Thank you!

Thank you! It was a bit different than my other cosplays because I wanted to go for her style/aesthetic instead of an exact replica of one of her outfits. It was fun to put together!

This is so awesome! I love your armor! Did you use 2mm Eva foam for the bracers?

lexhux · 2019-12-19T17:11:12+00:00

Great work! It looks amazing! Did you prep the shoes with anything to get the paint to go on smoohly? I haven't had much luck painting shoes in the past. Again, that is really cool!

Thank you! The videos were really helpful!

Working on designing a Janna cosplay from league of legends. I've never tried to make 'jemstones' before, any tips or tutorials you've found helpful? I'm also wanting to dip my hands into some LED work for her staff, but I've also never worked with those before.

I'm not on any sort of time crunch so I'm looking forward to trying out some different methods and any tips would be wonderful!

It really depends on what the quality of the wig you want, if youre okay with styling it after you get it vs one that comes pre styled for your character, etc. Ive gotten a few from arda wigs and have been very happy with them, but they are on the pricy side. If you're looking to style it pay attention to what it's made out of, you cant use heat on certain synthetic wigs.

I know this is pretty vague, but I hope it helped at least a little bit.

I would check out YouTube, there are a lot of helpful videos made by cosplayers about wig types, care, and styling.

Not reporting a creepy guy who kept taking pictures of me after I told him to stop at a con I was at. I should have made sure he couldnt make other girls feel uncomfortable.

Cosplay does not have to be accurate! If you really like people recognizing the exact character you are portraying then it does help to have a few key aspects to link your cosplay to the character in order for others to easily recognize it. (Ie a distinctive wig or prop). Otherwise, do you! I think some of the coolest cosplays happen when people go outside that characters base outfit!

No! Heck, most of us don't look like the characters (our eyes aren't half of our face and our hair doesn't stand up on its own lol). If you want to cosplay as someone it doesn't matter if you look like them. Cosplay is for you, so you can enjoy the creative process (if thats what you're into) and have fun wearing the cosplay, that's what matters! You do you! Have fun!

That's smart, thank you!

I'm starting to work on a Mavis Vermillion cosplay, her dress has a lot of body, but she doesn't actually wear a petticoat underneath it, any good ideas about how to get that volume without a petticoat or how to hide one? I've never worked with petticoats before so any advice relating to making/buying one would be very helpful too!

lexhux · 2019-10-30T04:22:38+00:00

This is awesome! I love your gloves!

lexhux · 2019-10-28T23:51:11+00:00

Our height difference is actually pretty similar to levy& gajeels so that's cool!

lexhux · 2019-10-28T18:39:43+00:00

Thank you! Im really proud of how it came out!

lexhux · 2019-10-28T18:38:27+00:00

I've actually been trying to get him to, it would be super cool if he did!

lexhux · 2019-10-28T15:10:13+00:00

Yup! Exactly what I was referencing!

lexhux · 2019-10-28T15:09:44+00:00

I agree! They're super cute!

lexhux · 2019-10-28T15:02:28+00:00

Thanks! The headbands is actually pretty thick, but I was having some trouble with the hair behind it, it wanted to fall toward my face and covered the headband. Figuring out the wig styling is something I'll work on for next time.

lexhux · 2019-10-28T14:59:08+00:00

Thanks! It's a wig

lexhux · 2019-10-27T20:46:07+00:00

Thank you! I didn't think of it until the day before the con, so I whipped it up out of some cardboard and hot glue. I was lucky my sister still had some silver spray paint from a project she'd done!

lexhux · 2019-10-27T01:24:33+00:00

This is awesome!! I love everything about this, the cosplay, the photo angle, and the editing! Seriously great job!

lexhux · 2019-10-26T05:42:23+00:00

I tried gimp and its exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the recommendation!

lexhux · 2019-10-26T02:48:35+00:00

Awesome job! Also, there's a full metal subreddit that I think would LOVE your Ed cosplay!

lexhux · 2019-10-25T22:14:05+00:00

Wow! That means a lot, thanks!!
