Hello, i'm curious if you remember what kind of Fabric you used for white part of the Ghirahim costume. I'm planning on helping a friend with making this costume and have never done anything like it before.

Hello there. I used a stretchy sports fabric. I should tell you, when creating the diamond holes in the tights and elsewhere, cut a cross shape (+) into the fabric sized to the length and width you want the final shape to be. Then fold and sew the resulting flaps over a piece of interfacing that's the same diamond shape and size as the hole in the fabric. You can best see what I did here:Β timmcosplay.deviantart.com/artβ¦
Good luck!Β

Photoshop. Or to be more precise, Google Image search.

No. No I do not. I would not have been able to accomplish this cosplay if I did XD

WOAH! o.o So much work! XD I can tell you just love preparing your own cosplays!
^^ I think you do a great job at making the stuff you use (like the epoxy and the wooden blades) look real!

Yes! A significant amount of work indeed. Ay, 'tis my craft. The one I am most proud of.
Thank you. I appreciate it!

This is awesome~! Thanks for sharing!! You definitely had some good ideas here, to solve the problem of making some of the parts on the cosplay!
Haha, I really enjoy the small cut-out picture of you next to the game art, so cool!
Now, if you don't mind my asking. Where can I get my hands on that clear epoxy stuff you got? I've never used it before, but it would definitely be beneficial to have in the future!

Oh wow, thanks! And you're welcome. XD
Yes, I think it's kinda cute, lol.
I used Castin' Craft Clear Casting Epoxy [link] . I got it at a plastics store called Industrial Plastics, but that's only in Canada. I saw it at an art store, too, but it was more expensive. Look for some plastic stores around and see if you can find any that have it. To make moulds, I used EasyMold Putty, by the same company as the epoxy. Be warned, though, as it can get pretty darn expensive.

And you're welcome Tim! XD
Dude, I am SO happy to see someone else did this meme. Seriously. So happy.
I didn't realize just how much work you put into this cosplay, so seeing this process is mind-blowing, thank you for sharing!
Also, which face paint did you use the first time? I have some that I have used that has proved pretty tacky, plus it's only ~$10, so that might be a good alternative?

It is a good meme! Thanks for making it. XD Yes, there was quite a bit of work done here. It's definitely a milestone cosplay. Apparently, Every third cosplay I make is more advanced than the previous ones. This being the sixth, I think I will continue this trend with the ninth, which I have already picked out. 
Yeah, that might be a good idea... Although I'd have to get both black and white, doubling the cost. Oh well, such is the life of a cosplayer. XD What brand is it?

I'm glad you think so! And no problem. 
Correct me if I am wrong, but the only black and white parts are the cheek diamond and lips (respectively), while the rest is grey, right? If that's the case, you can just buy grey face paint, then buy black and white eyeliner for the other parts, since they are so small; the eyeliner pencils I use only go for $1-$2 each, so that would certainly cost less.

You probably won't know about what it is, but here's a hint: It's from the game Half-Life 2 (and its episodes).
That is true. I just looked at the Snazaroo colour chart and it looks like light gray will actually match. I already did use white eyeliner for the lips, lol. But thank you for the tip. And would that art store happen to start with O? I actually went looking for it once and couldn't find it. XD I don't know downtown very well.

Aw, you're right I definitely don't know. 
That's good that it should match! I used it for my troll makeup test ([link] ), and I can definitely say that the colour looks accurate to Ghirahim's skin tone. Ah alright, good to know. And no problem.

I hope it turns out great~ Will probably be wearing it at a summer convention next year.
Oh, yes, that looks like it will work. And it looks pretty smooth, too. What did you use to apply it? A sponge?
Hmmm. I don't think I know that one. Do you think you could message me about it? Thanks~

Ooooh exciting! Best of luck with it!
I used a makeup brush! They go for about $10, but you could probably get a cheap one at the dollar store.
Yeah sure, one PM, coming right up!

Thanks! It will feature my most complicated prop yet... In fact, I intend to impliment light, sound, and even mechanical elements into it. ^_^
Oooh, okay. Thanks. And thanks~
