ReplyDeleteHello, and good morning Psybella! Thank you very much for contacting me! ^o^
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind shooting me an email to BeataBissettTyski@gmail.com, we can take it from there. :3 Just let me know your character/series (Assuming Hetalia:England?), any reference art you like (I have lots of that on my end too), if you want to be creative with it, colors, etc.
We can chat about pricing as well~ hope this helps!
Hello, I saw your Mia and Godot cosplays. Very Impressive, I was wondering what you used to get the red reflective surface of the Godot mask, and just so I'm sure, is the mask made of craft foam?
ReplyDeleteThank you Juan for both the compliment and question!
DeleteThe red reflective surface of Godot's mask was a sheet of UV protective football visor plastic. I snagged it off of ebay some time ago. I'm not sure if that seller is operating anymore (He was an Australian seller) but I can do some digging around if you're interested in buying one too.
The mask was a jumble of processes. The first layer is Wonderflex (Outer), and we heat-curved it over a tube surface to get the right shape. We lined it with a little craft foam for stability and thickness. The outer part of the mask was then "bondo'd" (Auto-body resin) and wet sanded once dried. I used a really nice aluminum finish craft paint, sealed it with a clear coat, and then placed the red visor sheeting inside the mask.

DeleteI was just wondering if you had any pointers on a Kraft Lawrence costume (like what fabric is good and what patterns)
ReplyDeleteHello there! I'd be happy to assist you with this.
DeleteWhen I think Kraft Lawrence, I think suede (either real, or fake), cottons and linens for materials. He is wearing a bomber-style brown jacket (That you might even be able to buy and re-purpose on eBay), a simple olive linen/micro-suede vest, and dark navy denim work pants. The dress shirt looks like a plain white, to which you could add the triangle designs on the bottom very easily using a continuous length of bias tape ribbon.
If you wanted to chat more about it in depth, feel free to message me on facebook -- I'm a lot fast there, and can walk you through the costume more if you're interested in taking it on!

Because it's a simple costume for pieces, I think you could get away with buying most of these items ready-made, and alter them slightly.
Delete1) Leather/suede or fake leather/suede bomber jacket, add your own collar.
2) Dark navy denim/canvas pants
3) White dress shirt
I think the only thing you might have to make would be the vest, and add the designs to the bottom of the dress shirt, a collar for the jacket (unless you'd rather make the whole jacket thing) and the pouches. There are multiple jacket patterns available online, as well as the vest through ebay. Just takes a bit of sifting through to find the right fit.
Did you use a pattern for your Alucard costume, or just come up with that yourself? We are attempting it for a Vampire Ball, and I think I might be able to piece it together, but if you used specific patterns and wanted to share, that would be much appreciated
ReplyDeleteHello, I thought your Mia Fey & Godot Costumes were really good! I just wanted to ask, how did you make/or where did you buy the godot waistcoat? I've been trying to figure this one out for a while now :P Thank you in advance <3
