    Finally finished this wig. I tried to do what one anon said about fluffing the curls, which should not have been an issue... Man, those curls had a mutiny to the point where I had to pull the glue off of the fibers and re-pig tail the left side. I tried. They fought the good fight and I gave up.

    Hey seagulls, I'm going to the Texas Renaissance Festival next weekend and a friend and I bought cool masks at the mall for the very occasion.
    However, we don't know what to do.

    I've been working on my Wanda costume for a post-Halloween party tomorrow but I ran out of time to finish the wig (specifically the bangs). I pinned them in a curl for the time being.

    Wow anons, you guys made my morning. I really appreciate the complements. I wish I was a wizard, but I made this with my feeble mortal hands.

    To answer the question of what it's for, it's for a costume I'm designing for myself. I don't have the sewing done yet, so I can't show you.

    The pic is the inspiration for the wig. Again, thanks guys for the complements.

    Very nice! It could do with a thin pannier for that extra bit of non-floppiness, but other than that it looks great.
    As for the braids, just do them further back so they fall behind your shoulders like the in the figure and it'll be fine.

    you don't make LED's brighter, lowering the resistance too much will blow out the led, don't think "oh theres probably just a small chance of that..." NO, too little resistance they will blow and become useless

    buy brighter leds that is the ONLY option

    Your sewing on the hood looks a bit weird, same goes for the ears. Are the ears even attached to your wig? I don't know if it's the picture but they look like they're just sitting on the hood to me. Also, I'd like to see a picture with makeup.

    Unfinished skirt and wig for my Homura Akemi cosplay! I haven't got anything else yet so the other clothes are just placeholders. I'm really looking forward to doing the rest since I haven't cosplayed for a long while now.

    I've never had a wig this long before so I'm kind of worried about the inevitable tangling... I need to get some of that silicone spray people say is a good detangler.

    I'm not sure if I'm going to posting a tutorial for this wig. I do have all of my progress pictures on my cos.com which can give you an idea of how I started it. I'm thinking about opening commissions for to make this particular wig. If I end up not doing commissions I will probably do a write up. You're more than welcome to ask me questions about it either on the photos or pm.
    http://www.cosplay.com/gallery/189663/

    As for keeping things smooth I use hair spray constantly. For bringing the fiber around the bow (I used a base bow made out of batting) I sprayed the fibers then bent it around the batting and sprayed it again. I also will use got2b spiking spray intermittently depending on what I'm doing, you don't want to use it too much as it will start to make droplets.

    Hope that helps anon, again feel free to ask me questions. It would be better to ask on cos.com as I don't check here a whole lot.

    Brought out the Dremel and sandpaper and reshaped my rings for Mikuni from [C]. They were previously about 2mm taller (thus uncomfortable) and far less smooth, and the design on the one was just a plain rectangle. (And then, while getting screencaps for my coat, I saw the real design).
    First coat of gesso drying now, going to give it a second coat before repainting. Lot of bubbles in the Smoothcast it seems.

    This is a long ass post explaining a lot of features and work on this prop. Sorry in advance.
    After less than 24 hours, my Yoko rifle is done. We worked over 12 hours yesterday to finish this before the con this weekend, and then about 8 hours today, totaling roughly 20 hours. I swear, it's a miracle that it came out this great.
    I had help with the construction, but I was still heavily involved with the process of making this rifle! I don't take full credit, though, my friend was gracious enough to let me use his shop and tools.
    First off, the handle and magazine, as well as the butt of the gun are made of MDF. We heated up some black plastic (my friend informed me it was industrial-grade plastic) and bent it over the butt of the gun and nailed it down with a nail gun. The muzzle is also made of the same plastic, cut into 6 strips and attached to a piece of PVC that we slid and glued (with the help of some wedges we fashioned out of spare wood) over the barrel, also PVC, just smaller in diameter. There's a cocking mechanism that we had to figure how to make too. Basically, it's a piece of PVC that fits inside the other piece, with a screw+little wooden circular cap on top (acting as the pin) epoxied onto the inside section of PVC. There's a spring in the back to create tension as you pull back on it. It's held closed with magnets, because it kept sliding down and open before we put magnets inside. The magazine clip is also removable, and I can store my ID, cash, and other small objects inside. The barrel itself has to be screwed into place with a Philips screwdriver.
    The gun is well over 6 feet tall. I'm 5'2", but my Yoko boots add 2-3 inches. I left a ton of crap out, but I'm tired of typing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
    Sorry for the long post, again. I'm still in the process of painting this and adding the pink strap. I'll keep posting my progress as I paint.

    I went and got the hides to make Barnaby's jacket yesterday, and I honestly just can't wait until I start on this jacket now because oh my god these things are so freaking quality.

    The red is moose hide, and I think the white is deer but I'm not entirely sure.

    mmmmmmmm my room smells like a tack shop I love it so much.

    I guess it's sort of progress, but I finally remade my Toxic Avenger hoodie after the cat walked all over it while it was drying a few years ago. I wasn't actually planning on rewearing it anywhere, though.

    When things can go wrong...
    So the first coat of gesso didn't dry properly. Not sure why, maybe the pot went bad or I should have mixed it better. Basically had to sand all the gesso off, and that was not fun with slightly gooey gesso. So, shit is not as smooth as I wanted. Oh well.

    Sometimes with gesso the first coat has a hard time sticking to the material (espectially plasticy things), so it takes a looong time to dry. If you'd had left it over night it would have been fine. :/

    You should also thin it with water before applying.

    spray starch! you can get it at the grocery store in the laundry detergent aisle. spray some on your pleat and iron it down. keeps pleats nice and crisp.

    of course this assumes that you used some kind of cotton blend fabric.

    So far I stoped everything I was doing and worked on the book of clow. I noticed how the book wasnt 100% Anime accurate, so I was wondering how it would look if I repainted the sides gold and add red gems afterwards.
    so far here is my progress. I am already liking how the re painted version looks compared to the original (the one on the right is the original). I just need to find a way to seal the liquidex on where it wont chip off :x

    Okay, so I'm working on Terra/Atlee as a last minute deal. I was stupid and didn't use interfacing while sewing my zipper to spandex (hi, I'm a moron) and just did a light stitch to hold it in place before I actually sewed it on. Now, the bumps aren't horrible, but I'm not digging them at all, so erm.. is there something I can do, or am I gonna have to take this whole thing apart and do it all over again? ;-;

    Bumping with a new Makoto (iDOLM@STER 2/im@s anime) wig being worn with just eyeliner and contacts, booya. My old wig was totally horrible and bad, but I actually like this one. It's a little bit more anime than game, but that's so that it suits my face better.

    It doesn't look like much but I had to custom-dye the color (that the webcam doesn't show) with three methods before one of them took, straighten the entire wig weft-by-weft (because the only method that got that particular color was boiling a heat resist wig in RIT dye), and then cut and style the wig itself. Way more effort than it looks like! I'm using a slightly different ahoge technique this time than I normally do... I'll find out this weekend if it photographs well or if I should redo them with the older method!

    Finally stretched the fabric over the EVA foam and painted the green strips. Will be doing the collar next and then the "SoftBank" lettering.

    Derp. PVC fabric. Not fabric. That'd be dull.

    i don't mean to be rude, but can somebody please tell me how to do this? The bangs. The blue-black part is thicker than the pink and its hard to separate them.

    Sorry for the crappy picture and not having the rest of the costume on, it's in the process of being painted.
    Wig wip for my Disciple cosplay (the horns will go under once it's done and the wig will be a lot bigger). I actually have a question on styling. I'm not experienced with it at all, as you can see. I wanted to flip out the ends, but no matter what method I try to make it hold, the fibers remain straight. Round brush and low heat dryer, good hairspray, fabric glue, etc. I'm guessing I just looked up the wrong tutorials or I'm using the wrong materials, because it doesn't seem like it should be that difficult. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm glad to see a lot of quality progress pictures, keep up the good work everyone.

    Customize like crazy!! I had to create a mask for a ball and I started with a plain white mask and came up with this.

    I SAW THAT WIG FLOATING AROUND ON TUMBLR I SAID IT WAS THE PRETTIEST WIG I HAD EVER SEEN. You are amazing. <3

    try a razor comb! it's what I used to get that soft piecey look in this thread, and it really is nice for bangs because it lets you thin hair!

    >>5149518
    What is your wig fiber? You may end up wanting to get a bunch of curlers and not roll them up all the way and then heat the hair and let it cool around the roller. I had to do that to get flip-ends on a wig recently. You might also want to see if flatiron curls (like what you do on hair) work on the wig; it's worth a shot!

    Thank you <3 All of the other characters I've ever cosplayed have had straight bangs or plain ol swept aside bangs.

    Thanks for the advice! I thought of trying curlers, but I don't have any that would be the right size. I'll look around for something though. Also, the website said it was hyperlon fiber.

    did my test run of a papercraft Varia Suit helmet recently, and then realized half way through assembly that the helmet was actually for the Power Suit. Since it was a test, it was just my regular printer paper thankfully, and not my nice card stock paper.

    I've just started doing papercraft stuff recently, and thought Hey, why not do a metroid cosplay?

    I'm starting on the final Varia helmet in ten minutes.

    My planning for the build goes like this:

    >Build helmet in sections
    >fiberglass the inside of each segment
    >put segments together
    >fiberglass the seams between each section
    >bondo the outside
    >sand
    >repeat last two steps until outside is smooth
    >paint
    >attach visor
    >done with helmet
    >repeat with the rest of the suit

    uh, what reference are you using that has a different power suit helmet from the varia helmet
    >> Anonymous 11/11/11(Fri)18:18 No.5150890
    >>5150853
    Well, if you examine the details of each helmet, the Power Suit's is more narrow, and doesn't have the "tabs" on the top and bottom of the visor.

    In addition, the back of the Power Suit's helmet curves downward a lot more than Varia's,

    >>5150890
    Again, what reference are you using? The "tabs" you're talking about was a stylistic change that came with Prime 2 and has been on every visor since (except for Brawl). The helmets should be exactly the same

    Well, I'm always used to the Prime 2 design I guess.

    *shrug* Whatever then.

    Finally finished piecing together the helmet,except for the tubs on the front, which won't take any time at all.

    I've got to be completely honest here.

    It looked like you had a pair of huge white hairy hanging testicles tacked to the front of your pants int the thumbnail.
