It drives me nuts that nobody acknowledges that James Sunderland's jacket is a specific military jacket-- the M-65 field jacket-- and not the now-standard horror protagonist "LL. Bean" jacket. (like Ethan Winters wears)
it is important because it is a specific reference to the film Jacob's ladder, where the character is a Vietnam veteran.

I have but ONE pic that like enough of my Astarion cosplay
I’m not even posing, and it is embarrassing as fuck
Tumblr media
I’d like to remind y’all that is was 36 degrees hot (95 Fahrenheit) and I had FAKE LEATHER PANTS
Ah and from this magnificent fair I did not buy anything but I brought home a fantastic DERMATITIS thank you very much
So to ALL Astarion cosplayers: don’t wear the pants if it’s hot. It’s not just the heat, it’s the heat, the sweat, the dust, everything will collect in those pants.
I know what you’re thinking: “if he can do it I can do it too!!!”
No darling.
Our beloved vampire does not have a heartbeat, he does not sweat. But JUST LIKE US he does not like the concentrated power of the SUN in his pants, for a whole day.
You want to wear a good cosplay? Find a cotton alternative for the pants. Or suffer the consequences like me. It’s been 2 days of dermatitis, I got some medicine prescribed today :) I want to kill the sun

Phantom on a Budget Website Redesign!
I am excited to announce that the Phantom on a Budget website has been completely rebuilt and relaunched! It features a more modern, streamlined, and mobile friendly design. I added more reference materials for cosplayers, costume planning resources, Maria Bjornson sketches, mask paint instructions, and more.
I hope this new site will continue to serve the Phantom cosplay community for another 20 years! Please do check it out as it is a phenomenal resource for new and experienced Phantom cosplayers alike.
If you have used the site in the past, please comment below and let me know! ❤️

Where can you get all of the items for Lt Simon "Ghost" Riley 'Nightware' ?
I’m sure if you input the item’s name (from my 2.0 cosplay guide, not the original one I posted that is not nearly as comprehensive) into Google, you’ll find no shortage of retailers offering that product or comparable products to suit your needs.
Just be mindful that some items that he has are modified after the fact, are fictionalised variations in colours not commercially available, are items not available for public purchase due to various kinds of restrictions and regulations, or may just be cost prehibative due to there not being any clones made by overseas suppliers (looking at you, FirstSpear).
Good luck and happy hunting!

The 2nd Doctor's footwear
decided to make a post about it because 90% of the time his feet look completely featureless on screen and Google rarely provides helpful images.
In the colourised/spiced up image on the official Doctor Who Website has him wearing these black and shiny shoes, which I feel are slightly out of place for the 2nd Doctor, just for the fact he most often is seen with shoes that are worn and warped to an extent.
Tumblr media
In his debut episode The Power Of The Daleks, he wears the ones seen below.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They're not entirely worn yet, but you can clearly tell they're not brand new either. The leather has wrinkled and warped, and the soles of his shoes have visible wear. I haven't got a clue what kind of shoes these are and can't seem to find other shoes like them online, so I did my best to make a general sketch of how they're shaped.
This shoe has rather angular soles with a small but decently raised heel. Then the shoe itself seems to have a little flap at the back and front.
Tumblr media
Though these are not the shoes he'll have for his entire run.
In The Space Pirates, there's a surviving shot that gives a clear view of his shoes as well. The leather is once again worn and warped, but here you can clearly see it's laced at the front. The heels are also seemingly lower than the ones in his debut episode. I tried my best to find shoes close to the ones he's wearing, but the ones below are the only ones I thought were similar enough.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But you might be asking to yourself, "i-like-media, why are you looking at these low quality, black n white images? His shoes appeared in the 3rd's debut episode and he later came back for The Three Doctors" And you're right! They did appear in the 3rd's first episode! But let's take a closer look at those.
Tumblr media
We get a clear (and hilarious) scene with the Doctor hugging his shoes, and essentially see them at all angles.
We're to believe these are the same shoes he wore in The War Games, so these should be good reference pictures of what the 2nd Doctor wore... except SIKE! THESE AREN'T THE SAME SHOES!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The shoes below are what he wore during his trail, at the last moments as the 2nd Doctor! They're a totally different type of shoe! The black shoes are also shiny and clearly new, with them having no wear at the soles or wrinkles in the leather. The shoes above also seem to be slip-on shoes with a regular heel, while the 2nd doctor wore laced shoes with a rather small heel.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's also seen wearing a similarly styled pair of shoes in The Mind Robber. These shoes have a similar low heel and are also laced. These shoes also however seems to have the shoe-side-flaps be warped and curled themselves besides the typical wear we've come to expect.
Tumblr media
Here are also some similar looking shoes I've found from various other episodes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These shoes seem to be the ones that are, in his original run, the most common type of shoes for him to wear! Not the shiny, featureless slip-on type of shoes merch often portrays him in.
Then let's take a look at the shoes he wore in The Three Doctors, and it's back to those shining, smooth and new shoes...
Tumblr media
Technically this would confirm the 2nd Doctor DID wear those shoes at some point in time and clear up the discrepancy of the 3rd Doctor hugging those shoes, but in my opinion the costume department of that episode didn't really understand what the costume department of his original run was doing (which is essentially making him look unkempt on purpose. In his original run they intentionally gave him a coat that's too large for him and here he's wearing a coat that's exactly tailored to be his size.) But I digress. This episode does show the 2nd Doctor wearing these smooth and new type of shoes, albeit uncommon for him to actually wear those.
Though there's one pair of shoes that no one ever seems to talk about.
These ones he DOES wear frequently on screen and I've yet to see merch with him wearing them...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's the wellies. Of Course it's the wellies. Patrick wore these often on set while filming outside, as seen in the on-set pictures above... but these often ended up making it into the episodes themselves. Such as below in the episode The War Games.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are clearly continuity errors between takes, since the Doctor seems to wear regular shoes when not walking around rough terrain in the very same episode OR EVEN the scene before, but it's honestly a discrepancy I've grown rather fond of. I'd like to think he's somehow always carrying them in his Mary Poppins pockets.
Anyways, I hope this post kind of helped put a clearer perspective on what the 2nd Doctor wore and what type of shoes you as a cosplayer/artist could be looking for! Also sorry for some chaotic wording ^o^'
For a more coherent and deep dive into the 2nd Doctor's costume, you should check out The Zero Room by LeeMoone! They've done incredible deepdives into his outfit over the years!

After many years of creating kits, we've begun making master lists on our website for some of our most popular series. To kickstart our posts here, we're starting with Fire Emblem! It is very near and dear to the heart of DL and we wouldn't be where we are without it!

My tutorial on painting elf ears appears to be making the rounds on Pinterest again, so I thought I'd share it here. 😊 If you have any questions about the process or if you used the tutorial to paint your own set of ears, let me know!

The M-1965 Field Jacket (also known as M65, M-65 Field Jacket, and Coat, Cold Weather, Man's Field), named after the year it was introduced,[1] is a popular field jacket initially designed for the United States Armed Forces under the MIL-C-43455 standard. It was introduced into U.S. military service in 1965 to replace the previous M-1951 field jacket, itself an improvement on the M-1943 field jacket introduced during World War II, although the M-51 continued to be issued for quite some time. The front portion of the jacket has two large hip pockets and two medium-sized breast pockets. The collar of the jacket features a zipper which houses a protective hood. The M-1965 field jacket can be combined with a button-in insulated lining for cold-weather wear, as well as a button-on fur trimmed winter hood. The jacket is fastened with a large aluminum (later brass, then nylon) zipper, with a storm flap fastened with snaps covering it. The jacket has also been produced for civilian use since at least the early 1970s, and has been available in many different colors and patterns, many of which were never used by the United States Army or any other armed service.

I made the pdf of Astarion’s Dagger, the one he has equipped early in the game (the one he uses against Tav, during their first meeting… if you know what I mean 👀 ).
It’s free because all Astarion’s girlies deserve a little dagger, as a treat :)
Let me know if you make it from scratch :)
As info: the total length should be 39 cm or 15,35 inches. You can adjust the pdf scale using your printer, according to the length you want it to be.
It was honestly a bit hard to draw, since it’s not a knife and the lines are not straight, but the center line IS straight so (I guess it’s one of the few straight things about him… anyways) I had to balance the lines a bit
It has a place in my heart because it is the first EVA foam thing I made 💖 so I think sharing is the right thing to do… hope it helps! 🍀

The shiny duct tape looking stuff is vinyl no-stick/non-adhesive tape because I am not putting duct tape on my fucking skin. Basically the tape only sticks to itself
