cowbuttcrunchies:

It’s giveaway time again! :)  I am being very uncreative this time around, and so for our third giveaway the winner will have their choice of various Homestuck accessories we’ve made in the past:

• Derse or Prospit themed choker
• A custom choker of your choice
• Meenah glasses
• Red/blue rule63 Sollux tights
• Embroidered troll-symbol or letterman sew-on patch

The rules are:

• Likes and reblogs both count, but please be considerate of your followers when reblogging more than once.
• You do have to be following us to win!  If you’re not following us already, this blog is pretty much 100% weird Homestuck cosplay so check us out maybe if you’re not?
• You must have your ask box open at the contest’s end!  We will randomly a select a winner, but if you don’t respond within 48 hours, we will choose the next person on the list.

The giveaway will end in about a month, aka on June 1st, 2013.  Good luck!!

Hey, guys - don’t forget this ends in about a week!!

Sometimes I am a creepy creep.

It’s from animestuffstore.com in scarlet red!

Kyoko progresssss!  Pretty much done except for fixing the keyhole, spear, and boot flaps.

Cowbuttcrunchies is helping me with my corset. They can both fit their bodies in my fucking chest area.

Yep.

it’s cosplay party time up in here

Go slow, anon.  Hand sew it if you need to.  Use frayblock if you’ve cut the lace anywhere.

this is the tutorial I used for the petticoat — pretty much everything else was drafted on the form.

That’s right - worbla is a specialty material so it’s very unlikely that you’ll find it in a brick and mortar store.  The places I know of that sell it are cosplaysupplies.com and yayahan.com - however there’s some other sites you can order from if you live in Europe.  Similarly, wonderflex can also be bought from cosplaysupplies.com.  However, if you’re looking for thermoplastic or sheet plastic, that can be bought in person at industrial supply places if you look hard enough.  They’re all useful for different things!

Basically by working full time!  TBH that’s the long and the short of it.  There’s a lot less hours in the week to sew now that I’m out of school, but on the flip side I can buy the kind of fabric and materials I couldn’t afford back then.

There’s a money management lesson somewhere in here too, but even though cosplay is an expensive hobby, it’s not the most expensive.  Some people spend their money on shoes and concert tickets and electronics.  I spend mine on giant dresses and worbla.

Definitely! :)

5. Your favorite costume to wear.  Hhhhammy: Karkat!  Gothichamlet: Kankri in all iterations because reasons.  We both clearly have Candyblood problems.

Least favorite is an uncomfortable Elizabethan gown that I can’t seem to find any pictures of boo.

8. Favorite prop: 2x3 pointy jams trident!

15. Pick one of your friends and tell us your favorite cosplay of theirs and why. VIOLET WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS.  Okay.  I’m making a list:

Thevvioletprince: Eridan because I can’t deal with the amazing Eridan faces you make.
Vantasss: Genderbend Terezi because it’s the cutest thing in the universe.
Ceriene: Spinnerette Mindfang because it’s ridiculously well-constructed.
Vantasticmess: The Signless because I have an Ancestor feelings problem.
Knightarcadia: The Psiioniic because see above.
Vintage-Aerith: The Dolorosa because also see above.
Snowchildhero: Potterstuck!Aranea because Potterstuck is the greatest.
Saccharinesylph: Beforus!Feferi because I really like well-done AU designs!
Gomugomugodhead: Karkat because that cosplay is flawless and I had an awesome time at our Katsu shoot.
Labyrinth1n3: Human Applejack obviously!
Jaimons-le-bon-vin: Purple dress Roxy because I can’t believe that’s her first cosplay.

Progresssssss

Structural Redundancy

21” tall currently, once they’re covered in foam will probably hit two feet. detachable from the headband for storage and so they go through, not over, the wig.  

I think I have prop ADD

Apparently I can no longer be patient enough to finish one project before starting another.  So instead I’ll do three simultaneously.  Clearly this is the perfect idea.  Started on the basic frame for Sayaka’s sword from Madoka for vantasss who is doing a group with cowbuttcrunchies at AB.  (I am not a pretty pretty princess and have these lumberjack legs, so I am basically not allowed for the sake of humanity.)

Also started work on the club for Grand Highblood, and meant to keep painting Homes Smell Ya Later…but then I got distracted by beer, so that happened…

AW YEAH gonna be lookin hella sweeeeeeeet
