In case anyone’s interested, the process I’m doing is making the shapes out of foam and then (this isn’t done yet, obviously) scrimming over them and then I will paint it all. I went for that instead of the fabric-over-foam method because Sparkeater is all broken/old/rusty looking and I thought since I love painting it’d be more interesting for me to do it that way. I’ll be able to get some really cool detailing and rusty effects I think.The tentacles are foam tube things that one of my tutors found in a scrap store covering thick wire. The claws were cut from the plastazote, same as most of the rest of the costume. They’ll obviously be positioned way better by the time the costume is done. I just gaffer taped them onto the back of the chestpiece temporarily to take photos and make sure they would actually look okay.On the feet, those wheels have resin casts of bolts on them and the little wheels on the front have individual tire treads cut out of foam and stuck on.What you see on the dressform is a basic shape to go under the main armour. It needs to be scrimmed before I can make any more of the chest. And I am still waiting for the scrim to arrive.I’ve done more on the details on the tentacles since I took these photos but I will upload photos when they’re more complete.I also have the fingers/some of the arms done, buuut they’re all in pieces til they can be scrimmed so I couldn’t be bothered to put them together just to include them in the photo.Even though this is eating (no pun intended) my life right now I’m enjoying it so much :>the amount of boners i have is astoundingI HOPE I CAN HANG OUT WITH YOU, MR.
