Ginger with Hat

I started with a simple head/helmet base and then I just added pieces of mattress foam, which I cut and trimmed until I had a rough basic shape. The hole is where my field of vision is.

Next, I covered the head with black, stretchy fabric that I glued down with hot glue, so it was somewhat smooth and covered all the visible areas of mattress foam.

For the area around the mouth, I got some white fabric and let it soak in tea for some hours so it got that brown-ish, old colour. I then added it to the head with hot glue. I also cut a hole for the eyes and glued the edges so it wouldn't rip.

Same process for the teeth, except the fabric is for embroidery, so I'm able to see through it. The black outline and lines at the teeth is felt, which I also used hot glue to attach.

For the final finish, I covered most of the head with hot glue, so it looked like it was melting or running. I painted it with black acrylic paint, and then painted it again with a special effects paint called black Perma Grime from the company Pale Night Productions. When it dries, it gets really glossy and looks a lot like wet ink.

The cellshading and last details are made with black fabric paint.

(I added a wip pic of the spine underneath so you can see the glue without the Perma Grime)

Hope this helps.

From design idea to actually making the cosplay (still WIP)

I've changed and adjusted a few things along the way and some more stuff have been added, but I'm super happy about how this project is coming along 😁

Among Us pumpkins! 🎃 🎃

Literally saw this in an Among Us memes compilation on youtube and wanted to do some pumpkin carving myself. It's so cute, I can't even 🥰

I finally got creative again (I really should be more active, but my motivation is in the gutter, sooo...^^")

This is a plushie I made for @snuggly-rascal-flopdoodles as a gift. It's Cuphead based of the design from the amazing Casino Cups AU created by @brightgoat (AKA @askcupsandcasinos) It's my favourite Cuphead AU, so of course I had to make something from it eventually 😊

Made this little turtle for my mom for Mother's Day. Simplicity often goes a long way 🐢

I had some time and a spare frame, so I made another picture from Chapter 5 from BatIM.

Pencil and liner pens. Haven't decided if I should add the signature yet.

Some autumn pics I took this weekend in the woods 🧣🍂🍁

The colour combinations during autumn are some of my favourites.

Participated in the cosplay competetion for a local con called Geekcon, and I won Best Craft with Ink Bendy!

It was really fun, and I met a lot of cool cosplayers.

It depends on what you're comfortable with doing for your cosplay.

I use a black fullbodysuit as a base, but I've seen some cosplayers just use a black long-sleeved shirt, a pair of black gloves, and then a black skimask or balaclava for the head.

I've sown this pair of pants myself, but you can most likely find some pants in the right colour or dye them if you feel it isn't the right colour. Not sure about the suspenders, but maybe if you can find some in the right colour or make your own. Also, not entirely necessary (depends on your skill level), but cellshading gives it all an awesome finishing touch.

The mask is traced from my laptop, then traced and hand-painted and then glued onto cardboard, but I have seen that some cosplayers have printed the mask and then glued it onto a sturdier surface like cardboard or simply bought the Bendy mask and then painted it to make it look worn down.

I hope this helps, but else feel free to message me if there's anything you want to know, and good luck.

Finished up my antler necklace holder. Now I just need to figure out where to hang it.

Made with tinfoil, cardboard, newspaper, FIMO clay, and acrylic/metallic paint.
