Lotara Planning - Drow Cosplay

So I've started purchasing materials, so I can say I've officially started work on this project. So this character design started as a derivative of the Lotor bodysuit. But as I've been working through the leather work course and learning about armor design, I started focusing more on themes, shapes and armor pieces. The bottom row is the current plan without much of the details. 

I've illustrated the costume breakdown here.

Layer 0 - Body Mods

  • Body paint ✔
  • charcoal tights and arm warmers ✔
  • latex elf ears ✔
  • white wig (reusing my Lotor wig) ✔
  • Other makeup ✔

Layer 1 - Underwear-ish

  • Camisole/Sports Bra (any color) ✔
  • Magenta high waist bikini cut bottoms $ (fabric bought)
  • Garter belt ✔ (using scrap fabric)
  • Thigh high stockings - black ✔
  • Bustle ✔ (using scrap fabric)

Layer 2 - Clothes

  • Knee high boots with front cuff (plan on using stretch suede and boot covers)
  • Opera length gloves (I plan on using stretch suede)
  • Sleeveless long tail coat $ (fabric and pattern bought) Stretch velvet and nylon lining

Layer 3 - Leather Armor

  • Corset Bodice Armor (patterned)
  • Bracers
  • Greaves
  • Headband
  • Belt with pouch and loops.

I am also undertaking a 2nd costume project which I'll post about next time.

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.

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

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'
