Sorry for this incredibly long post, I hope you guys liked it and I hope to also see you at my next blog!

Because of all the waiting for drying I was going through, I decided to draw a face on the wighead (also because the wighead was already showing a lot of damages because of the heating shaping I did on it), so eh try to not pay too much attention to it. Even though I didn't like the fit around my fingers, I was quite content with how I made the outer shape (I used a likewise method as how I made the boots covers).On the other hand a few things on stage went bad, so I think I'm not that sad about it, as I would prefer not to see it back as I don't feel very comfortable about it. The necklace is worn at the part where it bodysuit changes to my real body and it (hopefully) helps to make everything look more natural.

I had quite a hard time finding the right shade of dark blue, but I'm pretty content with how this color turned out! That way the weight of the cape was on the top, my chest and my back instead of resting on the shoulderplates.

This was the base for version 2, I was a lot more pleased with this one and started shaping it more to become like Chi-Chi's helmet! When the costume was close to finishing I uploaded this teaser to show what I had so far and also to show how the design from the cape and top works View spoiler Hide spoiler the fabric at the top of my shoulders is not visible when wearing the wig and this was also before ironing everything, so pardon the small mess :P. I checked all the photographers from last years' competition and a few new ones, but almost everyone seemed to have skipped going to the solo competitions and I only found pictures from the duo and group competitions. Considering the size of these boots, I decided to grab my favorite pair of sneakers and make a pattern around it for her boots. Unfortunately nobody I knew was photographing and I haven't found any pictures of this meetup afterwards.

Seriously, industry-professionals having a Youtube channel that they use to show how they make their amazing stuff are the best!To be honest, I couldn't really point out in the design what these were, so I ended up just making small covers to have the effect.

For some reason I had the bright idea that I could use small pieces of foam to cover the gaps I had inbetween the detailing and the helmet itself. I always think it's funny how parts look burned so quickly, but nothing of that will be visible after undercoating and painting! I like with Lilith how she comes over as very sexy, but is still quite clothed (she only has bare shoulders). How long the drying process takes depends on the weather, but on a general (quite cold) day in the Netherlands this can take a full day. She looked incredibly cute, was very though, but became all girly and fiddly when her crush was around!I started with making this costume for fun, but I was lured into signing up for a cosplay competition with it, so I also had a though deadline where I couldn't remake every part that I wanted from it! Back to my story: I started off with making a pattern from a foam head that is almost the same size as my own head. View spoiler Hide spoiler Sorry for the blurry picture of the shoulderplates, but with work-in-progress if my pictures turn out bad, I can never re-make them because I'm already at the next step!
