💙 Mystique❤ I gave up on trying to find a place to shoot this, set up a backdrop I made & got pics! I painted my neck & face using a mix of blues from Mehron Paradise makeup, everything below the neck is a bodysuit I made. I opted for a deeper scarlet red wig over primary red...I think bright looks great in art & comics, but when translated to life I prefer a subdued red on Mystique. Mesh lenses, I'm not comfortable putting in full sclera lenses. My jewelry & crown is all foam with spandex over it, hundreds of crystals glued on. Hopefully full body shots, soon!

Mystique, finally! 💙💀 I painted my neck & face using a mix of blues from Mehron Paradise makeup, everything below the neck is a bodysuit I made. I have been getting a lot of questions about this bodysuit due to the built in boobs, so here's the deal: I wanted to come up w a great way to do this & share it, but it's a hot mess. I made 3 bodysuits, using different things for boobs in an effort to avoid painting my body & getting it all over the white fabric whenever I wore this. I finally used thermoplastic as a boob-base. There are multiple seams in the spandex on the boobs, but I managed to get them at least where they are covered with the fabric drapes. But really, it's a frankenstien mess under there, so it's something that I'm going to keep working on.

Now that Magda is finished, I’m getting back to Mystique!! I needed to take a little break from it, I was getting frustrated & it was affecting the costume. I have a much clearer head, now, & am making a list of all the things left to knock out on it tonight!

Made some progress this weekend on Mystique! It looks rough, still shaping it (I'm holding it shut as I haven't installed the zipper, either!), but I can't wait to add all the fancy stuff!

I made this necklace last weekend, but hated it so remade it! The gems aren’t attached on the bottom yet, but I wanted to see how it looked! I’m much happier with it now. based on art by @dessi_desu! #Mystique #mystiquecosplay #marvelmystique #xmenmystique #ravendarkholme #ravendarkholmecosplay #mutant #xmenmutants #xmencomics #xmen #xmencosplay #marvelxmen #Marvel #marvelcomics #marvelcosplay #marvelcomicscosplay #marveluniverse #womenofmarvel #cosplayprogress #newproject #mystiqueprogress #fabrics #gems #sparkle https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_ryX6hH2_/?igshid=d52wzh2ed9ol
