The Pest

Not the best - but trying my best :)

[pestyparadox]

I recently sorted my Mystery Skulls Animated 'shrine' and thought I would share it 😂

Bits and pieces I've collected over the years!

Custom-made trinket dishes, necklaces, and commissons. And even tickets and a print signed by Luis Dubuc himself! 🥰

The perler bead Shiromori is huge, around A4 paper size 🌱

It makes me smile when I see all these beautiful items I've collected over the years of my favourite musician and artists.

Feeling like a ghost~

So my boyfriend @lugaroo decided to draw a female Lewis because there aren't enough of those haha. Bottom one is drawn and inked traditionally and the top two are finished of digitally with outline alterations :)

Thanks sweetie 💛

I don’t know if anyone else has posted this but I find the logo at the end of Hellbent quite interesting. Maybe hints for the next video?

Each section has each of the characters colour.

I think the left part which is red and has blood means maybe Mystery gets hurt?

The bottom shows blue and two tails. Mystery had 9 tails in Hellbent but 7 in Ghost. Maybe it will show how he lost the two tails? Maybe Vivi’s ancestor did it?

The right shows purple for Lewis but I cant figure much out about that part apart from his eye in the ‘R’…

And of course the top is orange for Arthur. The star is him falling onto the spikes of the cave below.

If you have any speculations yourself as to what this means I would love to hear :)

Thank you :) How was it you got the initial shape of the head and made it come out 3D? Sorry if my wording is weird like I said not cosplayed much xD

Not at all, I know what you mean!  Here are some links to posts I made during the process of creating the head:

http://squigglydigglydoo.tumblr.com/post/158215618882

http://squigglydigglydoo.tumblr.com/post/158255568112

In these posts, you can see the interior structure of the mask, before I cut out the mouth through which I see.  I started with a cheap bike helmet, stripped of its plastic coating and reduced to just styrofoam.  On top of that, I placed a chunk of upholstery foam (henceforth just referred to as “foam”) to heighten the mask, and then I made a foam ring to fit around my neck that I could still slide over my head.

After that, as you can see in the first post, I made four strips of foam, each extending from the ring to the top of the foam chunk on the helmet.  One strip in front, one in back, one on each side… but before attaching the ones on the sides, I created two quarter-circle-shaped hooks of foam that I attached to one another at the top of the foam chunk on the helmet.  These gave the outline of the horns from the front.  The strips on the sides were then attached to these hooks at the very tops.

The lengths of these strips were adjusted throughout the process to achieve the silhouettes I wanted both from the front and from the side.

After the very basic framework was created, I began to fill in the areas between them with more foam, starting from the horns.  This was just a lot of eyeballing it, and as I added foam so as well did I shave bits of it away so that I got a nice smooth shape for each horn, tapering to the tip and widening out towards the base.  When it looked right, I continued the process around the rest of the mask, as you can see in the second link.

You might also notice that I did not fill in EVERY hole in the mask, especially in the back, as while wearing this costume I’m likely to become very hot.  Having holes in the foam allows more heat to escape, even if those holes are still covered in fabric.  So I did the minimum needed to maintain the shape, while leaving slits and holes in the foam for venting.

Finally, it was time to cover the thing in fabric.  I chose black and white minky, as it’s very soft and plush but not quite furry – Bendy isn’t a cat or anything, after all.  Before cutting the fabric out, I covered half of the entire foam head (split down the middle for symmetry) in tin foil and then again in duct tape, keeping it as tight to the shape as possible.  This was going to be the pattern – I drew where I’d need to cut the pattern so that it’d lay flat directly onto the tape, then cut it off and transferred the shape to the fabric, expanding the shape by ½ inch all the way around (allowing for seams).  I wound up with two pieces of black: one for the back, one for the front.  One piece was needed in white for the front.

Before putting these onto the mask, I cut out the mouth shape, estimating where it would need to go so that I would be able to see out of it.  Once it was in a place and shape I liked, I then attached the fabric: starting with the back, then the white face, then the black front.  I used spray glue to put them on, then VERY CAREFULLY made my seams with hot glue, turning the edges of the fabric inwards where they overlapped.  The remaining fabric near the hole at the bottom of the head was tucked in and secured with more hot glue.  (Seriously, be VERY CAREFUL with this.  You might need somebody to help you hold things in place as you glue them.  DON’T BURN THEIR POOR FINGERS.)

Once all the minky was attached, I created the teeth shape out of white chicken wire (taken from a mesh dome used to cover food to protect it from bugs; I got mine from a Dollarama) and put hot glue all around the edges so that they wouldn’t be so sharp and dangerous.  I then covered the teeth in the fabric from a pair of opaque white tights, stretched thin so that I could see through them when they were close to my face.  (Note: I can still only barely see through them, and I need a LOT of light to do so.  I’m sacrificing quite a bit of visibility for this costume, so bear that in mind.)

I very carefully hot glued the teeth into the face, where I’d cut the hole in the same shape into the foam earlier.  After they were solidly in place (it took a few tries), I VERY CAREFULLY  (so as not to get paint on the minky) painted the black lines onto the teeth.

After that came the eyes.  Since I’m not seeing through them, they could just be attachments.  I created the shape out of the plastic from the side of a thoroughly washed milk jug, then covered those pieces on one side (tucking the edges around the back side) with the black minky fabric, using the WRONG side of the fabric to be the outside this time.  I didn’t want fuzzy eyes – I wanted smooth eyes.  Once the eyes were covered in fabric, I gently dragged a razor over them to remove bits of fuzz, then I sprayed them with clear paint sealant to make sure they stayed smooth.  After this, I attached them to the face.

That about covers it!

ATTENTION COSPLAYERS:

I would like to make the paint brand “Angelus” known. It is a special paint that is for leather, faux leather, rubber, and similar surfaces.

This is literally the best paint you can buy if you love a pair of shoes, but they aren’t in the right color for your character.

This stuff coats VERY well AND the coats of paint bend with your shoes. This means no cracking!!

In the photos above I took black rain boots and painted them with Angelus Turquoise. As you can see, they don’t look black any more! It’s so good!

I managed to paint two boots with a little one ounce bottle of the paint, and I still have a third of the bottle left over!

The paint dries very fast, so you can put layer on top of layer on top of layer without it streaking.

You can get the paint on Amazon and it comes in every color!

I just really wanted to make this known!! :D This stuff is amazing!

[coelasquid]

Don’t buy Angelus pain’t on Amazon, it’s like $6.99 an ounce. Buy it direct from their online store the poster above linked, the single ounce bottles are $2.95 there. Also, a little goes a long way, unless you have something HUGE to paint, you can probably do it with a small bottle. I barely dented the one I got doing all the black on this;

I made my first real tutorial! This tutorial should hopefully help anyone that wants to wear something on their head without a headband or strap showing! This method also allows you to quickly remove the piece from your body, so it’s great if you want to keep on a wig or small headdress base but still have the option to remove an extra piece (like if you need to sit in a car!), or if you just want to avoid permanently attaching an accessory to a wig or use the same accessory with different wigs (think: animal ears!). Neodymium (aka Rare Earth) Magnets are my favorite because they can be really small, but they provide a super strong and secure connection, perfect for attaching accessories or armor to your body or another costume piece. For my Luluco head siren, I sandwiched 3 of these magnets in between layers of worbla and a basic headband. I found that a 2 part epoxy made for plastic (I used Loctite) was perfect for my magnets and plastic light, but always do a little research and a test to make sure you use the right glue for your project! NOTES ABOUT MEUDYMIUM MAGNETS!! DO NOT use a hot glue gun with these magnets!! Direct contact with high temperatures can demagnetize them! Yes, I also used a heat gun to do this, but mine came out fine. Just be careful and don’t let the worbla heat up too much. This page (https://www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=sticky-business-how-to-glue-neodymum-magnets) has a lot of helpful information about these magnets. OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES! Use sandpaper to scratch up the surface of both the magnets and the surface you’re attaching them to, especially for smooth materials like plastics. The cuts in the surface help the items to adhere better. If you have a battery compartment, make sure you position your glue/magnets so that this is still accessible! I also glued a piece of felt to the bottom of my worbla piece for a little extra comfort. Feel free to share, but please credit me or provide a direct link. <3 If there are any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! Happy crafting! Check out more on Facebook @Mahou Meggles Cosplay
