Prince Lotor + Props - Day 4

Another sewing weekend. Got half of the leotard finished.





The paneling is much better on this one and we got the sleeves on! I did a test with the shoulder pads and they do fit fine after some major adjusting. I definitely need to sew the fabric pads down to the compression shirt I'm making. :) There's some tightness in the sleeves but that's more due to my chubby arms. (Working on it.) I still need to add the grey appliqué which I'll most likely use fabric glue and iron on bonding for. Tricky to do for stretch fabrics but  sewing it on was not the best option last time. Also need to finish the leg holes, add snaps and the collar. I started painting the orange line but that may take a few layers.  I'll make the gloves and shoes after this. 

Also during the week I was able to finish the head for Kova. And I got his eyes to glow.
After some initial testing, I've decided not to make him a puppet but just keep the light up eyes.
Check 'em out!


I used a led kit from https://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/. They're crazy bright. And nicely pre-made. I just had to electric tape down the connections.

I also attached the head to the wire frame and trying to balance things out. :/ Started some of the stuffing process.

Busy Busy and Art Exchange

Image
Work has been all consuming of my time and a drain on my creativity. I still get bursts of creative energy from time to time. Some things I've made since my last post: Rhinestone Necklace                     Rhinestone Shoes Crochet African Flowers Stuffed Fox Touching up VN sprites Written the First chapter of the next two VN routes So more productive than I give myself credit for. :) Also exciting is that MAX (Multi-Artist Exchange) has been revived again after 2 years. I've been a part of this art exchange for over a decade. We're open to new folks joining so check it out at  https://comicadia.com/ . I have been working on updating the guide for them. Last night I purchased some of the fabric I'll need for my massive ballgown. Good golly miss molly. I had to get 19 yards of tulle. NINETEEN! That's almost 50 feet of fabric. What have I gotten myself into!? It also got me going into pattern reading whic...

Game Whining: Kingdom Hearts

So I'm not great at "gaming" although I spend many hours in the activity. I'm not trying to be awesome or really think too much about the game play or strategy until I get stuck. I've started playing Kingdom Hearts which I got for Christmas a couple years back. I started it and had to put it down for school and other games. I have been meaning to play it and now I am. But there is so much I HATE about this game that I must complain about here. We're going into rant mode. Controls This is a classic example of a game where there are too many control options for battles. I've played the game for several hours and usually after the first couple of hours things become second nature. I fear it may take more like 10 hours or more before I get used to these blasted controls. First off they don't make much sense. It's as if they were trying to combine action based combat with menu-based JRPG battle. Which CAN work, in certain cases but usually there...

August Begins

A new month. And ever closer creeps my personal deadlines for these costumes. October was the goal for the Warden and Tali. However, since I've taken on another project for Halloween, I'm scooting Warden and Tali out to November. And Alistair...the poor chap...hasn't had any construction done what so ever. :( I have all supplies too. Anyway, I've made a bit of progress on each costume here and there. Tali: I took the shoes out of the feet and got inserts to put in there instead. Warden: Put more studs into the Jacket. Wolf Queen: Made the Circlet, got the beads for the necklace, made some ears and started on the tail. Got some knee high nylons to make the feet. I've also had quite a few interviews the past couple weeks. I hope to start a new job soon. *pleeeease, better pay, better environment* Anyway, I've also been going to D&D sessions on the weekends. ...I'm learning how bad I am at improv. LOL. I hope to finish the Wolf Tail this week ...
