Goodness, I've been so busy with life that I've had hardly any energy to keep up with my blog lately. Lately being... well, a few months. Yikes!
I've been hoarding all things needed for our Castlevania: SOTN cosplays, and have pretty well finished 95% off my shopping list.
Just a quick little post, I made some custom resin casts for Alucard's cloak, and they came out quite beautifully! Surprisingly only took a day or two to build the positive, make the silicone mold, and cast the resin. I've also cast the buckles that run down the middle of his waistcoat (vest), but I'm still experimenting a bit with them yet.

Anyways, I'll be tackling the vest once I've completed Alucard's undress (His poet shirt!) and then from there, the frock coat and cloak. I haven't skimped on the quality of materials one bit. I'm using cotton bastiste for his shirt, black silk dupioni for the vest, 100% black velveteen for his frock, and silk satin for his cloak. I even made it a point to order fancy filigree lining for the inside of his frock coat, as well as a pretty amazing textured silk for the collar. Needless to say, I'm
beyond excited to see this through!
Cheers for now,
