Pepski Cosplay

Mel as YoRHa No.2 Type B (2B)

Mary as Gaige the Mechromancer

Mel as Athena the Gladiator

Hey! Just wanted to give our followers a quick update! Sorry we have been so inactive - a lot of life has been happening since last summer. 

Mary went back for her last year of college, and in the time leading up to Katsucon, Mel added a last minute Nier: Automata 2B cosplay to our list so that became a rush to finish. 

Katsucon went great, but we haven’t had much time to work on anything between graduating and beginning the job search and moving out.

Our next posts will be of our completed cosplays that we wore to Katsucon, as well as some breakdowns of our next costumes. So look forward to those! 

This upcoming week we will be making another big house move, but hopefully from there on out we should be making weekly progress on our costumes. 

Thanks for sticking with us,

Love me some good Gay Space Mom aesthetics. Those rainbow clown shoes though. 

Clunky and awkward design considered, we’re super happy with how these came out!  The acrylic paint and whole no-longer-looking-like-clown-pants bit really helps.

The Gaige tools are all complete! 

They’re all just EVA foam and acrylic, with some Sharpie detailing. 

Still haven’t decided if I’m going to spray these in a matte finish or not...

Athena’s pants are complete! It’s kind of weird to have them fade out like that but the paint goes down to mid-calf and her silly space boots go all the way up to the knee. 

Legendary Mecromancer class mod and the Roboteer class mod are complete!

This was a super fun little accessory to make, and now my Gaige cosplay has a purse, which is always a bonus. 

Here’s the almost complete Athena armor! All that’s left is to spray a matte finish on it. 

As for Gaige, the lunchbox has got its flat colors, and the bike belt is ready to be assembled. 

The front of the lunch box is going to be the Legendary Mechromancer class mod, and the back is going to be the Roboteer class mod.

Kicking off Athena’s leg armor! We gave the EVA foam ones a shot, but they were too bulky and weren’t creating the shape we wanted, so we’ve moved to the tried-and-true cardboard method. 

This is the first and middle layer of the leg armor. There’s going to be another craft foam layer on top, as well as a “inner” layer set into the top of the armor. 

Here’s a comparison of the two different breastplates we made for Athena’s costume. 

The left one is the first EVA foam piece we had ever made, completed a few months ago. The piece on the right is the one we just finished! 

The Athena scarf is completed!

We’re pretty happy with how it came out! There are some hooks that attach the short side of the scarf to the hood, and it takes some arranging to get it to sit correctly, but overall it really came together!

Camilla and Leo Aesthetics!

Got our shoe bases and all of our fabric! (Not pictured: the two yards of black vinyl for our armor)

Cellshading on the belts for Gaige and Athena is complete! Another check off the list.

Kicking off Athena’s leg armor! Here’s to hoping these work.

Here are the (almost) completed Gaige shirt and skirt!

All that’s left is to iron the skirt and paint on cell-shading details with acrylic. 

Some updates to the Athena armor! (and a shot of the Gaige belt accessories)

Turns out having the proper tools and glue makes things much easier. 

This is our second attempt at the armor; this rendition has fewer overall pieces and a much better shape overall.
