Seras cosplay, first version done! - Critique appreciated! <3

[Nori]

But really, no matter how we do it, that Shadow Arm of hers is going to be the big highlight. It's looking really awesome already, and when she gets the rest of it installed and covered? Duuuuuude.

It's gonna fall aparrrrttttttttttttt I gotta walk sideways through doors Like my suit. At least hotel doors are big. But EEEEEE I can't wait to do the armor for Vladie

[Shoon]

Yeah, stuff on arms is hard. 2 Months ago I helped make a robot arm for a friend for a cyber punk cosplay, I would have also made myself one but we didnt have time.

[Nori]

figured I'd post a quick update!
I got all the LED's on the arm and I think I figured out how to keep it in place, and am working on covering it with the sheer fabric. I also asked my hair lady if she could help cut the wig, and she did an amazing job! I'll still use gel and spray to make it spikey and whatnot, but EEEEE



I won't post pictures of the arm until I have it pretty much all covered, because it looks really sad right now.
I'll be moving my stuff into my new place on the 4th, and I'll be moving myself around the 18th. I'll try and spend some time working on it, but I'm still working on Vampyrum's suit
There's also randomly going to be a possible Hellsing photoshoot at Denver Comic Con. Which I never thought usually happened, considering it's animé and the popularity died down.

Heyyyyyy I haven't posted in monthssssss


But I have gotten some progress done! I've been busy with Calun's suit and moving/job hunting, but I figured I'd do an update


I finalized the LED's and started adding fabric over top. I'll be putting another layer of black sheer costume fabric over the red.  Calun is helping me with how to attach the arm, he has a shoulderguard with a few straps wrapping around the arm and the body, which I'll probably be trying to do. It still looks nasty, and I'm worried it'll look very ragged and unclean after I finish with puttign the fabric on


I also got some thicker cotton socks (Thanks to Calun for finding them ) And they're the right color to begin with, so I'll be going straight to cutting them once I get the arm done.


I've been working on styling the wig too, but I may have to get some spray for it, the gel I have doesn't work too well.


Pictures attached! I also took video of the fading effect with the LED's, in different lighting

Looking awesome! With LED's no wonder its taking a while.

HUZZAH FOR LACK OF UPDATES

I'm cramming trying to get it done now, since con is 3 days away, my dragon suit took me longer than I expected

SO
I got the socks cut,


Added the little neckpiece emblem thingy


re-did the arm a bit with attachments, and a friend came over and helped me make the foam base look nicer (I'm going to work out another version with EVA foam, and different styles for lights and whatnot for NDK if I can)



 and cut out the leather for my magazine-not-magazine belt pouches (using them to hold money, my phone and some photography cards).


And made a cosplay Nori badge because I thought it'd look cute


I'll be working hard after work today to get the pouches done and putting the lights back on.

And dergon suit because I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but THIS IS THE REASON WHY IVE BEEN SO SLOWWW

[Malina]

That's looking really good Nori, can't wait to see the final piece

[Shoon]

Cosplay looking good!
The suit looks amazing though

[Ventus Fall]

I like.... EVERYTHING!
Really nice

Shows us another picture when you are wearing it all and stuff?

[Nori]

Thank you guys ;-;

So I tried my best, but da spoopy beastie


kept on trying to kill a string of lights hanging down. lol

So anywho, wig looks dumb, I think I messed it up, and I don't think I'll put fabric over the arm since I'll be making a new one.
And I derped and forgot to get the belt, but I'm working on fixing mai gloves so :c



And have a spazzy kitty

I don't know this charactar which means I don't have  a certain bias.
But it seems that the hair looks too nice, the charactar has in some way quite chaotic way whilst the hair you have is too nice, it's too tidy.

For the rest: you do use an interesting technique for making the costume, techniques I might use in model railroading

[Nori]

Heya!!! Yeah, I'm going to commission someone to fix up the wig for me, I did what I could, but it is far from my strong suit. I have a few people in mind, but I'll see their turnaround for after comic con.

[Shoon]

Looking great. Where are you putting the power source for the lights?

[Nori]

Thanks Shoon! And just battery packs on the outside of the arm, my next one I'm going to use button batteries, they're much lighter and smaller
And some pictures from Comic Con, ble. This was Saturday, and it was madness, my brother and I were so tired

[Ventus Fall]

That looks FREAKING AMAZING!
SO cool to see everything together
