Dangerous Woman

Updates on the warden.  Everything fits really well, which I am still a bit shocked at. I have also come to realize that MOST of the studs on the jacket will be hidden by the chest plate..... so I'm not sure if I am mad at myself or proud.

The total count for the studs is 5,120. - insane.

Still works on some of the belts and a shield, I have just about two weeks to finish.

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.

True Faith

Hey everyone! If your like me, you sometimes spend way to much time dedicated to your pinterest boards. (yay you know you do) But in my defense I always end up finding some really cool costuming tip or trick. This time it was how to make your craft foam look like leather. 

Tin foil and an iron

That is it and as a bonus using the iron is heat sealing the foam so you can go right to the mod podge. 

Awesome! Right? Super easy. Thicker the foam the better.  

Did I tell you how awesome this is?

First time making a harness please don't mind the pins, inspiration by the  Witcher 3, damn those costumes are gorgeous.  I'm not done with it yet, though it does fits great not to sure on what shirt I'll be wearing with it. I also plan on putting some details on to it, fake pockets and what-nots.

I can not tell you enough times on how life changing this technique is for craft foam. Such an amazing thing to learn.
