Arkham Knight Harley - The base of the costume and the harness

-
Image
I have been slowly creating the harness and gathering materials for this confusing costume. I found two skirts from Goodwill. The first one has two layers of ruffles and the other skirt I found was a similar fabric so I layered them, this creating the three layered black skirt! I will be cutting the back of the skirts open to create a dress (with a top being sewn and added of course) with a large zipper down the back. I hope this makes sense. I am still trying to figure out how to "build" this simply because sewing this just won't look good- at least to my standards of the cosplay I wear- I also am building off a hot pink corset LOL. _______________________ Here is some photo references I have been using for specifically the harness and white shirt (I plan to make the two into a jacket that stays on via the harness). __________________________________ This is the harness pinned together with a practice white shirt. I used fake leather that is used for the cordi...

Smashmigos- Roy: breastplate done, Ike: part of shoulder/forearm done

-
Image
   My colors of blue are not absolutely correct but I feel like when all three are next to each other it will look better. I still need to do A LOT for Ike as well as finish the details on Roy's shoulders. I also need to add belts to the armor so they can stay on lol, I plan to do that with stretchy brown ribbons or anything similar and glue them on the inside with barge (I found that fabric glue worked <with Dark Magician Girl> but barge was just easier to attach fabric to foam compared to using fabric to attach fabric to fabric). Please understand that the "paint strokes" seen are not paint- that is the Mod Podge that I painted on underneath, I spray paint all of my work because it is easier and doesn't leave behind super visible paint strokes. Some of these pictures maybe blurry- my hands get shaky when I work on these guys, it seriously makes me that excited. Marth has yet to be touched still, but I do have his gold and blue colors of paint now. -Roy bust...

Smashmigos- Made a mistake....

-
Image
Made the ultimate oops when painting. I painted all the pieces black, THEN painted on top of that blue which made the black underneath peel. Sooo have to redo Roy's knees. I finally got Marth all cut out! Need to get the boyfriend over for a day to mold it C:. So to fix my mistake I put some layers of mod podge on everything else that was black then sprayed it white- turns out black dulled the blue way too much :T. -Roy bust and shoulders- -Roy shoulder in the top right corner, the black and white piece is a tester, the rest are Ike-

Rangiku Matsumoto- The only progress photos I got D:

-

I did make this entire cosplay I just never took many photos because I was recovering from a surgery during it and just wanted to get the cosplay done on time. But I did make it! Only things I bought was the wig and zanpakto. -Wig before being styled (wig from Arda wigs: Classic Buttercup in Light Copper Red)- -Wig after I styled it and cut a bit, it looks kinda bad on but I love it here lol- -Made my own loom and wove the weird straw shoes myself!-

Smashmigos- Forming Roy and some of Ike, as well as, base coats and sealing

-
Image
Some cosplay progress pictures of the forming. I am not sure why I haven't gotten much of Ike but I will try to update him and Marth just as much, when I made these I had nothing of Marth done yet. I gave them all (that I did have cut and formed) a few layers of mod podge and a base coat of black spray paint- which I ended up making white instead. -Formed Roy's chest- -This was a video that I screenshot from my Snapchat, so Ike's stuff isn't visible. This is Roy's chest and one knee. Also to make those indents I cut it slightly with a box cutter then heated it and it expanded to look like that- -A snapchat screenshot of another video I made showing my bad seams cx- -My right shoulder with the weird seam- -The left shoulder that ended up looking better lol-

Smashmigos- First Pieces

-
Image
Started to create patterns for Roy and Ike. I could do those two because -duh- I will be Roy and always can measure myself but also my twin will go as Ike and she lives with me. Marth I had to wait a bit for a chance to measure my boyfriend. I got all three completely cut out at this point. I am waiting to find shoes before I start on Ike's shoe armor though.  -The last of the cutting for Roy, which made me so happy!- -The upper triangle on Ike's right shoulder piece- -Roy's main chest piece and the little bit that goes under it-
