Intermission I
Uh. I did do stuff today but. Meh. Don't feel like posting it. Cuz it weren't much.

Have a pivot test instead.

Part IIII.IIII
Fabric Hell: The Fabricing.

So! Decided to finally update on what's going on with my head.
I got some more beige fabric in, as well as some black! Meaning I can finally add stuff to the mouth!
I'm debating adding mesh to the back of the mouth so that you can't see my mouth. Either mesh, buckram, or tights fabric. Something easy to breathe in.





I did my usual protocol. Cut out pieces, pin 'em down, trim em until they fit.




Even did some for the eye rims. Debating if I wish to keep 'em or not, so they haven't been glued.


(I like the lighting in this picture for some reason. makes it more sinister.)

Discord is being dumb and won't load anymore pictures for me to upload onto sta.sh, but this is the gist of it.
Glued the mouth pieces down, and stuck on the nose.
And now I'm ill so I haven't worked on it today. But!
I did do some animation stuff I'll post in another thread!

BONUS: I'm also making a badge to go with my Cosplay;


And I intend on making one for my Centaursona too!

Hopefully I can get this done on time. At the moment, I feel like I'm only going to get the head and limbs completed for comic con. Might end up buying a fancy shirt and a purple vest for the torso, and some ripped trousers. The torso is something I might not get done, or even attempt yet.

Part V
Megaupdate

So. It's been a while. Let's just briefly go through what I've done so far;




Our Devilspawn now has teeth! I was going to use clay, but instead because of costs and time management, I've used the Multi-morph stuff. I did forget to tint the edges of the teeth to look bloodstained, but regardless, it looks okay!





Also added some wires! Most of them have fallen off by now, so I'm going to redo them at some point.










The horrid process of making arms! They look a little bulky, but I suppose that's what I'm after?
Also, when spraying with the homemade acrylic spray paint, some white patches showed up afterwards? Didn't get what that was all about, so instead I just used it as a guideline to cut out the shapes for the black fabric to go. And it works!

Oh, I also added in some tights material into the mouth to cover up my actual mouth. Reasonably easy to breathe through and it works.




Some finishing touches for the ears. Thanks to papa, I managed to saw off the ends of the pipe I used so I can stick them on better. And it actually looks broken too!

So, with all the pieces I got right now;;




I have this!
Where are the ears, you ask? Well. That's my problem.

Advice Needed!

So. When I tried to put on my ears, I glued on the little bolt bit at the end onto the fabric. Be being naive thinking this would entirely work and it would be straight, it didn't work. It drooped. The tube does support the ear, but it was more of the fact that the fabric on the head made it droop.

And I have no idea how to fix this, or a way to put the ears on without having any visible wires showing that would support the ear (etc.).

So. Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you lovelies!

Here I am! Partially done!
And it will stay partially done until October rolls around.
Due to the recent events of the Manchester attack, Comic Con is putting a heavy restriction on what can be worn at con.
So I'm not finishing my cosplay. Until October anyway.
But I am still going, just partially in costume. So head, arms, hands, half fancy clothes. Not my PJs as you see in the above picture.
