Jazzy Dev1l's Art

Jan. 2022 : if you've been to the Harry Potter exhibition at the Franklin institute, you have most likely come across a few of projects that I actually got to work on. 😀

The fabrication company that I work for, was hired to do some of the pieces for that exhibit. I got to do a lot of the detail work on the giant Wands that were on display. The Wands were first sculpted by a special machine, and then given a protective coating. I used a "peanut butter"-like epoxy to give some of the wands a light wood texturing, followed by a light sanding when the epoxy was dry.

December 2021 - I made my mom this light up sunflower for christmas. The sunflower was cut from acrylic, heated on a vacuum form machine, and shaped by hand by me. The center of the sunflower was cast from a mold and is made of plastic. I made the base out of wood scraps, and added leaves LED lights to it.

Painting and other details also done by me.

December 2021 - I made this Krampus Skull Wreath for the Holidays. My Mom bought me a Ron Swanson Christmas ornament, so I needed something badass to display it on. I love the wreath so much, I had it hanging until mid March.

Poison Ivy and Rhonda 2

Model: Kitty Catastrophe

[jazzydevilart]

Rhonda 2 is my first attempt at a large prop.

Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors and Poison Ivy from the Batman comics are both 2 of my favorite fictional characters. Poison Ivy has had/created her own plant monsters, and I enjoy fan-art that pairs Audrey and Ivy together. I’ve always wanted an excuse to make my own Audrey2-esque plant monster, so I collaborated with a friend who had a couple of Poison Ivy costumes.

Rhonda 2 (Rhonda 1 is my car) took about 2 weeks to make and is made from craft foam and foam mats. Rhonda’s vines are made from foam pool noodles with wiring inside , so that the vines can be posed.

Rhonda is still a work in progress, BUT I’m still so happy with how he came out. combined with he set dressing, he photographed really well. I’m going to be adding more detail to him over the summer, and using a dremel to sharpen his teeth.

Saint of the East. Model: Remy

Remy’s Saint outfit was designed to to incorporate her Japanese heritage. Red is powerful color in Japanese culture, so I chose it for the dress. I then gave it a white contrast sash, because that is the dominant color of Japans flag.

Remy’s saint halo is made from foam and a deconstructed chinese fan. The halo was then painted gold and decorated with gold fabric petals and deconstructed Japanese costume jewelry.

Saint Rita. Model: RIta.

Rita’s angel headpiece was made from craft foam and de-constructed Christmas ornaments. After it was painted gold, I decorated it with swarovski gems, doves, and gold craft flower petals. 

Her outfit is made form pink charmuese satin, accented with a sheer appliqué fabric. The style of the top is a cowl-neck halter and the bottom is a simple side-wrap.

GLO Angel. Model: NatsumeCosplay

The sheer angel wings I made are being backlit by the neon art, while Natsume is lit from the from with a powerful black-light. I also made her halo, which was painted white, and then splattered with various UV-reactive, colorful paints.

In 2020, I was inspired by the work of another photographer and model, and REALLY wanted to do a Saints/Angel photo shoot. I normally shoot pinup and dark, creative themes, so I REALLY wanted to do something softer and more ethereal.

I designed and sewed 3 different, angel looks, and worked with satin, lace and appliqués. I created 4 different halos; each had a unique look and theme.  Using a ready-made, articulating base, I designed and sewed a set of sheer angel wings.  Since each look is so unique, I’ll elaborate on them individually in the next posts.

Sexy Skeletor and She-Ra's outfit (except for the underwear) were made by me.

Skeletor: armor pieces made from foam, skull mask made from worbla, and seen boot covers.

She-Ra: Headpiece, gauntlets, purple collar designed by me and were made out of worbla. Her top is a white corset that was modified by me, using Gold faux leather.

This project was for a Geeky, themed Calendar and was a lot of fun to put together.

Models: Britney Siren and Melodie Gore.

Progress shots of my sexy Skeleton build!

The armor was the easiest and made from craft foam.

To make the skull, I had to create a base out of scrap fabric, foam, and a halloween mask. I then molded worbla around it to get the shape, but did it in two pieces. While the worbla pieces were still malleable, I poked holes along the sides of the jaw and skull, so I could sew it onto a fabric base later.

She-Ra headpiece made with foam and molded warble, using a pattern that I hand-drafted.

This headpiece was Pt. 1 of a fun, silly project....

Completed Akasha, Golden Bath Costume, modeled by Britney Siren.

[jazzydevilart]

This second Akasha build is inspired by the scene in the movie where she is in the hot tub with Lestat. The scene is only a couple of minutes, but the set was so beautiful and the scene was so memorable, that I was determined to do it. 

The bra cups were, again, molded from worbla, and then attached to a functioning bra. The straps and added jewelry details were a mix of my original design and what I could see from the movie version.

Finding reference images for her gold bra/armor was VERY difficult; I was basing off of one decent quality screenshot. The skirt was my original design. I hand-sewed on all off the petals at the bottom, so that we could safely put the skirt in water if we wanted.

In 2016 I started cosplaying as Mystery, and ended up meeting a lot of cosplayers that liked to dress up as the various Spider-Verse/Spiderman characters. 

I designed this web shooter prop, for taking, fun action/attack photos. I also designed to to attach to my camera lens, so it would look like they were shooting actual webbing at me. 

It’s one of my favorite props to bring to Comic Conventions.

This is the completed Akasha costume, modeled by Britney Siren for the website CosplayDeviants.com.

Akasha [Queen of the Damned] is the FIRST major costume build I’ve ever done. It was very much a passion project that my best friend, Bri, was the model for. We were both big fans of Akasha and wanted to bring her to life, so she supplied the money for most of the materials, while I researched and then built the costume.

The patterns for the crown, gauntlets, bra cups, sleeves, and belt were all drafted and made by me. They were done primarily out of foam and wobla.

Her necklace was also made by me. The large pendants I made myself out of clay, baked, and painted them.

It took about 3 months to finish the entire costume.
