Today I'm going to show you how I paint a variety of different materials on plastic models. These versatile painting techniques are the same that I use with cosplay, and can be repurposed for a variety of project needs. I like to use cheap and easily available materials. Let's go over the basics: Acrylic Paint: [...]
Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to write up a tutorial for Auriel but if you have questions feel free to send a message and I will do my best to help! This costume was made over the course of a few months. The primary material is EVA foam of varying thickness, a [...]
Hey guys! Finally getting around to doing a write up on how I made my classic Mercy from Overwatch costume. Unfortunately in the middle of this project I got a new phone (my go-to method to take progress pictures) and despite promises of keeping all my stored pictures, I lost most of it in the [...]
The convention started off rough and was a roller coaster of ups and downs. First off, it's a pretty far drive from where I live, but luckily there wasn't too much traffic. We went last year and parked in a dirt lot right across the street. We tried to park there again but were waved [...]
Wondercon remains my favorite convention of the year, but this year it came at a very stressful time for me both in my work and personal life. I wasn't able to finish the costume I had been working on, but I am so proud of the way its turning out that I didn't want [...]
Hey guys! Shout out to Chiburger Cosplay who wanted some advice on making her own Imp Mercy and inspired me to get off my lazy butt and write up a proper tutorial! Or as proper as I can make one considering the lack of good photos I have of the progress... Well then, let's begin! [...]
Hey guys, today I am going to show you how to make a versatile wing harness. It's simple to make but may take some work to adjust it properly. The great thing about this design is that you can use one harness for all your wings since the wings will be detachable for easy transportation [...]
At long last convention season has started up again! I missed the first con of the year because one of my horrible selfish friends came to our weekly game night sick and left me with the flu which I was unusually slow to recover from. Ahem. ANYWAY, Long Beach Comic Expo was a lot of [...]
Stan Lee's Los Angeles Comic Con, or Comikaze as I will forever call it, really reddemed itself. It's been a rollercoaster of a con! I've been attending ever since the very first year which was a great time for a new con. Then, over the course of a few years, my interest waned and things [...]
So, yesterday was Nerdbot con and it was pretty fun. It was very small and I had never been to the Pasadena convention center before. The layout was a little weird and all the stairs made it a little cosplay-unfriendly, but the outside was beautiful and there were many cool locations to take pictures at. [...]
