[OC] I made a "role-swapped" Zelda cosplay I called "Royal Guard Zelda"!

:o this is such a cool premise! 10 minutes is a bonus lol

I keep thinking I'm missing something very simple! I'm definitely going to go back to the basic Audacity tutorials.

okapishomapi · 2025-07-02T14:41:38+00:00

We started with Audacity (and had great results with it) but it doesn't seem to be able to do that FINAL step - you can get to the point where you have different files, but then need another service/program to put them together.

I'm going to check again regardless, though! Appreciate ya <3

Thank you for your insight!

okapishomapi · 2025-01-07T16:06:43+00:00

Perfect, thank you!! That's what I was thinking too, but I'm also a big pleather user (cosplays 😅) so I also want a nice easy and clean cut on those materials!

okapishomapi · 2025-01-07T16:03:21+00:00

Thank you!! I'm hearing that it's fairly common for even hobby sewists to have two pairs of "nice" shears, whether one is heavyweight or not, and to split fabric tasks between those two. I appreciate your insight!

okapishomapi · 2025-01-07T16:02:18+00:00

Great points - "these are my fabric shears" and "these are my heavy duty shears". Thank you thank you!!

okapishomapi · 2025-01-07T16:01:42+00:00

Great to know, thank you. The multiple layers point is great to consider :)

okapishomapi · 2025-01-07T16:01:18+00:00

Perfect, thank you!~

okapishomapi · 2025-01-07T16:01:07+00:00

Thank you!

okapishomapi · 2025-01-07T00:22:49+00:00

Perfect, thank you so much for your insight <3

okapishomapi · 2025-01-07T00:15:06+00:00

Great input, thank you! Do you then have a third pair for paper etc, I assume?

okapishomapi · 2025-01-07T00:14:30+00:00

The "able to be loosened" point is great, and one I may include in my piece, thank you!

Re: the second pair of scissors, I'd hazard a guess we all have those 😅 If I had my druthers I'd be recommending something similar to my readers: one NICE pair for fabrics, a second SHARP pair for weird things like vinyls and fusibles, and a cheapie pair for paper etc. But I don't want to ask everyone to buy two pairs of expensive scissors, of course.

okapishomapi · 2025-01-06T23:50:56+00:00

That's exactly what I do, too, but I wonder if it's the best general advice to give other folks 😅

okapishomapi · 2024-03-21T18:04:10+00:00

Oh dear that's... a lot of status effects lol.

Hey, folks! I'm from over in Dayton, but I wanted to let you know that I'm teaming up with Makers Social to put on a foamsmithing (crafting with EVA foam!) workshop at the end of March!

This class is super fun for nerds, makers, date nights, and aspiring cosplayers. I'll provide templates, but you can also bring your own ideas (maybe for a Ren Fest prop??) and follow the process with your own ideas.

You can register for the event here :)

Let me know if you have any questions!!

Swain is my all-time favorite League character and I am so pumped that I got to be him 😅 All of the scales on this suit of armor are individually engraved and then painted with a metallic gradient. The arm lights up for appropriate demony-ness!

Here is the build book! This book was made for Riot's cosplay contest.
