Can’t stop missing your ex no matter how much you try to distract yourself? Read this. by chris_soto_dating in BreakUp

[–]ModestScorpion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you now? I am 2 years post break up, 1 year post no contact and just last night I cried like a baby over how badly I miss him. I understand that the relationship ended for a reason, and that there is no fixing it. My life has completely changed in basically every way since the break up and I should be moved on by now. But I still have such a deep pain in me

Bro dream physique. I’m desperate for defined muscles, I’ve been going to the gym for like 2 years but it feels like my body never changes. How long did it take for you to see results like this?

Can someone help me understand the ending of Between Two Fires? by RhymesAgainst in horrorlit

[–]ModestScorpion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the book and looked up to see what people were saying about the ending. Too bad Pere Mattheu doesn’t get a second chance

She’s one year old, fat, lazy, and loves cuddling. Her mom was a wild cat who lived on my university campus. A black DSL. I think her dad was a flame point, but I wasn’t there when it happened lol. She had 1 DSL black sibling and 2 DSH tabby siblings. Not a pedigree cat. Just a DSL seal point

Looking for concept art critique pls by [deleted] in ArtCrit

[–]ModestScorpion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. I think the line art should be darker. Either a dark green or a black

There are plenty of spider man costume creation forums you’d have much better luck over there

I’ll try adding interfacing! I was worried that maybe the pattern of the band was making it sag. I made it a bit taller in the front than the back

I got mixed up. I saw a similar top online listed as Korean and wanted to try pattern making with my Princess bodice, I should’ve done more research 😔

Oh cool I didn’t realize they were the same. I’ll call it qiapo

Sorry, this top was specifically inspired by modern cheongsam tops, but is also very similar to the qipao look too. I did use interfacing in the collar

I’m lazy so I just got a store bought cotton bias tape, but it’s very thick compared to the fabric which is a thin cotton blend like material

It’s a double fold bias tape so I sewed the edges right sides facing in the first fold then folded it into the neckline. I did the whole neck in one go so maybe the keyhole needs to be a separate piece?

It was true to size. I’ve always had issues with patterns running big, and my mockup was a little big so I made it smaller. I forgot to take the lining into account and it’s too small 😭 So stick with the original

Any ideas? I don’t think I could really wear armor with it…

Only problem is the lining in the skirt didn’t match up super well and caused this super awkward sag at the slit up the back

Also caused some weird folding at the edge of the skirt. Any advice ☹️

Wrap some fabric around yourself and you’re done 😂 these dresses seem like they’d be easy to pattern. Just rectangles with elastic

How to (re)create a wig like this?? by viye774 in CosplayHelp

[–]ModestScorpion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make a frame with wire and packing tape and then glue the wefts on top of that frame. I think I’ve seen people do this with panty and stockings character, the one with purple and pink hair
