The Sky Calls to Us

No head removal necessary, I just change the eyelid positions with my fingers while I’m in costume. I can’t see what I’m doing but I can feel where the lids are, which is enough to estimate the expression. It doesn’t always come out as intended but that’s part of the fun too, I guess!

Good luck with your project!!!!! You can do it!!!

And thank you for the compliments, wow! ;0; That really means a lot to me. Thank you!

And yes, I’d love to see it! Thanks! :DDD

Thank you so much! You can read about the head and beak stuff in my Kenku Costume FAQ!

It took about a month to get it con-ready, but I’ve kept picking at it here and there over the last couple years, improving it a little bit by bit. Like, I redid the feet, overhauled the tunic (both aesthetically and structurally,) added tons of feathers... stuff like that. :)

The shorts I chose just happened to be made out of denim, so I’m pleased to tell you that some non-zero percentage of my kenku costume is jorts. 

Hi everyone, wow! I have been having an unexpected hiatus from Tumblr for about a month! I’m trying to get back into it. I just realized today that I got a bunch of asks and messages that tumblr never alerted me about. Amazing! So if you sent me a message sometime in the last ????? number of weeks, sorry about that! I’m going through them now so sit tight. Thanks for your patience!

Oh my gosh, that’s so cool!!! THAT’S REALLY COOL, YO!!!! What day were you thinking of wearing it? Maybe we can coordinate and meet up!! Please come off anon so we can make plans or something! 8DDDD

Nice!! I may or may not bring my bird costume to PAX this year, but if you see me, please say hi! I’ll give you something g-- uh... I’ll give you something. ;>

I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO PAX WEST THIS YEAR AND WILL BE DISTRIBUTING HIGH-FIVES TO ANYONE WHO WANTS ONE, HMU

Thanks!! ♥ The pup actually belongs to my friend WickedSairah! Isn’t he the cutest?! His smiley dog face warms my heart, too. ♥

Thank you! That really means a lot to me! ♥

Last weekend I did a photoshoot with my completed Prompto costume! It was a ton of fun and I had a very special (and VERY cute) guest star. It will be a few weeks before I get the pictures back, but in the meantime, here are some selfies from my DIY photoshoot in my bathroom. By the way, I have a bunch of WIP photos, tutorials, and downloadable resources for this costume on my Patreon. (And I also have a ko-fi if you’re into that sort of thing!)

Shoutout to @repmet for taking reference screenshots for me to base my work on! They saved my life! 🙏
