FFT - Shoes

Shoes is cosplay is honestly something that I personally don't find to be the biggest needed thing unless if the shoes are a well known part of the costume. Most of the time in my costumes I'm just wearing one of my everyday pairs of shoes, and will probably do that for most costumes to come. I have bought shoes specifically for a couple of costumes though. I bought a pair of pink heeled boots for my Mettaton Ex cosplay, mostly since that's one of the most well known features about him. I bought a pair of grey boots that looked similar to Rey's boots to her costume in the Force Awakens mostly because I wanted to. And for my McCree costume I bought a very cheap pair of cowboy boots. Outside of that, I haven't bought any other shoes for costumes as I haven't necessarily seen them to be needed. What do you guys think about shoes when it comes to cosplays?

FFT - Buy or Make

Buying or making cosplays or at least parts of them is something that everyone decides on. I personally like to make my own costumes and then buy the wigs (as I haven't had a need for props yet). This really differs for everyone who does cosplay and so I'm just gonna put in some personal preferences and things that I have learned so far.

Food For Thought

So, I think I'm going to start a weekly post update for some things when it comes to the cosplay community. These will be my personal opinions and stuff when it comes to cosplay. I'm doing this mostly to make sure that I'm updating this blog at least once a week. By all means, all of the things that I end up posting for these Food For Thought Posts are just opinions, are are not strict guidelines or something that everyone should follow. Just how I like to do things and personal thoughts on things. Any posts about Food For Thoughts will be titled "FFT" and the topic of the Food for Thought. Food For Thought's can also be used to answer any questions if anyone has them. You can ask them in comments on this blog, or send me an ask via tumblr or an email (justice.alford@outlook.com) if you have any questions on anything that I'm doing or any thoughts on something that interests you. I'm only a beginner cosplayer, and even then most of my costumes hav...

Amaterasu Cosplay Notes: Pre-production

Devine Instrument Notes: Devine Retribution use either wood or styroafoam circles for the fire, orange felt and a red fabric the red fabric should be light material. something similar to silk maybe?? in order to keep the red fabric in place and stiff-ish, use hot glue on the inside and perhaps some wire the Devine Retribution should have some sort of backpack strap attacked that can hide under the Obi... maybe part of the Obiage??? Devine Retribution will probably cover the knot in the back of the Obi.  Devout Beads Devout Beads will be more on a larger scale.  Devout Beads will be on a string with knots on the ends of each bead to keep them in place.  Devout Beads will probably be made out of clay and hand painted While only 6 is needed for the Devout Bead necklace, it would be good to make  extra beads just in case Tsumugari Tsumugari will probably end up having a wooden base and use craftfoam or paint on the outside Tsumugari will be last ite...
