Week One: On craftingDevil Jin's gauntlets without losing my head

Oh, the joy of loving difficult cosplays.

I decided that, for the upcoming Central Fan Fest 3 on February 28, I will do a cosplay that is guaranteed to become one of my highlights of the year: Devil Jin, from Tekken 6. I'm not doing the game version, but a version I found in the Tekken 6 official art book. I know, quite a lot of work to do, but someone's gotta do it!

Yesterday I began with building the simple part of the cosplay: the gauntlets. I'm doing a few models to see which one work. You see,


see the red things on his hands? Specially the ones that go after the palm of his hands? They go under a black thing on his arm that is kinda double in size than his average size. I build an over arm and I'm planning to place the red thing over the over arm. The hand will be crafted out of a ski glove I'm getting, because the hand is also double in size. Hehe. Quite a small kind of work compared to THOSE WINGS!!! T_T

Sigh. Why oh why I love complicated cosplays? T_T

But yeah, that is what I'm doing this week. Pictures of the outcome soon.
