GiddyArts and Crafts

Updates on the phone case since I started that up again kinda for inktober. Only 3 new ones so far, but hopefully that will grow! I have a list of ideas so if I don’t suck more will be coming soon

The phone case I ordered early Feb FIIIINALLY decided to show up. So now I'm getting my doodle on! Doing one doodle a day, just adding anything that I fancy (obvi it's all gonna be nerdy things hehehe) I'm posting them mostly on my Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/giddyarts/ but I will post a few here every once in a while! ... I'm gonna have to make the triforce more interesting, it looks so flat consider to the rest

SHE HAS A NAME!! it was just released this am that her name is Makoto Niijima, so *confetti* Anyway, here is tonight's progress! The epaulettes were causing some problems initially, but once I got the right kind of glue it went much smoother. The one on the left was the first one so it looks less tidy.... I have a bad habit of winging it instead of patiently testing my methods... Speaking of winging it, I made that turtleneck from a pair of leggings completely from scratch L O L. Tbh I think I might try to refine the process, it looks pretty good imo for guessing at... every cut and measurement XD next up is the bodice, and figuring how to attach it to everything else! And also adding spikes to things probably

Alright, progress from my first 2 nights working on my last min Queen cosplay! I'm pretty happy with the boots and the mask so far :D they are the bottoms of leggings that I cut a heel hole into, then glued to the shoes after painting the toe. The black trim is literally just sharpie lol. The blue and orange forms are the pauldrons and poleyns, they'll get a layer of the same fabric as the boot covers glued onto them. The pauldrons actually seem to continue down to connect to the gloves.... So we'll see if I can figure that out... I was gonna just do a single layer of silver paint for the mask, but then I remembered that dry-brushing is you best friend. The mask is just a piece of mat board that I scored down the middle and cut up. I'll probably post the patterns for the pauldrons and the mask later if anyone is interested!

I’m so in love with her tho wow like does her persona turn into a MOTORCYCLE??? I wonder when we will find out what her name actually is lolol

Did I just buy 5 pairs of leggings and some shoes from Ardene's in hopes of throwing together a Queen cosplay from the latest Persona 5 trailer by Ottawa Comic Con next weekend? Yes. Yes I did. Let's see if I can pull it off hahahaha.... I kind of forgot to do anything for this year, I definitely don't have time to do Darklaw, so I think I can do this? I'M SO EXCITED FOR PERSONA 5 THO WOW

My Arda SILKY wig arrived!! I love it, of course :D I've never done blonde before, fun fun! this is gonna be for an eventual She-ra cosplay, so I'll need to loosen the curls. I tweeted at @ardawigs and they responded very quickly, I can do this using a hot hair dryer, so I'll give that a shot at some point. But for now, gonna just wear it while playing video games hahaha

@gloomyskye i was thinking of getting the Eowyn in black but they're out of stock :( I've actually got the Ororo in honey sitting in my cart cause a friend and I talked briefly about doing He-Man + She-ra for Halloween next year, and its honestly the only other costume I have in mind at the moment! I've got a few more days tho, so I'm gonna mull it over a bit more. The Venus is tempting too but since I don't have a costume in mind it's hard to pick a style and colour... Aaaaarg I wish I had something other than Darklaw planned!!

WHAT COLOUR. WHAT STYLE. WHAT SHOULD I GET hmmmmmmmmm suggestions?

But yeah, printing at home should be fine for this, provided you are able to resize the pattern and print it in pieces. This will probably involve a lot of winging it, with lots of trial and error. Good luck, and let me know if you have any more questions! I hope you'll send me some pictures of the completed cosplay :D
