Yeah, I'm gonna do Olette someday because her cosplay is so easy. : D
I love Hunny too. :3
And mhm, i'm doing his suit thing. I'm just confused about what kind of fabric/material i'm going to use to make it.

haha that'd be greaaattt~
c:
Mm, if you want any suggestions I could help.
It seems like a sort of rubber like fabric would be used if you ask me
but the thing is theres detail like riffs and ridges in it so it'd take a ton of work for all of those 3D nitches and whatnot so using liquid latex over a bodysuit would work well as long as you use a finish after placing the body of the liquid latex

uncivillyemily In reply to kirstinleigh [2010-07-30 03:51:58 +0000 UTC]
No no its just that I've looked into the idea of bodysuits like that when I didn't want to uh sew the whole thing persay.
lol go ahead and ask anything you want, I really don't mind.
My method does have some tutorials from sites and all,
it's just not a one man job though, it takes a good bit of time and work to make a peice of art like that suit.

kirstinleigh In reply to uncivillyemily [2010-07-30 21:55:24 +0000 UTC]
Well I have 7 months to make this suit, which is why I'm gonna perfect the crap out of it.
So you're saying, I should buy a black bodysuit as a base? That's kind of what I figured I should do, I'm just concerned about how i'm going to color and create the rubber looking material parts on the front of his costume.

Mhm buy that as a base.
Liquid latex is the answer to the issue really
just takes time
and money
it comes in different colors
and can be shaped
thing is.. you may want to get a plastic man thingy to put the suit on it so you can do it yourself instead of wearing it and having someone do it yourself
im not sure if those things are pricey or not though
the full body ones I mean

kirstinleigh In reply to uncivillyemily [2010-08-01 01:32:57 +0000 UTC]
AH, very true! I didn't even think of that! Hm, the body will probably be a little pricey, but it will coming in handy, i'm sure.

uncivillyemily In reply to kirstinleigh [2010-08-01 01:36:11 +0000 UTC]
Yeah I was falling asleep when I thought of it because I'm going to have to use the same technique soon and I don't want to be limited to making it with someone because i have a ton of alone time when I work
and laying it out and putting it on would be a bad idea because it wouldn't be fully stretched and things could be misplaced.
so I thought of the body base thing
c:
Hopefully itll all work out for you
that site should help a lot
and you should look deeper into the detais on the suit.
I could help with that if you like~
I do love researching on these kind of things haha

eh, if worst comes to worst a couple of my friends are my size and they'll just have to suffer through hours of torture while I make the costume.
The only problem i'm having is that i'm not sure if they carry the colors the Vanitas has on the front of his suit, which I want to say are purple and red, but they're a specific shade and such.
Thank you so much, you have no idea how helpful you've been. When I started brainstorming I had no idea how I was going to accomplish any of this.

uncivillyemily In reply to kirstinleigh [2010-08-01 16:59:50 +0000 UTC]
Well they most likely have the red and purple ish colors.
its not that hard to find really
that and if you get flesh toned you can color over it I believe...
that may result in the color to come off more easily but if you use a final seal on it you should be good.
Now you have to understand that this material is expensive and you'll need a lot of it.
I'd recomend getting a large qauntity of it in the Ben Nye variety
Ben Nye is VERY reliable and very good.
Its what I use.
but it comes in flesh tone so you'd have to paint it.
Heres a link to their products.
[link]
if your going to used colored liquid latex try finding a large amount of it in the desired colors.
I believe graftobian is pretty decent.
Although I do have their black in 1 oz and I must say that its not a very dark black
you'll most likely just want to go back to this site for colored latex
[link]
You want to use these to apply it by the way
[link]
Also are you going to attempt the keyblade he has~?
I re-rendered his image and spiffed it up so the details are more obvious for you for reference.
c:
[link]
With the jaw thing he has, you may want to use wonderflex to make that and then figure out a way to apply that to your jaw.
that or make it part of the costume.
are you doing it with the helmet thing or not?
because with it you'd need to find a way to be able to see through it...
I do have an idea for that though.
you could use a black body suit as your base and cover everything in the black but the head,
the end line for the liqui latex would be covered by the jawlining so that'd work~
<3
WHICH BY THE WAY THAT LINING GOES ALL AROUND
here lemme show you
[link]
I tried getting a better ref for the details but hopefully you can make that out.
and no problem, I love to help people.
I mean I was intrigued by this outfit myself so I was already looking into it although I had no intent on doing it lol.
So yeah you need anything I'm here man~
as for the mannequin thing I found out a cheaper solution to it although it may be a bit hard to work with due to less stability
its a blow up mannequin
[link]
or theres these people.
make sure to look at the shipping price
lol

GOD, I LOVE YOU! : D
That was SO helpful, really. I don't think I'm going to do the whole helmet, but I will do the jaw lining (only because I want to show off my wig/contacts.)
Again, I have 7 months to debut this costume, so money won't be TOO much of an issue seeing as how I have a lot of time to make it.
AND, yes, I really want to attempt his black/red looking keyblade (or the x-blade, depending on which would be easier.) I'd say the x-blade might be easier since it's really just two intersecting kingdom keys with a sword like thing going down the middle.
I think i'm going to buy the more flesh toned latex. In Vanitas's costume it kind of fades from red to purple, and I think I could make it look more realistic with paint. Since i'm gonna be spending so much time on it, I don't mind spending longer to paint it.
And with the whole blow up mannequin issue- my uncle is a manager at a K-mart and is letting me use a model mannequin for free. HECK YES.
I dunno if I asked you already- are you going to Mega or Metrocon again next year? I think you said you were but I forget everything way too easily. At any rate, if you are i'd want to show you how the costume would turn out. ^_^

uncivillyemily In reply to kirstinleigh [2010-08-05 16:45:57 +0000 UTC]
HAHAHA its all cool
and I thought you'd say that, which I think is totally fine really it'd add onto the costume
Oh well the black/red one is the one you see with him more often, but theres gaps, like holes in the area where you'd put the dowel as a base and support for the prop soi you may just want to do the x-blade although the other one would go better with everything.
Ah okay then I find the finish for you, I think I found information on it on yahoo answers from all my god damn researching
LMFAO heres the info:
Apply another fine coat of Liquid Latex Ultra Shine to the outside of the suit, and apply baby (talcum) powder to the inside of the suit
I think this is what makes the inside comfortable and then the latex more durable. I'll look a little more into it later because I know I've heard mroe about it
BTW I just found a way to make a custom mannequin thats of your bodyshape! read this:
[link]
but homg that soooo great! you totally got off cheap there
xD
LOL
<33
And I will go to Metro but Mega is iffy, due to me not having my own car and junk.
But yes I'd ADORE to see it!
