Megadeth

I can not say it enough, I have some of the coolest friends on this planet! WHO would have thought that the three of us would still be making amazing costumes, crafts, drawings, painting, hell even baking at this point in our adult lives. I am so proud to have these amazing, talented, and strong women by my side. Alex (who was wrangling for us during this photo shoot) and Emmy (Morrigan) are two of my oldest friends and I would not be the person I am today without them. Thanks ladies! <3

Photos : Joe (@fuckoffjoe ) - THANK YOU!!!! >:D

Also did a test fit with the Fenris nose - JB made the latex nose piece for me! Still needs work!

We also did a test fit with King Alistair! Getting so clooose to finishing it!!

Lucy from Fairy Tail almost done! 

Because I can not take myself seriously

LUCY!!

So I made Lucy in a day. lol I had the wig, but a day. Still need a belt but everything else is done. 

Dragon Age : test photo shoot

Morrigan turned into a toad.

when your warden gives you a golden mirror

So this was our 15 min photo shoot because I didn't know when the sun was setting and some of us got out of work at 5pm. So yeah we were just goofing over and having fun, we did get some nice picture but the lighting was poor. So work needs to done to Alistair before he can be worn again, the knees and elbows have to be re-done. All and all it was a good test run.

I'm your man

Alrighty than, so this was the first test fit we did and there are some problems, because nothing I make can go smoothly BUT this is why we do these tests! The shoulder armor isn't staying up and we have attached a strap to the chest amor, I am going to sewing some Velcro to the shirt to make it more stable. The waist armor fits but in the photo we didn't more the sides over his thighs enough.

The bracers are my favortie part of this outfit, I also need to get another belt and finish his knee and elbow armor. But we are almost done. SO CLOSE!

Wake me up when September ends

I am so sorry, it seems I have been neglecting my blog... again. But fear not for I have been hard at work and taking lots and lots of photos!

And away we go!

Alistair's boot in the sun light

Okay so this chest plate is the beginning of Fenris from Dragon Age 2. There is no due date on this costume, I kinda started it just to keep busy while I waited on other things to happen. PLUS I have a TON of EVA foam hanging around the craft room.

Right on the next set of photos. Alistair's chaps. If you ask any of my sewing friends they will tell how much I hate making pants and now I don't have a lot of experience in making which leads to my hatred. But I picked up two pants at SAVERS and them Frankenstein-ed them together. Which turned out pretty good, for the gray top pants I wanted to add some texture to them so I drew on some quick "chain mail". Also added the eyelets to the brown "leather" chaps.

Return to the Darkness

I've also been working on Alistair today too. So here are some of those WIP photos.

Right so I have just about all the armor pieces make and really to have straps attached. I got the boot armor all set, you can see from the photo we did a test run. The Bracers are not the same design from the video game reference that I am using for the rest but I am happy with the way the "wood grain" came out. Those still need to be weathered but I think I got a lot done today.

Boot armor -2x (attached)
Foot Amor- 2x (attached) 
Bracers - 2x 
Armor arm bands- 2x 

Pretty good for a days work. Still need to purchase a few things too.

Pants - Grey and brown (need to make chaps)
Belts- need two of them
Gloves- fingerless (also need to add small armor plate)
Boot cover - the armor plate has another smaller piece that sits on top of it
Arm / Leg / Boot  bands - 6x

There is still a ton to do and we are slowly getting closer and closer to RI Comic Con.
