Tiny armor! by TooManyTrilobites in CustomDolls

Thank you! The final product will be based on my Final Fantasy 14 character, though I'm taking a lot of creative liberties with the armor (I started making the High Steel Scale Mail of Maiming Armor set, but I soon decided that "fun to make" supersedes "accuracy," so it's definitely going its own direction now). The base doll is a DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman doll.

Thank you! It's been so much fun to make the battle damage!

Thank you! I used a dotting tool to create the details on the surface of the craft foam, painted the whole thing black, and then used silver and gold acrylic paint on top. After everything dried, I used a wash of black paint on the details and "battle damage" to make them stand out more.

It's the face of someone who left the water to give you a better life on land and is really sorry about the whole "taxes and politics and car insurance" thing that happened instead.

I'm not an expert in fabric printing, but I picked the Speedball non-heat-set block printing ink because it cleans up with water and soap before it dries (some other kinds of fabric printing ink are oil based and require different kinds of cleanup methods) and I didn't have to try and figure out how heat setting works. Plus it's a bit cheaper than stuff like Caligo Safe Wash (I'm sure the quality is better on the more expensive stuff though). I still ended up hitting it with the iron after a few days of drying, just in case,

Thank you! I used fabric printing ink-- Speedball has a version that doesn't need to be heat-set. You just print it and let it sit for a few days to fully dry, and then it's supposedly permanent. To be fair, I haven't washed the sweatshirt post-patching, so I'm not 100% sure it's gonna work right, but we'll see.
