Welcome to my cosplay blog! I specialise in gore and sfx, and when I'm not covered in fake blood I'm cosplaying tsundere boys. Hope you enjoy my work! photog by pixiscene

Back from Overload, and we won the Madman comp! We’ll be flying out to Australia later in the year to compete in the finals as the New Zealand representatives ~

Thank you to everyone for their support and kind words on the day. I felt like an extremely edgy ita lol

Over the last month or so I’ve been working on Ailane-samaaaa for Overload this weekend. I’ll be preforming a skit with my Peipein! ( loosely based off their first game episode haha )

It was my first time making a steel boned corset! Somehow it was easier than I thought it would be. I’m scared to count how many metres of lace got thrown onto her. . .  I mostly used twinkle satin, which has glitter infused into the material to give her that idoru sparkle~ 

I also wefted two wigs together since she has so much hair ( RIP combing it ) and her guitar comes apart for travel purposes.

Foam Wig Tutorial

I wanted to remake my Rhys wig in a way that would compliment the cel shaded style of Borderlands, rather than fight it the way wig hair does. While I was moderately happy with how my first wig turned out, it still wasn’t what I was going for:

It’s fiiiine I guesssss, but it looks sloppy, it didn’t fit quite right, and it’s not as stylized and chunky as the rest of my cosplay.

I turned to the internet, but I found surprisingly little about making wigs out of foam. I know it happens all the time. But why was there no tutorial?? So I winged it (wung it? no), and now I’ll share what I think was a successful experiment with you all. At the very least, I think it makes a good starting point.

You will need:

  • Wig cap
  • Cling wrap
  • Masking tape
  • A sharpie
  • Wig head
  • Scissors
  • 2mm craft foam
  • Foam for the hair (I used more craft foam)
  • Hot glue (a lot of it)
  • Modge Podge
  • Acrylic paint

Here we go:

Wao, okay so apparently people really like furry nins. . .  I wasn’t expecting so much positive feedback so here’s some better detailed shots and some of my process under the cut!

Oh my god this looks amazing!!! How did you get the parts to glow like that?! *___*

Thanks! Its reflective tape, the stuff that bikes have :) so it glows under flash. Here’s what it looks like without flash~
