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...

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)

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

I have never used 3D printing for anything, and neither did my father. My dad now helps me with my props for my costumes, so he ended up helping me with the sword and sheath. I ordered the pieces online, he put it together, and then I paint it. However, we didn't know what we were doing with the pieces so it ended up in a fun little story to tell due to us not knowing what to properly do the first time. When the sword had initially arrived (i bought the sword all at once, where I bought the sheath in two separate orders which contained half of the sheath), the tabs that were supposed to be used for durability??? did not fit. I figured it had to do with printing such a small little piece, and I figured that the sword should be fine as long as I don't swing it around, which I didn't plan on doing anyway.  We first glued it together using Gorilla Glue. We glued multiple different pieces together, and then those pieces together, etc. until we got the full sword. Putting ...

Instead of fully making my props, I bought most of them. I figured it would be the easiest for me as 1) props for Dr. Junkenstein failed terribly and 2) I'm not even going to bother with trying to make swords. The only prop that I made was the shield with the help of my aunt and uncle. Sword and Sheath      The Master Sword and it's sleeve thing I bought 3D Printed here ! This helped a lot with cutting out having to make it, but I did have to put the pieces together. Surprisingly the sword costed less than the sheath, but owell. There's a whole story to go along with what happened with putting hte sword together (which ended up being a continuation story of the sword at work), but long story short we ended up just using superglue and paint. We also sealed with Mod Podge.  Ocarina      I literally just bought this off of amazon. That's it. Here's the link . It's playable, but either it's not fully meant to be played or I just can't play an i...

I actually did a make up test for once in my life, but it was mostly an excuse to mess around with the ears and to start working on the wig for it. I don't really have much done for the actual costume in terms of the hat I had to improvise for now. But yeah. For the actual make up I really just put on some foundation and used a little bit of darker eye shadow on the nose and on the edge of the brow. I'm not a make up guru or anything, but that's what I do really when I do make up make up. I did the eye shadow thing around the nose mostly because I wanted to eliminate the look of the 'ball point' end of my nose, and to help it look a little straighter than it is With the wig, I had an old blonde wig that I got a couple years ago and I dont remember what it was for but I still had it. It was longer than desired so I decided to cut it a little, and it'll need some fixing in the back (that's not really shown in the pics), but other than that I'm pretty...

Alright! So, I'm taking a small break from working on other cosplays to quickly push out this one! I'm currently starting to work on Link (Ocarina of Time version), and going to go ahead and get this one done while I can and before I go off to college. So anyway, here are some small sketches I did at 3 in the morning with notes before I actually start posting things when I start on the costume itself within the next week. Sketches: Notes: Page 1 *We are mostly focused on the outfit for this page a) hat is made of same fabric as the tunic, tightens in the back b) elf ears w/fake piercings. (Will use spirit gum for attachment and some flesh latex to hide any gaps) c) tunic and undershirt are going to be made d) reg belt for the waist, make "belt" for the sword (I ended up calling it a shoulder strap. not really good with terms for this) e) make gauntlets f) white leggings (bought) g) boots Page 2 a) sword and sleeve printed (Ordering them 3D pri...
