This costume was a PAIN IN THE ASS. It's given that trying to finish two costumes in 4 days is gonna be a killer no matter what, but still, uuuugh. First I attempted to chop apart the wig and spike it, which I decided to unspike for NYAF (shoulda left alone, uuugh.), then we had to throw together pleather-y looking pants as fast as possible (which were later replaced by regular leather pants that were a bit to big, uuugh.), and then we had to attampt to make the shittiest looking boot covers ever because I couldn't find a pair of white boots in time (which were later replaced with better boot covers but boots that fell apart, UGH.). And the vest top thing? Many stories surround that, most of which are just too "uuuugh" to share. -_- So yeah. STRESS EMBODIES THIS COSTUME.
Also, walking around in 90 degree heat wearing a knit long sleeved shirt, gloves, and two different kinds of vinyl is not nice (or dry, eeew). Nope. I need more summer cosplays, dammit.
I was also going to have the COOLEST PROP EEEVER, but I never got around to making it. D: If I ever get a new wig and do revamp #2 for this, maybe I'll make it. I wanna make it! It just may be a bit problematic in heels. XD HINTHINT!
Breakdown: Wig from ebay, pants v.1 made, v.2 bought, shoes bought, boot covers made (vinyl!), vest thing made (lightweight vinyl!), goggles from ebay, gloves/scarf had.
- Random Question number one: Why am I always so negative with my cosplays? D:
- Random question number two: Why does it take me almost an entire year to upload a costume? XD
