Finn does Cosplay

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...

The plans for the Obi Wan Kenobi cosplay was fairly simple and easy. All I had to do was find some jedi robe patterns, and use those to make the costume. The robes I used had to be edited a little in order for them to work for Obi Wan, but other than that nothing much was changed from that. I also made sure that my dad had a plain brown shirt and some khaki pants to wear underneath the robes. For his shoes, he got a pair of brown boots. For my dad's hair, we're using Mehron Hair White and Silver, so he can put it in his hair and wash it out. He already has a saber for the costume as well.

My McCree cosplay was never truly a finished cosplay so I continue to make parts of it here and there. I just finished his arm. I basically just made some cut outs that looked like different pieces of his arm from the reference images in the McCree Reference Kit from Blizzard , transferred the patterns onto some foam, glued it onto a glove and an arm thingy (because im smart) and then covered those in Plasti-Dip and painted them. It's the same thing I did for the Junkenstein hand (the arm is going to be remade soon). Here are some pics of the wips and the final product WIP Hand - Before Plasti-Dip and paint  Hand - Paint 1  Hand - Paint 2  The Arm Final
