But really, the outfit looks incredibly legit ♡o♡ i hope to make one that's even nearly as good as yours
Good luck making your own though! I
*_*
I planing to cosplay him as well and I am really having problems with that black order sign and yours looks really good! Would you mind telling me, how you did it???
Are you talking about the metal cross thing?
You can't see mine very well in this picture, but there are several other photos in my gallery with better views of the cross, if you're interested. This one is the most clear shot of it (although it is upside down): [link]
I made it out of layers of craft foam and fabric paint.
I found a base design of the cross on DA, printed it out, traced around each "layer" from the flowery center down, cut the shapes out of craft foam, and then hot-glued them all together. I then began painting layers of fabric paint on top. Fabric paint will seal and harden the foam, but also keep it flexible and prevent cracking/chipping(unlike other types of paint). After the silver was applied I "weathered" it by drybrushing some black paint on top. Then I wrote on all of the letters and symbols with a fine-tip sharpie, attached the bumpy things, and glued it to the rest of the patch. It might seem a lot of work from that long explanation, but it was really quite easy! I hope that was helpful~
Your cosplays are already cool enough, but that you are also a cosplayer who helps other makes you even cooler
I just wanted to make it as good as possible my CosplayGroup (Lina-Lee, Yuu, Allen-kun)and I are also going to take part on a contest XD
So thank you very much again
Ahaha, back in the day (like four years ago) I would just sit on Gaiaonline's cosplay board and help find links and tutorials for people for like three hours a day. I know what it's like to be in a tight spot with a costume, where you're wracking your brain going "But... HOW?!" about the silly anime-physics of one thing or another. I love discussing craftsmanship with other people, especially ones who love a particular character as much as I do and want to bring them to life as well. I want to see people make good costumes that they are proud of, and if I can help point someone in the right direction then that's AWESOME!
That's super cool that you have a whole group. Good luck with your contest! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
And you are totally right: I mean the most exiting thing in creating a cosplay are the probs: 'Till now I always had the most fun in building e.g. my "little/big" hammer or Renos EMR while the costumes (the cloth) itselves sometimes just have driven me crazy XD (I am still not that good with the machines @_@)
(Please do not wonder - I moved my account today XD)
If you don't mind me asking a question, how did you made the pants? :3
First, I'll ask you to look at this picture, as it shows a better view of the pants: [link]
The pants are the same white ones that I used for Lavi's first uniform with what is essentially a pair of chaps pulled over them (the gray stitched part on top is also a part of the chaps). The chaps are basically skinny jeans with more added detail. I sewed pleather strips down the front and back, leaving a small gap in the stitching for the "belt" piece that wraps around the top to slide under. That belt looks like it buttons, but I actually made it connect with velcro and it really does hold the chaps up. The thing on the side with the button and rectangular metal bit is purely for decoration and I still can't figure out the purpose of it. I think I stitched it into the seams where the gray and black pieces meet, and then hand sewed to down so it would stay in place.
Sorry if that was confusing! I hope you got at least something from it. If you need clarification on anything, just ask. OTL
Are you asking because you want to make the uniform too?
No no, it's not. Thanks for the picture you linked, I understood the explanations really well according to how you made it
