Do you have a tutorial on how to do a cosplay with multiple arms? I saw your Goddess Kiva costume on pinterest and I am trying to figure out how to do the Opal cosplay from Steven Universe. I liked your arms the most out of all the ones I have seen and I just need some idea on how to do it!

Hey - thank you so much for the fave! Really like your work too, especially those wings.
What did you make them out of?

Firefly182 In reply to Son-of-Icarus [2014-08-22 10:13:18 +0000 UTC]

Hi there! Thank you very much :) (Smile) The wings you are referring to are made from cellophane and epoxy resin. Not recommended for the long run though ;-) (Wink)

mariatje In reply to Firefly182 [2014-07-10 09:35:34 +0000 UTC]

satijn duchesse heeft ook geen grote glans zoals de andere zijdes maar ietsje meer als mij stof maar satijn duchesse is best moeilijk mee te werken want de stof krult op aan de uiteindes.

Firefly182 In reply to rwolf1970 [2014-06-06 13:03:07 +0000 UTC]

I didn't even see that! Did you alter anything? Your gorget looks way tighter around the neck.
Thanks for pointing me to Ralphs pattern sharing by the way :) (Smile)

rwolf1970 In reply to Firefly182 [2014-06-06 20:04:06 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I felt the gorget was way too loose so I took a couple inches off each end. I also adjusted the pattern on the black one so that it does up at the side, not the back, for easier access :) (Smile)

I would like to thank you for the watch. It is much appreciated. I see that you are also a fellow costume builder. Great job.

Firefly182 In reply to BadLukArt [2013-02-08 16:16:21 +0000 UTC]

And thank you too! I'm fond of making (fabric) costumes indeed but every once in a while I like to use other material as leather, aluminium, paper and in the near future neoprene and silicone.
Your leatherworking is simply amazing! All those details...

Thank you very much. I make it a point to let others know that if they have questions, they are free to ask away. I love helping other artists increase their abilities. The same goes for you. Others have done it for me, so I will do the same. Thank you again for the kind words.
