i can do about the pulling seams!

Thanks for the concrit, despite the tone.

>>7193360
The bunching happens because your darts are sewn too far down. Also to get the pleats to lay down nicer turn it inside out and sew down the edge of the pleats. Keeps them crisper and helps when pressing. One of the best skirt making guides I've seen is actually the kilt making guide at xmarksthescot.com

>>7192770
I used an oil based clay, but I've used it before for at least two other silicon molds and it's never been a problem? That's why I think it's the silicon, but I'm just not sure.

I dyed stuff, I guess.

>>7193360
okay, I tried to fix my skirt to the advice. I redid the 'bad' seam on my skirt, and I think it looks miles better and now I feel I have to redo every seam, haha.

I also brought in the white stripes, which look better, but could look better. the hemline is hella wonky too, so I need to fix that too. luckily I have plenty of time.

>>7195176
looks better. the hem should probably be re-marked with you wearing it. I'd probably bring it down most of an inch if you have enough in there for it because your legs aren't as long as kaneko draws them.

Currently making the summoners grimoire from the FFXIV: ARR. I changed the length of the worbla on the spine, so its shorter now then when I took the photo. What has me stumped is the buckle/lock, any suggestions on how to go about it would be very helpful.

>>7191043
Tiny Tina anon here again.

I made her bracelet/watch thing and the button on her shirt. Are these any better than the mask? Do I have any potential or should I just stop trying?

>>7195534
Never stop trying. Ever. Fuck you for even saying you should give up. I would rather see somebody work hard and make something, and learn from their mistakes and go on to make better things, over all the exact same perfect looking bought props out there.

Keep working on it. If people give you crap for looking like shit, fuck them. At least you are actually trying to work hard and create something.

>>7195542
Thanks, anon. I'm just afraid to do a bad job (which is dumb, I've never made a cosplay before so I'm not going to be perfect the first time, I know) because people will post my pictures everywhere and make fun of me.

I'm going to be proud of myself if I finish this and I'm going to want to post it, but I just don't want to be mocked.

>>7195550
All artists run the risk of being mocked. You just have to learn how to take valid criticism over shit-flinging and you will be fine.

Don't let the criticisms of other people ever stop you from doing something you love. Unless that thing is crack-cocaine. Then you probably should listen to the criticisms of other people and stop that shit

>>7195552
Fuck you whore don't judge me.

Spent some time working on a chainsword, at least the planning stage. As i can't decide on the size, thanks to every ref beeing completely different.

And the lack of references when it comes to non marines using them. Too scared to post pictures off it because its just cardboard and foam in the rough shape so i can easily reshape it.

>>7195745
I can see wwhy refs for anything from warhammer would be hard to judge since all those guys are huge. Id recommend you make a few simple cut outs in cardboard and see how they look scale wise on you in a mirror. I used a similar method for an Excalibur I made a few years ago.

>>7195289
Wow, looks awesome!
Would totally use some plastic hinges or build some for the lock and close the lock then with some super magnets. Btw you can hinges pretty easy with some Worbla and a thin metal or platic stick.

>>7195289

What about 2 thin brass hinges for the belt, and worbla for the details over them? You could attach magnets at the ends so they snap close as well.

>>7195753

Thanks for the tip with the mirror... i feel dumb now about not thinking about it myself. Lenght is fine at around 1m from pommel to tip, i got the rough shape down as well at least proportion wise. Time to start thinking about materials, as its the first time im making a sword or anything that should look like metal.

All i know how to make is paper miniatures.

>>7195853
For this I used cardboard filled with hot glue and chopped cardboard covered in miliput to make the pommel and cross guard. Its heavy but very tough stuff. The blade is from a nerf sword. You could make a decent blade from yours out of EVA foam I think. I recommend foam for blades so you dont have to worry about anyone grabbing your prop and hitting anyone as much.

This was the first thing I ever made back in 2008.

>>7195853
Chainswords are great when they're cartoonishly huge! 1m length sounds really great, can't wait to see some progress!

On the 40k note, I'm re-making some Lelith Hesperax armour at the moment. My previous armour was pretty hit-and-miss, so I'm replacing some of the styrene pieces (both vacformed and shaped by hand) with a wonderflex/worbla/foam combo. Bracer base pictured, new and old. Lot of filler needed, but the base is done, and much lighter and more comfortable now.

>>7195771
>>7195845
Thanks guys. I was thinking about hinges, but I was unsure if that's what I should do. gonna go research some more~

>>7195967
>1m long
jesus woman. You realize you need to cart this thing around. Not everyone wants to carry shit around all day with them, which is why props are often really light or scaled down.

>>7196092
but >>7195967 suggested 1m for himself

>>7196092
Jesus, anon. You realize 1m is the scale they already have. P.S lift more

>>7196092
One meter is really not all that long for a prop. I've made multiple swords longer than that, it ain't no thing. People make props light or scaled down 'cause they afraid.

>>7196072
Little decorative hinges (jewelry box type ones) are really awesome, they look great on props.

>>7195534
it looks pretty good for your first cosplay, but the ears on the watch are a bit too high and a bit too large. I don't think people will really notice though

>>7186033
Revolving Stake for my Alt-Eisen is pretty much done. Needs some foam added for stability and comfort.

I may come back later when the whole suit is done to weather with my airbrush it but I like my mecha with a 'fresh off the assembly line' look so I haven't decided yet.

>>7186033
Revolving Stake for my Alt-Eisen is pretty much done.

The spike is made from Styrofoam covered in 1MM eva coated in Plasti-Dip. I wanted it to be somewhat soft since I dont want to risk hurting someone at a con with it. I still need to coat it in some Plasti-Dip metallic silver enhancer to give it the proper look but I have to order that in the mail.

The arm itself still needs some adjusting inside for space and needs some foam added for stability and comfort.

I may come back later when the whole suit is done to weather with my airbrush it but I like my mecha with a 'fresh off the assembly line' look so I haven't decided yet.

>>7196713

Oh man, looking great for now. Im actually hyped to see the complete finished cosplay.

>>7192856
And now I have a temporary strapping system for my chest piece. I'll be sad to remove it to get it glued down to an undersuit, as going to the bathroom isn't that much a chore in this currently.

Will be swapping parts out as I do upgrades, but as everything tends to run in the 100 to 300 dollar range, that shit takes time, so I'll be getting small upgrades here and there.

>>7196713

Do you come up with the templates yourself? Or do you use Pepakura?

>>7197421
I'm using pep files for the majority of this build. The model in question is by Ette who does alot of high quality mecha papercraft. This one is an almost prefect replica of the 1/100 kit that Kotobukiya made a few years ago. Naturally I heavily modified it to work as basis for a costume. The only things that will be free-handed are likely the biceps and thighs since those have to be redesigned to be anywhere near comfortable,

Been awhile since I posted, I had to completely undo my progress on my older piece and ended up starting from scratch. This is what I have so far, front piece of a 6-1 full hauberk the individual lines aren't connected yet but that should be all I need so far for the initial stages.

Repeat that for the back, and then sleeves. I have a long way to go.

>>7198133
wrong pic, this is the right one.

Working on redoing my Pipboy 3000
I think its coming along nicely.

So we're going to ignore the fact that I continued the ruffles under the arm, where the sleeves will eventually attach. I sewed together most of my bodice.

My problem is, why is the front puckering so bad? It's not a seam, there shouldn't be any stress there. IT got like that when I sewed the middle strip on, before I attached it to the bodice, and I've tried pressing it a couple times.

This is my first time drafting my own bodice pattern from scratch, and my first time sewing in bra caps, so sorry for dumb stuff. It's also currently pinned on both sides, one seam needs taken in, the other is where the zip will go, so that looks a little wonky?

>>7200448
It could be a tension problem, or you were pulling too much when you were sewing it on.

>>7200448
Looks like it might be a bit tight across the boobs making it pucker. Also if that white stripe is bias tape instead of on the grain, that could do it.

>>7200448
The fabric looks kind of flimsy in the picture. Interfacing might help with the puckering you're talking about.

>>7200448
it seems to be too tight cross your boobs and too loose around your waist. Madoka is kind of shapeless, so a straight silhouette ( just a little bit marked around your waist) would make you look more like her I guess.

I guess I should be particularly clear that I mean the small puckering on the white stripe of the bodice. I think it might be a tension issue? I'm still a little confused because I don't have puckered seams or anything.

>>7200493

It's 2 layers of quilting and a layer of cotton sateen so I don't think it's a flimsyness issue?
>>7200472
On the grain sateen, but it puckers evenly and consistently down the front of the bodice. I don't think it would do that if it was because of the tightness in the chest? It definitely is somewhat tight there, but it's all hand-dyed fabric and I don't have room to let out in the seams unfortunately. I'm hoping that when I install the zip it frees up a little more room on top, because right now I just awkwardly struggled to pin it on top.


>>7200798
Working on the waist part too.

>>7200815
If it's just the stripe that you're worried about the puckering, based on what you've said, it's probably a thickness/tension issue. You can totally stop the puckering by sewing it on by hand. Otherwise you're going to have to play with your machine settings a bit to change the tension, and if you can, you may need to adjust the pressure on the presser foot. Make sure you sew the sides always in the same direction (top to bottom) so that the fabric is being pulled in the same direction, and GO SLOW.

>>7201374
>Make sure you sew the sides always in the same direction (top to bottom) so that the fabric is being pulled in the same direction

Not the anon you're replying to, but damn. I have never thought of this before. This might explain some things.

Never tried worbla before but I tried to keep the surface as smooth as possible. Sorry if it looks kinda shabby for a first attempt!

And sorry the photo quality is potato. New phone coming in soon.

haven't been able to work on much lately, but i think i've got most of the asymmetries out of the mask. need to a bit of a fix up around the eye area, but once that's done it's on to smoothing it out and maybe molding.

>>7199351
How does one simply "redo" a pull purchased from someone else?
Sand it a bit more?

>>7183846
>what the cover art made it look like
>what it actually looks like in gamebyro

>>7202986
Aww, someone piss in your cornflakes this morning?

Contrary to all the "I hate people who buy pieces because it takes no effort" groups, just because you get a resin cast of something doesn't mean its perfect right off the bat.

Sanding, sure is one part of it, but there is also seam filling, bondo work, adjusting edges that aren't quite right. Electronics in the pip boy alone could take quite a while if you want to do it right.

started using plastidip on all my pieces, and not pictured but i cut the base of leona's shield out of insulation foam last night (ignore the weeaboo pyjamas)

Got some sewing progress done, but now I'm trying to figure out if the caplet is too long, I'll probably debate over it a while before attaching it to the robe part. (Ignore the seam pulling weird on the robe it's doing that because the dress form it's on isn't my size).

>>7204450
shitty 3ds photo powers activate!

>>7205316
That's not 07-Ghost, is it? I'm trying to figure out what it's from. And what type of material is it? It looks like a cotton, but it is twill, kona, etc.?

>>7205344
Definitely is 07 Ghost! And it's ssportswsr twill.

>>7205539
*sportswear sorry on moblie

Slowly working on Ryuko. I'm really enjoying not having a deadline, gives me more time to make things look nice. (collar/bikini thing are just pinned on for now)

>>7202986
I got this from Stony Props I believe, he does good work.

No, when I say "redo" I mean take out all the electronics and put in new ones - redo the paint job and stuff. Just try to make it look a little better.

Please forgive my messy bed. I'm trying to get these things gessoed and done by tomorrow so I can work more on the body. My harness needs more straps but my buckles are playing hid and seek.

>>7207132
What character is this for?

Either way, you're going to want to adjust those boob cups -- they're very noticeably asymmetrical and messy as they are right now.

>>7205539
I love you for cosplaying 07-Ghost! I do think the cape is a little too long, but otherwise it looks really good.

>>7207508
Miranda and yeah, I know. It seems that I have a problem with making boob cups. I'm going to try and fix it before I add the designs on it.

>>7207132
You should have made those wing parts more curved. they look like huge guitar necks

>>7207621

I love you so much, anon.
Someday I will make Rose when I actually know what the fuck I'm doing with armor.

>>7207788
I assumed they were guitar necks.

Which would actually be an interesting character design.

Imagine, rockband-themed mechs.

More progress on my swords.

>>7208232
why didn't you fix the bits where it doesn't line up for shit when you laminated it before painting?

>>7207577
I love you for even recognizing 07-Ghost! Thanks! I was pretty sure it looked long to me but having someone else give me some input helps. I'll definitely make the cape shorter before I put the collar on.

Made a little bag for my Meruru cosplay. All it needs is a fastening for it to attach to my back but I'll sort that out when I've done the dress.
Apologies for the bad photos

>>7209414
if your stitches are closer together it will help eliminate the puckering and waving on the trim

>>7209428
Thank you! Luckily the trim can be easily picked off and resewn so I can do that pretty quickly

>>7184610
This really is plain compared to Gundam and Bumblebee cosplayers I've seen.

>>7209441
if you're going to take it off and redo entirely, you'll get better results if you stretch it around the corners harder (I'm assuming it's bias cut and will stretch) if you just want to fix it up, you can run another line of stitches around the edges.

>>7200448
I think the problem is you're too fat to be cosplaying Madoka, that's why its puckering.

>>7209639
this.

>>7209577
Thanks again!

>>7208232
man, those finger holes look so uneven..
but you'll be holding the swords for a majority of the time so I guess no one will notice.

>>7180222
what are these made of?
The materials look bumpy/uneven.

Rare moment of me posting in a progress thread. Testing out my wig and headband

Ashe bow put together! Still going to fiddle with it a bit before painting it and putting the gems on. I'm doing Queen Ashe so the bow is shaped a little differently than on her original skin.

>>7211055
Head band is nicely done but the wig needs to be noticeably styled to the right, if you notice Rohan's hair is too cool for gravity and dawdles off of his head to in one specific directon

Bonus points for posing though

>>7211246
Thanks for the feedback, I'm really proud of the headband as I raked my brain on how to get it right. I was using his ASB model as a reference for where to part the hair so I combed it to the left but I forgot about h ow I was looking at a mirror when I did things. Real deal is gonna have product and I was just seeing if the base wig is good enough hence why you see it as is. I'm trying to figure out how to style it on a wig head as I need the headband in place as a reference and my foam head is too small.

>>7211295

Nearly finished with Ryuko. (Have since added the "belt" and ironed the skirt, left picture is a liiittle older) Need to think of a good way to attach the side pieces

>>7211344
Looks good, though the "breast plate" looks kind of awkward just being attached to the front imo even if that's how it is in the anime

>>7211350
Not really sure what you mean by just at the front?

>>7211210
Looking good! Just as a question, are you going to cover the foam with anything to give it more strength or just paint it as is?

>>7211210
Wooaahh it looks great, what is it made from? I want to cosplay Caitlyn but have no idea how to make the rifle..

I need some suggestions... I'm making lina but the thought of walking around in essentially bare feet is disgusting to me, what's the best option since taping cardboard to my feet would be pretty tacky?

>>7211949
http://andsewingishalfthebattle.com/invisible-shoes
Would this tutorial be of any use?

>>7211951

awesome, I don't know why I didn't figure this would be a more common issue

thanks!

>>7211344
Magnets maybe, if that's made out of thermoplastics?

>>7211914

Googled pink panther and foam. Looks like standard styrodur insulation foam to me. Can be bought in green and pink. Easy to shape if you have some nice tools and somewhat hard. Just need to seal it before painting it with any non water based colours so it wont melt.

>>7212032
Oh.. Im from this kind of underdeveloped shitty country so i think that thing doesent exsist here..
thanks anyways, i think im going to make it from just foam and carboard...

>>7212109
It's just pink insulation foam for housing, even if you live in an underdeveloped country you still might be able to find it if you can find a store that sells things to build houses?

i´m working on some jetstream sam , its proving to be quite a pain in the ass to work with foam as the starting point ...if the suit didnt need to be fairly flexible i would have gone full syntra on this baby...

>>7211669
Thank you! Yeah I'm going to add a bunch of layers of gesso to it since I'm going to do a base paint with spray paint. I put a dowel in between the pieces while I added the handle so it wouldn't be flimsy.

>>7211914
Thank you! It's made out of pink insulation foam which you can get at any home improvement place. I got a sheet at home depot. The come in different thicknesses too for like $20. I carved out the shape and then sanded the fuck out of it. You can really make any shape you want out of it. The sheets are really big like 8 feet long because they are usually used to put in walls. It's really messy too but I love it for making props.

>>7211344
Great progress. It looks superb so far. Are you still working on "lewd mode", too? I remember you posting pics of the shoulder armour in progress.

>>7207621

Yay, some love for Dragoon.

>>7212188
Dude, I fucking love MGR. Good luck with that bro, looking forward to the sword.
Hell I'm actually thinking of just making the sword just for kicks; I can't cosplay him since I'm not buff enough.

Anyways, more titan shit. Reached a milestone today by getting about 80% of this piece done and everything major bolted together. Still gotta touch up some stuff.
Working with it is such a pain since it's so unbalanced as fuck.
I stole an idea from another anon here and put fans on the sides instead. Mines aren't static though and will be powered by an airsoft battery that'll go for 5.5 hours straight.

Everything is modular also, can disassemble with just your hands/no tools. I can replace the fan, take off the arms, etc. I'm a gun nut so "field stripping" feature just kind of came naturally.

>>7212188
I wish you the best, anon. MGR is awesome and I hope your Jetstream Sam cosplay turns out nicely.

>>7214254
this looks heavy with metal bolts, and wood?

>>7214923

It's not bad compared to the rest of the gear I've made and worn for cons already (I have complete manga gear that I'm slowly replacing with anime version parts). The only metal are the bolts and brackets, which are nothing. It's mostly wood, sintra, and styrene. I chose wood simply to try it out because this is only my second prop set ever and I always wanna try new stuff. I understand it's not the best choice, lol.

So due to shit coming up I won't be able to complete Ashe for this weekend and will just have to wait until the next con to wear her. So I'm doing a last minute Panty cosplay just to have something to wear. The wig is the wrong color I know but I'm happy with how it's going so far. I'm going to be adding in a bunch of layers and spiking them as well.

>>7214254
>>7214261
just for you , my muramasa , i wanted to finish it for a con , so i could have something to fool around , so its done with grey foam instead of black , and lacks the screws and the name plate , but for the final suit they will be added

>>7215727

>>7188915
What did you use for the hoops? I'm looking for something lighter than sprinkler hose but not hula hoops.

>>7215518
>monster high dolls
You have good taste. Where do you get yours?

>>7211210
Oh, this looks really cool! Love you symmetrical and clean you was able to shape it!

Some random progress of my next project, a Diablo III Crusader. This costume will be really heavy!

>>7216536
you make worbla look way easier to use than it actually is ;_;

put the sword together with dowel screws (missing two spikes because i still have to router the edges) and chiselled out the middle

>>7216546
Ah, it's just experience. I'm already working for around 4 years with Worbla and Wonderflex. Bet you are also better in wood working, sewing, or other things!

>>7216536
I read that as dildo III like 5 times

Obviously you've never seen a real tripfag circlejerk, it'd make you throw up.

>>7217528
>looks good
Did you remove your trip to respond to this?

>>7217630
The sword looks simple, but it looks even and smooth. I'm not sure what the source material is so I can't say if it's accurate or not, but I don't see what's bad about it.

>>7217632
It's not even accurate or even close to being. You can already tell by the shape, regardless of future add-ons.

>>7217521
It looks pretty good so far, may I ask what it's from?

>>7217648

>not even close

Its pretty darn fucking close. I have no idea why you feel the need to needlesly flame, dont you have some drama threads to attend?

If you want you can always post you know, actually constructive criticism, like pointing out wich parts of the sword look wrong. And from what i have seen, the generall shape is pretty ok, except the sword would have to be a bit stretched out to be spot on with the 1 drawing you have posted.

>>7217648
Eh, I'll change my good to an okay then. It looks squished in comparison to the reference picture, but if they're using wood I can see why they would want to make things scaled down a bit. Proportions are still kinda off, though.

>>7217655
Thank you! The costume is going to be Jotun Loki, because my friends are doing a Thor group and I don't look enough like any character, so I though 'I could be blue, sure'.

the design itself if from the Siberian mummy Ukok. Her tattoos have always been a favorite, and I think they'll be a nice addition to the jotun culture.

Oh another shitty loki... please continue.

>>7217944
I'm having fun, I will.

just finished up a snorlax beanbag for a friend so comfy :)

>>7218335
This is awesome. Can you tell me, did you wing it or start with some sort of pattern?

>>7218335
Oh my goodness that's awesome! Nice job anon

>>7218335
Oh man, I didn't know I needed one of these until now. Nice job!

>>7217921
Why should a girl who looks like an out of shape and middle aged British housewife even be a threat to anyone? Workout, pleb.

>>7218335
I wanted to make one for my boyfriend a while ago! Also curious if you had a pattern or not.

>>7218345
>>7218381
>>7218354
>>7218357

thanks!
I started with a basic bean bag pattern: http://www.sewing.org/html/beanbag.html
his belly is part of the pattern
and then winged the extra bits. :)
so size ref: I'm 5ft.

Trying to finish old abandoned projects, UGH.
Endrance's (.hack//GU) starting equipment sword. This has been sitting around my house since July 2011, I finished the rest of the costume for Otakon that year but spent too much time on my Haseo's armor to finish the props. Have been unmotivated to work on it, because after looking at the art-book scans I saw the shape wasn't quite right.
Finished shaping the handle and cut the support out of the basket hilt.

>>7216546
>>7217648
Yeah if you want concrit....

>tip of the blade should widen out more then it does
>base of the blade should have a longer expansion into sharper contraction

Did you really even look at the source before you started?

>>7215821
Aha thank you! I mostly get them at Walmart and Target since TRU jacks up prices. Just got the Sweet 1600 Frankie since she was $12! I think I have 27 dolls now.

>>7218412
Welp.
Looks like I'll be making a beanbag soon.

>>7218362
nah m8 i like cookies 2 much

>>7218742
i appreciate the concrit, i do plan on remaking it eventually out of a lighter material, so I'll keep that stuff in mind next time. and hey, for my first time working with wood it's not awful, and for that I'm glad

>>7189268
How'd you make the gems? They look really good

>>7207132
the thumbnail made me think you were building a VOTOMS cosplay

Welp, that time of year again. Stay inside and craft during the winter. Makeing a Skaven warlock engineer. I usually do handsom knights and stuff, but this time I wanted to be a monster. This is just the start of the face. I'll be adding more horror elements as soon as the bare bones are set (really needs more teeth, and I need to wear it more to get a feel for where I should patch up the cheeks.).

I'll be making digitigrade stilts, probably putting me at 7'. I've got plenty of warpstone (quartz crystals) to add and wounds to put on him. But I think I'm on the right track. Let me know what you think.

Robe a la Français back pleats are done and the skirt side pieces are pinned in place. Still have to finish that, the bodice and sleeves before next thursday. The petticote and stomacher can be done over winter break. I'm currently cursing myself for such an ambitious project. Oh well, even If I can't get it done before finals I can still have it ready for Katsucon. Hopefully the petticote will smooth out the visible boning issue.

>>7224732
Is this for a class? Looks amazing.

>>7224735
It's a combination of for a class and for cosplay purposes.

Also I apologize for forgetting to resize my photo before posting. Sometimes I forget how huge iPad photos are.

I still have work to do on this, but I started from wire framing last night and now it's at this point.

>>7224732
Holy fuck those panniers are intense. Your workspace looks really nice, too.

idk why the right one looks so lumpy in this picture, they're pretty smooth irl (have to fix the clay bits)

>>7224754
This looks cool. Whats it for?

Almost done. Glue gun broke on me so I can't attach the collar or gems until I go home next week.

>>7229695
You might want to work a bit on your seams. Particularly on the chest piece, and to a lesser extent where some of the foam shapes meet up.

>>7229700

Any advice on how to hide the seams where the craft foam meets? Can't do anything about the gaps where I cut off some of the boob cup worbla until I go home (L200 foam is there).

Took a break from stressful graduation stuff and cut my new Mamimi wig and did a makeup test. I cut a shit ton off of it, thinned it out a lot, and tried to style it a bit. I am def going back in the bangs and thinning them out some more and fucking around with the (my) left side bangs since I don't like it. Probably gonna curl up the bottom a little more too.

NO MORE COSPLAY FOR ME UNTIL FRIDAY THOUGH. Then I'm done with school forever and cosplay all the time for the next month. I'm so excited to start working on cosplay again after so long.

>>7229845
I don't know why but your face makes me want to punch you. Like a lot, like until I'm slamming your head on the ground and punching you until your nose is bleeding.
It's not that you're unattractive or anything, I just really want to punch the shit out of you for some reason.

So we're a group of us are going as Hunter's from "The Last of Us."

And for the most part, it seems like an easy cosplay. We've got the prop weapons and molotovs set up. Most of the clothing is already worn and 'zombified' to the point of perfection.

But what I'm most interested in the armor they don. I've been looking online, and for the most part it looks like they just put on motorcycle armor. I was thinking of just hopping on ebay, buy the cheapest sets and buffing it out a bit.

What do you think, seagulls?

>>7229856

Wrong pic.

But you get the idea.

>>7229845

i saw this pic on the homescreen

i guess i being rude by asking, but fuck that's never really stopped me before, are you a guy or a girl?

>>7229849
I hope we never cross paths then anon because I fight about as well as a marshmallow and I don't want to bleed.

>>7229873
I am a lady.

>>7229883

ah got it, my bad

just seen too many dudes posting as girls or in transitioning to girls so I got skeptical

the wig, your pale complexion, and round eyes made me think you were a young man (<21)

So I have started to paint the bottom of my Suika skirt. However the screen paint doesn't cover completely, so I'm thinking of using acrylic paint on the second layer. I know that will make it a bit stiff but It will probably cover better than the Screen paint... also this is such boring to do. It's a circle skirt so I have to paint like five meters of this, and I've barely finished 1/5 of it....

Got commissioned to make winter soldier's arm from the new captain america movie. I finished most of the base construction, now it just needs a little touch up and detailing, then it should be ready for paint.

I don't know about the paint issue, but couldn't you use a larger brush, or even a roller, on the bottom of the design?

I would also recommend checking out that easy screenprinting tutorial lying around somewhere.

any paint you use will require you to do more than one coat. You are painting white on a dark surface. You will probably also have some inconsistency because you are hand painting. If you want a clean even coat do a stencil or legitimate screen print. Since screen printing would cost you a ton look at freezer paper stencil method.

started remaking my weevil jacket out of a more cotton-y fabric (rather than the broadcloth monstrosity I had before)

What's the best way to get a design on a stretchy bodysuit? I want do some simple lines of carrying thicknesses but I want to avoid having cracked painted on lines. -

you need to line your upper waterline, friend!

Been a long time. After a lot of moving around and shuffling my feet, I'm back to work on Archangel Imperius. The bottom section of his helmet is nearly done!
Now I need to start building and attaching the crown to the top of this. Made entirely out of Sintra.

I'm so jello of your bags.

More work on Alt-Eisen.

The 3 barrel auto-cannon arm is pretty much complete. The cannons light up, move and make sound. Wiring for this took much longer than I thought.

Here is a video of it in action. One of the cannons till sticks a bit but I think its just a case of the batteries running low. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9H5wKztYsc

Time to get started on the torso and skirt armor.

Anon... you really need to learn how to tell the difference on your own, it's not that difficult.
>features which appear rounder/softer
>fuller lips
and most importantly
>higher brows with a softer brown line lacking any distinguishable "ridge"
