The visor and light came before the eyelight band

I had to redo the hat because the light band is apearantly attached to N's head and not his hat

Over all I enjoyed this project, it was fun

Process post since this part of the project is over

Started off with a paper mache base and vague measurements of N's head to the human skulls in the different episodes.

Drew in a general area of where the visor is. Folded in the bottom part of the head to curve it

Paper mache'd the empty spaces and made a the hat out of a yoga mat. Added green foam to define where the visor would go. The pink pen I used for this was a bic crystal and later bled through all the acrylic paint I added

Draw and labeled each strand of hair on the goober's head. I'm not joking when I say I have stared at the back this guys had tracing out where each individual strand of hair begins and ends

Redid every paper hair piece in yoga mat sandwich of mat/paper/mat and glued them on

Started painting the bits of hair with spray paint but it didn't work, so I repainted all of it with acrylic paint. Added black foam as the visor, at this point of the build I was debating the lights and plastic visors and whether or not I'd like to see though it or not

Painted the hat black and added the yellow eyelight band made out of extra large googly eyes to add the slight curve. Out of all the paints that worked, spray paint (different brand to the one used on the hair)was the best option. It gave an even coat of yellow that made light shine through it look good. Ultimately I did not add lights to the band tho

Selling my son for 150€ (not click bait)

Reblogging to spread this is very much appreciated but you don't have to

Claws and tail included + the cone arms if you want, but you don't have to take them if you don't want them

Price is 150€ ideally because I would like my money back on materials but we can negotiate

Dm me if your interested :)

Pay by revolute or cash depending on location

You can't see out of the head

sadly if you're across an ocean or sea or live on the moon you will have to pay for the shipping costs too. If we live in the same country it'd be easier to sell.

I'm wrapping things up around here :)

The "how-to" post is already up so this'll just be a picture post since I forgot to do that

[themsthenow]

Damn project still going

[themsthenow]

Heres a quick turorial on how i make the snarl mask. If anyone needs a better explanation i can make another video, but for now i hope this helps.

[themsthenow]

I realise I didn't actually post any photos with this

Cone arms

[themsthenow]

Cone arms

[themsthenow]

Tessa's ribcage and humerus(arm bone) after the solver/cyn melts away. I really do think she got teleported into, plus the fact that the solver/cyn lost because of teleporting into Uzi's hand and it essentially clipping through their body

Solver-possed cyn straight up just teleported into Tessa because there is no way that cyn was able to put her on like a coat while her skeleton was still in there too along with her organs and stuff

The drone arms are already bursting through the skin and the hands are bigger than them.

It would also explain the head shape since the rest of the humans in the show are anatomically accurate where as, you can see where the drone's visor connects to the mouth part underneath the skin

Also a small side thing

What would have happend if this lil creature got the patch. With absolutely no evidence to support this just imagine patched flesha being Tessa's consciousness trapped in what used to be her own body. But tbh it'd probably be pre-solver-possession cyn. But I'm here on the "man, I wish Tessa wasn't dead this entire time lol" wagon.

DUDE DUDE DUDE I AM OBSESSED WITH THE STUFF YOU MADE OMFG. the wings and the claws im!!!! im feral rn. holy shit

do you have any advice on where to get started if someone were wanting to make something like that of their own? or just generally propmaking for cosplay stuff, god knows i need to find a way to make wings of Some Form to appease the hyperfixation lol

love this stuff it's so cool holy hell

Wow, hey thank you for the nice words :).

In terms of advice, I'd say just be prepared for random stuff to go wrong.

DOWN SCALE.

Unless you have the wide open space required to house an extra entity, I'd say down scale it and make the wing span smaller, because I literally cannot put these anywhere lol. Me and my friends were measuring them by an estimated version of Tessa's height, assuming she was an adult Australian (160cm) and not a dead child wearing robot. The original wing span ended up being almost three and a half Tessas. Down scaling is definitely recommended.

Then going on to material, I'm going to be honest, I don't really know what any good substitutes for what I've been using. The best thing I can think of would be like cutting up one of those big umbrellas you see in like outdoor seating areas because they are built to be sturdy and light enough to to transport places. The blade part of the wings were made out of cheapo yoga mats, they are not Eva foam(idk if Eva foam is more expensive, but cheapo worked for me), they are some kind of material similar to insulation sheets just slightly thicker, I have the cutting patterns on the blog (the mats are 140x50x1cm) . Springs are something similar to "helical extension springs"(they pull things together, like trampoline springs) the strength of these will vary depending on how and if you downscale the over all project.

The general wing mechanism had to be redone a little bit but the new design is just based off an umbrella. It's good to use when you fold it in that the sections form a square in between the joints as a reference because it makes it easier to translate to the wings when drilling holes. The grey moving bar is on the outside now👇

I'll be reall, this part👆 needs a bit of precision. The two holes at the bottom have to be the exact same distance and stuff as each other so the mechanism works. You could probably find a way to optimise the mechanism but I did not (this was just easier for me at least)

The way all the blade parts go up is kinda cheesing it if you want all individual parts to work perfectly without extra materials. I was tying a string together on the bars and it worked to space the wings as I wanted to.

All in all, I'm going to be making a big ol summary post detailing all the stuff whenever I'm done fully.

Until then, I hope this helps, good luck to you and don't be afraid to make mistakes :).

(it's only a mistake if you give up)

Prop making and cosplay in general are things I probably can't comment on because I have never done cosplay and most of the prop things, I make are made out of random trash I can find that would cost dumb money if you went out to buy it new.

These for example are gutter or house liner plastic that was left over from a building site (gloves were uber cheap) and they were tedious and smelly to cut out and melt over an open flame, but if you want to do this too wear a mask for saftey unless you don't care about your lungs (which you should)

The claws were a lot easier to make. Easy enough that I made two sets (I think I went through the process of making these already)

Update because the series is over and the spiders are gone

They spring out now :D

Still working on a mechanism for retracting them

[themsthenow]

The main moon keeps getting closer

Theory before tomorrow: it's being sucked into copper-9's gravitational pull because of a black hole at the planets collapsed core

[themsthenow]

Wings update: there's spiders In them now.

:')

I don't live in Australia but these little [term expressing disdain] are big by my country's standards. My level of arachnophobia is already pathetic so I can't really touch the project until they leave my house or this world.

Who's dying (again)

[themsthenow]

Is this V???

Guys

Must have been a lot of trauma
