Day 17: Tackled A New Material⁠ ⁠ The first thing I ever made out of thermoplastic was the automail arm for Laura's Edward Elric costume. This was back when Wonderflex was the new hotness, but it had mesh texture on both sides, and you had to coat it in layers of wood glue or gesso and then sand it forever... 😂 Maybe around 2005 or so?⁠ ⁠ Anyway, it had a really easy learning curve and I was hooked! Now I make a ton of stuff out of a variety of thermoplastics.⁠ ⁠ #shepropchallenge #30daychallenge #cosplay #thermoplastic #wonderflex #fullmetalalchemist #edwardelric https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPvUMajQz4/?igshid=1ufnxiofkj4zz

Auriel made and worn by me, Frekki Cosplay! The armor is almost entirely made of EVA Foam. The wings are long strips of organza. It won best in show at Long Beach Comic Con! Questions? Feel free to drop me a message!

I am thinking very hard about how to make this for my early Halloween costume. I’ve got the wonderflex, which is what she says it is made out of. And I already have a heat gun. What I mostly need to figure out is how to shape it both well and without burning my face off when my artistic skill is fairly low.

I’m leaning toward getting a bunch of Floracraft bricks and trying to carve them into the right shape, then just kinda draping the wonderflex over it. My other thought is to get a big pack of the really narrow foam sheets and cut out the right shapes and just paste them together. I don’t think I love either method. I might get the cheap foam wig head too to melt the plastic in an ok face grip to start. 

I am determined that I am going as fancy Friki, my favorite male harpy, this year. The trouble is that I am down to about two weeks to get it ready for the party.

#tbt to atomic wonder woman! to date, this is still one of my all time fave cosplays! It was one of my first "showpiece" costumes and was so fun to make and wear! I also got to represent the game as an official cosplayer at PAX East & NYCC which was such an incredible experience! atomic ww designed by @gorrem (he's so talented, go check out all his work!) from #infinitecrisis 📷: @jdparadiso #throwbackthursday #dccomics #wonderwoman #wonderwomancosplay #atomicwonderwoman #cosplay #womenofcosplay #videogame #videogamecosplay #wbgames #turbine #cosplayers #wonderflex #worbla

Mask for Mr Tumnus! Not painted, and ears and horns aren't primed either, but I'm pleased with it! (And it fits the student I built it for better than it fits me, as well!) Wonderflex base, coated with full bodied acrylic medium.
