NIGHTCRAWLER TAIL TUTORIAL

Ever since I posted my most recent video of my Nightcrawler tail, my inbox has been filled with a bunch of miscellaneous questions of how I made it.

SO I just decided to give you guys a quick rundown with the WIP photos I’ve taken so far. Please feel free to use this method for your own cosplays, because the results are really amazing!! This can be used to make any type of moving tail, just edit the pattern to your liking!!

I loosely followed this tutorial, so credit for the original idea goes to him!! Between his and my tutorial, this way of making an articulated tail should be pretty clear :D

Supplies: -Paper -1 Craft foam board -X-Acto knife -Denim or some type of non-stretch sturdy fabric -Thick upholstery foam -Scissors -4-way stretch fabric

1) DIGITAL PLANNING

OKAY SO I started out with a digital pattern that I drew myself. I know I wanted it to be very long, so I made it as long as I thought possible without it dragging. IF IT DRAGS, YOUR TAIL WILL NOT SWAY. ALSO make sure your tail is horizontal to your body. If it goes vertical at any point, it will not sway with gravity. Please don’t make that mistake!!

Be sure to number your pieces!! It’ll save you a lot of tears later LOL Then cut apart each number box digitally, and place them onto separate document. Here’s exactly what my documents looked like:

Another Nightcrawler tail WIP!! Here’s the base of it :D

I covered the tail with a four-way stretch fabric, and it’s tight enough that it doesn’t create any wrinkles. The tail tip is just pinned on for this test, so it will be more secure and flowing in the end.

I’m really happy with the movement of it so far!! Can’t wait to add the textures

In your heart you have two wolves, they are fighting, you have anxiety.

Found the original sketch, and I have no idea why I decided to not keep the wolves within the heart shape because I much prefer this composition, so I’mma do a redraw from this!
