Finn does Cosplay

To start off with the costume, I decided to do all of the clothing worn underneath and work up from there. This means making the pants, skirt cape, and jacket. Skirt Cape The skirt cape was an easy part of the costume. I took a little over a yard of red fabric and folded it in half to create a triangle bandana like effect. From the looks of the armor set in game, it looks like it is more or less wrapped amongst itself over the pants and jacket than it is a fixed skirt, so I wanted to go with that. It's actually fairly easy to wrap if you have the right length, and it stays in place fairly well.      For the pattern, I placed masking tape on the cloth to the pattern of it from my ref images. I traced around the tape, removed the tape, and then hand embroidered the pattern in with yellow embroidery thread. It took me about 6 things of thread to embroider into the cloth, and finishing sewing the red cloth. I did not add embroidery on the back of the fabric, so it is not...

Hey guys! Just wanted to update you guys on my plans for Momocon!!! Thursday: Picking Up Tickets Friday: McCree - Overwatch Saturday: Snow Quill Armor Link - Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sunday: Barry Bluejeans - The Adventure Zone In terms of what I'll be doing these days:  Thursday: I'll just be picking up tickets, then leaving the con.  Friday: I'll be mostly hanging out, and might go to the photoshoot at noon if I have the time. I'll update you more on that later.  Saturday: I'll be trying to do the costume contest for Snow Quill Link. I'll probably have to spend some time for the judging, and then of course I wont be available during the contest itself. I also have a personal shoot that I'll be doing at 2.  Sunday: I'll be joining a friend in doing the Adventure Zone, where she is doing Lup and I'll be doing Barry Bluejeans. I don't really know much about the Adventure Zone, much less Barry, but I'm just her...

I did my first wig styling with this cosplay, and bought my first wig from Arda Wigs as well with it! I chose the Inigo Classic Wig in Ginger Blonde as suggested in their Wig Suggestions page, and styled it.  Here's the results!! And because I'm starting off with Snow Quill armor for my Breath of the Wild Link cosplays, I went head and made the headdress materials as well and did a test with all of the stuff. So far, it's working almost as I want it to, except for the ribbons which I'll have to do other tests and possibly other material for it as well. But for the first test, I'm pretty happy with the results! Here they are! If you want to get these updates as they are happening, follow me on my Instagram (perido7)

Okay, so this will be the last time I change up my cosplans other than individual plans for cons! In speaking of which, the next con I'll be going to is Momocon! First of all, I just want to say that Champion Link will be held off as a side project for another time. I'm replacing him with Snow Quill Link instead, which will I'm planning on putting into the contest! Here are the cons that I'm planning on going to this year, and each costume I'm planning for it.  Momocon 2018 Friday: McCree Saturday: Snow Quill Link (contest) Sunday: James, or other side cosplay Saikoucon 2018 Friday: James, or other side cosplay Saturday: Pyramid Head Sunday: Ocarina Link (fixed) Dragoncon 2018 Friday: McCree Saturday: Dr. Junkenstein (contest) Sunday: Ocarina Link Ichiban 2019 Thursday: Unknown Friday: Dr. Junkenstein Saturday: Specter Knight (contest), Dr. Junkenstein (possible skit) Sunday: Snow Quill Link Other possible cons if I have money an...

So I've been replanning some of my cosplays and I posted the information on my Instagram (@perido7) and I need to share it on here. I'm adding and dropping some cosplays as well as rescheduling a few. To start off with, I am no longer going to be doing Champion Link this year. I'm holding that off for a while, and instead I'll be focusing on getting what I didn't get done for Ocarina Link done. I'm also going to go ahead and get a head start on Snow Quill Link and cosplay him for Momocon. Dr. Junkenstein will be made over the summer and will be at Dragoncon. Once again I'm straying away from plans on that one, so I'll update more when I actually start working on it. And finally my last big cosplay for the year will be Specter Knight, and he will be worn at Ichiban later this year. I also have some side cosplays that I plan on working on as well. James from The End of the Fucking World and the Babadook are a couple that I have planned for this yea...

Alright, so I'm about to start on the Champion Tunic for link from Breath of the Wild. What I'll currently be working on is the actual costume, and I'll be leaving the props to work on in a couple of months. But yeah, here are my notes for the costume part I guess. Page 1: Undershirt soft, stretchy fabric (blue) red and green embroidery  Pattern in color Main Tunic blue fabric, light white embroidery fabric glue print out outline of to sword design and outline in glue Pattern on back top middle bottom middle Page 2: regular boots with added material small bag in back, big enough for wallet and phone pale green fabric same embroidery from understhirt rough sewn edges pattern color right arm armor??? foam and paint case for phone

Okay, so I've done some thinking about what I'm going to do for 2018 in terms of cosplay, and I'm going to mostly focus on three costumes this year. Once those are done, I'll try and get another one or two done. I'm not sure if I'm going to Triadcon or not, but if I do I will definatley have the finished Ocarina of Time Link cosplay done and bring it with me to the con.  I'm planning on going to Momocon this year, and I will be having the Champion Link done from Breath of the Wild. It will be the basic Champion outfit, however I do want to try and make some props. The props I want to make for that are the Guardian Sword, Guardian Shield, Great Eagle Bow, and one of each type of arrow. I'll also be making a case for the Shiekah Slate, and either having it for my phone or my switch. But I'll get around to that when I cross that bridge.  For Dragoncon, I'm dropping the idea of working on Dr. Junkenstein as my main costume and going to be...

This year at Ichiban, I went from Thursday to Saturday. Thursday I was a member of the Black Parade, and had a lot of fun and got to meet up with some con friends I haven't seen in forever. Friday I was Link, and while I didn't have my props ready and the costume wasn't 100% done like how I wanted it, I was still happy with it. My only problem Friday was that I was half asleep and ended up taking a nap in the middle of the con. It was still a lot of fun though. Saturday, I was Rey, and my dad came as Obi Wan Kenobi. We did a photoshoot with Illoria Photography, as well as enter the costume contest as Team Space Dawgs! We entered under the Novice category since it was our first cosplay contest, and a large chunk of my dad's costume was bought (like the shirt, pants, and shoes). I had made both of our outfits, Rey's being 90% while my dad's was about 50%. Both of our lightsabers were bought off of Etsy, we don't know which store my dad had gotten his f...

Alright, so a final materials list for the Ocarina of Time Link cosplay! The links provided are the ones that I used green fabric (makes shirt and hat) white fabric (makes undershirt) brown fabric (makes gloves and belts) can have brown leather if you want to (i used some fake leather for the boots and strap replacement on the shield) tights  (or pants if you prefer) boots master sword hylian shield (i dont have the link for where i got mine) fake ears  (and earrings but that's up to you) wig (optional if you want it) ocarina prop (optional, but yknow its ocarina of time why not)

Even though this years con crunch isn't that bad like how I usually have them, I still have to finish my dad's costume and work out some problems with my Link cosplay until they can be fully completed. The Obi Wan cosplay should be done by tomorrow (woo woo), and with Link I have to make a couple of prop things that sadly have to be done by hand (my machine doesn't like the material im using and I don't have the money to change that). Everything is going smoothly though. Anyway, here's what I'm going to be doing at Ichi! Thursday - Black Parade  I'm bringing an 'old' one back so yay! Friday - Link  Not really doing anything on Friday Saturday - Rey Ok so this be my busy day. I'll be doing the costume contest at Ichiban this year with my dad, and we're also going to be doing a photoshoot! It's all part of his Christmas present from me this year since he wanted to be Obi Wan and I wanted to let him have the full 9 yards of...
