Tried hard to give these classics the production value they deserve (first and second post by @iguanamouth)

Sooo. I forgot to take a screenshot and now I can't find it anymore but I read in a comment on tiktok that iguanamouth died sometime in late 2022?? I know you two interacted back in the day and I don't know who else to ask. Do you know anything??

I only ever sent like 2 asks to iguanamouth so there was not much interaction between the two of us. I honestly don't know, I know that they stopped being active on tumblr for a while and then came back for a bit. But i dont know.

I hope iguanamouth is doing well these days, wherever they are.

I really miss @iguanamouth shenanigans and creations

Going through the Following list to see who’s still here- this one from two years ago got me to smile through the sad. Ever brighter, Iguanamouth.

My boy did not deserve this!!

@iguanamouth why you do him a pain?

[ace-4-fuck]

A few years ago, on a different tumblr account, I asked @iguanamouth about using their art for a tattoo. They said yes.

Well, its taken me years but I'm on an artists table. The 'dandylion' pun has just hit the rest of the shop. Pain has gone to numbness.

Its a good day.

agh, I just sent my print of this comic out for framing a couple weeks ago.

I'm dying to get it back.

This bin of name tag patches full of wonderful obscurities. Who is named TRAIG?? Are there any traigs out there?

When it comes to your art, what would you say is your specialty or what you do best?

i think i'm quite good at making people sad lmao

[bigmammallama5]

do you ever just. yeah.

It really makes me happy to see the things you reblog and tag as gorgeous lines. they are gorgeous. they're not always polished and perfect, but they're gorgeous anyways. I have shaky hands and the lines in my own art aren't always neat or perfect but I think you'd like them anyways. Thank you

that's exactly the message i try to send when using my art tags. honestly you wrote that so eloquently i got really emotional.

i find the creation of art very endearing, where it's not the perfection of the lines that matters, just the kind of voice people have when creating art and how they go about making their art, yknow? i love seeing how artists have different styles in how they draw things, like faces for example, or even in the way someone draws hands. i genuinely find it all so fascinating. it's gorgeous babey.

Here it is:

Every time I put this thing on I'm scared I'm going to take someone's eye out with these spikes. However with this much glue in a wig it means I have to do very little upkeep between cons!

This was my first time ever styling a wig beyond some brushing and hairspray as I did for my Snufkin cosplay. The base wig I used was Apollo in black from Epic Cosplay Wigs, and it was really good to work with! I probably should have shaken it out and used the hair dryer to make it more fluffy before I started, but I made it work in the end

To start off - gather reference images, and section out all the main points!

Then get your sister to teach you how to shape a spike. Don't fuck it up. Repeat this for all the other major spikes using the hairspray you bought 3 years ago, your mum's hairdryer because you don't own one, and PVA glue to keep those spikes sharp and everything together because you still don't know exactly what you're doing.

Then it's time to make a bunch of little spikes for the back, most of this will be covered up by the laurels. But damn, there's gaps, because a bunch of these spikes go up when the wefts go down! A smarter and/or more experienced cosplayer would have bought more wefts to sew in to thicken the hair and cover gaps. But who needs that when you've kept all the hair you cut off when making the spikes and you can hairspray and glue that into place to hide your mistakes!

While praying that no one notices the half kilo of glue that is now your wig, time for the laurels! I actually went through three versions - the first version I discarded straight away because my wig wasn't done when I started, and as a result of not being able to compare it was WAY too bulky, heavy, and didn't cover the right area. It did look pretty though. The second was what I wore to my first con - wire and some mesh material with the 'leaves' glued directly on. The leaves for both these versions were made of 3 layers of cheap fake material petals glued together, folded and painted - honestly too much work for the end result but it is what it is.

The third laurel's leaves are made of a thin wire covered in plastic laminate, left over from years ago when we used to cover our school books in it. Cut into the right shape, I then painted them, making sure to paint in the direction of the leaves 'veins' so when held up to the light they'd look more realistic. After that they were wrapped around a single thick bit of wire and a few sections hot glued for security.

Finally it could be attached to the wig! I just used a bit of thread and sewed them on in a few places, then adjusted the leaves to sit right. For an extra touch - some of the official art has embers tailing up off the laurels, so I added a few of my own. These are just some spare painted laminate glued to wire, the wire twisted and inserted into the hair.

Part of me wants to try and remake the wig from scratch so it's not such a glue soaked mess, or to go for a more natural look that I could actually brush my hand through like the Studio Grackle trailer, but I wanted a stylised look and I sure ended up with one!
