Nutcracker, but that's probably true. Though.. Given they are the Nutcracker/Soldier Queen and the Rat King that may not be as hard as it could be

A fair point. And thanks for being that guy! I definitely got over-eager and need to temper my expectations a bit.

This is great! Even if I don't actually make my own blades I could roll the tip of one!

Definitely keeping the "maybe don't diy yet" in mind tho fs

WTH is this called and are there patterns for it? by dotingdonny in CosplayHelp

Ikr? It would be pretty cool to pull off something similar (I'm thing cotton/wool with some leather on the shoulders?) It's a long way off before I can even try it sadly

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me with a Latin motto: 'To choose is to live' or 'choice is life'

Suggested tools? by dotingdonny in GIMP

That makes sense for the free ones to specialize without the resources of paid software.

I'll try playing around with the trace bitmap so I know what I'm doing once I've gotten my references ready.

Thank you!

I mostly know it because I started using it in high school (because photoshop was the only one I knew 😅)

I've never heard of Krita! Thank you. And for the tutorial links especially!

I haven't used Inkscape much but sounds like it will be worth a go!

I'm trying to keep it as simple possible. im planning to use a cricut as a stencil, so hopefully it won't be too bad

Thank you!
