FOR ANY COSPLAYER TIRED OF CRACKS IN THEIR ITEMS OR NOT SMOOTH PROPS

DO YOU SEE THIS STUFF?! IT’S CALLED DECOART DIMENSIONAL EFFECTS. IT’S 6 BUCKS AT HOBBYLOBBY AND 8 BUCKS ON AMAZON FOR FOUR OUNCES AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS SHIT WORKS.

HERE’S THE PROOF:

THIS IS THE BACK OF MY SUGALITE GEM I WAS MAKING OUT OF MODEL MAGIC AND IT BROKE REALLY BADLY IN THE BACK BUT I DIDN’T FREAK CAUSE I’VE GOT THIS GREAT STUFF

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SCOOP UP THE PASTE IN THE LITTLE BOTTLE AND SPREAD IT WITH YOUR FINGER OVER THE AREAS YOU NEED TO SMOOTH OR FIX AND YOU’RE GOOD TO GO. 

THIS IS AFTER ONE COAT AND IT ALREADY LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER AND IT TOOK ROUGHLY 30-45 MINUETS TO DRY BUT IF YOU CLUMP IT UP MORE FOR BIGGER ITEMS IT VARIES.

SECOND COAT

BAM SMOOTH AS CAN BE AND PAINTABLE. EVERY COSPLAYER SHOULD OWN SOME OF THIS IT’S REALLY GREAT AND TOTALLY LIGHT WEIGHT AND PERFECTION FOR THINGS TO HORNS FOR HOMESTUCK BECAUSE THIS IS MODEL MAGIC TO LARGE LARGE PROPS THAT WON’T FREAKING BE SMOOTH.

SO GET THIS STUFF SERIOUSLY!!!!!

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!

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;

Making the burgundy dress.

Design, patterns and sewing made by me. The dress is renaissance inspired, with some personal modifications. The whole dress was hand sewn, including the hems. More pictures of it and a tutorial can be found on my blog.

I can’t even begin to express how beautiful this is

So I came up with this great idea for a fake beard using fiber mascara and I realized there were no tutorials out there for this already. So I made one myself. It works really well and is very realistic!!

here are some links to some fiber mascaras as well as the type I used (I’m sure you guys can find one at a cheaper price though)

here is the absolute best crossplay makeup tutorial I highly recommend it

I’m so sorry for my handwriting I did my best I swear

I’ve been inactive here since before the Tumblr Purge, but I’m still active in cosplay on Instagram (@thewalkingmikcosplay), so be sure to follow me there! I recently got a Junkrat photoshoot and was featured in a cosplay YouTube series! Check out links to everything in linktree here

Did you see me at Panic! At the Disco at TD Garden in Boston 7/25? The concert was AMAZING he sounds so good live! If he wasn’t making the funny voices like he does I would’ve thought he was lip syncing it was absolutely incredible.

Cosplay is……hard

[twmikcosplay]

YO! Junkrat?! Yes! You can do it! If you need help or suggestions don’t be afraid to ask!

Hello and welcome to the Genericon post you’ve all been waiting for!! This might have to be split up between two posts simply because of all the happenings, we’ll find out.

This year’s convention was full of many emotions. Happy, sad, angry, a rainbow of emotions one feels at these events. I met with old friends, and even made a few new friends. In my last post (well, piggyback on a post), you saw that on Sunday, the final day of the convention, was just that, a rainbow of emotions. However this covers the first day of the convention.

After the four of us girls waking up at 6am to get dressed and ready, we left for the convention at 10:30am. Arriving at 10:47, we sat in line for a whole hour, receiving our badges at 11:47. After waiting in the frigid cold for an hour, we were overjoyed to finally be in the place we called home, Genericon. The one thing we look forward to every March. It was uniform to us, and the day we don’t go to Genericon, just may as well be the day we’re dying of the plague (but even then, we’d still try and show our faces to the place we began our cosplay journey.) Whenever times get tough and we fall into the dumps, we close our eyes and think of the joy our senpais (先輩, or upperclassman, senior employee or other older person) and kohais (後輩 the junior or lower person) will bring us. We just count down the days to that first weekend in March that we travel to religiously and lovingly.

This convention is something my friends and I hold dear to us all, and is really honestly the one time I get to meet up with my friends from “faraway lands” as I say. It’s always refreshing to meet up with your friends you haven’t seen in a full year, and visit artists’ tables that you haven’t seen since the last convention. Even friends from school attended, and it’s really the only time we have to hang out with our busy schedules. Friends who graduated, friends I don’t get to see in the mornings, friends I don’t have classes with, and friends I only get to see at the convention.

Day two started with a panel “Ouran Host Club Commoner Day” where Shaylee got to participate in one of their “commoner games” of Red Light Green Light. We then visited my favorite artist (and that was already covered in a different post), and then I ran into a couple friends from Sage, too!! It was pretty cool seeing them there. I took so many pictures (more than Tumblr will let me post at once😓). We visited mainly wandered around until 2:00 when the final and main event happened: The Cosplay Deathmatch! “The thrill of battle; the sting of defeat; the heady taste of victory. In this event, two characters enter the ring, but only one will leave it alive. Your cheers will propel your favored champion to victory, and consign the loser to an agonizing defeat. Once a winner is declared by you, the audience, they will be given the strength to defeat their foe to sate your thirst for violence.”

My friend Christina actually won this year as Moira from Overwatch, and funny thing is, they won a year or so ago as Christopher Robin! (I can’t find my picture of that though)

Overall, it was an eventful convention and I wish to be able to go every single year, and I’m already planning my cosplay lineup for next year! Thanks Genericon 2018!

[twmikcosplay]

Actually, Christina was Wheatley from Portal 2 and Lost to Christopher Robin... she got 2nd place. The next year she got second place as Mettaton. She’s been 2nd for way too long I’m glad she finally won I’m so proud @mundeez
