Bite my shiny metal ass

Everyone, so they're going to few updates that have been posting and I have a ton of photos of work in progress on Sub Zero and on Alistair. So this is pretty much a photo dump post and some tutorial pictures that I took.

My friends and I are hoping to go to Hartford Connecticut Comic Con this Saturday and I'll probably be wearing the warden so I'll get some nice pictures of that, finally.

Also in real life I actually got a promotion this week and I'm now the bakery manager which is a good thing and a bad thing. More money and more responsibility but I'll be spending a lot more time in the bakery and not as much time costuming and probably not going to as many conventions as I'd like to because I have to work weekends. But it'll all work out in the end.

Here are the photos for Sub-Zero's Bracers and Arm bands for my firend. SUPER excited with how they came out. It's all craft foam, scupley and hot glue.

 We also found an old Batman chest plate that of friend, Mark made. It is one of his first pieces of foam armor so Courtney and I thought it would be have a little fun! <3 Mark wasn't to happy buuut he got over it.

The HIlls

 Right so here are some updates on Scorpion, slowly coming together.  I think next week I'll be ordering the contacts and fingers crossed for super fast shipping. SO the pants I got from Savers, because I HATE making pants and I will only do it if I HAVE TOO. Those 'belts' are just weathered craft foam that I hand sewed into the pants. (I was going to use them as work pants too, but I guess not hell they were only 5.99 I can get more) I weathered the mask a bit, needs to get closer to the color of the tunic. I still have to sew the collar piece to the tunic.

 The dagger is for Scorpion, I also have some fake chains coming in from amazon, to be warpped around my bracers. The other foam is the beginning of Sub-Zero. Figured I start making some of the smaller pieces, we officially start working on him on Sunday after I get out of work.

Stay tuned for more.

Stubborn Love

Hey everyone so its going to be the end of the month and I have not posted and off things on this blog in a long time. I also haven't been anything costume related in the longest time which is just sad to think about. Especially when I only have 77 days left before Super Mega Fest and Rhode Island Comic Con come around. I really hope to have scorpion done in the next week and then the only thing I have to worry about a thing for the contacts. So that leaves me plenty of time to help my friend with her Sub Zero. And all the other costumes that I want to make Haha. So here a few pictures and hopefully I'll have more later on today.

It is slowly getting there and I really really want it to be done, I jsut need to work on the belts, pants and boots. Fingers crossed  I can find something cheap for the shoes, I don't want to spend to much money on this.

Set me Free

Updates on the bracers!! Look cool right? there is some bowing with the weight of the buckles (not to bad) but it is noticeable. I'm not to worried about it though, I think they look good.

Have a sewing party with some good friends on Wednesday and I had a ball. I have two of the great people on this planet by myside and I was on top of the world. You guys mean so much to me! <3

 This outfit is coming along pretty awesome and I can not wait to order my contacts!! AH it is going to look so cool!!!  I love sewing parties!

Final Hope

Hey everyone! So I recently joined Cosplay Amino app and I have to say it is kind of amazing. This community has every tutorial I'd ever need at my finger tips. For green horns to pros, they have anything and I love it. It isn't at all what I thought it was going to be and THEY HAVE A RHODE ISLAND cosplay CHAT BOARD! EXCITEMENT!

So follow/watch/ like my stuff if you want and hopefully people from that site will come here and see more of my work. *fingers crossed*

Right, back to work. UPDATES::::

Everything still needs to be weathered but the collar is finally attached to the shoulder armor, I almost wish I didn't put so much work into the shoulder bells because now their all covered up for the most part.... oh well.

The hood came out awesome, one shot too. Normally I'd need to fit but not this time round. Needs to be weathered also and I put a center seam.... when in the video game he doesn't have one buuut oh well. My bad.

More updates tomorrow.
