#Sixsona

[lightleckrereins]

Sixsona designs can actually be made irl part 1

The whole project started when I made this post where I was trying to hypothesize what new color could be chosen for a fifth alt costume (yes fifth this was before silver swing existed) that worked with the rest. A few months later we started seeing silver previews, but those were all monochrome. And since we didn't know the color or that it was a swing costume, or that alternates would have principal costumes I began assigning the vinyl on that post to the first cover combos that didn't have an alt costume designed for them already. Half of those colors didn't make it to the list for various reasons so I had to find more. For that post I aimed for widely available textile holo vinyl colors, but once I expanded I had to go into rarer colors and some were not even meant as textiles.

And then. Between me figuring out the sixsona colors and now. The most commonly available textile holo vinyl (which includes some of the six stage vinyls) expanded its color range and suddenly I had textile holo for most colors. Currently only coral and magenta are not textile but instead craft vinyls. The rest you could buy them and make a costume no problem.

And its so wild to see them together @sixcostumerefs and I have made a point of creating designs that could be made in real life and to just see design and vinyl side by side feels crazy. I should look for sequins too tbh.

Bronze, coral, emerald and blue were designed by @sixcostumerefs

IRL Sixsona Designs Pt. 3: Boots Edition

Hey y'all! This is the third in a series of a few extra sixsona posts that @lightleckrereins and I are doing this week. Previous posts have been showing the real-life vinyl inspirations we used in our designs + showing the makeup plots we came up with!

For part three, we're doing the crystal colors we'd use for the boots! Designing the boots was always one of my favorite parts of the sixsona dessigns - I made each embellishment pattern based on existing crystal colors. I've worked with crystal embellishment for theatrical costumes a fair bit in my life, so it's really fun to apply that irl skill to this!

As a general rule of thumb, we tried to stick to some of Six's pre-existing styles, embellishment patterns, and methods. We did only use one specific Swarovski color chart, but the UK productions and their wonderful embellisher (@/crystalledbyjane) have actually been switching some designs to Preciosa due to supply changes.

White (swing): Jet, Crystal Light Chrome, Crystal

Yellow (A/B): Jonquil, Golden Topaz, Crystal Cream (A/S): Jonquil, Silk, Jet Bronze (A/C): Light Amber, Light Colorado Topaz, Jet

Mint (B/S): Peridot Shimmer, Light Turquoise, Crystal Coral (B/H): Padparadscha, Rose, Jet Emerald/peacock (B/P): Emerald Nightfall, Capri Blue Nightfall, Jet

Amber (S/C): Smoked Amber, Jet, Crystal Peach (S/H): Blush Rose, Light Peach, Crystal AB Light blue (S/P): Denim Blue, Light Sapphire, Jet

Magenta (C/H): Light Siam Shimmer, Light Rose Shimmer, Crystal AB Maroon (C/P): Crystal Volcano, Crystal Lavender (H/P): Tanzanite, Provence, Crystal

Some credit info: Designs for white, yellow, cream, mint, amber, peach, magenta, maroon, lavender + all art featured here is by @lightleckrereins. Original designs for bronze, coral, emerald/peacock, and light blue are mine. We each created our patterns and chose the crystal colours for our respective designs.

Gosh, this is the first time I tried making a Queen in the style of SIX the Musical.

It was really fun delving into this Queen's history as it's so interesting! Apparently she was given the title of King at her coronation and is known to be in love with her lady in waiting Ebba Sparre!

I tried using multiple references from the musical, specifically with Parr and Cleves' outfits, and with her portrait.

Idk if I should do more but let me know if you'd like me to do other Queens in history in SIX style! :)

@lightleckrereins made a beautiful picrew/but not really, more like a dressup game, for the queens! I tried it and made myself as an alt:

Avalanche is a good way to describe it.

New sixsonas to add to the avalanche being posted this week ( @lightleckrereins is a powerhouse with all hers). This one is new variations for Seymour/Parr.

For year 1, our sixsona designs had a base design/general variation intended to be used for both primary covers that could work equally well. For my S/P design, that was pants with a peplum, similar to how orange and teal alt use pants with peplum for a general variation. But I had always wanted to give this one a Seymour skirt as well and it was always designed with that possibility in mind. When Sofia suggested we do a second year with additional variations, I immediately started planning for this skirt. Here it was designed for Jasmine M Smith (S/P rehearsal alt for Bliss 5.0).

I also did a Howard skirt! The base design was partially made with Ellie Sharpe in mind since she’s the most prolific S/H/P cover, so again with this second year/new variations she was a no brainer for this H skirt to round out her covers.

And that brings the current chart to…

Imagine if I made a sixsona

[mushieeeeee]

game and art by @lightleckrereins 🫶🏻

[tveitertotwrites]

I'm going to redo this for the MC's I don't write for as well. Since the last time I did this I have 4 other MC's but I will put them in a different post so I don't go over the pic limit. So this reblog is Lillia, Olive, Aspen, and Briar.

Credit for the game and some of the Sixsona costumes goes to lightleckrereins, credit for the other sixsona costumes goes to sixcostumerefs.

Starting with the US style

Lillia Thompson (HSS MC): Alternate Aragon/Boleyn/Cleves

Olive Karagach (HSS: CA MC): Alternate Boleyn/Howard/Parr

Aspen Brooks (ROE MC): Alternate Aragon/Seymour/Parr

Briar Boleyn (TRR MC): Alternate Seymour/Cleves/Howard

Now onto the UK style

Lillia Thompson (HSS MC): Alternate Boleyn/Cleves (2nd Cover Aragon/Howard 3rd Cover Seymour/Parr)

Olive Karagach (HSS: CA MC): Alternate Howard/Parr (2nd Cover Boleyn/Seymour, 3rd Cover Aragon/Cleves)

Aspyn Brooks (ROE MC): Alternate Aragon/Seymour (2nd cover Cleves/Parr, 3rd Cover Boleyn/Howard)

Briar Boleyn (TRR MC): Super Swing (and if she was in a cast that had two Super Swings, her priority covers would be Boleyn/Seymour/Howard)

random thought

since I have four mc's/oc's I figured that if they were all in the same production of six as alternates/swings, what would be their cover orders.

Also if you notice some backgrounds are not the color they should be, no you didn't.

The maker was made by LightLeckrerekins

If they were in a us production

Brooklyn: Boleyn/Cleves/Parr

Claire: Aragon/Seymour/Parr

Adelaide: Boleyn/Cleves/Howard

Charlie: Aragon/Seymour/Howard

If they were in a uk production:

Brooklyn: Aragon/Cleves with Teal Alt Costume

Claire: Seymour/Parr with Pink Alt Costume

Adelaide: Boleyn/Howard with Orange Alt Costume

Charlie: Super Swing with Silver Costume

IRL Sixsona Designs Pt. 2: Makeup Edition

Hey y'all! This is second in a series of a few extra sixsona posts that @lightleckrereins and I are doing this week. The first post is here, showing the real-life vinyl inspirations we used!

This time around, I'm doing yet another hypothetical: what makeup would be used for each sixsona design!! My list of makeup recommendations for Six cosplayers is probably the post I'm second-most proud of (after sixsonas ofc). When I was initially working on that I kept seeing makeup that would be perfect for some of our sixsona designs, so because I have absolutely zero chill of course I had to figure out the full makeup plots for each.

The basic rules were - one glitter - one eyeshadow palette - and two additional products to fill in any gaps, as needed (this included fun stuff like an extra glitter or liquid liner, but also practical things like additional eyeshadow shades when needed or a liquid base for more sheer colors)

Mint (B/S): Nicka K Pop Neon Palette in Lucky Charm, With Love Pressed Glitter in Mint, Haus Labs Hy-Power Pigment Paint in Mint Matte, Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Life Coach Coral (B/H): Kimchi Chic Palette in Citrus Queen, Slayfire Cosmetics in Peaches & Scream, Danessa Myricks Colorfix Matte in Phoenix, Glisten Cosmetics wet liner in Rose Quartz Emerald/peacock (B/P): Cozzette Beauty Palette in Blue-Green, Designer Dust Co in Water Country Flakes, Danessa Myricks Colorfix Metallics in Firework, MAC Eye Shadow in Carbon

Amber (S/C): Colourpop in Rock On, Danessa Myricks Infinite Chrome Flakes in Hot Lava, Danessa Myricks Colorfix Liquid Metals in Hot Fire, Lemonhead Spacejam in Rainbow Road Peach (S/H): Colourpop in Sweet Talk, Lemonhead Spacepaste in Mulholland, MAC Dazzleshadow Extreme in Kiss of Klimt, MAC Eye Shadow in Shell Light blue (S/P): Colourpop in Blue Velvet, Designer Dust Co in Carolina Bae Micro, Danessa Myricks Colorfix Foils in Mermaid, Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Ice Dream

Magenta (C/H): Beauty Bay in Berries (16), Designer Dust Co in Bubblegum Bae Micro, Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Roy G. Biv, MAC Eye Shadow in If It Ain't Baroque Maroon (C/P): Juvia's Place in The Berries, Lemonhead Spacepaste in Wine Safari, MAC Pigment in Gold, Glisten Cosmetics wet liner in Bloody Mary Lavender (H/P): Juvia's Place in The Violets, Barry M Biodegradable Body Glitter in Hypnotic, MAC Dazzleshadow in It's All About Shine, Glisten Cosmetics wet liner in Amethyst

Some credit info: Designs for white, yellow, cream, mint, amber, peach, magenta, maroon, lavender + all sixsona art featured here by @lightleckrereins. Original designs for bronze, coral, emerald/peacock, and light blue are mine. I did most of the sourcing work for the makeup, but Sofia created the inspiration + made final decisions on the makeup for all her designs.
