Boot Basics Tutorial

Recently, I wrapped up work on my boots for a cosplay (Lillet from Grim Grimoire) and I got a few questions about how I made them, after posting photos of the first of the pair. So, while making the second, I took pictures and notes along the way.

Seraphim details!  This costume was absolutely murder and easily the most complex I’ve made because of all of the varying parts.  Detailing the worbla armor with vinyl was extremely fun - most of the raised portions are sculpted from black worbla, with all of the little bits made from cut vinyl underneath the paint layer.  Honestly the most tedious part was making the open hoop skirt, which I super do not recommend design-wise in general.

All in all, I think last nights work resulted in a significant upgrade to our Zombie Costume!

HEY COSPLAYERS AND SIMILAR!

I’M SORRY FOR YELLING, BUT CHECK THIS OUT

IT’S A BIG-ASS LIST OF PATTERNS FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF ARMOR RIGHT BEHIND THIS FRIENDLY AND CLICKABLE LINK.

It’s not completely comprehensive, and they’re all made with actual metal in mind, but I’m pretty sure they’d work just as well with thermoplastics or foam if that’s what you’re working with.

I was looking for references and tripped over it, so I figured I’d share.

other people have probably shared it too but OH WELL

@andsewingishalfthebattle you have a much bigger follower base than I do

Thibra!!! First impressions! Adding this tutorial to my 100% free Patreon, I still have so many left to add T_T I got my new thermoplastic, Thibra, from Arda and I have to say I love this stuff SO much. It does everything I wanted to do with Worbla, but much easier, and with a smoother result. I will still use Worbla at times, but this is definitely going to be my new standby! This was a test I did using a small sample armor piece, I wanted to test it on something really curvy since that’s where Worbla always gave me the most trouble!

👉 I cut a big enough piece to cover the foam and wrap around the edges, and warmed it (not too hot!) with the heat gun. This stuff is a little sticky when heated a lot, so I recommend just warming it. 👉 I laid it right over the foam, and it instantly began hugging the curves all by itself. I had to gently work out one or two folds in it, but it didn’t fight me at all! 👉 I trimmed around the edge all of the access, heated the edges from the under side, and wrapped them around the armor. 👉 After warming the top just a little again so it was a little more malleable, I used my fingers & the tips of scissors (clay tools also help a ton) to work it around each foam shape and into all of the edges. 👉 Let cool! It’s super light weight! It has a little more flex to it than Worbla which you may or may not want depending on the project, but I love this. I’m honestly not sure if I even had it right-side up. I am going to experiment, the side I used was a little tacky, I’ll try it both ways. Either way, It worked out REALLY well. I have a big cosplay picked out with a DragonCon goal date, but I’m not starting it until I finish a last minute one I’m doing in the next month as a project with a friend. And I plan on using Thibra for SOOOOOO much of it!!! I can’t wait! 😸 FaceBook Instagram 100% free patreon
