Inquisitor

Hey everyone I have an update in awhile with actual words. Only pictures. But finish is almost done I'm just waiting on some leggings and some clear sandals and then I think we're going to do the nosepiece again and do a test fit sometime next week.

We didn't go to Boston Comic Con that was over the weekend way too hot and thought we'd save some money by not killing ourselves in the heat.

I started working with foam again I decided that I was going to try to make a helmet. The helmet from Dragon Age Inquisition the inquisitors helmet I got a free pattern off of the Evil Ted Smith Channel on YouTube. You should go check them out if you're going to start working with foam. He really knows his stuff and he's a good teacher watch all those videos over and over again

It was pretty hard again I don't have a lot of experience working with phone never mind making a dome shape so it was kind of a trial-and-error a lot of failure but I like the way that only come out in the end it's not perfect butt it works

I wasn't really planning on doing anything else with the helmet other than just make it just to see if I could but then I start looking online and I saw a lot of people doing Inquisitor armor and I found one that I really like from the guy had really good pictures of how we made it so I'm going to go ahead and make an Inquisitor costume. So get ready for that

Everyone wants a bad boy

Steve Rogers : "Everyone wants a bad boy." (stated at some point, idk) 

Sam Wilson : "Yeah Rogers, Not an assassin tho."

Silly dialogue I found on tumblr somewhere. 

I did JUST finish the jacket and I am super happy with it, the snaps are so much fun. I think I'm gonna leave them silver for fun. 

I'll post more photos tomorrow with the rest of the costume on.

Hello world, I am a little disappointed in myself for not staying on top of updating this blog as often as a should. I normally set a goal of how many posts I want in a month buut last month was lack luster, All and all I am doing pretty well, things are still kinda strange with me emotionally but I don't think that is uncommon with my situation. I have an amazing set of friends that keep me grounded and flying true and I am so thankful for them! <3 My ladies!

I have been throwing myself into projects from costuming to work projects, which is keeping me busy. Update on Anime Boston this year : I will not be going but I do have a few friends that are attending, I keep playing with the idea of going up for Sunday or Saturday night and stay with a friend. BUT it is a BIG IF. I'd love to surprise some people but I'm not sure yet.

V-day was fun. I'm finally getting to watch season three of Hannibal. I really, really do not want this series to end. And can we talk about how much that WHOLE cast ships Hannigram. Awesome. I do believe Hannibal "Mads" and Will "Hugh" won a best couple award from the network the show is on. Tho they changed it to "best friends" I laughed pretty hard at that.

 Finally updates on the Grey Warden from Dragon Age Inquisition. We are up to 3,200 metal studs and I just ordered more. The back of the jacket is just about done, I have not taken an pictures in awhile but I will. I've also been working on a gender-bender Bucky Barnes, its a cosplay team-up with my friend Emmy (and maybe the ladies if I bug them enough to join the dark side <3).

Please ignore that ugly pink sink and my derpy, lets take a selfie face. Its the first arm I did and I am going to re-do. still getting used to working with foam and it is really fun! But practice makes prefect, right?

I also got to help out a friend who in a rush to bang out a costume for a little group event he was going to. Its not prefect and needs to be re-done BUT it worked and he was help with it. BONUS he got to learn how to kinda sew. Baby steps but I enjoyed the team-up. Even if he is our Iron Man. #teamcap #wintersolider

4 hours of work, 2nd vest will be better

Fingers crossed I'll have more to update later in the month! Get excited for the up and coming CONVENTION SEASON 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHH!

Swooping is bad

soda cans! CLEAN SODA CANS!

made template of the right size and cut out

This is Patina stains metal real good, great for weathering.

Right so we started working on a new costume for the boyfriend, what two days ago and I'm happy with the progress we are making. So with this project I get to use the soda cans (which I LOVE) it is such a cheap and easy way to add the metal plates to the armor.

All the armor has a cardboard base because cardboard is free and we are working off of a tight budget. Brown craft foam then has been weathered to look like leather (using the tin foil technique)  and then I glued on each metal plate and added the fake rivet marks.

Right now we have all the waist armor done it just needs to be strapped up and fitted, also need to go purchase some cheapo belts from savers for this outfit.
