Lita cosplay #3

So I ended up sneaking in some work on Lita's hat again X3 Ended up taking nearly the whole thing apart to rebuild it. Didn't take long tho', the first time I took it off, my morning it had fallen apart! So with some thicker cardboard and more masking tape later, I have this.

Ugh, I look so bad X_x Had an annoying ache in my head all day, so I'm a bit out of it XD Still needs work, but it holds together much better now, at least ^^

Hopefully gonna do a bit of work on it after my first craft fair and I'm back from holiday, even if it's using scrap to figure it all out :3

Lita cosplay #2

Thought I'd try out making Lita's hat today. Found some thick jewellery wire that had lost a lot of its silver colour, so I wanted to use it for the hat frame.


It's got a ways to go yet. I gotta make it so it doesn't curve so high at the top, make the wire frame for the bottom more centered and make sure the whole thing'll hold up when the materials' put on it. Right now it's pretty light tho' ^^

I know my hair'll make the fit tighter when I've got a wig on, but it sits further up on the head anyway :3

FF:R art

So I've started working on FF:R related stuff again. I missed working on the story with my friends, so we're giving it a different approach. It's a fun thing to think about between crafting and TrickSong :3

And with working on it, I bring art! :D



I missed drawing these lot so much <3 Gonna work on some more plot related sketches sometime, along with the other party members ^^ I'll post most art here and on the RP board, but it's member protected, so here's good enough X3

Lita cosplay #1

Starting updates early this year X3 Main reason being is that I needed to know if what I wanted to do would be alright. So I emailed Granny Gertrude (Joe. He's awesome >D) and got a reply this morning ^^


"Ah, interesting. The short answer would be that this would be at the discretion of the judges, as ultimately how they choose to apply the rules and criteria is their decision and we respect that.

However, I suspect having the original artwork and and illustration of how you were blending them would probably go down quite well with most of the people we have serve as judges."
 
 
So it's looking to be quite likely I'll mix the two designs together.
 
 
  The design I want to do

The design I'm gonna get elements from to mix together


I'll be sure to post finished designs when I've got them ^^ Got some initial designs sketched, just not completely finalised yet.

Also gonna make her weaponry. She uses claws.

These claws, to be precise :3

Largest reference I can get, unfortunately ^^; But I've worked around it and drawn up a full reference for how to make it =D

So wish me luck, everyone! It's not the most elaborate cosplay, but I've only seen 4 or so other Lita cosplayers and I'm determined to do her justice next year <3

Quick WIP

So it turns out Il Divo get me in the doodling mood. Was watching their latest live DVD with my family and got sketching. Before I knew it, I'd drawn out a character I've wanted to make a fully finished picture of for ages! :D Turned out really good too, pose and everything.

Not saying who it is (although anyone who's talked to me in the last couple of days'll know for sure), but here's a quick WIP pic.

Bonus points if you haven't talked to me for the last few days and still know who this is =D The hat might be the giveaway, we'll see X3

Between job hunting, working on this and an art trade and TrickSong too, looks like I'm a busy bunny ^^ Let's not count sewing for now, the list'll make my head spin XD;;;
