What are you working on and for what?
>>8989395
My self esteem
>>8990951
You can do it anon!
>>8990951
Well that's sad
Pinoko is getting close to done for ACen (the shirt is filler because I seem to have misplaced the real one- I might wear a white one instead, making the socks filler). I can't decide whether I should wear the skirt above my natural waist which is more accurate or just wear it at my natural waist which is more flattering.
I've run into so many problems with what was supposed to be a simple costume and I just want it done.
I'm working on not fucking up this stitching three times in a row
If I have to take out one more line of stitches, I'm not even dressing up for animazement
This is what happens when a classic lolita decides to join up with the Mando Mercs.
Finishing up a commission, then I have 3 weeks to finish up sewing Zack Fair, and building his fucking stupid buster sword on top of a full time job for Fanime. At least barge curing takes up an entire day so I'll be distracted with work each time
Still need a dance belt, maybe some lighter color boots. Also maybe another pouch for the utility belt. Might make a T-commmunicator to sell it.
>>8991182
Oh, and I gotta black out the badge on that spandex shirt
Got the stuff to start on my boyfriend's artorias!
Can't wait to suffer
Working on a love live costume. I grabbed one of my friends bow tails by accident so that's why one side is shorter
Working on a gambeson, I need to trim the armholes and the open sides a bit and then sew a shit ton of bias tape. And find a way to flatten my chest even more.
>>8991149
Oh god please post pictures when you're done
>>8993733
Will do! I'm also working on a glorified closet cosplay of Dr. Kisaragi because I'm trash (and needed to work on tailoring) but the 70s were such a fashion disaster that I can't tell what looks good and what looks bad anymore- I think I've narrowed it down to two looks? I can't wait to start ventilating sideburns!
I don't think your chest sticks out too much but I'm not really sure what you're shooting for exactly.
>>8995431
I think I remember you posting about doing Dr Kisaragi before, good luck with it ! I'd love to see that one too. I'm shit at fashion, but I think I like the look on the right better ?
Regarding the chest problem, it's for a crossplay so I'm trying to be as flat as possible, but after thinking back on it I recall that I was standing just under the light source (also it was night), so that might be why it seemed more visible to me compared to older pictures. I'll try to take pictures with better lighting to see if there's a difference.
Working really slowly, but at least the wig is 50% done and everything else is pretty easy.
Victoria F. Stein from Bravely Default. Will have a Victor as well (still working on his costume, too.)
getting vi there! just some final touches to do to the corset and breastplate and then paint the breastplate and these two pieces will be done!! :0
I am going a bit stir crazy after finishing Wing Zero. I am going to buckle down and finish my Ground Type Gundam next. Currently making mockups and doing measurements.
>>9000701
Good god man already?
Just finished up my Chikage, ugh.
>>9000710
My folder of dream costumes just grows and grows. I need to start checking off some of these before I get buried. Also does anyone get really depressed when they aren't working on something?
I wont have a chance to use zero for the first time till July.
>>9000725
Yea I do, I love making things and it has morphed into a side business. Soon to be full time. Just Finished this guy too. So much sculpting.
>>9000730
Looks good ^^b
Progress on nick valentine!
I'm working on Pepakura+Bondo work for a Bisharp Cosplay. Here's a picture of the head after I ran out of Bondo this morning
Working on Kid Loki, finally got around to spray painting his armor. This is my first time making plastidip armor and it's kind of a hassle, but they've turned out pretty well so far.
Still working on muh Power Armor
>>9000824
Looks super clean
>>9000824
Woooah
>>9000824
It's so SMOOTH
Currently working on Castle Crashers for Momocon. We have all the structures made, now just to seal, sand and paint.
>sorry for my mess of a house, it's been kinda chaotic lately
>>9000799
So excited for this anon. Please tell me you're going to have an Ikol or a Thori with you.
>>9001366
I have the base for both actually! Im not sure which one I want to use, or maybe Ill just take different ones to different events. I just need to get some more feathers for Ikol to make him look fluffier, and get red buttons or eye beads for Thori. Kinda tempted to get a build-a-bear recording box or something similar and make him growl or say "Bastard" or something.
Still slowly working on this. It's a collar piece for Holly Joestar Kira. Finally almost done with it
THE LEGEND himself, for King Richard's Faire.
Picking up materials to build a zweihander this week.
>>9001900
beautiful
Been working on the RX-78 for about a month now. I still have a few details to add and corners to clean up before moving on to other parts.
I'm no Temjin and it's my first mech so I'm learning as I go.
>>9000725
I'm a fan of your stuff. Where are you going to wear it?
I need to fix the top part of where the shirt meets the dress and I need to add the rocks and emblem on to the bow. Other than that, I think Merida is pretty much done. I tried making the wig longer, but I might as well have bought a longer one to begin with, but giant curly red/orange wigs aren't exactly in stock most places. At least not that I can afford right now.
>>9001666
You have the patience of a saint and it's gonna be worth it.
>>9001900
Jelly AF
>>9003187
Haha thank you! I've been working on it for a long while, basically doing bits and pieces whenever I can, like on down times at work
Making good progress on Umi!
Working on Camilla atm! I have more progress than just this, but these are the only pieces that are complete right now. I'll post more in a while.
>>9003263
It looks so beautiful anon!
>>9003263
That bow flounce... TELL ME YOUR SECRETS.
>>9003586
You start off with this basic shape (I like to call it a half heart lol). And then just kind of fold it back and forth while pinching the fabric
>>9003621
Dropped image
>>9003622
Not the person who asked but I fucking love you omg thank you!
Started on Katsuki Bakugou's gauntlets from BNHA. Knocked out a pretty good base in two hours. Pretty happy with the proportions too.
>>9003824
>those gauntlets are the bomb
>>9003829
Dammit Carlos
>>9003427
Please do post more anon, and please do her justice. I havent seen a good Camilla yet, but I believe in fellow gulls.
>>9003987
Ah I didn't know you had an instagram! What is it? :D
>>9003427
It may just be how it's sitting on your bed but the thread tension on your vinyl (?) stitching looks like it's off-- the fabric's looking like it's pulling in multiple directions and is rippling along some of the seam lines. Also make sure that if it's stretch vinyl, you're not accidentally stretching the fabric when you pin/sew it.
>>9003263
Drop your insta anon!
>>9004016
ukrainekraine
I don't post a whole lot, I tend to lurk more & look at other peoples stuff haha
>>9002395
Nice work! Its looking alot better than my first suit did.
Ill probably take Zero to Supercon and AFO, both are in Florida.
First time posting in the progress thread! I finally managed to install these LEDs in this skirt and I couldn't be happier. They show up nicely even in a well-lit room without showing too much through the fabric.
>>9004628
how in particular do you cut/sand your corners so smooth? what's your method?
And is that all EVA?
Started working on Sailor Saturn. I was being super anal and decided to fully line the bodice piece. I'm unsure how I'm going to do the skirt though
>>9005004
%90 of my stuff is Sintra, I find it easier to get a clean look, though you loose in terms of durability. You can take a spill in an EVA suit, no so much a sintra one.
Cut by hand with a razor knife and bonded/gap filled with a thick slow cure type CA glue. Excess is then sanded smooth.
>>9005087
Oh fuck that's cool. You should make a basic guide sometime
>>9005087
dremel or one of those sanding blocks? I've got a dremel and it's good for the monotony of a bulk sand job, but I feel like the blocks give you more feel for the material, and end up with a better result... if that makes sense.
>>9005099
I do a panel from time to time. Ive got some videos of it on my Youtube. Ive got access to some better tools and video equipment so Id like to do more with it in the future.
>>9005109
Sanding blocks and just sandpaper with metal hand-sander. Recently I got a bench sander but that's a bit too heavy duty for this stuff.
>>9004041
It is partially how it's laying, but yeah the stitching is imperfect. It's a two way stretch vinyl and given the weird patterns (fuck u kozaki) it was difficult to sew it flat. It actually took me a couple tries to get the crotch part to look decent. Either way I'm pleased enough with it, fortunately its not a central component of the outfit.
>>9004004
I've almost got the corset done, so I'll post that when I can grab pics. I really hope I can pull her off well, it's unfortunate that I've only seen mediocre ones
>>9005026
The collar looks so nice. what are you trying to decide with the skirt?
>>9005026
It looks really great, and super clean. Def look like it was worth the extra work.
>>8999862
ayyy, u wanna smah?
>>9006209
I guess it will just come down to personal preference. It looks like your collar is a satin right? It would probably look really lovely gathered/circle skirt
>>9005087
I remember selling you a lightsaber years ago!
As for my WIP, still working on my Papa Emeritus III costume. Got a zipper to put on the back of the mask to keep it's form on my head better, need a new white contact for my left eye as well.
>>9006292
Thanks again for it :) this sword has seen alot of action over those years I assure you. I might be in the market for a new one soon though or at least getting the driver changed so I can edit the color. I need a green blade for Wing Zero.
>>8991149
The proportions are all wrong and it needs a good steam/press but Pinoko is finished. She's pretty comfy and I can show off my itabag while still being in cosplay so I'm happy.
>>9006331
The edges look so raw.. Hem or fabric glue the edges.
>>9006339
I believe she embroidery hemmed it.
>>9006342
A rolled hem?
>>9006374
No, like, you make the embroidery near the edge and cut off the excess.
Sorry my English is wonky
>>9006378
Yeah, I satin-stitched and fray checked for the hem. It was originally sacked with a lining but I didn't take the difference in bias stretch between my lining and my fashion fabric into account so I ended up having to improvise to get it to look less like shit.
Oh well- the con's in less than a week and I don't have the free time or the material to fix it. Maybe for Anime Midwest?
>>9006394
Don't worry, it looks pretty good as it is!
Camilla Anon again, corset is mostly finished other than some cleaning up. I couldnt get it entirely laced in the back because I'm home alone with nobody to help me OTL so thats why its fitting really boxy in the pic
Today i started my Nurgle chaos cultist soldier/hunter costume!
>>9006394
I'd just trim the lining away from the edges on the inside, cut the scallops off, and hem it up to be shorter than the outside. If you can avoid sewing the lining to the shell by hemming them separately you won't have the bagging problem.
>>9007040
Awesome to see that man. I'm working on a Skitarii getup myself right now. I'll post some pics soon.
>>9006968
You look good anon! Can't wait to see the finished product.
>>9007427
Nurgle cultist anon here - If you need some inspiration, here's a costume i made for a friend of mine. He won 2nd place last year on Beocon in Belgrade :3
Sewed my first costume piece unasisted (save for a few questions sent to my friend who taught me how to sew) and I'm sort of proud. Here's hoping the uniform shirt is as easy as the pattern claims.
>>8999862
Cmon girl, show us the goods. And by goods i mean the fist. I wanna see your Vi fist.
>>9004730
Heh, it looks almost like lightning trough clouds. Pretty nice.
Working on the right arm of my Iron Warriors Tactical Marine. It's made of Worbla and 12mm EVA Foam. Gotta add some details and then I can start working on the left arm.
>>9007785
Awesome! That's what happens when you've got the Omnissiah on your side.
>>9008340
Suddenly all the Warhammer folks coming out of the woodwork.
After a load of ajustements and bias binding the inside seams and the armholes, I really like how the gambeson is starting to look. Now I have to bias bind all the edges, lots of fun ahead...
>>9006331
Nice ! Also I approve of the use of this picture for face-censoring
>>9006213
I ended up doing a pleated circle skirt. I need to fix the pleat angles and maybe add horsehair braid, but I really appreciate the feedback!
>>9008886
It looks nice! Look forward to seeing the finished product!
>>9008640
Is this for any particular character? Looks good so far.
>>9008984
Thanks ! It's for Heath, from the game Avalon Code
Excited about Umi being almost done minus small details! Being the red stripe on the hat, beads, flowers on the white trim and small bows on skirt . I'm so close I can taste it.
>>9009272
Looking great!
>>9000757
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING I CAN FOLLOW YOU ON i want to learn molding plz respondo
Working on Corkus from Beserk. It's my first time working with EVA foam so I'm a bit intimidated
some last second accessories for acen. my friend is doing hinata, and my nanami clip was turning yellow from its many uses so i cooked these up in like 30 mins. god bless shrinky dinks
My redhood... I've put it on ice for a bit working on a division agent one
>>9010441
I have an Instagram but I'm also still learning so I'm not posting much about it , buuuut I can make a throwaway email or something if you wanna talk about it!
>>9009272
Ughh it looks o amazing anon! Do you have an IG or social media?
>>9012993
My instagram is @coffee_cat_cat and my fb page is Coffee Cat Cosplay. I post costume updates more on my fb page, my instagram is also filled with food, selfies, and nail photos haha
working on a shadow gijinka
finished up the shoes today all im missing is the wig now
momocon is to soon....
>>9011967
Looks awesome! Clean your mirror.
>>9012230
YES
[email protected] is mine
p much finished Holly Joestar Kira, still need a wig, but otherwise all the sewing is done
My current one the red hood is on ice for
>>9014667
How did you do the rings? Looks great!!
>>9015281
thank you!! they are just tubes of gold spandex with stuffing inside
Reworking my Tony Halloween costume into a proper cosplay. I need to somehow stuff the mask b/c it slides around on my head. Also need to re-blood the knuckles since I forgot how I tied my wraps. Mom's mailing my HS letter jacket, which is coincidentally the same colors as the main character's. Should look pretty good by the time I'm done
Working on a madonna/flower crown for an upcoming OTT coordinate at Otakon. I think I'm gonna add some pearls and a veil, too. I've never made anything like this lol it's an experience.
>>9016473
ahhhh what wig is this? i love the whole thing!
>>9016480
Thanks!! It's lockshop's mermaid wig in vanille
Camilla's coming along~ Just need to finish painting the axe, make the gloves and boot covers, and fix up the thigh highs (theyre too loose right now) Everything should be good to go for Anime North and Colossalcon!
>>9016473
As someone who makes similar-style Madonna crowns, yours is quite lovely!
Just need to pick up some leather, glue down the "bone" and a few touch ups and them it'll be done.
The helmets are almost done being sanded and the tunics have been molded. We leave for momo on Thursday, wish us luck.
>>9016529
Very nice
>>9016275
You need to work out those arms more, m8. Other than that, you have a pretty solid plan.
>>9016473
Where'd you get that top?
>>9017275
Ugh I know senpai, I have noodle arms, thanks rippetoe
I'm working on a Nightwing variant which is from a dimension where bruce is dead and he went to train with Ra's Al Ghul. So far I have the top half designed.
>>9017881
Nope. Not cute enough to warrant $128 from me. Oh well.
>>8989395
goofy armor costume and weapon prop from an old game that I wanted to have finished for this upcoming fanime but was delayed so much I'll have to hold it off until next year most likely
>>9016275
I did a pretty crappy tony cosplay for last fanime and for mine I took a few strips of cardboard and glued them inside the mask to make it more rigid
I also cut a few slits by the bottom of the neck and folded the rubber over on itself to glue together to make it a little tighter; both of these really helped keep the mask from bouncing around too much for a more snug fit
Cosplayed before but this is the first time Ive actually made a cosplay from scratch. Still need to do a bunch of pieces like the hands, neck, and feet.
>>9018152
Thats pretty dope so far man. What are you using for materials?
>>9018152
Not bad for a first time, good clean cut lines.
Keep on posting as you progress
>>9018157
Thanks, Im using craft and eva foam for the armor. The legs also have actual hinges on them so they bend when I walk. Im also making an Iron Man suit for my friend for an upcoming con.
>>9018053
Thanks dude!
Camilla is doneeee. This was a pain to make. Kozaki's designs are the furthest thing from realistic. Still pretty happy with this though! Definitely some parts I'll be fixing up/adding to as the year goes on.
>>9019333
Neat!
Finished cutting and assembling batting to fill the circular flounces on the Princess of the Crystal's gown (the spiral uncoils into a massive zig-zag ruffle). The batting is getting sandwiched between layers of sparkle organza, I'm not looking forward to that endless curved seam.
>>9019333
Amazing job!
>>9015112
The collar and hat details look so amazing compared to the cuffs tough ;_;
Working on my Motoko kusanagi cosplay for fanime! I'm standing weirdly here because there were some fitting issues with the bodysuit.
I actually have more done than this but I haven't taken any new pictures yet. The suit is now 100% done, with the actual belt/thong piece, Zipper, and black strips on the torso. I have her grey under gloves done as well as the buckles for the jacket and belt.
Here I only threw on some of the armor on the jacket for photo purposes, it's now all secured on there! All that's left is styling the wig, the black gloves, and the boots :)
Finished flannel wig for my girlfriend
Two more wigs to do and ill be done
>>9019333
Looks so good
Glad to see everyone else making fates cosplays!
>>9020034
Ah yeah, doing accessories and props (non sewing related) really aren't my forte, but they're something I definitely need to work on more!
1. Punch him in the FACE
More fake blood soon
Bakugou update. The base of the gauntlets are done! They need to be Bondo'd and touched up but i'm really happy with them so far
>>9014871
Hey sorry for not contacting you yet, I got really busy lately but I have a holiday in my country starting tomorrow so we can talk!
Got my first latex cast today, there's still a bunch of details to fix, extras to cut and colors to add but I'm pretty happy! I'll also make a decorative one with leds and metal parts just for fun, since my teachers gave us more latex to play with!
I've spent the past several days working on salvaging a shitty Taobao costume to make it look halfway decent. I'm about 90% done with it.
I tore a lot of it apart and spent some time embellishing it (most of those details are hidden in this shot, unfortunately), but I think I actually won't hate wearing it.
It's not perfect, but I'm planning to improve on it more, but the convention is on Friday, so I'm happy with what I have so far.
>>9020852
those look fucking cool
>>8991131
Do you have any progress pics or tut on how you did those swords and your mask?
>>9007040
Lets continue the mask making with a typical gift of Papa Nurgle.
So close to being done
>>9021028
Props to you anon, it's looking a lot better than before.
>>9021028
I'm curious if you don't mind me asking how much you spent on the before? Did you know what you were getting into when ordering it?
The refab looks great btw
Lotus from 999! Still got a lot of work to do, but man does it feel good to actually be getting stuff done, even if it all looks quite messy.
Finally done with that bias tape. I'll wait for a bit before doing the cross-shaped part at the front because I'm getting a bit sick of working on this. The front is still held by pins for now, I think I'll sew some snaps to keep it closed (or maybe set them with a pair of pliers if I can make them go through all the layers)
>>9021858
Okay but why did you censor the focal point of the character with a weird awkward looking rainbow?
Is it because Lotus is the boobiest character and you have literally nothing there? Were you trying to distract me from that?
>>9022536
Lmao
>>9022536
I didn't have a bra on at the time and thought it'd be better to not be plastering my nipples on the internet.
[spoiler]but yeah I really have nothing there[/cglhasnospoilers]
>>9008056
Slowly making progress on my Sears Victoria uniform. Being an amateur, this thing has really thrown me for a couple loops, but I'm proud of what I've managed to do.
>>9008062
ask and ye shall receive.
Not so much work done on them since last time but at least there's fingers now.
>>9022565
>not putting on a bra to take a photo of a costume you're not comfortable not wearing a bra in
>making a shitty excuse in response to an obvious shitpost instead of just ignoring it
>>9021832
Thank you!
I paid about US$33 on it, I think. I initially ordered a more expensive one (not muuch though, about $50) that was higher quality with no plans on changing it, but it was sold out, so I clicked around and found that one; the stock image IIRC looked better than what I got, but when I realized I was downgrading I decided to challenge myself.
I honestly hate sewing and I frankly suck at it, but I am a stickler for accuracy & really enjoy embellishing costumes and adding small details. Usually that doesn't happen though with my costumes because by the time I shop, cut, and sew, I'm completely burned out from it, have no time, and stop caring, and when I actually put the costume on, I'm full of regrets. So I figured if I was able to at least get a base from this, the biggest hurdle for me would already be done for me, and I could do what I wanted.
When I pulled it out I was just going to change a few things, but the more I worked with it, the more I decided to change and alter.
>pic related: some of the minor details I enjoyed putting together
>>9021858
Why did you pick a character with huge boobs when you literally have no chest?
>>9022623
Nice rewording of that other anon, anon. It's even funnier the second time around.
>>9021671
i thought this was a dragon dildo
>>9022678
What's funny is you avoiding the question.
>>9021676
Those lines, so clean. This is breddy clever too. Much better than the other lazy closet cosplayers. Good work
>>9021858
Had to google the character. I'm sorry anon but this doesn't even look close to accurate... :\
Still a WIP for Kaleidomoon Scope but I'm pretty pleased so far! Once the wings are cut out and glued together, I'm going to fill in the gaps with wood filler and sand it before using Plasti-Dip and some spray paint. I'm also going to do the same for the crown part and tip plus hand paint the rod pink.
>>9022873
That's because this is a WIP thread anon.
>>9022611
Not too bad then. Are you happy with how it's turned out/not as burned out?
PSA: sharpie bleeds through 3D prints and makes them look like hot garbage. Going to have to prime and repaint this mess.
>>9022709
Nurgle anon here - if you tought that yesterday, now take a look at this 99% finished product!
But yea, i looks lika a disiesed festering dragon dildo/codpiece... and thats just the look i was going for XD
Rather aggravated. Ordered larp armor from a guy in Italy. Gave him measurements, and it came back fucking half assed. Got my friends dad, who works in the SCA to fix it up a little. The only problem is the gorget, which is supposed to be curved but remains flat and pointed towards the neck. I've tried to flex it and mold it back into the shape its supposed to be, but over time it returns to it's default position. Note it is already dyed and painted. So, water treatment is out.
What are some ideas to have it retain its shape?
>>9023159
Some thick copper wire? 2-3mm?
>>9023162
Can I ask how that's going to work? Where to attach it so it doesn't come loose/ gouge you?
>>9023164
Well... i dont know. Can you post the picture of said piece so we can see the problem?
>>9023021
>>9023021
Yes! It's really rare that I enjoy wearing a costume I've made. He's got some weird sword that I'll make for next time but that's about all I didn't do.
>finally put it all on last night
>>9021858
I really like how the necklace looks! Ignore the shitposters, you look good so far~
>>9022611
>>9023205
I'm the same way anon, I hate sewing but I could work on accessories and detail work all day. Holy shit it looks great! Tough to believe it was the same costume.
>>9022930
This looks so clean and cute, I'm glad the toy wand part worked out! Can I ask what paint you used for it, or did you sand it first? I don't have a lot of prop experience and it seems like I remember painting over smooth plastic always became a really sticky mess.
>>9023281
Criticism isnt shitposting
>>9021858
not as harsh as the other anons, but are those your final pants? it would look better if you made some that flared out more. that's a pretty significant aspect of lotus' design
>>9023316
"your tits are too small" isn't criticism with regards to cosplay
Can someone explain to me the point of cosplay? Is it a fetish? Or do you just enjoy wearing it? If you enjoy wearing it do you wear cosplay at home alone?
>>9023824
Sometimes when I'm alone at home I like to wrap myself on a piece of cloth, go to the garden, burry myself and pretend I'm a carrot
>>9023305
Thank you! Are you the anon who helped me in the SM thread?
I used Rustoleum's Metallic spray paint and made sure to clear coat so it didn't chip off in the future, I tried to hand paint with acrylic before and that was just a streaky mess.
>>9020753
I love you for this.
Working on a fanart version of Yasuho from Jojo
>>9023706
unfortunately, yeah; I'm bringing her to Momocon this weekend, but I'll definitely redo the pants if I ever get the chance. I tried to make them with a bit of a flare, but I might have drawn them not as big as I should have. I think the drape of the fabric might have something to do with it, too, so I'll play around with adding interfacing.
>>9023205
You did an absolutely gorgeous job on fixing this costume.
>>9024025
ah, i see. well, good luck! i'm glad to see any 999 cosplayers, so -- godspeed, basically
>>9023886
Thanks senpai!
>>9020852
What are your ideas for the flame on the back of his head? I've been wanting to attempt him as well but have no idea to even tackle that.
This Cosplay was a hit
>>9024195
Gay
>>9024181
Honestly I'm probably going to make them out of craft foam and then make them some sort of clips to put on the wig. It seems to be the easiest way to do it because there's no way they'll stay on a facemask. Its so thin its like its not even a mask half the time.

Tell your mom that she has a nice kitchen.
We had the bodies ready, but then realized they wouldn't fit in the car... so we made a redesign and sewed it in the hotel room. Still need refigure out the arms, but time for sleep
Also one of founders of Behemoth shared it on Facebook and complemented it. Kinda dying
>>9024247
Wish I could see this in person, it's so nice. Post the finished result too, for god's sake.
>>9023092
also give it a good sanding or if it's made of abs use the acetone vapor method. That thing's got print lines for weeks.
>>9024472
Still putting it together, will have final photos tomorrow!
>>9024209
Ah that's the line I was thinking, although for some reason I thought maybe it was part of his hair so putting wefts over foam would be good, but maybe not. I'm exited to see how yours turns out! Your grenades so far looks so clean.
Taking a break from the gambeson to work on the chausses (I haven't cut the extra fabric at the top yet so that's why it looks a bit wonky). So far so good even if the left one is a bit looser than the right, I might do some ajustements before doing a flat felled seam for cleanliness, and I plan on adding a facing at the top to strenghten the fabric since it will be tugged upwards by the belt once I add laces.
>>9024472
So there are a few things we will tweak before our next con, but I'm pretty happy with it
>>9027189
That is excellent, thanks for sharing!
>>9027189
Saw you two being very carefully guided by the constaff near the big momocon sign lol
Still looking for a hall shot since I haven't really gotten any good photos myself, but here's a shitty mirror pic of finished Lotus.
>>9027463
And I dropped photo pffft
>>9027465

>>9001358
I saw y'all last night at the competition. You guys were great!
>>9016275
Tony was my first ever cosplay (did it last winter, I'm pretty new), I did the mask from paper mache, since everything else was bought I wanted to do something myself. Now I'm doing Asuka, it's not much but with help from a friend this was my first self-made clothing/costume ever! Now I just need to make the watch and I'm done.
>>9029318
oh, and I haven't ironed the dress yet, so will be doing that for sure
>>9029318
You look great anon! You guys did a great job on the dress!
I would tone down your make up though. It looks a little to glam for that character.
Made a bag today
>>9029665
I recognize that bag, but from what?
>>9029709
>>9027465
shoes seem a size too small
>>9018152
Back with an update on my friends iron man suit. Got the lights installed and most of its done. Paint didnt come out as well as i hoped do to an earlier coat coming out funny, but i was able to salvage it.
>>9029318
this looks great anon! i'm about to start making this costume and i was wondering where you got your shoes? they're perfect.

Thank you! The shoes are from Anna Field, you can find them by googling "anna field platoon red". I bought them from zalando, but I'm not sure if they ship globally?
>>8989395
I know /cgl/ is really shit at making new threads.
But please, for the love of convenience, put at least one word of "PROGRESS" Somewhere in the starting post so one can search in the catalog.
>>9030397
Probably different duct tapes, adhesives, and hot glue.
Also a sewing kit.
>>9030397
try also "WE BURY OUR MISTAKES" if you're a true doc
>>9030385
Sorry, meant to say "platoo red", not platoon
What's a good covering for EVA foam to give a smooth finish
I am thinking plaster but wondering if there is a better way
>>9030397
a stapler and lots of staples. Paint pens in various colours.
>>9023955
Ukraine pls make something for me, I'll pay you
>>9030951
Popular things are layers of gesso, thermoplastics (Worbla or the likes), or Plastidip
>>9031304
These can take paint and sanding I assume?
>>9023955
I don't know if I'm seeing things, but it looks like your skirt might be a bit see-through. Not sure if that was your intention/if the skirt is done.
>>9031304
Plasti dip takes paints fairly decently
Look up evil TED smith on YouTube for some details on it
>>9031464
i see it too lol. you can clearly see that shes wearing boyshorts.
>>9030397
Bobby pins, hair spray (you can get tiny cans in travel section), safety pins in a variety of sizes
Maybe tiny bits of paint? In basic colors of black and white. Oooo, or paint markers, that might work better.
General first aid stuff too; band aids, advil, tampons/pads, eye drops, tissues
Aerosole deodorant
Finally done. Btw the gun does move up and down and has lights in it. I control it through a remote in the hand. The head chest and hands all do light up but my batteries are dead and i need new ones. Ive got a few complaints but im happy with how they came out, especially since this is the first time actually making a cosplay, and that its done in time for the convention this friday.
>ainz from overlord
>currently making body chassis for shoulders
3d printer has been going full steam for awhile now, hoping i can get it done in time for AX.
>>9033450
>snapchat
looks good tho anon, what material are you using for armor?
>>9029665
fuck, i want it
>>9023092
there's finish coats for 3d printed shit to get rid of lines since you already colored it, would be easier than sanding
very, very, VERY slowly working on my Chappie cosplay. wish i could go faster but I have very little time to actually work on anything.
also making goggles for an Aizawa Shouta cosplay from Boku no Hero Academia. gonna try to make the pattern for his jumpsuit this week i hope.

Gauntlets are looking good! Sat everything together (it's not nearly done/strung yet) to get an idea !
>>9033450
Something about this photo makes it look like they're miniatures. I find this amusing. But good work anon! What con are you bringing it to?
Just about done with my Motoko cosplay! Still want to brush up a few things, like the boots etc, but really happy with how it's looking :) the belt kept riding up in the back so I definitely need to secure it somehow :/
>>9036623
Thanks! Honestly I'm glad that the hard parts are done XD I think I went through 4 versions of the bodysuit before I got it to fit right?
Well shit, I've been calling these "chausses" ever since I started but apparently the correct name is "hosen". The more you know... anyways they're nearly finished, I added a facing inside for more sturdiness and just have to put some eyelets at the top and to hem the ankle. They're pretty comfortable to wear even if the wool isn't that stretchy.
>>9034736
Yea it's a bit rough looking so sand, sand away!
>>9023205
I remember you posted about this in the taobao thread and I have to agree, you've done a wicked job on improving the costume! I've love to see the whole look when it's completed; are you making the sword too and did you also get the wig from taobao?
