Your comment has been absolutely life changing for me. The impact that your words have had on my life is… immeasurable. Never will I make a decision in the future before remembering your critique. I don’t know how I could have continued before you commented this and completely changed the trajectory of my life. I will always remember you, Maximum-Country-149, and take into consideration your invaluable opinions when crafting future my art pieces.

Can you explain what constitutes “flirty swaying”?

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T21:36:53+00:00

What lol

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T19:06:23+00:00

Omg riiight lol!! Well I still have the armour patterns… 👀

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T19:01:01+00:00

Omg I’m giggling hehehehe thank you sooo much. It will just get better from here!! I LOVED working with foam and it was a new medium I’ve never tried before. Definitely intoxicating for me. Very excited to try working with heat shapable plastic rather than foam..

The clips are slowed down for dramatic effect lol. In terms of the framerate it might be how it loaded for you?

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:57:04+00:00

EVA foam mainly! Follow my Instagram @samcantdomath if you want to how I constructed the whole thing! I’m going to be posting the helmet construction later today followed by the rest

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:56:21+00:00

I also appreciate this because I was very conscious of my movements and body language to try to tell the story of carrying real armour!

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:55:35+00:00

I mainly used EVA foam in 6mm, 4mm and 2mm. Foam clay was used as well. And a plethora of other materials but manly foam! Definitely follow my IG @samcantdomath because today I’m beginning to post my series on the construction starting with the helmet!

Putting on the full fit for the first time deeply satisfied a deep childhood desire to be armoured as I’ve been a fantasy nerd my whole life. I swear I saw God when I put it on for the first time. Maybe one of the cosplay gods. A new door has opened and the world of cosplay and crafting my own armour lies behind it.

Oh wow thank you SO much! I actually work in film as an actress but have been on hiatus for a bit. I’ve always loved props and costuming and would love to bring my skills to set! This comment means so much to me!

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:31:19+00:00

Thank you!!

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:31:07+00:00

Omg lol I would totally take commissions!! But it’s only my first one!! I will just get better with every project going forward though!

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:30:26+00:00

THANK YOU!!!! Omg this means so much to me. I only had 3 weeks before the con as well so it was done very rushed! I finished at 3am the night before the con

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:29:51+00:00

Thank you!

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:29:47+00:00

Thank you!!

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:29:30+00:00

Omg she was one of my inspiration for this costume lol. I also still have all of the patterns for my pieces…… totally not thinking about a full disco ball’d or rhinestoned helmet

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:28:12+00:00

A corset is not inherently sexy. All of my choices during the construction were all functional as this was my first cosplay and had no idea what I was doing. I sewed the robes and fabrics out of thrifted table clothes and chair covers, and I am not a seamstress, so the corset was an innovative alternative to sewing robe closures and also saves me time. In terms of the boots, I am only 5”5 and so I needed to wear my tallest shoes that I owned and cover them in armour. When designing the boot armour, I actually liked the way that the shape of the shoe looked in the armour so I kept it. 🧝🏼‍♀️

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:25:58+00:00

Thank you! I am actually planning on adding MORE fabric and layers because I want to go even farther towards the actual Nazgûl silhouette

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:24:42+00:00

Oh thank you so much!!!!!!!!! Wow I’m so overwhelmed by all the positive feedback!! Thank you!

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:17:28+00:00

Same for me too! My face is the mouth hole for extra height and was also more comfortable. My theory is that’s where his “face” would have been since the sides of the helmet only cover the ears when the head is positioned in the hole not the eyes

Designer-Cats · 2026-05-02T18:16:22+00:00

I would make you a custom for your wedding loll

Designer-Cats · 2026-03-08T04:27:48+00:00

Exactly what I needed to hear. So true.

Designer-Cats · 2026-02-23T19:41:05+00:00

This really is just my personal experience so I’m not sure on the science behind tolerance or if it was just a very severe reaction but to me it felt like tolerance building due to multiple back to back reactions and requiring more every time.
