SuperMegaFest 2015

Holy cow, SMF was awesome this year! Wicked excited that I got to go this time! We did Starship troopers and Mortal Kombat. So All the armor is made out of EVA foam, those gray floor mats you can pick up at any hard-ware store/ joblot/ target/ etc. Mark, Justin, Cournty and Buckely did all the work on those, all I did was painted the gloves, meh. It was nice to have a costume made for me this time around. Had a blast wearing the armor tho! We won first place for best group costume!! 

And then Courtney and I did Sub-Zero and Scorpion!! 

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY WITH HOW THESE ALL CAME OUT! 

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.

The Imaging

Hey everyone! I've been super busy with new costuming things and I am so excited at the progress so far! I've also get a few countdowns going now for RIcomic Con and Super Mega Fest both of which are in November so coming soooon. To soon.

Alistaurs updates back and breat plate are done.

So many soda cans.....so much hot glue.

Right so all I need to do for Alistair is the strapping for the waist armor and attaching the back plate to the breast plate. Also the shoulder armor needs to be worked on but I run out for thick brown foam. So that is put on pause for a moment.

I was also talking with a friend and she/ I agreed that we'd be getting a costuming pair for Super Mega Fest (SMF) this year and I totally forgot about it till I saw her the other day. SO that get bumped up the list because there are 101 days till SMF and I want us to look good. I've also put myself on work out scheule.

I know, I know. I'm the worst at sticky to these but I want my arms to look for this costume.

That is right Scorpion baby!

Sub Zero and Scorpion

And NO we are not doing sexy, female versions of these characters we are dressing as men. Binders will be worn, makeup will be put on , I will be carrying around a speaker with their voices recorded with catch phrases. SUPER EXCITED! 

Craft foam pinned together for the collar

the frooont

Weathered, Heat sealed, Mod podged sealed, glued

collar isnt attached the the tunic yeet

needs some black weathering. 

So that is after a day and a half of work, I didn't leave my craft room once I got home from work yesterday and today is no better, plus its raining so I don't want to leave the house today. Contacts have been found and with my prescription with is awesome! I'll be picking those up with my next pay check, I'm trying to make this as cheeap as possible. So far so good. The contacts are the expensive bit. 

I will be helping my friend with her Sub-Zero costume in the next few weeks, I am excited. I can't say it enough.
