Pokémon Journeys x Super Mario

Slow updates cause been fighting demotivation issues, but also no streaming cause I’ve been bouncing back and forth between project ideas.⠀

Over the past couple days during the free time I had, I started doing mockups of other armors. This included the shoulder armor, as well as the boot patterns! To do both of these- like most of this costume, I wrapped myself up in plastic wrap and then masking tape and then outlined what I wanted.⠀

One of the interesting things I’ve done with both of these pieces is used poster-board to play around with some of the shaping. For example there is that little ‘lip’ on the armor that tape couldn’t shape, so I played with a piece of poster-board until I was happy. The same went for the shoes that have a 'steel toe’ as I’m going to call them, so I added some posterboard there to give my cheap sandal bases some 'lift’ that I could get the better shape for where the fabric will be going.⠀

Hopefully at some point I’ll get the bodysuit done. I tried to time myself so that the armor was completed before it became too cold outside to spray paint. At some point in my life I’ll work on an armor cosplay where it’s warm outside hahaha… ha..⠀

No stream last night because I was over doing some mutual babysitting with some cos-buddies! ⠀

While we were hanging I decided to get a jump on cutting out the foam for the bracers. This was done by first tracing out everything twice with a marker on the foam, keeping careful consideration to flip one side for the right bracer.⠀

This was my first time working with L200, and I’ve only worked with craft before. It’s a soft foam, and it appears very porous on the inside which I thought was interesting. But I didn’t have any resistance to my fresh exactoknife (really need a bigger one.) Like its sensitive, yet firm all at the same time. I’m not sure /how/ to describe it.⠀

Once the pieces were cut out, I used contact cement on the inside seams, let that dry, and then made sure to stick it together at my seam markers. And viola! Two sides of two bracers each! Need to clean up the seams a bit, carve me some divits, and then plot how I’m going to attach them, but so far so good.⠀

Want to give a super shout out to all those that joined me on my Twitch stream yesterday, and @cosplaysupplies who is sponsoring this armor build!

It was a super productive day, which was great given how bad I’d been fighting depression. A full draft was finished off the arm bracers that I’ll make of L200 foam.

The process started with making a live mockup on my arm with saran wrap and masking tape. The photos here are my second draft as I wasn’t happy with the first. I used 3 different markers to keep track of my steps= blue for gridlines and draft lines, red for more details, and black for final. I always use black as a final as it allows me to overlay more tape for making other drafts for smaller parts.

From this mockup I was able to make posterboard patterns for the foam pieces, as well as wrappers to make my groove lines with my hot knife. It was a great productive stream and I plan on doing more!

I wonder if she knows I lost on purpose

Body Swap episodes never sit well with the community. Here is one anyway.

Lugnut immediately knocked him out
