Cosplay Progress update! 

So these are the unfinished masters for Vriska’s wing frame, Sollux & Feferi/Meenah’s horns, and a set of teeny tiny Tavros horns for one of my dolls. Vriska’s horns are on another board in my living room, but they’ll be getting a foamed too.

I’m adapting my normal armor making process to making horns and the frame, so I’m crossing my fingers that this is even going to work. I’ll be spraying the forms down with expanding insulation foam and then carving them into the right shapes. Because this particular brand is known for sealing the can shut after use I needed to wait until I had a lot of things to spray so there’s lots to do today. 

See ya in a few hours Tumblr!

working on my Vriska wings again

the proof of concept for the flapping system works!!

unfortunately, as it’s made out of tape, cardboard, and old rusty nails, it doesn’t stay together for much longer than about ten flaps. I’m off to go pick up some kids construction kits so I have some more sturdy pieces and joints.

Dad’s also suggested that I drill holes in Popsicle sticks (obviously he doesn’t remember my last misadventure with them), or pick up some plastic to cut and shape to the right sizes. Apparently he was thinking about this and nothing but this from 2am to 4am today.

He’s surprisingly gung-ho for this project. It almost makes me wish I’d told him about it sooner than last night at dinner.

hahahahaha he just offered to go out and buy the bits and pieces for me!
