Cosplay progress #3

Glad to say more progress has been made! It's not finished yet, but I've got a WIP of my waistcoat to show off today :D

Complete with a wooden sword my sis bought from the English Heritage X3 There's a ton of pins, but it's a good idea how it'll look and I love it to pieces already!

Also got a super quick webcam pic of my cosplay so far, minus waistcoat, gloves, socks and boots. Loving it so far, it's turning out better than I thought it would!

Still got the fun part of making a sheath out of leatherette coming up. Hopefully it'll turn out alright, I don't think I've got enough for retries ^^;

Cosplay mini-update

So I realised earlier today, I've been working on this cosplay with my own little tweaks in mind based off the Final Fantasy III thief, but I never really posted a proper pic of how I was hoping it to turn out.

So today, I did :)



Not much more work to go with it now~ Yay! :D

Cosplay progress #2

Waistcoat's still being working on right now (main material and lining's been sewn, but not put together yet), but I got a couple of other things finished in the last couple of days to show you all :D

My finished sash. Was originally gonna have a bag hidden underneath it, but it won't fit, so I'm making an overshoulder drawstring bag. The bandana's done too, but I suck at putting them on, so no pic there 'til the cosplay's all done XP Say hi to Spyro!

Also finished my cute little loot bag! :D Made from some funky material I found at HobbyCraft the other day. I love raiding the offcuts bin, you get half meters of stuff so you don't need to buy a ton of fabric for one little project ^^ It's going to tie just infront of where my dagger and sheath will be, which is the side my sash is tied.

And looksy what's inside~

All my little gems I glued a few months back! :D Adds some great weight to it so It hangs better and it'll be a fun little prop for photos and such.

Now I just gotta get on with my other props... Sewing leatherette. That should be fun.

Cosplay progress #1

Since this blog's getting a bit underused, I decided for now I'll use it for cosplay progress! :D

For those curious, I'm cosplaying my own thief design from Final Fantasy and my sister's cosplaying a red mage. We're gonna be at the Midlands MCM Expo in Telford on Febuary 18th.

So right now, I've got pretty much everything I needed from shops bought, including boots, shorts, socks, shirt and the things I need to make the rest.

Today me and my mum spent the afternoon cutting out all the pattern pieces we needed for both me and my sister's cosplay. So hopefully I'll have a funky green waistcoat to show you all soon ;3 Same goes for my bandana and sash. I got my measurements and all that sorted, just gotta cut them out, add hems and all that good stuff!

For those wanting some photo progress, I got a couple to show how it's going ^^

Taken a month or so back. May have overknee socks, may have knee socks, we'll see. All that's missing is the stuff I gotta sew myself X3

And now for a glove :P Got some tweaks to make to this still, such as sewing the top of the glove to give it more definition and make the fingers not so wrinkly. Other than that, it fits like, well, a glove!

Should have more updates soon. With the expo next month, I really gotta get cracking, huh?

Sonic - Fleetway style!

Been on such Sonic buzz lately, especially for the UK Sonic the Comic. After starting work on my entry for the Sonic CD contest, I wanted to see how much I could draw from memory.

Not a huge amount, but I haven't drawn Sonic consistantly since I was 11, so I think I'm improving a lot since I started doodling everyone again a couple of weeks ago! :D I didn't even know I could draw Knuckles, seriously XD

Then went on Painter and did some more referenced doodling of my fave psycho.

It's only rough, wondering if I should carry on with it. Anyone think I should? I swear I'll draw him actually destroying something one of these days.

Well, back to sewing and working on my Sonic CD pic! ^.^
