Anime North prep! I'm redoing the cape for my Abyss Watcher! PAX East last March was so windy and so absurdly cold that the weather literally blew most of the paint off my cape! Not even joking. Apparently puff paint gets brittle at low temperatures, and I did most of the shading with character powder (fake dirt), which has decent adhesion usually, except when it's ridiculously windy XD
Anyway, here's what it looks like now. Approximately what it looked like before it got wrecked by mean old Mr. Winter. But this time, I used more paint in addition to the fake dirt so hopefully there will be less fixing next time. It also smells like hippies because I randomly threw in some incense ash because it's free and the right color.
