Prince Lotor - Day 13 + 14.5

Over the weekend was quite the poisonous undertaking. It was also breezy outside which kind of sucked. But I covered almost all the armor pieces in Plasti-Dip.

However, there were some issues with bubbling and in some cases peeling. :P I did not do even coats despite using the trigger spray. The wind was really distracting. Anyway, got it done on Saturday.
My kingdom of trash! OMG.

Sunday after Mass and chatting with my parents, I started painting some of my pieces with the primer+paint in grey and black. These came out fine, except for the breeze sort of messing things up. :P
Shins
Thighs and knee
These might get another coat of spray paint, but after some reading on how to make edges look a bit smoother after a rough sanding. I learned about flexible paint. I order some Sunday and got it yesterday and gave it a try. 

It's brushed on. 
It did seem to fill in some of the tiny holes and bubbles. It'll take a few layers but Hexpaint did make some of the rough sand smoother. 
I also made stencils for the blue star and "nose" on the chest piece. The silver eyes I know I can free hand. 

So the plan is to put a couple more coats of Hex paint on the chest and gauntlets. 
Then over the weekend, use the primer + spray paint to give everything an even coat. Then paint on the deets. 

I will also add paint to the leggings and top that need fixing. I'm going to be a mess this weekend. 
But the taste of being so close to finishing is delicious!

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 ...
