I've been working hard on some new cosplays recently. Been in a hardcore ignore-all-of-society-unless-I'm-working mode. I've finally got my Sandslash jacket completed. Only took me 3 years. Now I'm going to start making my claw props for it. Just imagine Voldo's weapons that look like Sandslash's claws.
My Discord costume is nearing completion as well. The jacket is complete, the fur pelt vest is as well. The bird arm looks way better now that it's not duct tape. The lion paw was re-done as well, and this version doesn't have an underlayer of fabric showing through. (it wouldn't have been so bad if the underlayer wasn't bright blue...)
I'm going to recreate the wings after the Sandslash claws are done. The wings are going to be in this style
sunnybrook1.deviantart.com/art… so they'll move with my arms, and I'm going to attempt to recreate it for my other arm with the bat wing. The horns are still going through the fedora, which is also being used to cover up the horrid top of the wig which shows the wig lining and must be hidden at all times. I may or may not make some custom shoes for it, but in the meantime, I'm just using my one black one blue converse, which a lot of people seemed to like at MegaCon. I now have red contacts as well, so the only accessory I need now are some fangs and claw-nails for my bird arm. The pants were done eons ago, but I am still using a red studded belt as a wrap-around tail until I can actually make one, which will be done before the Sandslash claws.
As for my Hidan cosplay, I have all of the clothes, I have the scythe, but until I can get a better wig (it's the ugly Discord wig, and I can't hide Hidan's head with a hat) I refuse to ever do that cosplay. I found some decent looking ones on ebay and some other sites, so we'll see...
My Spike the dragon cosplay is now underway as well. I went to a yard sale and found 2 pairs of purple pants, hoping one would fit, and they both did, so I'm unsure as to what to do now. I have 2 wigs to choose from as well, one green mohawk, and one green emo cut. They both kind of work, so I'm on the fence. I don't have any purple shoes, and refuse to pay 80+ dollars for shoes for a costume, so I'll have to continue to hunt for them... I have the green underbelly shirt, but until I can find a purple jacket that I can customize, or maybe a purple vest... I can't do him yet either.
I just started a Marshall Lee cosplay as well, but can't do that until I lose a few more pounds. Lost 5 in a week, thanks to DDP Yoga, and plan to continue the intense workouts until I'm fit. I have his red flannel shirt and his blue jeans which is easy enough, but I need some red converse, and once again, not paying 80 dollars for shoes. I may end up making an Ax Bass to carry for this costume too, but I won't have any progress on this costume at least until MegaCon next year.
Tomorrow I'm going to Goodwill and a few other stores to continue to hunt for cosplay gear, and prop-making gear, so I may have some more news then. If I have some time before or after work, I'll get some pictures of my latest work so you all can see. Until then, I love you all.
