AND IT'S DOOOOONE!!! A weekend of sewing later and the skirt and cloak are both done! This cloak is the biggest thing I've patterned myself, and it hangs and flows beautifully for something I first drew on the back of a post it note. #cosplay #hippolyta #hippolytacosplay #queenhippolyta #queenhippolytacosplay #dccosplay #wonderwomanmovie #sewing #patterning (at San Diego, California)

So I finally styled my #Hippolyta wig last night for #lbcc , but now I might do something else tomorrow because of the heat and humidity. Being mostly covered in armor while wearing a dramatic blanket is gonna be miserable in this weather, and looking fabulous is only worth so much. #cosplay #queenhippolytacosplay #lbcc2017 #longbeachcomiccon (at San Diego, California)

It's finally done! I finally finished sealing the paint and added touches of gold paint back where the Mod Podge had made it too dark, then reattached the hardware and my shield is finally finished! It's really been a learning experience making this, and there are places where I rushed and didn't line things up perfectly, but I'm super proud of how the finished product turned out! #cosplay #Hippolyta #queenhippolytacosplay #queenhippolyta #wonderwoman #wonderwomancosplay #amazoncosplay #dccosplay #dccu #foamarmor #foamarmorbuild #evafoam #evafoamarmor #amazonsofthemyscira #amazonqueen (at San Diego, California)

I'm busy wrapping up old projects and planning a few new ones, as well as just working on life stuff, so in the meantime have these amazing pics of Hippolyta @thejungkim took at ALA! I loved wearing her, but until I can work out how to not overheat in it, the full thing is gonna have to be for shoots only (armor patterns by @downen_creative_studios )#hippolyta #hippolytacosplay #cosplay #queenhippolyta #queenhippolytacosplay #wonderwomancosplay #amazoncosplay #dccosplay (at San Diego, California)

Taking a few days off of costume prep to finish another project, but here's a quick pallet I used for the greaves. The pics for the different colors of #rubnbuff online don't really match up with how they go on, so it took a little experimentation at first. For the brown sections here, and on the pauldrons and vambraces, I used a brown metallic paint, but here I put it over the brown polish. The paint is a darker color but super thin, and the metallic polish creates a more opaque layer underneath. #cosplay #hippolyta #greaves #foamarmor #painting #cosplayprep #dccosplay #queenhippolyta #queenhippolytacosplay #metallic (at San Diego, California)

I was up way too late last night gluing these together, but that's all the fiddly little details done and my greaves are almost ready for assembly! #cosplay #cosplayprep #hippolyta #queenhippolyta #foamarmor #wonderwomancosplay #queenhippolytacosplay #evafoam #dccosplay (at San Diego, California)
