#claw gloves

[brella-boi]

This will be the last update on the project before I share the final getup.

It is 5 days before the deadline. I should be packing shit up really before I travel 7000km across the atlantic ocean.

Yet here we are. At last. The last few things.

Last time we left off we were gassing our family with spray paint fumes. It is -checks watch- 6 days later and the room still smells like fumes.

But lets not despair. I had both sides spray painted black and i didbt even have to go in to touch up the edges since it absorbed a fair amount of paint there! Gnarly.

It was time to paint. I got the most expensive tub of paint ive ever purchased in my life but its SO vibrant and so glittery you know what i dont even regret it considering im a cheapskate. I planned to do it in 4 different coats.

Coat one: a darker shiny as the base.

Looking pretty good. A nice dark fading into light.

Second coat: brighter blue

Third coat: bright green is spots only

Fourth coat: black along the stem and some pure unmixed metallic blue very sparingly around the shiniest areas

And voila!

Crow feathers are only shiny on one side. So I didnt have to worry about doing this for both sides thankfully. I did do a deep dark blue on the underside of some larger feathers for texture though.

Now to make the tail.

It was pretty straightforward. Nothing special was done with it. I measured an elastic band around my waist and sewed it up. Then stuck the feathers how I wanted.

Using some left over foam I constructed the base of the tail the feathers will stick only. Now even though the feathers ARE quite light, i wanted to make sure i can pose the base up or down just in case the tail went flat against my ass and id be kicking it with my feet. So this called for another wire action.

The foam has a back and top glued together so the wire cant escape. After that it was a matter of sewing the foam to the elastic, then gluing on the fur and sewing the top to the elastic again, and the sides so the foam doesnt peek out.

Look at that pretty tail wont ya

Onto the wings!!!

If you saw my previous post you probably already know i wasnt doing this part with hot glue. Its easy to tear off hot glue from fabric if you pull hard enough. Whats NOT easy to tear off is superglue though. So i wrapped my arm around in kitchen papertowels and some masking tape (for extra defense points) and honestly that was probably too much. But it worked!

Layer 1 (Primaries) ^

The first layer is glued only to the fabric . This ensures that the big feathers can move around with my wrist and hand naturally without catching to the other feathers. Layer 2 (primary/secondary coverts) is stuck to their respective feathers only. For further movement. They do overlap the primaries though. Because theyre stuck onto the primaries, the above view is not pretty. This is where layer 3 (alula+median coverts) come in to play. These are stuck to both fabric, the edge of primaries, and the tops of coverts. This completely blends the feathers into the fabric as natural.

The we just put the claws on and voila!! (My fingertips were covered in masking tape dw)

Pretty straight forward just time consuming in between waits for the glue to bond.

I DID however, forget to put on my paper guard on when i put on the second glove. It did not hurt. Then i did again after putting an extra feather onto the first glove. That one hurt.

But!!! Theyre done!!

This concludes every single part of the costume FINISHED. 5 days before the deadline.

This has been a fucking JOURNEY and yall are insane for listening to me ramble.

Ill post some pictures in the full get up soon!

Prompt 173

Danny might have made a mistake. On one hand, thankfully, his class hasn’t realized he’s Phantom, which is good. On the other hand, he’s somehow become their arms dealer after maybe, just maybe er, being done with Skulker’s shit when he was just trying to do his test and er… maybe beating him to a pulp. As Danny Fenton. 

Well, the good news is apparently everyone now thinks that he doesn’t fight back lest he accidentally snap someone’s spine. Which is honestly kind of nice to not have to deal with the harassment anymore. 

How has he become the fenton technology arms dealer though?! Legitimately, he has no idea how it happened except for sleep deprivation and someone mentioning how one of the places that they might be going to for the field trip was Gotham. 

At least everyone has their weapons and knows how to use them when some sort of clown-masked people decide to break into the mall and attempt to take them hostage. So. He guess he can’t complain, and at least he got food that doesn’t come alive in exchange.
