Here I am again... In the meanwhile the convention for which I made my Fenrir outfit has passed. I am pleased to tell you that my outfit did finished in time (although the chest-armor didn't came out so nicely as I hoped it would be (also the wig was bit too much hairy for it).
I only have worn it for half a day as it seems the airco was malfunctioning and it was freaking hot in there. So after half a day, I went back into photography mode. But we are speaking about my costume here, so a few more pics about the building up and the result of it!

Everything cut out and glued together afterwards. That caused two
burning marks due to the hot glue (pic below). But after it I could start
painting it many many times

The final result!

Konnichiwa folks!
In the meanwhile I am working hard on my costume as I have only 9 days left for the conventions... The previous days I had been busy with taping myself to be able to make some patterns for my armor. Now all the patterns are cut out and I am busy with copying them to the craft foam and cutting them out. Here is my progress in pictures!
Sayonora and greetings, Binoshi!

| Adding the patterns to foam, my knees didn't like me :p |
 |
| Cutting it out... and as you can see I am going to use cycling gloves and cover shoes for my outfit as well (^_ |

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
It was a pretty busy weekend as the title said. Saturday I went to a meeting, from the Belgian Cosplay Community named CosplayCloud, in Leuven City. Around 40 people showed up and we explored a few comic stores, carnival store and a gameshop (mainly dedicated to cardboard games like dungeons & dragons, warhammer, ...). But before we went on a shopping spree, we had fun at the park playing some games over there. Some did some anime poses, other just did some chitchat and a big group just took part in a game "werewolves - hero edition". And of course I won as evil character Loki (^_^) YAY ME!!!
Some pics to give you an impression:

Oh well, up to the next day... I finally started with the first steps of my very first cosplay outfit. The character I will be playing is Fenrir Alioth Epsilon. He is an Epsilon God Warrior from the Anime "Saint Seiya" aka "Knights of the Zodiac" aka "Les Chevaliers du Zodiac". So here is a pic of a figurine from him:
And today I started with drawing out the patterns for the first parts of his armor! The Clawheads on his hands and his head armor (I don't know if I may call this a helmet). Well, here are two pics of the patterns I made. You may think that it is only the half of it... well it is because it is symmetric, I'll cut out the other half using the pattern multiple times.

I am glad that I've finally started working on it... hoping my outfit will be ready within 2 weeks. (That is why I haven't finished yet my bracelets :-) )

Hello fella's,
Here I am with a new blog. This time it is related with the bracelets. I continued working on them because they are my training material and I need to finish a Cosplay outfit before the 19th of October and darn, it is approaching fast! That day I will be going to F.A.C.T.S. (the largest convention of the Benelux).
Oh well enough blah blah blah... let's see how the work on my bracelets are evolving!
 |
| First I made my own Mod Podge with some old leftover glue (the blanco tube) and did 50/50 glue and water but it was still way too liquid. So I added some extra glue to it. Now it is better but still pretty liquid. Next portion that I will made is around 75% glue and 25% water! |
 |
| Then I hot glued the pieces of my bracelet together and ironed them afterwards (between sheets of flyers) to fold them into the right direction. (3 seconds of ironing and then you get around 10 seconds for heat-forming them). When that was done, I started with covering the bracelets with the Mod Podge. It took me half a day to add 7-8 layers on them. |
 |
| When the Mod Podge layer was done, I added the first layer of paint to it. My initial tought was making it gold or silver, but I hadn't it in my reach and I didn't wan't to buy it as it was just a test object. So I took the blue and it seems perfect for the cosplay outfit I have in mind. So lucky me!!! Now it still needs one or two more layers of paint and a layer of varnish! |

Hello my friends! Blogging time again (^_^)
Last weekend I went both days to a convention @ the Japanese Gardens in Hasselt (Belgium). First day was a rainy day but it didn't spoil the atmosphere! The second day it was a bright sunny day... so I decided to let you enjoy some pic's I took last weekend.

Yesterday I continued working on the creation of my bracelets. I drawed the sketch on the EVA-foam and cutted it out. My first experience with foam... Well I've learned a few things:
Yesterday I continued working on the creation of my bracelets. I drawed the sketch on the EVA-foam and cutted it out. My first experience with foam... Well I've learned a few things:
- It is very flexible: Cutting straight lines with a cutter and a ruler is a hard job to do for long lines. I thought I was still on the line but the longer I cutted the more the foam compressed together resulting into a curved line. So I had to recreate a part. My solution to this --> use a scissor!
- Cutting small pieces with round edges is still a pain in the ass with a cutter (isn't as smooth as I like) and with a normal scissor (is too large for small pieces). Will try it out someday with a smaller scissor
My next steps will be continuing the sketching on the foam and gluing the pieces together. Below you can see my progress so far!

Konichiwa (Hello) people!!!
Today I started with creating my FIRST item for Cosplay. Actually I am not that far advanced yet but after searching several days on the web for patterns, drawings and such I finally got it in my mind of how I wanted it. Now let me first tell you my plans.
Today I started with creating my FIRST item for Cosplay. Actually I am not that far advanced yet but after searching several days on the web for patterns, drawings and such I finally got it in my mind of how I wanted it. Now let me first tell you my plans.
My plans are first to discover how it is to work with some material before I go for the bigger challenges. So I found a tutorial on youtube from N1nja G1rl which I will use as my guidelines. Sawing the video below mades me decide to go for a bracelet as well, but still a bit different.
Well as you see her bracelet is a bit straight, making it as wide at the bottom as on top. I have decided to make one that would fit more to my arms and will be also a few cm's taller. So today I finished the first step in her tutorial and that is sketching it. Here is my sketch and the reason above explains why it has the shape of an upside-down trapezium. And on the second picture it is somewhat my aim on how I will try to make the outcome (by shape, not colors) and to stay in a Celtic mood I've chosen a Shamrock for the crest:
I hope you enjoy the idea of it :) Btw drawing Celtic knots (even when you have an example for your nose) is a pain in the ass!
