I’m finally getting started on the Warrior Peach by @skirtzzz! It’s going to be a task since I’m very unhappy with both my mental state and my body at the moment, but you know what gonna press through cause I want to cosplay this dammit.
The first task before me was getting the bodysuit ready before I felt prepped to do the armor. Since I can’t wear a bra, I’m trying these Silicone Breast lifts from Hiramex (found on Amazon) to at least help with boob movement underneath the armor. Even though I have heavy cups they are really doing a great job at least reducing boob rash!
With that done I started making a guesstimate on the bodysuit. With some excess spandex from other projects I used the bodysuit pattern from Kwiksew to give me a high collar suit and just didn’t cut out the full legs. Way more fabric than needed, but gave me a starting point. From there I marked off where I wanted to cut away fabric, and then slowly trimmed and reshaped. With my first draft done, I re-cut it from new fabric and re-sewed. To be honest I’m super happy with draft 2, but I’m having crotch issues so I’m going to go with one more final draft and then think about cutting the full suit.
Brandon Routh: from the best Superman cosplayer to the Superman actor.
2003(age 24) Superman cosplayer for a halloween party.
2006(age 25-26) Superman in Superman Returns.
2019(age 39-40) Kingdom Come Superman in Crisis On Infinite Earth.
What’s next?
He will be a delicious silver fox.
I wish he could be Superman again before it’s too late. And of course, I’d love to see his version of Superman in his 50s.
There were no Superman over 50s. Oldest Superman was George Reeves. He was 44 y.o. when he was Superman for the last time. Christopher Reeve was 35 in Superman IV.
Brandon Routh is currently 42 years and 6 months old. So he could be the oldest Superman. I want to see middle aged Superman.
It’s time for a silver fox Superman in skin tight spandex suit!
