Description My helmet for Sky High so far.

I'm hoping to have him finished by Sakura-con 2012 for the T&B photoshoot~!

So far it's made out of hot glue and cardboard. I'm waiting on wiring for the LED's before I finish the detailing, and I'm waiting for money before I can start on the jetpack... >.>; So I can buy more hot glue.

Since it's at a stage I can still change things, I would definitely appreciate any constructive critiques you can give me! It's my first time doing something like this.

xD Actually finished that version, but planning on reworking it so I don't end up doing a rush job on the finish again, not to mention it needs LED's.

Thank you~!

This is absolutely amazing! Definitely keep posting WIP pictures and the final : ) !

Also, somebody below me mentioned breathing, but what about seeing? Haha! I know some cosplayers who used many layers of mesh over small eye holes... Also some who hid holes in the design for seeing! So I'm curious how and if you'll do this ~

Thank you! I'll try my best.

For seeing, I was thinking that I might end up carrying the helmet around a lot, since unless I remake it I won't be able to add in what I was originally planning, a tinted gray section that I could see through. At least for this one, I decided to just be blind... >.>; Not very smart, but I didn't think about layers of mesh! It gives me an excuse to buy a wig for Keith. ^^

Of course! I'm just excited seeing this kind of thing in progress as I've never done it myself X'D I mostly just.. paint ¬3¬;

Well that works! I always like seeing people's faces when I take photos of people anyway I think most are like that, so this way you get that + to show your awesome helmet! Plus, you can always pop out and be all "surprise and again, surprise! \o/~~"

Haha, I never thought about layers of mesh for cosplaying either! Not until a friend told me about it-- it's pretty cool~

I hope you post pictures of your entire cosplay (when you finish) sometime~ I'm excited ~

I have to do that now! "Surprise and again, Surprise!" xD

The deadline for this is Sakura-con 2012, but hopefully I'll have everything finished before then. I'm starting to want to make all the heroes outfits, especially for those who might not get as much love, like Rock Bison. But! I need to finish this first, and I'll definitely post pictures when I'm finished, and probably as I go to.

Ahaha, for the face though, I agree, though I always think the full armor costumes are super cool!

Thanks, and again, Thanks for the support! It means a lot to me!

HA!! It would be so cute ;3; ~

Sweet! I totally understand that though, it happens X'D Start one thing, want to do it all!
Awesome, I can't wait to see it all~

Oh, definitely! It's super badass to wear a full suit of armor and just walk around a convention~

Of course! <3

xD I also want to ride an escalator and pretend I'm flying... but yeah. >.>; This costume will probably lead to being very goofy.

x'D Yeah. Though I have to figure out this jet pack first. I'll think about other outfits... later. xD There just needs to be more T&B cosplay.

Yeah! Super strong! Armor wearing convention badasses~

HAAA! Like the Sky High at Otakon? It was amazing to see that live X'D That Sky High was a sweetheart-- she made my day even better rofl~

I second the more T&B Cosplay! Oh man, that jetpack looks crazy! My first ridiculous thought is to modify an old scuba tank as a joke but rofl no way! too heavy and bad idea-- so tough.. D: good luck with that one!


You get extra extra EXTRA points for armor XD! EXXXXTTRAAA!!

ALazyCat In reply to xxtakusenxx [2011-10-25 21:28:28 +0000 UTC]

Exactly! xD All Sky High cosplayers should do that. I only got to see the youtube video of it.

I think I've figured out a way to make it out of cardboard, I'm drawing up the schematics now. xD If this works, I think I'll have to make a tutorial on the jetpack...

Yesssss. POINTS.

xxtakusenxx In reply to ALazyCat [2011-10-25 23:46:28 +0000 UTC]

I agree!! Aww, it was amazing in person X'D They also were called up on stage by Ozaki to lead the first T&B panel in "ARIGATO, SOUSHITE ARIGATO!" at the end X'D I had been sitting behind that Sky High during the panel and was laughing too hard to do anything... OTL

NICE! Ahhh, I can't figure out anything like that ;3; I'm so amazed!

... I'm so oblivious-- I didn't realize I made a POINTS joke until I re-read it...HAAAA!! X'D whoever does that is closer to being king of he--cosplay!!

I hope there's a T&B panel at Sakura-con~ That would be so amazing. <3 xD I've got to search on youtube now for this. It has to have made it's way to youtube~ Sounds like a lot of fun!

It's trial and error. o.o Hopefully I can make it work.

King of Cosplay~ xD I thought it was an intentional points joke. Points are serious business. xD

xxtakusenxx In reply to ALazyCat [2011-10-26 01:28:36 +0000 UTC]

I hope there is one too, for your sake! It was amazing! I wish I could have made it to the one in NYC but alas.. school ;n; ...
It was fabu when the Sky High walked in-- Ozaki was like "OOH~ SKY HIGH! " and everyone took pictures X'D rofl so cute! I hope its all on youtube <3 I know bits and pieces are~ It was a lot of fun!

Ahh, you'll get it! I believe in you!! ::dramatic pose!::


There needs to be a sash and a tiara for the King Of Cosplay~ : P
NOPE! IM JUST THAT GOOD! HA! XDDD

ALazyCat In reply to xxtakusenxx [2011-10-26 06:35:33 +0000 UTC]

I watched a bit of the panel on youtube, but no Sky High. But! It's all good~ They still have to announce all the guests for Sakura-con, so there's still hope! Though I'd rather that he works on a second season. o.o

Thank you, and again, thank you for beleiving in me!

...I think I'm going to make one of the "Let's Believe Heroes!" sashes for Sky High now. I might add a tiara later for lulz. xD YOU ARE MADE OF WIN. Unwitting pun win.

Aww, that sucks ;_; I wish all of that was caught on tape, it was amazing! ...And that's true too! I'm sure there will be plenty of T&B stuff there to tide you over for a little while if there is no panel : P

OF COURSE! <3

DO ITTTT! DOOO ITTTT! "I am king of cosplay! \o/" The tiara should have a KOC or KOH on it XD so cheesy~ ( not to be confused with KFC) rofl
Thank you and rofl : P <3

xD I did find videos of that Sky High 'peacocking' people. o.o It was interesting. xD And yep! It looks like we've got almost all the characters~ Well, kind of.

xD KOH definitely~ xD This is so happening now. I have no idea how to make a tiara (no motivation, really), so I may end up going to the dollar store... xD

xxtakusenxx In reply to ALazyCat [2011-10-27 05:47:01 +0000 UTC]

yeah, that Sky High was hilarious X'D I think they also briefly turned into Barnaby!

I'd just go to the Dollar Store and get one-- it'll be extra cheesy and funny XD! (and cheaper/less time consuming X'D)

ALazyCat In reply to xxtakusenxx [2011-10-27 06:14:05 +0000 UTC]

o.o Transformation! :-0 The mask comes off and Sky High is... Barnaby?!?! xD

Yep~ xD This will be my most derpiest cosplay, and one of the ones I've done the most work on too. Thank you for helping me decide on these things. :3

xxtakusenxx In reply to ALazyCat [2011-10-27 06:37:24 +0000 UTC]

no no! I read it in the description that Sky High and Barnaby were the same person in the video XDDDD HAHAHA

Of course and now I'm dying for pictures o/!! skafls derpy cosplays are the best, but the hardworked ones are most rewarding~ <3

derpy hardwork cosplay. rofl. >.< I'll make sure to take a derpy picture or 5 for you! At least, I'll try. And again. I'll try! Or I'll ask someone else to help me. >.>;

It looks amazing so far but how are you going to breath through that? o__o

ALazyCat In reply to BakaRaiHime [2011-10-24 23:44:42 +0000 UTC]

...>.>; Breathing... huh... I forgot about that. Though it should be fine, the bottom part isn't air tight, and I'm not planning on wearing it for long periods of time, so... yeah. o.o I really forgot about being able to breathe though.
