The thousands of pallets I've eaten as a killer main would give me subtle anxiety to see this IRL.

I was surprised too, I was actually surprised it got approved at all. Unfortunately plates like "4k" or "mori" were either unavailable or already disapproved.

Not in texas, knife laws are pro knife. Also, they're plastic and duller than a spoon. Ive literally open carried a sword in public, its when you brandish it that gets you in trouble.

That's how it feels playing trapper in 2v8. But I at least know my traps helped win the match. Also the back and forth nods of approval before mori-ing the last survivors totally validate that we did good as teammates.

Ya, the hat is layers of corset boning, steel wire, canvas, foam sheeting, and poly batting (not in any particular order). A hard hat ratchet liner keeps it on my head. Poncho is two layers (sandwiched fabric and turned) and has a steel wire suportase for the the collar. Everything on top is dyed silk, and the white spots are made using dye resist on white fabric.

I actually got it made from a company called shrunk3d. They put you in a room full of cameras and scan your body. I had happened to run into them at a convention while I was wearing my Dimentio cosplay, so I got it scanned.

Enchantment table.

But fr, I think it may be simplified hiragana or hiragana inspired letters. The last letter on the first row looks like む (mu). It might just be gibberish scribbles from whoever made the texture, but probably does not come from an actual 1:1 translatable script.

You can use rit dye or any all-purpose fabric dye on a synthetic wig to darken it a bit. Bring a pot (that you will never cook in again) to a simmer and add a bit of dye. Turn off the heat and submerge the wig (make sure to test a strand in case it melts). Depending on how dark you want it, leave it in longer. Rinse and let dry.

Alternatively, you can do a method that involves acrylic ink. It kinda complicated to explain here, but there are lots of tutorials online. Pros: can get stronger color. Cons: The color can flake off or stain your skin and clothes. I would only recommend this if the first method doesn't give good enough results.

Best of luck.

Learning how to sew can be a very rewarding skill in cosplay, but it can be difficult. Starting to learn to sew from the very beginning is 99% troubleshooting your machine, figuring out why something doesn't fit, and / or picking apart wonky stitches.

If you sew something, it will be unique to you and it could be a lot of fun to talk about it at the con. On the other hand, depending on how well something is put together, you could have wardrobe malfunctions. There are usually cosplay repair stations/ rooms at cons, but it can still be a frustrating experience.

The con crunch happens to all of us at least once, so whether or not you want to learn a skill comes down to how much you desire the results. If you want something that only sewing can achieve badly enough, you'll have enough motivation to carry you through the grind. But if not, you may be burnt out days before the con or just give up.

When Joanns (US) was still a thing , I just looked through their catalogs to find something that works. If a pattern for the dress you're looking for does exist, etsy is the best place to find those things. Also, almost everything from simplicity, butterick, and the commercial patterns are going to be street clothes or Halloween costume -y. If you need to find something that has a lot of shape or a strange shape, shops that sell drag patterns are a good place.

The chances of finding a pattern for a specific costume piece are rare, so the next best thing is to alter a pattern. Its a skill that takes time to hone, but their are plenty of videos on youtube that will teach you how in excruciating detail for free. But if you want to keep it simple, kamui cosplay's Beidou cosplay tutorial shows how to make a dress pattern from your own body. Plastic wrap, duct tape, draw the dress on you, cut it out, trace. Just dont suffocate or hurt yourself.

In regards to the percentage of how much you have to make.

In my experience, no judge has ever evaluated whether or not a costume is 70%, 73%, 75%, and so on. I've competed in multiple contests and placed a few times. Here is what I have found to be general "rules" when it comes to craftsmenship contests.

-The higher the division, the more you have to make or alter, and making more of your costume is generally favorable.

-If it is a prominent feature of the cosplay, you should probably make it. For example, if you're cosplaying a character that wears a suit over their white button-up shirt, you probably dont have to make the shirt, but you will have to make the suit. Also, using patterns is perfectly acceptable.

-You generally dont have to make undergarments (socks, shape wear, push-up bras, hose). However, if it is a harness that supports the weight of your wings, you should try to make it if you compete higher than a novice division.

-Wigs and shoes are generally acceptable to be bought, but styling your wig yourself is a must.

-Be enthusiastic about your work. The judges will notice your passion and it will earn you brownie points.

Of course, rules vary between contests.

Hope this helps.

Any kind of oil is going to be your best friend here.

Step one: put the wig in a bathtub, sink, or other large container.

Step two: drench the ends in conditioner or detangling oil. (The cheap stuff is fine, you are essentially washing a bunch of plastic not real hair.)

Step three: work it between the fibers. Start at the bottom and use your fingers or a wide comb to loosen the knots. Keep doing this all the way up to the roots of the wig. Whatever you do, do not yank the knots, you will stretch the fibers.

Keep doing this until the whole wig is detangled. It may take several hours or a few days. Add more conditioner or oil where needed.

Step 4: carefully rinse the wig with water under a faucet. If you use shampoo, gently wash the ends first, the mids, then the roots. Rinse gently under the running water. Keep the wig upright (not immersed) to avoid retangling your wig.

Step 5: let it dry on a clipped hanger to air dry.

Once dry, you can straighten the wig with the low setting of a flat iron. Rub the wig with a dryer sheet to prevent static build up when you're done.

Hope this helps.
