I've had a request to post pictures of my project so far. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures for all of the parts that I have done so far. But here's what I do have:
WARNING!!! MASSIVE PICTURES BEHIND CUTS! ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Pointy thing #1:
Pointy thing #2:
Pointy thing #1&2:
Stencil:
The Fabric:
The final pieces:
Making the stencil (take 1):
Whoops!
Making the stencil (take 2):
The actual fabric:
So at this point I should say that the fabric ended up being way too thin and even with two layers of it you can still kinda see through it. This wouldn't be a problem except that the black leotard is not the same shape as the red part of the suit. Taking a break to contemplate what I can do to fix this...so, more stuff to come later.
Checkup:
Head:
-Wig: 12% (bought the wig and wig dye. Started straightening the wig. Taking longer than expected.)
-Headdress: 10% (Started on base structure. Debating if I should use all cardboard and hotglue or also add some paperclay to the mix. Also, ran out of small hot glue sticks. No progress can be made until more are bought)
-Head Cables: 30% (Have the pointy things on the end about 60% done and have the tubing I'm going to use. Need to finish priming the pointy things and then paint them. Liquid latex has arrived, I'm just being slow about using it. Still need to think of a secure way to attach the pointy things.)
Body:
-Red part: 70% (cut out and sewn together. Is stretchy enough that I didn't need to add a zipper. Contemplating adding foam to the inside to give it more support. Will be decided upon once I put the Velcro in.)
-White part: 35% (Fabric turned out way thiner than I thought it was. Have one leg sewn together with double layering. On hiatus while I debate what to do.)
-Gloves: 15% (Have some black gloves for the black finger tips. Debating between painting red body latex on them or actually making a pair of gloves. Painting would be easier. >.> Also need to figure out what I'm going to do for the yellow pointy parts. Probably cardboard and hot glue, that seems to work really well for making circular things.)
-Shoulder and wrist things: 1% Concept of how I'm going to make them is pretty much there. Haven't started yet, but I'm pretty sure that I'm going to make a base out of cardboard and then cover in paperclay to give it a smooth surface to gesso on.)
-Yellow stuff(center of her chest): 1% (Know how I'm going to do it. Should be very simple with cardboard.)
Legs/Feet:
-Legs: 5% (Have the red fabric. Haven't done anything else)
-Shoes: 90% (Still debating if I should paint gesso on them and I need to add hot glue to the bottom so I have traction!)
Overall: 35%
Should be working on it more this week, so we should see some more progress soon. The stupid weather is fucking with me. It was so hot that I didn't want to do anything and now it's so cold that I kinda just want to sit in bed and do nothing. >.<
Going to force myself to do stuff anyways. Cheer me on!
