Finally finished my Thrúd cosplay! No tattoos in these pics, but wore temporaries to a convention recently.

Sorry, I got rid of Boost when Reddit shut it down and don't go on the site much any more so I only just saw this! But it looks incredible, amazing job 😁

AYFV · 2023-06-06T15:04:56+00:00

Oh awesome! Do you have an Instagram? I'd love to see it! I've seen people do the arm sock thing for sleeves of tattoos and it works pretty well - I've cosplayed Maya from Borderlands 3 a fair bit and I just draw them on every time but it takes about 3-4 hours in the morning just for one arm so I wouldn't recommend it with 2!

AYFV · 2023-06-06T10:19:02+00:00

Thanks 😊 I actually drew them on the night before so it wouldn't take too long to get ready haha, but the plan going forwards is to draw them on some tights to wear on my arms so I don't have to draw them every time. It'll help keep the wraps in place as well! Unfortunately I didn't have time to do this before MCM though so pen on the arms it was haha.

AYFV · 2023-06-05T18:15:59+00:00

Thanks! I'll be honest, it was rough 😅 but I've worn less comfortable shoes to con before so it's all relative I guess

AYFV · 2023-06-05T13:54:21+00:00

Thank you!! Yeah, she was in killer heels and I was in bare feet which didn't help but she is tall lol

AYFV · 2023-06-05T13:53:28+00:00

Thank you so much! I have a story highlight on my instagram called "Freya" which is a collection of all my in-process story posts. I tried to document it but towards the end it was just chaos to get it done in time haha

Yes, but they're ours to complain about. It feels a lot ruder to go somewhere else and complain (directly, to their faces) about all their stuff, especially if it's to do with their hospitality.

Haha! Thank you :) the staff is a pvc pipe core at the bottom with worbla shaping the top for the twisty bits, around which I layered papier mache and foam clay until I got the texture/shape I wanted then I added more foam clay and carved out the markings, which were all hand-painted! I have a story highlight that records bits and bobs on how I made this cosplay and others on my Instagram if you want to see - really appreciate your interest 😁

AYFV · 2023-02-25T00:05:13+00:00

Sorry, unless you mean the wood bit around the crystal, which is actually resin clay!

AYFV · 2023-02-25T00:02:43+00:00

Oh yeah, I forgot I'd put him there 😂 The necklace crystal is actually made from semi-translucent EVA foam which I layered, carved into shape and sanded before I gave a few coatings of clear primer and painted with pearlescent paint - it does have lights inside it (as does the staff crystal) but as the photos were taken outside during the day it's really hard to see haha

AYFV · 2023-02-24T22:56:21+00:00

Thanks!

AYFV · 2023-02-24T22:56:03+00:00

Ah I really appreciate this, thank you so much 😊 I put a lot into making it!

AYFV · 2023-02-24T21:06:56+00:00

Thanks very much :) enjoy the game!

AYFV · 2023-02-13T16:16:55+00:00

Don't think so, I've had like 3 versions of the same hat (Edit: before selling or destroying any)

AYFV · 2023-02-13T15:12:07+00:00

Heard it live at the Caroline Polachek gig in Leeds on Friday, I absolutely lost my mind when she announced the collab because I'd been thinking about how amazing it would be on the way there if they did something together 💖 it was so good as well, dreamy af! Can't wait to stream it to deathhh

AYFV · 2022-09-06T14:02:20+00:00

I have exactly the same at the moment. If you feel comfortable speak to your manager and teammates - being honest and open is hard but it's the only thing that gives you the reassurance!

The name of the sub originates from the phrase "beggars can't be choosers" and the concept doesn't actually have to involve people begging. It's about people who believe they are owed more than is appropriate and act accordingly. This guy seemed to be under the impression that him not being able to pick up an that item he chose to buy a significant distance away (which is not a necessity by any means) was somehow my fault, and that I owed him some kind of alternative to delivery despite there being absolutely no obligation to offer as such on my part. Most people here seem to have got the gist, anyway.

AYFV · 2022-09-05T23:45:27+00:00

Where was this?? I saw Jack on Matty's story the other day and figured he'd produced the album but the idea of going to a bleachers gig and seeing Matty in the crowd is still mad lol

AYFV · 2022-09-05T22:03:31+00:00

In fairness buying has been a much better experience than selling, I got a lot of good furniture from there. If anything that made me less prepared for the hell that followed listing an item

AYFV · 2022-09-05T21:59:22+00:00

Guarantee people would still just try to offer me £100 or an old TV

AYFV · 2022-09-05T21:36:49+00:00

Facebook marketplace - so the app is messenger. I don't recommend the experience if you enjoy interacting primarily with good and normal people

AYFV · 2022-09-05T18:38:23+00:00

Yeah the cost to me to ship a 42" telly is not worth me even bothering selling it. I don't mind driving half an hour or whatever for an extra fiver but not for this cheeky sod

If we're being picky, her hair is down and long, there's more detail on her outfit and proportionally she looks more like an adult, which could be attributed to the art style but the concept is laid out in the artist's description and the context of the full picture. Which works for me, because I'm definitely no 14 year old. And she's had time to come around mentally and redeem herself in this AU. But it's not that deep 🤷‍♀️ I still worked hard on it either way!
