Costume Progress: Zelda and Linkle

 With no events to really set a hard deadline on costume projects, things continue to progress at a leisurely pace. But they are progressing. 


Princess Zelda

So I have all the armor parts 3D printed. Did a few layers of finishing on them but there's still plenty of work to do for those I've been coating it with clear polyurethane Things are starting to feel smooth to the touch. I also 3d printed a Heart container for fun. I'm out of the gold filament so trying be careful with my armor pieces. 

A couple days ago I purchased the fabric to make the dress with and received the package of wigs! 


Linkle

For this I recently got the wig and wefts. I have 3D printed all the metal parts of the cross-bows. I got the nozzle and wood filament for the rest of the crossbow parts.


Lotara

Remade my prototype for the leather armor. I looked at the fabric I got but haven't touched it since the 3D printer is taking up my sewing table at the moment.

Sims4 Tutorial: Making Custom Food Vampire Friendly

Image
When living as long as you do off blood, why wouldn't you come up with more creative ways of consuming? This tutorial will demonstrate what to change in your custom food to make it fit for vampires and make humans sick. Pre-Requisites: You need to have the Add-On Vampires for Sims 4 Sims4 Studio Basic Knowledge of Object tuning How to clone and make a custom food item. (I like using the Foodchemistry one) (optional) Custom Buffs You can complete this step once you have all your servings set up. On the single serving, you will want to edit the Object Tuning of your food item. You want to find the line < u n="_components" > that comes after any utensil blocks. This looks different between recipes, fyi. Everything I'm about to tell you to paste in goes AFTER this component line. Copy and paste the code snippet after component line. Now let's break down what parts of this code mean. The first yellow highlighted line is the stat this food affe

3D Printer to Die-Cutter Progress

Image
 There have been some hiccups in this process unfortunately. I still think this is a doable thing but for me, I have given up and purchased a Cricut machine to do what I wanted to do. It is still worth talking about where things were going so well and not so well.  It's got a Knife! So I purchased a generic knife holder with blades that fit elegantly into the blade holder I 3D-printed. I used small rubber bands to hold the holder together. I got my cutting mat and a piece of paper and started running some tests. And...it did work in SOME directions, but often the blade would get caught in certain areas on the flat bed. So I continually tried to mess with the bed level manually. No matter what I did, there were just some areas on the bed that would catch the knife.  The thing is, I had noticed in my 3D printing stencils as well that the corners just wouldn't get level. Thus I am struggling to remove stencils from acrylic glass.  So the big lesson I learned here is that, the bed

Acrylic Glass Art with 3D printing Series: Ruka and Kyojuro Painted Scene

Image
This was the project that really spear-headed the whole craze. I wanted to wait until I got good...but I didn't. I just went for it. And we'll see how it goes.  What I Used Materials: Acrylic Multi-Surface Paints, Stencil 4.8" x 7" Glass, Chrome Spray Paint. Vinyl sticker on back for protection(?) Method: Masking with lineart Color Method: Cel painting Colored Reference. Image Prep The image was originally from this  Stencil  which looks like it's based off a frame in the manga. That's why there's lots of little scratch lines and fiddly details. I opted to take out the flowers on the sleeve, thicken the lines in Kyojuro's eyes, and open up the space in Kyojuro's hair tips since I will color them later. Another thing I was trying to decide is if I would print the scene as a stencil or inverse stencil.  Stencil Version The pros of the Stencil are that the line art will be flat black paint (except Kyojuro's pupils which I will first paint white).
