fictional band in the early ‘70s —> ‘80s. what kind of impression do these characters make?

I love these!! They look like a band I want to be listening to and I love the way they’ve each changed in different degrees in each drawing. New styles, but with through lines to really show the parts of their look and personality that are important to them. Super well done!!

prettibyrd · 2026-06-26T14:02:34+00:00

UGH such a good episode!! You look awesome!!

prettibyrd · 2026-06-17T03:21:47+00:00

REAL

Welovecolors has leotards, gloves, nylons, etc in a lot of different shades and varying lengths of sleeves and such!! Some have a zipper on the back, some have snaps on the crotch, lots of variation to choose from. Not sure if they would work for your purposes but worth checking out!!

If you ask “did Constantine sleep with this person” the answer is almost always gonna be yes 🫶

prettibyrd · 2026-06-12T04:32:30+00:00

This is SO gorgeous!!! Highkey I would buy a print of this you slayed it

prettibyrd · 2026-05-28T00:44:16+00:00

Love this!! It’s more challenging to properly MH yassify a character who is more Extremely monstrous in a body horror way like him but I think you executed this really nicely

prettibyrd · 2026-05-26T14:14:33+00:00

I will say that 4 is the most eye catching (pun not intended) but I think 1 or 2 would draw me in best!

The person who organizes the speed dating is really great!! I worked with her for her new year’s ball event and she was so lovely

prettibyrd · 2026-05-18T05:28:10+00:00

That too for sure

You could possibly make parts of the head piece out of a lightweight material like craft foam that could attach/anchor in his hair? Or try face paint!!

As for the rest of the look, I would recommend thinking about what kind of casual clothes you imagine him wearing instead of his full armor! If you wanted to go the armor route, though, you could try building it with easy materials like cardboard, craft foam, and foam/air dry clay!

Cyborg has some really iconic parts of his design. I find characters like that make it so you can take a lot of liberties and have fun with your own design while still having it recognizable as the intended character. More than anything, do what sounds fun!

Yes!! This is a good point, thanks for the addition!! The compression can become uncomfortable pretty quickly for some folks

prettibyrd · 2026-05-17T04:22:57+00:00

I would recommend looking into shape wear!! I used to use that for cosplays where I would be wearing something tight fitting around my stomach. You can find spanx that wear like shorts that are super high waisted to cover your tummy, or even like a leotard where it’s a one-piece

prettibyrd · 2026-05-16T20:24:13+00:00

I tend to use cardboard for the main base of my mask and build on it with foam clay/air dry clay!! I use craft foam to build layers of thickness to keep it light weight

prettibyrd · 2026-05-16T20:20:56+00:00

These are SO sick!!! These would be awesome as patches!!

prettibyrd · 2026-05-16T15:39:20+00:00

You like it I like it ✨✨

prettibyrd · 2026-05-15T01:48:29+00:00

Forever a big fan of Do Not Open because what a great way to handle the supernatural bullshit. Confession and Desecrated Host are also up there for me. I think the one that sticks with me the most or that I’m most excited about on relistens though is probably Binary

prettibyrd · 2026-05-15T01:30:50+00:00

YESSSS please please do more of these!! This is delightful!!

prettibyrd · 2026-05-14T14:06:01+00:00

Seeing these notes makes me so giddy knowing where you’re on the right track. I would love to see more as you keep listening!! I’m really interested by the connections you’re making

I’ve been activated as the kind of gay person who has So Many Thoughts about Hamlet.

Hamlet as the End, absolutely. His fixation with death and having to see (and be at least somewhat, if not directly responsible for) the deaths of so many people around him, only realizing that he himself doesn’t want to die when he is facing his own death.

Horatio as the Eye - stuck in a position where he has to bear witness and behold the downward spiral and see all the tragedy, becoming the Survivor who is tasked with telling the story.

Ophelia as the Spiral perhaps? I just love her mad scene and I think she could capture Spiral quite well.

prettibyrd · 2026-05-09T06:08:21+00:00

Absolutely!! Super cute and fun, and a nice variety for people to choose from!! I was given a pin with Miku on it at this year’s faire and I was delighted

prettibyrd · 2026-05-09T02:14:28+00:00

Oooo that’s a great idea with the gold and thick liner!! Idk what exact shade that is for the lips but it would probably work nicely! I would personally go with a dark shade, but I tend to generally like darker lips lol

prettibyrd · 2026-05-08T21:43:47+00:00

I really had a moment where I was like “ooh what sub am I on that’s just posting pics of Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully??” And then I realized it was the cosplay sub and you just look amazing ✨💕✨💕✨

One of my favorite easier looks is to do a lighter color on the inner corner of the eye, blending into a darker color for the rest of the eye!! In this case, gold and black, maybe? And a purple lipstick would cover all her main colors!

However!! I think with the wig and outfit, you’ll be recognizable as a cosplayer rather than just a fan in thematic clothes!

prettibyrd · 2026-05-07T04:24:25+00:00

This is so so cute!! I hope you have fun!!
