Memory of Kyoshi

(español debajo de inglés)

Just to show you I've been doing art, and because so many of you are dying to see my cosplay progress... ta-da!

This is the wig and the headdress that I'll be wearing when I cosplay Suki from Avatar: The Last Airbender at Otakon 2010 this year. I'll be sure to post photos from the event in full cosplay once it's finished!

This was also an assignment for my Photoshop class- hence the recoloring and "painting"of the wig head. Yes, my face is going to be that white and red when I wear the full attire!

I'll keep you updated on the cosplay progress.

Esta foto es de la peluca y el tocado que vestiré cuando yo cosplay Suki de Avatar: The Last Airbender para Otakon 2010. ¡Mostraré las fotos del cosplay cuando completo!

También, esa es un proyecto de mi clase de Photoshop- es el razón que la pinté. Sí, ¡me maquillaré con blanco y rojo cuando vestiré mi cosplay!

Avatar Kyoshi! You were epic too, I really loved your fans! I'd love to know how you did them.

The headdress? Craft foam! Spraypainted gold then sealed, and I used puffy paint for the raised edges. Chopsticks too. ^^ (And lawl, if you try that, test the size with the wig ON first. Because, uh, I kinda split it at one of the edges... Nobody noticed!

My friend helped me make the fans. We just got some paint stir sticks, cut them in half, then duct taped them together in a nice, orderly stack. We then used a drill to put a hole through the bottom, and plopped a bolt with a square-shaped nut in there. Once that was done, we opened it on white fabric and I traced the shape needed for the fan blade. I then cut it out, glued it on (wood glue or crazy glue works fine here), spraypainted it gold, then made all the little diamond/line thingies with permanent marker. ^__^ easy and effective.

I'll have to try that headband method, because mine was just painted cardboard and it felt half-assed. XD

Oooh, I love that idea. ^^ I'd love to try it since mine are so flimsy and breaking!

Just watch that you don't let it flatten out once you heat shape it, and REINFORCE WHERE YOU ATTACH THE HEADBAND (OTL wasted a whole day trying to fix it when I made the elastic too small and the foam tore. T-T)
