IRONICALLY SWEALTERING

This is really cool. Nice job!


It looks good and all, but why'd they half-rear end the walkman? Shouldn't it be easy to go and find a portable cassette player?

Guardians cosplay has also made old ones really hard to find. A lot of my cosplay friends have been 3D printing them or doing sculpts with decals and whatnot because normal Walkmans (walkmen? hmm) are in demand.

I'm working on Sorceress Edea from FF8 right now so I'm all about Pixiekitty's Edea and Adel Ultimecia cosplays right now.

Kids cosplaying in well made costumes is always soooo much cooler to me than adults doing it. Adult cosplay is cool, but man, I wish my parents had made me such awesome outfits instead of just wrapping me in toilet paper and calling me a mummy.

If you don't mind sharing trade secrets, how are you handling the weird curtain assembly she wears on her back?

I guess, to be more specific, what are you making it out of? I've seen a few friends over the years put together Edea costumes, and they were all grumpy about the backpiece thing. One gal, who is very handy with ornate carpentry, actually made hers out of balsa. Wish I still had photos of it, because it was pretty amazing. It also had the benefit of not weighing a darn thing, but it sadly met its demise when she stumbled getting into an elevator :(

So what I'm doing for mine is making the struts out of hollow aluminum rod for the straight parts, then I'm doing the top finials out of a thermoplastic called Worbla. It's very light, pretty durable, and when you heat it you can mold it like clay so I'm basically making plastic 'snakes' out of my huge bag of scrap pieces and shaping them. I did a vector design of the whole thing and printed it off to scale to help all the sculpting so I just do the plastic right on a piece of paper. The connecting circular thingers between the 7 straight struts will probably also be worbla. I'll coat the worbla parts in wood glue so the texture difference to the aluminum is less obvious. Then the whole thing will all mount into a half-circle wood plate that will mount to my back with backpack straps and an underbust strap, this part will also have a piece that extends down my spine to stabilize the whole rig.

I've only built one so far and I want to do just a bit more refining of the shape and blending between the aluminum and the worbla but here it is so far!


e. I just laughed out loud about my 'trade secrets,' it's more the case that I won't shut up about my build plans :shobon:

So I've been on a long-term project going through a couple of storage rooms, and throwing out 90% of everything in there as they haven't been unpacked in 2 or more moves (i.e. decades).

Guess what I threw out last week?

I hear some people don't like BL cosplay that goes for the full aesthetic with the drawn outlines and stuff, but how can you dislike a job like this. I'm kind of in awe.
Also, I can't tell if they're crossplaying or just a really femme dude, but either way :swoon:



Source of the pictures, I don't know who the cosplayer is

i'm dumb and miss fairly obvious things like "the pictures were taken of this tumblrite not by them, also they're clearly a lady if you look at their other work"

It's probably nipple pasties and double sided tape/glue, which probably is the least comfortable thing at the end of the day. I also loled super hard at her ammo pouches because they are the standard Ultra Pro Deck Box people use for Magic cards.
