((ooc: Hey howdy hey ya’ll! Sorry I’ve not been posting as of late, I started working on my costume all day every day since I finished up finals last month! Here are some lil sneak-peeks at my progress! I posted my first costume-progress pic a few months ago–but then I decided to scrap what I’d done and start all over, cuz I’m crazy and don’t value my physical/mental health or sleep >8DI had originally intended to make my costume using the foam-covered-with-fabric technique, but I wasn’t satisfied with how it was looking, plus I was concerned about how durable it would be. So! I decided to take another route–coating the foam/foam core boards with fiberglass resin to make it hard like plastic and spray painting it! It’s my first costume, so it’s o'course not gonna be perfect, but I’m proud of how it’s turning out so far, this is a big project for me! X)*all the dark grey pieces you see are unfinished/before resin-coating and painting, just so ye know xD; *I’ve got platforms built into the “boots”, so I’ll be a few extra inches tall, and I reckon the addition of Cyc’s horn will make me something around… maybe 6'5 or something xD Also, I’ve got a nifty set of red LED lights for the eyes! Don’t worry, though, I’ve taken precautions to assure that no one will be blinded by them, the custom optic lenses/casings I made dim down the brightness intensity. X) It’s all coming along quicker than I’d expected, so I should be finished within the next few weeks, just in time for BotCon! Lemme know if you’re gonna be there, I’d love to meet ya’ll!)) -- source link
