I'm Thinking Of Using San In My Next Contest And Some Things Needed Some Improvements, So, That's Been

I'm thinking of using San in my next contest and some things needed some improvements, so, that's been my past week and a half 😅

Dirtying up the parts that were too clean, then remaking the dagger to look more carved from stone... then my dear cat stole one of the arm things, and I had to make a new one... still, the hardest part was finding a song to fit my idea.

But it's done now 😁

This is the cosplay I'm currently working on... Ulquiorra from Bleach. I decided to start with the regular version first because it's mostly sewing, which I can do fairly easily, and make the second release version when I've had some experience with wings. 😅

These are my prototypes for the costume and bone helmet:

I made a pattern of my head that I then placed on my improvised wig stand to draw on the details, like the layers in the back, etc.

The horn was carved from Styrofoam just to see the size and shape I will need for the final product. The layers here are 2mm EVA, but I will use 5mm for the final version, as I only needed to check length and shape.

For the hakama trousers, I used a pattern I found on pinterest as reference to make my own and finished with black elastic because Ulquiorra has a full circle black belt anyway. The sides are still open because I might make the opening into a pocket because cosplayers have needs and pockets is definitely one of them.

For the top, I used my usual patterns and just adjusted the length of the front and back since they are very different. Used the Undertaker's pattern for the collar because it's the same shape and size, and I still had it close by. And it doesn't have sleeves because I have the pattern from previous projects as well, and they don't need changes.

I might work on the katana this week if I have enough time, but for now, that's what I have done.

Don't forget to follow if you want to see more updates 😉 and feel free to ask if you have any questions 😊

Finished 😁

After so many layers of toilet paper and glue and paint, it finally looks like the eye is actually coming out of the cover, and I'm just very happy with it 😄

Maybe I can fit this into one of my costumes later on or something, I don't know... or maybe it will just be a box, only time and my dumb brain will tell...

Considering this is me procrastinating, I think it could be worse... but now I have to get back to proper work...
