Week one: Of wings, and realization
Finally, a light shine me a path to begin with the wings!
THE WINGS OF CHAOS!
My friend K. got the brilliant idea of going to Home Depot to "cosplay research" the materials for her costume. I decided to go with her and her boyfriend to buy some glue that I needed, and I also thought of getting a knife. So we went there, and I thought, "hey, I can also go to that costume shop to check on wings and all that stuff", so we went there. I got this pair of wings that I will literally tear apart to make the shape of the wings work.
Then, I had an idea. Well, I remembered an idea one of my friends told me. He said, "you can try to get monster-like gloves and paint them black and they are bigger than your normal hand, and Devil Jin has huge monster-like hands, you know?" It is a wonderful idea, I thought. It's actually a wonderful idea.
I got the pair of gloves. They are massive compared to my hands, haha. I just had to paint them and do the little silver finger thingy, and they're perfect. I already cut the red hand protector thingy the correct size, and I'm waiting for them to dry -oh, that's something funny, I started to paint them and I thought the spray paint I was using was white. But it wasn't. It's purple, haha. It just had a white cover.- to test them. I still have to paper mache it.
For the arms I cut a piece of cardboard and made it round my arm, so it's double in size just like Devil Jin's. I also bought something that's like a texturizer in spray to give it the rough texture the gauntlets have. Wish me luck, guys!! I hope this turns out to be good, because I'm pulling all the stops for the first convention this year!
