Description Debuted my BlackRose cosplay at Youmacon 2011.
I've been so excited to wear her since I've been working my ass off on this for quite awhile.

*Body paint was done by my amazingly talented friends Ariel and Sally
*My face make-up was also done by Sally
*My dad and I made my sword together
*Tights painted by my roomie, Sam

Rest of the cosplay made completely by me

Wow, this looks absolutely amazing! Wish I could have seen it in person. I gotta ask, how did you make those kick-ass gauntlets?

I started with this wire mesh stuff that I wrapped around my arm and paper mache'd that. Then, like most of my armor, it was a combination of paper mache and paper clay Of course a lot of sanding too

Oh wow, I never would have guessed all that went into making them! They look so solid and PERFECT. Heck, if I hadn't asked, I would have figured they were Wonderflex or something.

aww thanks! I wish I could have used wonderflex but I was really poor when I started her armor. Haha

You're welcome! Yeah, Wonderflex is a little pricey. But I'd say your technique works just as good. : )

thank you! I actually started legit tanning for it and it grew on me so much I think I'm going to keep doing it for good. (although I will probably start relying a lot more on decent bronzers than tanning beds sometime soon
)

I'm too fair to do tanning beds; any kind of UV's will roast me XD And I think I'd look weird with a tan. But it works for you

I love the job of the body markings
How long did it take to get all that done?
And which way round is it, all bodypaint or just the markings?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Rinachur In reply to CooroSnowFox [2011-11-07 18:57:23 +0000 UTC]

The body paint is just the markings, for my color I just tanned and used bronzer. It took us about 2 hours to do just the markings, then we had to do my face make-up and put my costume on which probably took another 30 minutes to an hour.

I was so glad that I ran into you at the con! Sorry that I really didnt stick around to talk, I was kinda in a rush.

But anyway, you did a fantastic job on your cosplay! I absolutely loved it. The detail to your costume was just awesome.

I'm also glad I got to see you! And yeah don't worry about that, the convention was so crazy I didn't really get a chance to talk to a lot of people as much as I had wanted to.
also thanks
