#cosplay hat

[cecilioque]

A little behind the scenes of the hat making process. The Submas hat badge will essentially be a 6.5cm enamel pin that is fastened to the face of the hat. And when I say fastened, I mean pretty much bolted on there. You won't have to worry abut it falling off, and since it will be metal it is long lasting.

This is a mock up of the badge rendered so that a 3D mold can be made. It will be plated and filled with correct colors of enamel before being attached to the hat.

The Submas hat is a LIMITED Edition preorder. Due to the size and effort, I will not make these again. You can choose your size so that the hat fits they way you want it too. Interested in preorders? Join our Email list for updates, announcements, notifications, and product drop reminders.

A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE

I restocked Phoenix Wright hats for the first time since 2016. There are now two versions - the standard and one made with a looser knit and lighter yarn in an attempt to be more breathable at them there all-day summertime cons.

Both version come complete with the O-face pin and they're double-thick so they are definitely warm and good for cold weather.

Get 'em while supplies last. I'm fatigued by them after making so many so I won't be stocking them again for a while.

Ten and Missy! Our Halloween costumes 🥰

My first ever comic con! And first cosplay too. Of course it's gonna be my boy :] Ramblings about the process are under the cut(Let me know if?? You would want me to elaborate with process images for any of the steps?)

The costume took me forever to make, as I've never done any machine sewing, sculpting, fabric dying or spray painting before but learning all of these was so fucking fun!! I never realised just how many different skills go into making a cosplay but it was so worth it!!!

Almost all of the clothes(except the hat) were purchased first as bases, but all of the detailing was added by me. All of the fabric used was originally just scraps that I was given for free so I needed to learn how to dye and dye all of the stars, they were originally white.

The sewing machine was its own beast that brought me tons of frustration from the lack of skill and knowledge (it was devastating to find out that 95% of fuck ups were my fault and not the machine's lmao). But as a result, a hat sewn from scratch, all of the fur trims, embroidery on the corset, stars and the collar(which is very hard to see on the pictures unfortunately) was all added manually. The stars and the stripes(on the back of the cape) were attached using heat-and-bond adhesive (I WISH I knew about such thing just when I started working on this. It would save me so much time and nerves.)

Then I found out about polymorph(mouldable plastic) and it has become the next thing I wanted to learn, to sculpt the claws and the fangs(yes, they're handmade jfksjs). The claws I then primed and painted in trillion coats because I wasn't satisfied with the colour of the spray paint. The fangs I moulded to my own teeth and then stained with tea to match the colour of my teeth :)c

As for makeup, I used Mehron Paradise water activated paints. At first I wanted to try to save money and bought myself Snazaroo instead, which unfortunately turned out to be a waste. Snazaroo didn't hold on my face for longer than 2 hours, cracking and peeling awfully. Mehron on the other hand survived 11 hours of me smiling, talking, emoting and such and didn't even crease at the smile lines(I'm actually shocked about that). It obviously works like any other makeup which means your skin texture and wrinkles won't go anywhere but Mehron's elasticity pleasantly surprised me. It did obviously smear from sweat and saliva(if you're eating and licking your lips) but if you don't touch the skin it just dries again, self setting. But if it's dry it's fully smear-proof. Highly recommend!

And last but not least, I've decided against painting my hands as it was very risky that I will stain everything I touch at the smallest hint of sweat. So instead I got myself gloves-tights(? Not sure how they're called but it's made from the same fabric as tights) and painted them with normal acrylic paint(did you know you could dye fabric with acrylic paint? I personally didn't), then heat set with an iron and voilà, they're reusable, my hands are not stained after an exhausting day and I don't stain everything I touch. It worked wonderfully which honestly was a surprise as I was really sceptical that acrylic paint will somehow stay in place.

I think this whole thing took me minimum of 6 months with big-big breaks for my school and life in general. But I'm really proud! This project taught me so many new skills and I couldn't have been happier about learning new knowledge, even if it sucked to fail in the meantime.

Everyone at the con was really nice and gave me a large confidence boost even tho it was my first time and I had no idea what I was doing. Taking photos with other people was really awkward/new for me as I hate cameras so I really had no idea how to pose/behave in front of one. But that's okay I think. This whole experience definitely made me want to do this again, so I think that will come with experience. Thank you for reading this far, hope you enjoyed this little summary :)

LITTLE GUY O'CLOCK

whew!! I've had this idea for a soot sprite cosplay for Litcherally so long, i thought it was never going to happen but lo and behold! here he be!! !!! I was trying to avoid fur projects to give the Dust Situation in my abode a rest but that...did not happen 🤨

This costume is another primarily suede affair, with only a few accent fabrics other than the faux fur. 90% of fabrics were from big z....again. The things of note on this guy are the chubby stars which are all painted novelty stress balls! also the big soot sprite, Augustus, is actually a fur covered beach ball.

I've always gotten a kick out of this design and thought the soot sprites were just endlessly charming, so i'm pretty happy with this project!

I... I cannot take myself seriously in this hat.

Since I beat Great God Grove, I decided to make Inspekta’s hat out of cardboard

[muttsandmustelidae]

Today’s outfit! I went as Dipper for Halloween 2018, so I already had the vest ready to go! Sadly, I don’t know what happened to the sock puppet Dipper I made in 2018 for my costume.

Submas Cosplay Hat Preorders Coming 7/13/24

Since I don't have the space to store these hats in my current locations, this will be the only run I do of these. That said, I would like to get a head count of those planning to get one. This will help me get quotes from my manufacturer since I have to order a certain amount of each design.

Since I'm getting these made with an actual uniform manufacturer, hats will be about 50-60usd because of the detail and durability.

These are great for cosplay and for drawing references. Worried that the red band wont match your submas coat? No problem. You can cut off the band or cover it with one of your own. So if you have the same colored fabric from your coat left over you can use it to make a new band so that the hat matches your specific cosplay.
