I tried a new painting technique. But I can't apparently paint swirls, so this came out way more retarded.

Oh well. I'm covering it with flowers, so hopefully that'll compensate for something.

That looks really nice! Maybe consider adding some boning to support the entire thing and keep it from bunching/sagging at the waist.

[Oshi !DOOP/Abchk No.6324898]

Got a majority of Kirito's shirt done last night. Had to stop for soccer, then seamrip two sleeve halves because I put them on upside-down...

I think I have a problem. I was just going to single-stitch every seam, because pfft, it's barely going to be seen under the coat, but after reattaching the sleeves, I had the compulsive urge to serge and topstitch everything. And so I did. And I am content.

what the hell.

[Anonymous No.6325665]

I finished all the hearts and the third eye. All that's left is attaching the cords to everything, which I'm still sort of figuring out. So far I was thinking of using brass wire and stuffing for body, but stuffing such a small tube is hard...

I also finished the wig a few days ago. All that's left is buying some slippers and new makeup and I'll be ready for Akicon!

[LilyS !xMkcrwLxwE No.6325696]

Paint test for barbarian "belt buckle". Still trying to find best way to make the armor. Liking the fiberglass casting technique I've been using, but might start layering the strips directly onto the plasticine mold instead of fucking about with the rubber negative mold + fiberglass positive I used for this. Added a bajillion coats of gesso, which I've never worked with before. The acrylic went on perfectly but is now drying and showing white still, so I will add several more layers before testing out anything else. It's not Kamui-tier yet but getting closer!

[Anonymous No.6325764]

>>6323273
For a bodice, I would have gone for something and either lined it/put support in, or just gone with 4 way stretch to really get it to fit properly. It is definitely too loose as it is now, I don't know the character so I could be wrong about that. The design is really cute!

[alpaca !TmNv4e2Q8s No.6325783]

>>6323557
>>6325764
Boning it is! Good thing I didn't trim the seams yet.
Four way stretch wasn't available to me, and I made a lined version, but that looked terrible. It's actually a fairly snug fit, which is bizarre since I gained weight, and still needed to take it in.
Thank you guys for the advice!

digitigrade legs for my faun druid.. holy balls. Still have to shape all the foam, add a few more pieces near the ankle, and fix the hooves. I only have one layer of clay on there right now. Im scared to start sewing these..

[Zrana No.6325848]

>>6325821
It's a zombie wing, I figured it didn't have to be pretty. Plus I was using random things I already had, which limited me. If I wanted pretty I would have went shopping for better supplies, because the feather I had on hand certainly wouldn't have been my first choice for a proper wing.

That said, this is also the first wing I have ever made. I'm kind of proud of it for that. Just faked it as I went.

Lilith top progress with the jacket. Jacket still hasn't had the fluffy collar sewn on (ALL HAND SEWING COMES LAST, ALWAYS).

Top needs a zipper, adding a few bits near the top of the arms, distressing and sharpie errywhere, but otherwise it's fitted at least.

Thanks! Yeah, the irony is I've been too busy to play much Borderlands as I've been making this dumb costume. I think I'm about half way currently, meh. I'll get around to buying Gaige after next week, pretty sure I got enough points saved.

Outside of Moxxi's (who is probably one of my not so favourite characters tbh) a lot of the other characters don't get cosplayed so much. I'm really looking forward to the anon who said they were going to cosplay Ellie. I would love to see that in person so much. Also Captain Scarlett, hnngg.

Yeah what anon said, Lawl. Also to answer the top query, it's made out of a burgundy colour leatherette (since I didn't like the tshirt fabric other people seemed to use). Specifically it's this but I'm not sure you'll want to spend money on leatherette from the UK:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160831976523?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I haven't put boning in it yet. Debating, seems kind of pointless since the design shows it screwed up at the bottom, but oh well (it forms to me better than the dress form but yeah.. not posting pictures of me wearing it again). Otherwise, aside from the zipper which I need to go get tomorrow, done. Now just one millionty things to go. :'(

So it's 95% covered with Celluclay. Why is sanding such a bitch? I mean I don't have much sanding experience but the more I sand some spots the more shallow crevices I make.

Use finer sandpaper. You can never go too fine if you're finishing a surface.

What grit are you using? Do what this guy said, and go mad fuckin' extreme with it if you have to.

I do a finish run with 2500 grit; you can hardly tell the stuff is even sandpaper but it makes the surface silky smooth. Also make sure you stop and clear the surface of dust frequently, especially when using really high-grit paper.

[Crimson !BroTusMC/E No.6331533]

[Anonymous No.6331540]

Oh yeah, 120's definitely too much for a finish sanding, especially with soft materials. You're gonna want at LEAST 400, if not more.

Should have said, but if you can't find really fine sandpaper, try automotive departments/part stores. They've got the best selection.

If you want a really fine finish buy some steel wool. Get two types: one rough, one fine.

I think it's... okayish... considering I had no idea wtf I was doing, I didn't know how to properly into marking my design, and I think I was making up stitches there on the J.

the rest of my progress for this one is an unstyled wig, a purchased shirt and sweatervest, piles of tweed, some socks that I think I'm going to replace before I paint, and a lot of crying.

25/26. It's 25" now because I've been sick and not eaten much in over a week. It doesn't get lower than that though, I have a long torso and a long rib cage. But thanks! I guess it's just fitted well.

I'm a weird inverted triangle shape which is actually the opposite to Lilith since she's more of a pear with long legs. So I'm going to wear boots with heels, hope the belts make my hips look bigger and wish for the best..

As for the top (and all the garments) I should be doing more weathering. Possibly going to test out using sandpaper, possibly using acrylic paints for highlights.

[Anonymous No.6334478]

>>6334468
I was reading a tutorial about that and they mentioned acetone... not sure that would work with leatherette though.

Have you considered padding your hips a bit? People do it all the time with boobs, no reason not to with hips. After having used sandpaper you could perhaps try drybrushing. If you have some leftover you could try there and see how it goes. I'm just musing though, never tried myself.

[ai-honey !eEQ3LJoZmM No.6334538]

>>6334478
Yeah, I'll try it out if the trousers/belts don't help the illusion. My hips aren't weirdly small (34") or anything so should be ok.

Yeah I have a few things to try out on some scrap leatherette, I'm not sure which is going to work out best. I'll probably pansy out and do the most minimal amount of weathering tbh since I don't have time to ruin and remake anything, Lol. I have a nailvarnish remover with acetone so I can see if it does anything neat.. the yellow cut up top will be tea stained, I think, at the very least.

I reallly love these lenses and I'm so happy they turned out bright! My big concern with this cosplay was the wig and necklace. I had to weft the pink into this wig, and it was my first time doing so, so I hope I did an okay job with it. The necklace I put all those gems on one at a time since I couldn't figure out any other way to do it. If you guys could tell me what I could fix up about it I would totally appreciate it!

Lol, read the part where I said "And yeah.. they're too dark brown for my liking. Gonna work on changing that.", I know. Still, changing the colour will come last when I do all the painting/weathering/remaining sharpie-ing tomorrow. At least the in-seam is darker so it's useful for that, sigh.

[ai-honey !eEQ3LJoZmM No.6337840]

>>6337728
You want a critique thread really but..

Pink looks too light going by ref images, get a darker pink sharpie and sharpie dye those sections. There appears to be no long pink extensions in the wig? Also you need to cut your bangs shorter, I can't see your eyebrows like I can on the characters. You might want to tuck/pin those longer bits in the bangs behind your ears?

The necklace looks a little large but that's due to the fact the character has a weirdly thin neck, rofl. Oh watch out putting things on in the mirror, as you probably figured out you put the heart on the wrong side of your face (or you mirrored the image for some reason?).

[Choco-Coco !!mOxKaazUvDF No.6337978]

Thank you so much I'll be sure to fix what I can! Yeah I did weft in pink into the back but it seems to not have shown. Oh man I didn't even think about it. I had printed a bunch of photos out and didn't even think when I held them up they would be mirrored. Thanks again!

Even if you can't find yellow. Find some it a style you like and repaint them with either leather paint, or worse case fabric paint. You could also try floral spray, but that's better suited for boots then sneakers.

Also, try stores like Ross and DD's discount(basically discount chains) sometimes I find decent shoes for not a bad price.

Also, try a guys size 10 shoe. Women can wear guys sizes, you just have to convert the size two sizes down. So a Woman's 12 is a guys 10. A woman's 10 is a Men's 8, and so on. I tend to find sneaker and boot shopping for cosplay easier in the mens section since women's shoes in discount stores tend to be platform and stiletto heels.

Thank you so much! I forgot about mens shoes. I've been scowering every payless and nordstroms rack for a pair of sneakers that I more than likely wouldn't wear more than a few times. sorry about the deleted post, I moved down to the help thread.

Yeah. When I was looking for regular boots for a cosplay(the kind the resemble mens work boots) I found a pair at goodwill.

Also, I know some people might think it's gross. But goodwill isn't a bad place to look for shoes for cospla. Especially since, at least the ones in my area, tend to get stuff that didn't sell in clearance(like from target) or stuff from places that went out of business. So some of the shoes aren't even worn, outside of the people trying them on like at stores. Also you can usually tell the really worn stuff, but there will be stuff that looks pretty new. I've gotten some really cute wedges that way and plenty of shoes I didn't mind modding for cosplay for under $10.

I've also checked the local thrift stores, they all stop at a size 9 or 10. Anything higher it's pumps and pointed toe shoes. I'll check again and see about the leather paint (Which, I didn't know that existed. I learn something new every day here.)

It's a brand called Angelus leather paint. It's obviously made to be used on leather, but can also be used on pleather, and canvas since a lot of the people who mod converse sneakers like to use it.

You can order it online. If you're in Socal, there's actually a manufacture in LA county They're sadly only open until 4PM on the weekday.

Hm, I dunno about sneakers but you're never gonna find a tall boot in men's sizes. Had to go to woman's sizes for both of my pairs of boots.

Granted, I was crossplaying, so that does kinda make sense, but still.

It is an FX lightsaber - I am only just barely learning electronics so this was my first step into that area. I learned a lot from the electronics in this piece - it has a battery pack that is not the original, and needed quite a bit of rewiring so that wires could reach where necessary. I also was working on a limited budget for the client so the lightsaber already set worked nicely.

Got this arda wig semi done before my basement flooded. I have had difficulty getting Flutteryshy's shape. All I need to do is glue the "shelf" of hair. It doesn't look dramatic while on the wig head. I did not want to look like Snookie. There is pieces of cotton fluff underneath to help the hair stay up. Didn't matter how much hair spray or teasing I did, that thing kept deflating on me.

I'm sad that I wasn't able to get the hair into the one curl (or two). Due to the length and cut of the wig, it was not working at all. My compromise was the little curls at the bottom.

Any suggestions before I glue it?

So I did Poison Ivy for Halloween, but as it is now it's way too incomplete to wear to a con. Since this is already a generic Ivy without any specific comic book appearance, I figured I could take some creative liberties and spice it up a little.

Yea I do think you need some more clamps lmao Looking good so far! I'm curious to how it turns out

[Anonymous No.6377072]

Finished my Fluttershy wings (pardon the cell pic, didn't have camera on hand). My first time working with worbla. Really like the material, but I will never work with it unless I double up on the material. It's too flimsy otherwise.

I'm happy with them, they aren't perfect but I've already spent close to 4 hours working on them. Going to give it a light sanding and then primers. Crap, I gotta go buy spray paint...

[Anonymous No.6377076]

Thought those were knee caps

[Anonymous No.6377105]

>>6377076
Yeah... they do look like knee caps. Not sure how to fix that as I got the shape from a screen cap.

Didn't have any daylight left when I got home from work, due to cloud cover, so I busted out this indoor sanding box I built a few months ago and did some rough detail sanding, enough at least to get the rest of the layers glued together

[Oshi !DOOP/Abchk No.6377286]

>>6377282
And, so, they are glued together. Lots of sanding to do tomorrow. And I still need to figure out the bell hilt for Asuna's...

A boxcutter ain't gonna cut MDF wood, man. That's all Dremel work.

Also: 6 hours of dremeling and sanding later....
Little bit of filling to do, then I'll hit it with high-build primer and post again.

Just black spraypaint and silver enamel, but I'm going to hit it with gloss varnish when it's all done.
The "armor" piece, I'm just going to use EVA foam.

[Anonymous No.6379684]

Not much progress but I started on my Sailor Moon bows and got odango covers cut out. Also started styling the wig but I'm not confident enough to cut it yet. Can't sew anymore tonight since mum's going to bed and can't find the camera so here's a pic of a LSP pillow I finished.

[Oshi !DOOP/Abchk No.6381237]

>>6379066
I make no promises. But I can at least show my dedication to accuracy. Finished cutting out everything, and hit exactly five packs (20 yards) of white bias tape in this shit. But I wasn't happy with it being white. Everything points to it being a little grey, but not as grey as the lightest grey bias tape, and not fucking silver like all that ebay shit.

[Oshi !DOOP/Abchk No.6381242]

>>6381237
So, a little rubbing alcohol, the remnant cartridges of a black fabric marker and silver sharpie, and I'm dying the whole bundle a nice light grey, a shade that I'm quite satisfied with.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.6381265]

I did almost all of my progress in the 3 days before the con so I didn't have time to post any other progress pictures, and now I don't know if it counts as progress since it's all finished.

Alas...

Haven't come across any hall pictures of it yet, so I don't have any stills, but here's the video of the masquerade at the part where I'm at.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSSrQ2SFObU#t=33m3s

It's kinda falling apart at this point already, the scarf wires are trying to escape the collar so you can see a safety pin as it pulls up side-right, and the right antenna's basically falling off onstage... oh well. (That part kinda irritates me, isn't JB Weld supposed to be super strong? What's the point of a 24-hour setting time if it doesn't even hold for 6? ...Anyways.)

I think I posted all the detailed stuff like the sword and the wristbands a while back anyways, so I guess not having a detailed picture for the finished product is okay?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.6381445]

Er, 24 hour curing time, not setting, of course. I'm not too up on the epoxy terms.

SAKIZO COSPLAY! YES! ... which illustration?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.6381959]

>>6381809
Haha, hi! I really liked yours too, Flonne is awesome and you did her quite well.
It was great that we happened to run into each other, since there were not that many other Disgaea cosplayers there and I only saw the Etna an hour after I got out of Laharl, orz.

Ah, pictures that I took? I don't really have very many, I don't usually take my camera around in cosplay since most of them don't have anywhere to fit it. (Even Laharl's pockets are kinda too small to do that.) I can upload the one I took of you if you want but it was with my cell phone camera which is kinda bad quality.

[Anonymous No.6382008]

>>6381959
sure thing! Ah that made me happy to see at least a few Disgaea cosplayers peppered around every once in a while. But mostly prinnys, or Rozalins.
This was actually my first cosplay so if anyone has any pointers/criticism whenever a pic is uploaded (I don't have any. I didn't carry my camera at all either), I'm open for it.
>>6381959
The only thing I didn't make were the wings. The original pair I made snapped 2 days before the con and were beyond repair. Had to make a choice between Halloween City wings, or no wings at all.

Ahh thats awesome! And don't worry about photo quality, I'm just glad I have something to take away from the whole experience.
Hopefully after the release of DD2, we'll see another surge of Digaea cosplayers.

New to the board, is this where I would post asking for help with making a costume? Or would I be better off just making a new thread?

I-I mean it's already mostly done in my mind... I just need help with one small detail

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.6382142]

>>6382118
There's a help thread here >>6373169 which might be better. Or sometimes if you've already gotten a start you can post it here and ask where to go from there, but it's a bit more on-topic in the help threads.

Though I'm not perhaps one to talk about starting to get off-topic in the progress thread. Flonne, do you have MSN or something of the sort? Then we can stop monopolizing this thread, haha.

I handstitched some plush fabric (they didn't have terrycloth in any shade of pink) onto a bra I had lying around, and then the skirt is just sort of free-patterned to my hip measurements and it ties at the side.
