[Rishiki]

I'm going to be going as tonberry from Final Fantasy but I'm not sure how to make the head.

Should it be out of paper mache? Foam? Or something else?
Any help is appreciated.

Paper Mache can be tricky but if done correctly, looks really good. It probably doesn't breathe too well though.

For those who have played Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 know who I am talking about.

The thing I need help on is what is cheap and effective to make my skin pale for this cosplay. Something I can pick up at a store and not order online.  

[FoxTailAngel]

@Little Dragon Witch : Try going to a costume store, or a party store. Look for white face or body makeup, and put just a little on (not to big of coats), to make it look pale and not to white. : 3  

[Ashta Nightrayne]

Well, the closes party store/ costume store is like... 1-2 hours away @,@.
I hate livin in the country sometimes

Hey Oh!
I am currently doing a Link cosplay from Ocarina of time. It's going pretty well, and I have a good base. (As in the Tunic is finished xd )
I also have the shield completed.
Here's some pics.

Shield


Here's the actual tunic. (And the loser wearing it sweatdrop )

I just was wodering if anyone could give me some feedback as to how to make this better. I didn't show the bottom half because I have absolutely nothing for that yet.

Thoughts?  

[Aurora Sonata]

I have no idea how to make the shoulder parts of this costume:



Help please?  

[Storm17]

@sweetheartpucca For the sheild I'd just say to try to make it look metal/shiny looking and also to have it curved a little otherwise it looks great. I'm not really sure about the tunic maybe someone else can give you better help with that.

@Aurora Sonata I'd suggest looking for a pattern that has that type of shoulder on it and just make the sleeve. If not look for cosplayers that have dressed up as her and did the shoulder right and see if they can help you..  

[sweetheartpucca]

@AuroraSonata: there are a coupe ways you can do this.

A. Make a puffy sleeve.

This is a pretty terrible excuse for instructions, buuuut it's pretty much what you have to do to make sleeves puffy. Once you ake a puffy short sleeve, you can attach a longer sleeve to that short sleeve. This method won't look exactly like the picture, but you will get a bigger sleeve at the top.

B. find a long sleeve pattern, and draw on a bigger, more circle-like shoulder at the top. practice making it on scrap fabric first until you get the look you want. These things are all about trial and error. ^-^

C. Listen to what Storm17 said. Talk to people who have done similar cosplays and see what they did.

You have to do lots of research when making any costume, so just keep asking questions and looking for pictures. ^_^

@Storm17: Thanks much for the advice, and compliment! I appreciate all the help I can get! ^_^  

[Aurora Sonata]

Thanks for the response, both of you. ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/  

[iPhyllo]

I'm planning on making a Haseo Xth form cosplay and I'm not to sure how to make it.

I think I got the shirt down, but the parts on his upper arms, the gloves, knee parts, and the shoes.

Yea, I got a lot to work on ._.  

[Qianna]

@ Kota: Looks really awesome. And a lot of work. For all the difficult parts you can try using something like foam or cardboard, but I'm not sure...  

[Myopsida]

Having trouble with Ellis from Left 4 Dead 2.
I'm not sure where to find coveralls/mechanic's jumpsuit.
I've checked Bob's but everything there is thermal lined and insulated.
Kind of creepy to get one off of ebay in my opinion.
Not sure if I should just wait for it to get warmer and get it instead.

 

[AirTVfan]

Need some help cosplaying as Alicia from Valkyria Chronicles. This is a picture. It's from the anime adaptation. I'm going to combine the colors from the anime version with the details of the game version (since I actually am playing the game right now, but the colors are hard to find). Anyway, I'm not too sure how to go about doing her dress. I'm not exactly sure what style it is and I'm not exactly sure how to make it more flowy and stuff at the bottom. Any patterns or tutorials or basically ANYTHING would help me right now. gonk

Also, just wondering. What is the difference between cotton and cotton blend? I got cotton, but I was curious as to what cotton blend was. gonk

Thanks! biggrin
