Thanks, I'll probably keep it, just disappointed that after waiting for it to set it came out like that, and due to such a silly mistake.

Thankfully it's for a navy, white and pink accessory, so maybe I can use the blue to my advantage, try to paint it and make it mottled along the lines of pic related

I'd say it's a rectangle that's gathered at the waist.

[Anonymous No.8312996]

>>8312850
To get it to taper in front you'd have to make it more of an oval skirt with the waist part off center. If you want it to be more gathered then long rectangle fabric then make the two ends taper down when cutting

Don't have enough time for some really crazy shenanigans so I'm just going to wrap wefts around Lisia's ponytail. I think it might help to cover the "points" with loose fiber then wrap wefts around the longer areas to cover the messy ends

I'd love to but it's a very difficult shape to wrap like that and I only have a few weeks to get everything finished. Unless someone has some pointers. The long weft bundle I'm using is enormous though so I'll probably have plenty left if I want to try again later.

I'm about to work with worbla for the first time for this - this is the first part of Justicar Syndra's headpiece that I've cut out into foam for a base model.

I was wondering if you guys think this looks okay enough to go ahead and start putting worbla over? I know having a good base is important for the worbla to look good, and I'm a bit nervous about committing to it since I'm really new to the material.

[Anonymous No.8320363]

>>8319918
If you haven't already got over Wirru's tutorial and take your time. If you haven't used worbla before take a little bit to heat up and play with some scraps and get used to it since it's a weeeeiiiird material. Also I'm a little worried your details are too shallow and they might not show through that well even with the scissors and poke method. Personally I think your base looks great as it is and you could seal and paint it as is.

>>8320931
I've been looking for you, Sintranon. Not the person you're responding to, but I'm working with both Sintra and Worbla on my current project. Any glue suggestions for adhering Sintra to Worbla? Worbla loves hot glue, but Sintra does not, as far as my tests show.

[Anonymous No.8321069]

>>8320931
In person I think the sanding I did too looks decent,but there were definitely places that i didnt give attention to.The middle part of the hilt below the blade is going to get covered,so thats why I didn't give much attention to that part.

[Anonymous No.8321140]

>>8321069
Well, yeah, the middle part is fine. But the sides are too lumpy and I strongly recommend sanding them down and filling the holes with putty. A smooth surface is what distinguishes cheap amateur props from good ones.

>>8320944
To be fair I haven't used worbla much, I usually do props, not costumes or armor.

That said, you should never use hot glue for anything. It's a very poor cement. I recommend, depending on how strong the bond needs to be and how much time you have, either simple wood glue or a two part epoxy. Either way, sand both contact surfaces down with 100 grit sandpaper before gluing, and I strongly suggest using some rivets too, as worbla tends to be bendy, while sintra is rather stiff.

This a thousand times. Don't get me wrong hot glue can be useful in some instances, but if you need something strong and fast, dap weldwoood contact cement, I've been using it and its the fastest strongest glue I've ever used, and completely flexible without breaking bonds.

My mobile ginn is nearing completion. The paint stage is nearly complete and I just need to finish painting the wings. Will post a complete picture sometime during the week. In the meantime I finished the sword, which still needs a few paint touch ups like the rest of the costume. I may or may not have time to paint on decals.
The rifle and leg missile pods i hope to have ready in time for AX, if im able to go that is.

Just think logically about it anon, what would your props be dirtied by, in what spots, and how would they look in real life? there isn't a one size fits all tutorial for it, despite what Kamui might have you believe. If it's plain ol dirt, then yes you'll want to use some dark brown. If it's blood or rust you'll be working with some more reddish hues, or even some slight greens if you're going for an oxidised copper type look. See what I'm getting at?

[Anonymous No.8335753]

>>8334661
You're off to a good start but, in the reference he isn't wearing just a simple vest. It has a collar to it, and silver buttons. You should add a collar and get totally new buttons. Weather your belts some, find a darker more velvety red fabric for the sash, long enough to wrap around maybe twice.

You're also not going to want that rectangular belt buckle, it's nothing like the one in the reference image.

Taking things you already own and making a cosplay is easy, but if you want accuracy you're going to have to be prepared to alter just about everything.

Posting this in a couple threads because I'm desperate af. Trying to find a good wig for Sugilite from Steven Universe but I don't know what artistic liberties to take. A lace front rhapsody style would be amazing but all lace fronts either have curls or are straight, opinions on this wig??

[Anonymous No.8336269]

>>8336086
Get a lace front wig, I guess a straight one will make it easier.
What you need to do is braid small sections of hair going in the direction you need, do it tightly. Then use hot air to make the wig fibers adapt to the new shape, let it cool and remove the braids, you should get yourself something similar to a rhapsody wig texture

cgl could you offer me some advice?
Basically I'm a shit tier sewer and my boyfriends grandma has been helping me make my cosplay which was really nice of her. I really respect that she's helped me and everything, but basically whats happened is this:

>Be me
>Making world is mine Miku dress (inb4 basic bitch cosplay, I mentioned above I'm shit tier sewer and don't do it to be popular it's literally just for a con and I really like the outfit)
>Buys pattern that will suit
>Pattern is for a top so will need to elongate skirt part
>Take the pattern to his grandma
>Bfs grandma cuts the dress pattern whilst i'm not there and the skirt part which needed to be elongated
>Skirt pattern is too thin, not enough poof, not even enough room for a petti
>Feel like absolute bitch r/n for wanting to take it back to her to see if we can make the skirt part more poofy

What can I do to amend the skirt issue? The top part looks fine and all I need to do is sew the black crosses on by hand.
I still have lots of fabric left too so that isn't an issue

I think you used the wrong kind of foam for this. When you make big props like that you should be working with insulation foam, not upholstery foam. Upholstery foam is going to make for a really unstable and damage prone base.

[Anonymous No.8336974]

>>8336931
With the dress as it is now, nope.
I told my boyfriend and he suggested I just tell her it's not fitting properly.
How would we make it bigger? Would we just unpick the side seams and put in little triangle shapes at the sides then sew back up or would there be an easier way to make room for a petti and get the shape better?

[Anonymous No.8336979]

>>8336974
I say just be honest and tell the grandma that you would like the dress to have more flare so you would like a circle skirt attached to the bodice instead of the skirt it normally has. You could also say instead that you don't feel comfortable with how short the skirt is?

[Anonymous No.8336989]

>>8336979
Yeah, to be fair the skirt is actually too long for the cosplay, it needs to be shorter but I'm not too fussed about that. If its knee length I'm okay.

Seam rip the skirt off or if the skirt and top are one piece, cut the skirt off and make it two pieces. I recommend doing a circle skirt for the amount of poof you want, they're very easy to make and attach if you do a bit of searching around. You can maybe salvage some of the skirt fabric you already have, but you might be left with unwanted seams. Hope all this makes sense. Good luck, anon!

I really wouldn't recommend this, but I used card stock and covered it with a few layers of paper mache for stability, then put paper clay over it like I did here >>8309512 and sanded it down. It's finished off with layers of gesso and more sanding. In the picture they just happen to fit on my legs but theyre going to have velcro attached to the insides, which will attach to the tights I'll be wearing.

They're pretty sturdy but if you're not careful with the sanding, the paper clay texture will show through when you paint them. They also have a tendency to warp while being paper mached. Definitely find an alternative if you can.

Also do you happen to have a cosplay blog/page? I really love stuff like this.

Thanks! I will keep posting!
I have a page on Facebook, which I share with my boyfriend but it is pretty much abandoned and we don't have any worthy pics... But you can take a look if you want! It's called Cat & Tiger cosplay, it's kinda silly but well...
This costume is a surprise since I'm trying to step up my cosplay game and lost weight, but as soon as I finish it I should post the whole process and materials/patterns

Damn, this looks nice, but how is it 30 lbs? Is there a steel pipe in there or what? Can't wait to see the rest man.

Oh what the hell. Time for some actual progress. I may have to redo these on the future, though. I'm not entirely pleased with the glue job.

But yeah. I glued transparent red plastic on the inside of the mask. It's not as see-through as I'd like, but at least it's good enough that I'm not crashing into everything in the con area. Now I have to glue some tubes and straps to it. 2 weeks to go.

Please excuse the potato-photo and the bathrobe.

Is that Zero? Don't think I've ever seen it done

[Anonymous No.8347999]

Nearly done with a comission of mine for Shepard's journal. Just have to finish it, refine some things, stitch the inside, and put the scroll things on.

Thanks! c: I charged 150 for this, it's a textbook cover. Hope that's not undercharging considering my materials were about 80.

[Anonymous No.8348310]

>>8348283
What are the materials?

[Anonymous No.8348323]

>>8348310
8oz leather and metal tubing. But it's very thick leather, and stains, and titanium coated rivets.

Holy fuck, Zero? I've always wanted to cosplay Zero but the gas mask got me stumped, what base did you use?

[Anonymous No.8348744]

>>8347718
The stuff in the basket is all clean but it does need folding.

[Anonymous No.8348878]

>what base did you use?

not him youre replying too but it looks like a british style gas mask.

its similar to the HUNK gasmask from resident evil.

Makes me want to try and make my own for Nozomi but I have no idea where to start

[Anonymous No.8348949]

>>8348944
Thanks! It's definitely not the most accurate but I was short on time and wanted to finish for my Nozomi and Kotori

Yup, Zero it is. The mask I used was british M44 respirator.

Did some more things. Not entirely sure about the straps, though. Maybe I'll remove those. They're on the original, but the base isn't perfect. I can't even fit those straps on next to the mouth piece since there's no room.

And I am stumped again. I need to place the tube on the other side as well, but the filter port's on the way. Maybe I can work around it, but it wouldn't look that good. I'm not gonna rip it off either, because gaping hole on the side wouldn't look that good. Any tips, anyone?

Is it made of worbla?

Thanks and no, it's made of camping mattress + tons of woodglue

[Anonymous No.8350245]

hmm well it really depends on how much time/labor you put into it. However that seems reasonable, but you probably could have gotten a little more.

[Anonymous No.8350502]

One glove done ! Making the mockup for that white part was frustrating as fuck, but at least doing the second one will be easier.

[Anonymous No.8351007]

that's pretty impressive. The finish on this thing really looks like it isn't just foam.

The staff photographs nicely. I'm personally not a fan of the fabric you used for the cloak but it all looks neatly constructed. Great job!

Loving the staff and the texture of the cloak gives it a real dark magic feel

Thanks for the feedback everyone! There's a guy who wants to do a photoshoot so I would like to fix anything if needed. The white thing on the belt is from the costume contest # sticker and the pouch was a personal addition to keep my car keys, money and cell at the con. I also had a bunch of those chocolate gold coins and I would hand them out to kids and photographers haha.

Almost done, I need to fix a few things and finish painting the tights .

I'm a bit unhappy with the skirt, I might end up redoing it, it doesn't resemble much the character's

[Anonymous No.8352369]

Painting went better than expected but it looks quite lumpy, I'll need to do more sanding on the next ones.

I feel your pain, I'm this close to rip my skin appart making my gloves. I should've customized ones instead of starting from scratch, I learned my lesson.

[Anonymous No.8353794]

>>8353740

What do your gloves look like, anon ? I'm curious. I finished mine today, but I had no idea this part of the costume would turn out to be so annoying... at least it feels like I'm learning new things.

The top is solid wood, which is where probably 75% of the weight is. The rest is wood too, but lighter woods (poplar and redwood) than the top (pine plywood and MDF, if I recall correctly).

[Anonymous No.8354941]

>>8353963
once the con is over, or now if you've got the time, and if you plan on doing this cosplay again you should look into making a mold of the staff in a few parts and then casting in a lighter material.
