Finally, the breastplate for Venusaur is done! This project has me thinking about so many other original gijinka designs I'd like to tackle, but for now I'm just happy to approach the finish line with this one.⁣ ⁣ Finishing a cosplay is really, REALLY hard for me without a looming deadline, and I'm sure others can relate. All that's left is the dress/tunic garment, belt, wig styling, and a few simple details. Wish me luck for finding the drive to do all the annoying tasks to get this baby done!⁣ ⁣ If you're interested in seeing how I did the toad-skin texture, I posted a step by step tutorial for the process recently, and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Chestplate EVA: @tntcosplaysupply⁣ Leaf EVA: @sksprops⁣ Vinyl: @joann_stores⁣ Paint: Color Shift Aqua Flash and Brushed Metal Rose Gold from @plaidfx⁣ Texture: @surebonder hot glue, foam clay⁣ Primer/Sealer: @rustoleum Filler Primer/Clear Gloss⁣ ⁣ #pokemongijinka #sbmakerfamily #plaidcosplay #plaidfx #breastplate #femalearmor #venusaurcosplay #pokemonarmor #armorbuild #craftyourfandom #cosplaycrafting #prideinthemaking #foamcraft #evafoam #foamarmor #venusaur #venusaurgijinka #costumedesign #handmadewithjoann #workinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CARDwNhDwbo/?igshid=1rx3pisj7ax75

🍃🌸Current status of Venusaur's breastplate armor, plus some WIPs of the build!🌸🍃⁣ ⁣ Aaron helped me make a duct tape pattern, which I transferred to builder's paper, then eva foam. I then beveled the edges of the cups and glued them together with contact cement. To create the patterns for the leaves, I covered the cups with masking tape and drew the leaves on, carefully removing the tape and creating darts where necessary to fit the curves. Heat shaping helped with this as well! I painted the leaves with my airbrush and some handpainting before using a 2-part epoxy glue to attach them.⁣ ⁣ The next step for this piece is to attach it to the faux leather base. I dont think I explain the idea super well but trust me it will make sense when its together! 😂⁣ ⁣ Currently working on creating the tutorial video for the texturing, be sure to follow so you dont miss it! 💖⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⚒ Built with eva foam & foam clay from @tntcosplaysupply⁣ 🔫 Textured with hot glue from @surebonder⁣ 🎨 Painted with Color Shift Aqua Flash & Brushed Metal Rose Gold paint from @plaidfx⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #wipwednesday #pokemongijinka #sbmakerfamily #plaidcosplay #plaidfx #breastplate #femalearmor #venusaurcosplay #pokemonarmor #armorbuild #craftyourfandom #cosplaycrafting #foamcraft #evafoam #foamarmor #venusaur #cosplayartist #cosplaypainting #wipcosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/B_S8MqKjcc4/?igshid=bgfqq0hlst70

My mind is blown. I didn't think it was possible. I feel like a crafting angel has descended upon me and blessed me with the most perfect paint on the planet. WHAT THE HECK, YO???⁣ ⁣ I'm disgustingly obsessed with this @plaidfx Color Shift acrylic paint. I put the Aqua shade in my airbrush (which I am still new to) with a bit of thinner, applied it over a white base coat, and the results make me so damn happy. I am going to need a GALLON of this stuff for my next project!! So if Plaid wants to hook a gal up... 😉😉😉 lemme know!!⁣ ⁣ The small clover is made with Foam Clay and the big clover is EVA foam, both from @tntcosplaysupply ❤⁣ Sealed with @krylonbrand Triple Thick Glaze.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #handmadecrafts #plaidcosplay @plaidcrafts #plaidcolorshift #evafoamcosplay #colorshiftpaint #folkartpaint #cosplaypainting #cosplaytips #elpheltvalentinecosplay #wipcosplay #cosplayaccessories #foamclay https://www.instagram.com/p/B8XUmSWjOMO/?igshid=vp6o9c7riebk

We carved a #warboy belt buckle for a #furiosa #cosplay piece on stream yesterday. Off stream I poured a @smoothon dragon skin mold and clear resin pour into it. Next step is @plaidcrafts #brushedmetalpaints Here is the result. #plaidcosplay #geekymcfangirl https://www.instagram.com/p/B3IbLrsnkSE/?igshid=1ce2vts7pp85x
