Isabela WIP #1bis : Pirate boots

Just better pictures !Expect the tutorial and patterns soon ✨✨Also 2Peach is almost ready to be worn but I'm waiting for the godamn headband !!!!

Isabela WIP #1 : Pirate boot(y)

First piece for Isabela is done !! Tbh I think I only do cosplay so I can have more boots and shoes.They're made with a cheap pleather fabric : https://www.craftine.com/tissu-simili-cuir-souple-et-epais-uni-roma-marron-chocolat.html with some random random cotton fabric for the lining.And because it was so shiny I had to spend so much time weathering it to make it look like believable leather. I thrifted some brown boots to go with it but I haven't received them yet ! Once I do, I will be able to complete my tutorial and upload it this ...

Hidden project WIP#7 : only missing the wig and crown

I received the base wig but I need to spike it... Send good vibes pls me and wigs are not friends at all.....I finished writing the tutorial for Boba Fett btw !! Coming out very soon !!!!!

Boba Fett first look !!

I didn't take any portraits yet, I'll be wearing him at a con this weekend hopefully I'll be able to get nice pictures !

Boba Fett Jetpack rewards & new project !

Let's start with the 'bad' news ahahah. I won't be able to publish the jetpack rewards for May, the tutorials is quite laborious to write and there's multiple patterns that go with it. I also made a 3d model that I need to adjust so it can used on most printers. You can expect all of these rewards at the beginning of June !To compensate the lack of patterns and tutorial this month I uploaded some prop blueprints into the reward folder. I'll send you a DM here on Patreon !NOW TO THE EXCITING NEWSMy next project will be a ...

Hidden project WIP #6 : Skirt & Katana

I ran out of embroidery thread but the skirt is done !!! Katana too !!On my to do list I now have :- paint boots- redo gloves (they really aren't comfortable at all)- add feather trim, pleather appliques and zippers to top- style wigAlso sorry I haven't been posting a lot of tutorials/blueprint this month... Materials for the jetpack are taking forever to arrive. Of I don't manage to finish it the next weekend, I'll upload old blueprint and patterns of mine to compensate 💚

MORE CIRI PICTURES

But better editedIf anyone is curious,- I first change my eye colour because I don't wear lenses. I have sensitive eyes, these would just me cry and ruin my makeup.- then I push a whole bunch of buttons in Lightroom. The trick is to really go for it and just try. I could perhaps screen record my editing process if you want to !- then I used another app to make makeup pop a bit more. I usually don't do this but the freckles I drew weren't visible at all because of the harsh lighting and it bothered me. It just added freckles. Nothing...

White wolf ? More like Lion Cub

Sooooo instead of good ol' Geralt I went for older Netflix Ciri ! I added some of her Witcher 3 look into this, like for the makeup and freckles ! These pictures are lightly edited (mostly eye colour and makeup fixes), but I might rework them later !! Really really love the green one, might turn it I to a print 💚I have a very difficult time seeing me in such a hair colour, definitely not used to it !

So !

I've been STRUGGLING the past few days, mostly with inspiration and materials.I don't know what kind of project I'll do next. I want to do something big and beautiful like my Doom Slayer. But what I originally was planning didn't feel... Entertaining and enjoyable enough ? I've been talking to a few friends of mine and together we found a project that could be very cool. Mixing Scandinavian mythology and science fiction. Involving cool EVA foam armor with plenty of textures, LEDs, fabric and leather work. Problem : that desi...

Hidden project WIP #5 : REGRETS

Tell me whose idea it was again ?Didn't want to order even more fabric sooooo I decided I would paint the appliques with fabric paint and it's nothing but paint.Would have killed for a cricut rn 🥲

Hidden project WIP #4 : finishing the Katana, gloves and base skirt

Ok so Katana : check. It's done. My handle wrapping is kind of meh but it's super hard and I didn't have the right kind of fabric so this will have to do !The gloves... Well, I'm not gonna lie, they're terrible. The pink fabric has a little bit of stretch in it but not much sooo they fit but are SO tight. I don't have enough to remake them, so they'll work for now. Once the fabric is in stock again I might remake them !Aaaaaand the skirt. I have the lining fabric ready but I'm waiting for the applique one and the...

Secret project WIP 3 : putting together the top

LET ME TELL YOU how difficult it was to find a nice vibrant pink fabric with the right characteristics. Hours of research, a dyeing fail and finally I found it. They only had 2m of it, which is just enough. Meaning I have no room for error now 🥲ANYWHOThe base for the top is done, I need to order pink transparent fabric, some pleather for the appliques, pink feathers and color matching zippers ! Next : the skirt and painting the boots a nice pink shade !

Secret project WIP 2 - Clothes mockup and Katana paintjob

Used a premade pattern and a bunch of old bed sheets and !!! Honestly looks good.My only problem is I don't know if I'll end up a double circle skirt or a simple one. I'm waiting on the horsehair braid to make a decision. Because the double circle skirt might become too poofy !Next step is : fabric dyeing. Couldn't find a perfect pink fabric. Please send prayers because I've never done that before 😢

Secret project WIP 1 - Foam Katana

Felt like I didn't have enough swords at home already 👁️👁️It's EVA foam with a 3d printed tube as a core. It's a bit wobbly but I'm fine with it ! I had to compromise since I wanted a thin blade !

Choose my next costume !

Sooooooo, I realized I'll finish 3 costumes one after the other fairly quickly... And then I don't have anything planned soooooooo, maybe help me choose ? 👀As always this list is subjected to change if I get commissionned or if I find some other instant passion project. For example I'd love to do something from HZD : Forbidden West or Tiny Tina's Wonderland. But since I haven't played the games, I don't really want to anything yet !BUT I'll take your choices into consideration ! 💚Here's the picture referenc...

I found my old stuff !!

My first full armor foam project 🥺 and my first Borderlands guns 🥺I remade this Sylvanas costume afterwards and I still have it, I might just take pictures of it but I HATE body painting. Might remake one of those guns for fun and giggles too !

What's coming in April ?

March was a BUSY month ! Between my full time job, my bethesda commission and trying to create quality Patreon rewards I barely had the time to breath ! But I managed 💪So what's coming this April ?🌿 I'm 95% done with Geralt, I only have to sand the swords, paint them and do a little bit of wig styling. Meaning you'll have the painting tutorial and all the finished pictures I'll take while wearing the costume.🌿 I'm 90% done with Katarina, only the swords are left, meaning you'll get the swords blueprint as well a...

Boba Fett boot covers

I finished them yesterday !!! They may not look mega fancy but I'm super proud of them ! I did my best to work on my sewing and it showed ☺️The tutorial for them is 16 pages long with more than 100 illustrations ! I'm almost done with it so you can expect it very soon (along with Katarina pauldrons tutorial)My next step is to work on the belt and holster !!!I also picked up a pattern for a future Patreon exclusive project, so stay tuned for that 👀

Boba Fett boot covers WIP pics

All I did today !- find where the fuck I put my pattern- pay respect to my furry landlord- cut out all the pleather and lining pieces- add interfacing to make pleather a but sturdier- ADD A ZIPPER at the back- connect front leg pieces and foot pieces- topstitch O'plenty- trying my best to get nice inside seams My original plan was to add lining inside the boot covers. But tbh I don't think it's necessary and it's a very skippable step. If I struggle too much, I will skip it ! Since the inside of the boot covers won't be visi...

Bonus blueprint of the month !

Hello ! I wanted to offer an additional blueprint this month ! Just tell me the one you're the most interested in ! And don't worry if your favorite doesn't get chosen, it'll maybe drop another month 💚

Geralt is done (well almost kinda)

Lemme plaster everything with blood, paint the swords and get a wig before !

Full unprimed Geralt armor 👁️👁️

It's almost completely painted now 👁️👁️Just don't know when will the wig arrive ! And when I'll be done with sanding my swords...

Scabbard thing pictures ?

I have four tutorials on the way, i'd say they're 90% completed at this point ! Patterns and swords 3d models are coming too !!Started priming my Geralt armor pieces et restarted working on Boba Fett. Starting February STRONG

GERALT BOOBIE PLATE

Fucking finally

Geralt of Rivia pauldrons WIP

Tutorial and patterns dropping VERY soon ! Sorry Maya didn't want to participate in the pictures this time 😭

Side project !!

Since Boba Fett is quite a technical project, I need something aside to take my mind off a bit. I decided I would make Geralt from the Netflix Witcher series. Except I'm gonna take it a bit further and make it a 'heavy armor' version or a 'mastercrafted' one (if you played the game).Meaning I'm gonna add some leg armor and other additional pieces. It's quite an easy project so I might have most of the patterns and blueprint done for January 😊
