I've been playing Underworld Office and GETTING SO ATTACHED TO ALL OF THE CHARACTERS have a Eugene i am him
not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]
Look at my soldiers dawg, i'm winning
It's been performed in at pride!!!
Here's my thoughts on it:
So I ended up stoning some of the boots, gloves, helm gem, panty, shoulders and mellow cockpit stripe, HUGE, I don't know why I hesitated in the first place, this is drag baby and it really pulls it all together under stage lights.
I wish I had used a more flexible foam for my shoes as I see the paint struggling under the movement, nothing unfixable but the flex paint is really doing the heavy lifting.
The first gig I did with it I did end up dropping into a split and the force did take a chunk out of the back of the heel, quickly fixed and didn't happen the second time even though I did another split on the same shoe hehe

Thankfully the stages weren't dirty and the white of the costume stayed clean, HOWEVER!!
remember to seal your pain folks!!! The blue of the kneepads bled onto my knees!! Because I didn't seal the paint at the back of it enough (<dumb dumb) unsure on how I'll be able to remove the stains so far, thankfully it's hidden under the kneepads but I'm not a fan.
The wings are a bit floppy but I knew it would happen since I didn't want to make the harness clip at the front, but something to keep in mind for future costumes!
The helmet pressed against my forehead a lot during the first gig with it, but not anymore? I assume the heat I was expelling like a fucking space heater molded the foam again.
I'm still debating whether I should add more shoulder pads to the jacket but I think it looks okay?
Iwish I had been able to make shoulder pieces and or even the null rays but that would have been much too restrictive.
Costume is great to dance in, I did knock my hands against my helm a few times haha but I just need to get used to it.
So moral of the story, no more armor pieces required or possible to slot in there, maybe needs more crystals (I love shiny things) ? Some mild upkeep is needed with the paint and ab crystals but, overall? Success!!
Now do let me know, do you think this is a cosplay success?
I altered so much, does this still ring starscream to you?
How would you have done it?
So excited to finally be posting this preview of my card for the Transformers Tarot Project ! Check out the project's main page for more info @tftarotproject and give some love to all the artists !

fulfilling my dreams of drawing cool dragons
Live footage of me finding out EVERY SINGLE ROBOT IVE VOTED FOR is LOSINGย
Bringing my mother to this con was so useful because:
1. I am like a horse with the vision things on, I cannot see beyond a circle in front of me
2. I get someone to take photos of me :333
Mirage cosplay wip! Took this video so I could see the head on myself from every angle and figured Iโd post it.
Iโm a little excited about finishing the head because it was so hard to make
Iโm going to a con tomorrow with the head and hands, but I donโt have her skirt nor her exposed arm or legs.
If I take photos at the con ill try to post those as well!
