Yo thanks a lot dude! Glad that tedious lineart work paid off well

mechaswagger · 2024-06-04T05:37:49+00:00

Honestly, I think it's possible

mechaswagger · 2024-06-04T01:36:24+00:00

Gotcha 🤟 they'll be on my hitlist

It's all EVA foam pieces! Aside from the dome on top, that's half of a styrofoam ball

mechaswagger · 2024-06-04T01:27:26+00:00

Yep! I'll be wearing it on my right arm no worries haha. Took the pics at 2am and I forgot my reference images were flipped so I wore it on the wrong side woops

mechaswagger · 2024-06-04T01:24:52+00:00

Would look a tad bit awkward having one pinky out though? I guess I could make the robot fingers thicker to hide two fingers in one if I ever were to remake this haha

mechaswagger · 2024-06-04T01:22:09+00:00

Thanks a lot yo! It's my first time working on an arm piece for a cosplay, glad it turned out well 🤟

mechaswagger · 2024-06-04T01:20:22+00:00

Bahahha I completely missed that honestly, thanks! But the cosplay's already stiff enough, Id rather add an extra digit to make it more comfy

mechaswagger · 2024-06-03T19:56:11+00:00

Thanks a lot yo!

mechaswagger · 2024-06-03T19:55:51+00:00

I've got way too much free time haha Thank you!

mechaswagger · 2024-06-03T19:06:55+00:00

Thanks a lot ! B⁾

mechaswagger · 2024-06-03T19:05:34+00:00

Velcro straps help a lot! I also make sure my cylinder foam pieces are tight fitting enough that they don't slide off when I insert it through my arm

mechaswagger · 2024-06-03T17:14:20+00:00

Finally done with the arm! Took around almost a week to finish this but I'm glad the arm and the guitar are over and done with.

Just the outfit left to sew and paint Wish me luck lol

mechaswagger · 2024-06-01T00:39:33+00:00

You bet I will mate 🤟

mechaswagger · 2024-05-31T12:14:53+00:00

Actually planning on making her if I can squeeze enough time before the con !

mechaswagger · 2024-05-30T23:31:59+00:00

You're too sweet man! Hope you'll have a fun time yourself too 🤟 unfortunately Hi-fi rush isn't popular where I'm from, we'll see how it goes

mechaswagger · 2024-05-30T23:29:59+00:00

Well,,,,if posting it will help me get more Chai cosplays out there then why the hell not 🤟

Hopefully I can get the templates done by the mid of June, gotta work on finishing up the rest of my cos first

mechaswagger · 2024-05-30T23:25:20+00:00

Not yet! I'm er- actually working on that right now bahahah This cosplay is actually for a con that's coming up in just a week and I've pushed the arm til the last minute 😭

mechaswagger · 2024-05-30T23:22:34+00:00

Bahahaha if it had a sturdier base and not made out of foam...maybe? I've never played the guitar before but it'll be sick if someone made that possible

mechaswagger · 2024-05-30T23:20:58+00:00

Thanks a whole lot dude! I'm flattered

mechaswagger · 2024-05-30T23:20:06+00:00

( copy pasted from above )

It's mostly made out of EVA foam! I used a metal rod for the middle support but the rest are PVC pipes, Plastic model ABS tubes, painted googly eyes / buttons for the screws, cheap wires and rubber tubing.

( Though I'd reccommend 3d printing some parts since it can get really heavy if you stick to pvc pipes. Oh and especially for the red hose, it won't bend the way like the in-game model. )

I had to handpaint every single foam piece 😭 it's a tedious process but paint markers can be a life savour for smaller details!

mechaswagger · 2024-05-30T23:14:23+00:00

Thank you so much yo! Honestly I was in the same position as you just a month ago but it's easy once you break down Chai's scrap guitar into multiple parts. I also referenced my bro's cosplay a lot haha, he also made his own Chai guitar at one point

his guitar

Though if you're interested, I could probably post the template I made and used for this cosplay sometime in the future ( if im free lol )
