Guildmarm/Sophia WIP

 Hi everyone! ^^


Long time no see! I've been super busy with work and moving in, but I'm trying to balance my life now so that I have more time to actually be creative and work on costumes a little more. I try to make progress everyday, doesn't matter how small. Sometimes it's literally just one layer of paint or a little bit of hand stitching, but it's better than nothing, right? 

Today I wanted to show off some progress I've made on Guildmarm or Sophia from Monster Hunter 4. It's honestly about time I make a MonHun-cosplay! Also about time to do a cosplay makeup test! Haven't practiced cosplay makeup in such a long time and it shows... ^^'' Makeup is all about practice after all, heh. Sadly I don't have all the progress pics I needed, but here's at least some of them. Enjoy!

The base jacket...

Added details! (missing lining)
The jacket was definitely the most difficult part so far! Not that I've done that much, but regardless! The lining ended up being a piece of work (probably 'cause I was a little drunk while cutting and sewing oooooops). It wasn't a terrible mess though, easy fix in the next morning I woke up.

I wasn't sure how to do the "patches"/emblems on her jacket and headdress. I've seen people make them into fabric patches, but also some making them look like they're metallic. 

Looking at this I ended up making them out of foam and give it a metallic look with paint.





 
I know it looks rough, but it looks fine attached on the jacket.

Stuff for the headdress. I just basically built it on a regular hairband.

The base before I glued it on the band.

The wig looks super messy here. The feather was made out of foam as well.

I cut the patterns for the scarf and before sewing I tested it out first. It was pretty simple. ^^

And now to the makeup test!

I don't have the right shirt yet, so a basic white dress shirt had to do.

I feel like the makeup was ok, I really like the base. I might go with a smaller pair of lenses though, these ones are too cutesy for what I was originally going for.

This is what I actually looked like when I took the photos. :'D Sophia is rocking some comfy pyjama pants!

This is it for today. I honestly almost lost motivation to continue with her almost, until I tested my progress all together and saw an actual costume taking a little form. It actually looks like a cosplay almost! x) Moving on to the shirt! See you later~❤

Crystal Mommy part 2

 Hi everyone! This time we are working on Venat's mask and other little accessories she has on her robe. Picture found from google, probably the most clear shots I could find where the mask is seen clearly Ancient mask sold in Square Enix-shop The overall silhouette of the mask I cut from from 3mm foam sheet. I did a couple paper drafts first to get the size right.   I also drew on the pattern for some reason? Good thing I did though.. I wasn't sure what I was doing. I tried covering it and do the details with black worbla, but that didn't turn out right... I'm Buttman! And here's the botched detail work... It's very goofy and the placement is so off! RAHHH Me with this (and every) cosplay So.. I heated it up just a little bit and ripped the worbla off from the mask. It wasn't glued on or anything and came off pretty easily... The worbla mask shell.. a husk even. The foam itself was fine, a few scratches aside. The design also was visible, so I decided to us

Tracon 2024 Summary!

Image
 Hi everyone! Tracon was held 6.-8.9 once again in Tampere Talo. We skipped last year since there were so many wrongs in Tracon 2022. I heard a lot of good things about last year though and decided to attend this year. Main entrance   Our trip to Tampere started on Thursday after Don finished his shift. The train trip went well and hotel wasn't far either. I was quite tired, but didn't skip skincare. I tried one of those Disney Villain face masks and felt my villain arc begin. The mask left me feeling sticky and gross. After night cream though my face felt ok. Still would not recommend, especially if you have sensory issues. I got if for free though, so can't complain too much. I don't know if the serum did anything useful. Ehhhh First day of convention! We woke up pretty late, but the con wouldn't open before 15.00, so we could take the day slow. My cosplay for the day was Venat from Final Fantasy XIV. The weather was nice, but also quite warm, we were prepared for

Nekocon 2024 Summary!

Image
 Hi everyone! Nekocon was held 13.-14.7 in Kuopio's Musiikkitalo once again. My journey there started on Friday. My traveling companion and boyfriend Don had work that day, so we planned to leave once he got back home. Departure ended up taking an hour or two longer though. Driving there went ok, though google maps gave us a weird route to a different place. I don't know if it was a typo on our part or maps just being weird, but after a while we found our airbnb. Firith and Shiro Samurai were super nice and fetched our tickets for us, so we didn't have to wait in line during the con day. Thank you guys lav juu! ❤ The main entrance The ticket The theme this year was creatures and weirdos, which was a perfect opportunity for me to bring Ix Elizabetta from Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun!. Last time I wore this costume was Desucon 2023. I've made a couple improvements since then, like a whole new skirt with better patterns, new tail and fixed sleeves.. I still need to
