Costume Updates and other small things

[ClassyZombieYT]

...why would you make a Zoid costume out of foam? The fabric will just turn it into a mess. You're supposed to use a rigid method.. have you ever heard of pepakura? Fiberglass method? It works a lot better. It's a shame because the shape looks fantastic.

@ClassyZombieYT a friend of ours already made one out of foam, and I already tested the fabric. Plus, I've seen multiple transformers costumes made with this method that turned out fine. Yes I've heard of pepakura, and it would be way too expensive and troublesome with a costume like this to find a pattern and use fiberglass. We were going to use a rigid material to cover it, but decided against it after a while. Also, this costume is spread out among 3 people, and we all are used to using foam.

Is the quadsuit Toothless? :D

[amychaogirl]

@Flaffen98 nope, but good try ;)

[Flaffen98]

@amychaogirl Hmm, I'm going to try to figure out >'D! I'm probably not going to get it, but could you give a hint of what species it is? x3

[amychaogirl]

@Flaffen98 a cat C:

[Flaffen98]

@amychaogirl lol ok... could it be one of those cats from Sailor Moon? or Chi from Chi's sweet home? =3

[amychaogirl]

@Flaffen98 no, but you're getting closer...

[Flaffen98]

@amychaogirl This is so hard XD hmm, Kirara from Inuyasha ? :D

[Flaffen98]

@amychaogirl Ok, here are some wild guesses:

Kirara from Inyasha, Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew, Kyo from Fruit Baskets (cat form), Yoruichi from Bleach (cat form), more I dunno. xD

[amychaogirl]

@Flaffen98 XD it is very difficult, I don't want to give any more hints out though o3o I'll probably have a video out of the work in progress soon though

[Flaffen98]

@amychaogirl Okay :3

[LigerzeroLindsey]

Ahh gun sniper, recognized those feet as soon as I saw them. May I ask who this is being made for?

[amychaogirl]

@LigerzeroLindsey A friend of mine, she's with EverFreeRadio, and on there she goes by Autumn Spice. I remember seeing your videos of your Liger cosplay while we were looking for ideas on how to build the costume.

[LigerzeroLindsey]

@amychaogirl She should make a DA, I would love to keep up with this. Haha, this method is much different than mine. But the construction is nice looking, looks hard to fabric but it looks really good and I would love to keep up with it. Not to mention I run a Zoids Cosplay Group on Deviant Art.

@LigerzeroLindsey

i have a deviantart myself, and since I am going to be fabricing everything I could probably keep everything updated. She used to use deviantart, but she doesn't really... 'like it' any more.

[LigerzeroLindsey]

@amychaogirl Ahh I see, well I will have to keep an eye out then, if you post something let me know! Or put Zoids in the tag, I also could submit photos to my group =]

[amychaogirl]

@LigerzeroLindsey sure thin C: I found your group on DA, mebbe I'll submit some photos myself once I get the time...

[LigerzeroLindsey]

@amychaogirl Sounds great! I am pretty excited to see more of this! =]

[Dragonanimefox]

Are you open for comissions on paws and tails? I am looking for a rainbow dash tail from my little pony friendship is magic? Lightweight and at a reasonable price.

[amychaogirl]

@Dragonanimefox paws and tails yes. though, the fur for all the colors is a tad on the expensive side. I'd be willing not to make a profit off of it though.

[alliemattable]

I love the robot feet and arms! Looks like a lot of work XD

[amychaogirl]

@alliemattable thank you C: and yes, a lot of work has gone into them XD

[Frostfur24]

Is it Toothless from HTTYD?

[amychaogirl]

@Frostfur24 nope, but good try!

[yuying78]

[amychaogirl]

@yuying78 i will! i sort of have to worry about the giant robot costume that has to be done before katsucon too... but i will make it!
