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 :)

I added a bunch of 3D printed shoes to my Ko-Fi shop!

Everything added fits Rainbow High and Shadow High and the flexible shoes also fit G3 Monster High.

I tried to cover some styles not produced much by official means. Some are mods (both pairs of boots), some are my own original designs (like the bow pumps, platform clogs, and heeled sneakers), and one style are from a file I purchased (the squared platform heels).

If there is interest in these I want to add more styles and color options. I'm hoping to work on shoes to fit G3 Abbey next since she is the only G3 doll with larger feet (so far).

Anyways, please check them out if you are interested! If there is interest in the shoe display shelf, I can add a listing for it as well.

Pastel Stuff "Dump" - Objects for Sims 2

Here a bunch of items I converted in these days for a commission (I had the permission to share). Most of the objects are from Sims41ife. Retro Prints are from BarbaraSims, star lightings and rugs are from luuca001, the lilac sofa is from Mechtasims. I lowered the poly of all the items, now they are low to medium. All recolors are included and the toy box is functional (for children toys).

Do you have a 3d printer and a love of toys and action figures?

Shapeways is shutting down. I need to move my library of material to cults, but I need test prints and pics to do that effectively.

I need one (or probably several) people with 3d printers who would like to get free access to the files I'm planning to sell in exchange for test printing and photographing the results.

A variety of my sculpts are shown here to give an idea of what you'd be working with, as well as some of my results for when I had an old ABS printer.

I've been doing this literally for a decade or more, so there's a lot of options.

And it would help me keep this stuff in circulation so I can keep fed and fun can be had by all.

Thanks!
