Twinrova WIP (3/final) + Genki cosplays!

This entry is cosplay related and will be in English!

This is the final WIP-entry I will make on Twinrova. I'm almost done and by the end of the week when I will visit my sister to rehearse the act, she should be done! A week in advance, and it will feel great!

I've been working my ass off but at the same time I had fun. I think it pays off that I only make 1 or 2 cosplays a year (and my wallet is happy as well).

Twinrova has ended up becoming one of my most expensive cosplays with a minimum value of 1.600 DKR (appr. 285 USD). But as long as I only make such few a year, I will happily pay the price for the right materials.

My small work station!

Sleeve before gold paint :)

Turns out that the black fabrics I selected has a plastic-like surface so vlisoflex glue won't attach to it (not even hot glue or textile glue, wth?) So I had to sew (in zig-zag) the silver fabrics to the sleves (and there are four sides with it) and because the silver fabrics are satin, I had to glue all of that to vliseline at first, so it turned out to be a more-than-whole-day-project to get the sleeves done :P

I managed to get the brooms done yesterday! I just bought a big broomstick with fine wood details, but they were too light so I had my dad help me with some wood-paint. They just turned out perfect!

Demo on the hair. Not much to say other than I still need to sew them to the wig.

(And my boyfriend's head shall be my model this Wednesday, muhahahaha!)

The crown and diamond are done as well. I bought a sheet of plastic and some blue and red half-transparent paper. When you see the crown against the light, you can kinda see through it, and I varied the layers of paper in it so it seems like it has darker and lighter parts. But in normal light it just seems....flat... If there was anything with this cosplay that I would ever re-do, it would be the diamond.

Genki-con is approaching and here are my cosplay plans:

Friday:

Saturday:

Sunday:

I'm looking very much forward to see all my beloved friends in just 10 days!

Lidt af hvert :)

Starter lige med lidt cosplay.. Bare to billeder, ikke andet :P

Har fået sommershoppet i ferien (på trods af alt arbejdet!) Fik endelig (endelig!!!) købt mit et nyt par lange bukser (har kun købt shorts på de seneste), men der var da lige genåbning af Hillerøds Vero Moda, så der var 25% på alt i butikken (og stadig gik jeg kun derfra med tre fire ting)! Jeg prøvede nogle forskellige trøjer til mine nye bukser, for jeg havde egentlig ikke tænkt over hvad jeg skulle have på til. De er bare så fluffy, love em!
(De er fra deres nyeste kollektion; Noisy May, som btw er awe-sum!)

Nu skal jeg så skære ned på nyt tøj det kommende halve år, for jeg har netop startet en tredje og helt speciel opsparing, som jeg forhåbentlig kan få smidt 6.000 kr. ind på over de næste 6-8 måneder. Jeg skal spare sammen til:

Klik her hvis du vil til den officielle side og se mere!

Jeg er helt skør med den, og har da tænkt på at fremskaffe mig en i mange år, men nu skal det sgu være og jeg begynder opsparingen!

Så udover det, har jeg lidt inspiration at dele:

Twinrova WIP (2)

This entry is cosplay related and therefore in English!

Spent sooo many hours on my cosplay today and I just stopped for today, and with the progress I have made, I thought it was time for some WIP-pictures :3

The pants are done! They are a p-e-r-f-e-c-t fit, but so hard to get on, so I think I'll have to make a zipper on the back or something.

When it's on!

The tulle inside the pants makes it comfortable to look at even when it's lying flat on the floor :3

Also the wig arrived yesterday! I haven't done anything to it yet, really. I need a person to wear it for me.... Hmm... I might just measure my boyfriend's head and see if he'll do :P ha-ha!

So, beside minor changes/optimizations there's is very little left before I can start on the "hair"/"crown"/"fancyness" on her head :3 that is the part I have been looking forward to the most! :D

I hope you're all enjoying the summer!
