I showed you my bionicles, please respond

FINALLY!! Saint Ripleys Detail Breakdown! I still have a few more images to go through of Ripley, but I finally had some time to get to my details! Pic 1 shows the original sketch, you can see I had a lot more xenomorph garbage on the costume. I realized it made it overwhelming & messy. I do still have the back spines I made, but I don't think I'll be implementing them on this costume. Maybe another?? 2: The Sacred Heart. I wanted the Face Hugger to sit where the Sacred Heart sits in such iconography, the legs being the 'rays". 3: An obvious detail: the Power Loader aesthetic used for the border on the robe, replacing the typical gold 4: The Cincture has been replaced with the M41-A Pulse Rifle ammo bandolier 5: Hidden detail: the tassle at the end of the cincture has a hidden Weyland Yutani logo on it! 6: I incorporated both the tracker watch & of course, her shoes! 7: Finally: the halo is a Xenomorph Queen tail, gilded in gold. The main body of the dress was a gorgeous silk I chose to match her blue jumpsuit, of course with the Nostromo patches on arm/chest! I put so much thought and love into this costume, I wanted it to be a celebration of one of the characters that shaped me, growing up. ~

Decided to get a las pistol together for my Lotara Sarrin cosplay so here’s the beginnings- paper pattern and layers of foam. Some dremel clean up and then we’ll start gluing them together. Pvc pipes and we’ve got a pistol!

Currently working on Mad Moxxi cosplay from Borderlands! The costume parts are in various stages of progress, but I've done her pistol Rubi already. Made out of foam, glued with foam hot glue, painted with acrylics - brush and airbrush.

That little aluminum foil trick for making more complicated foam patterns is a lifesaver

Bonus: the Inquisitor looking out my window

My Sigrun cosplay :D the most beautiful photos of my sigi from last year. I'm still very proud to have built it, even if it was a lot of work.
