Finished the base for the Gremlin bikini!  Only took way too long to make (longer than any of my other swimsuits actually and I am not even done yet!).

Covered myself in Saran Wrap + Duct Tape for Gizmo/Gremlin Swimsuit Pattern

Ever wonder what I do in my free time?  This!

In all seriousness - when it comes to making patterns for form fitted cosplays such as the Gremlin/Gizmos swimsuit I always wrap myself in saran wrap then in masking tape.  Then I get help having the pattern drawn on me in Sharpie.

Here is a series of photos of the ...

Gremlin Booty (bikini bottom progress)

Yes it’s a small article of clothing but this little bikini bottom took DAYS for me to finish mostly because of the 100+ scales that I individually handsewn into the bottoms.

Close Up with it off me... then scroll a bit more down to see the gremlin booty xD

Makeup/Wig Costest - Secret Cosplay

Yeah I wore my regular Ruby rose yesterday... but I also decided to try on my newest wig before leaving to meet up with my friends!

When I was working on the wig - I have to admit that I was kinda scared that I wouldn't be able to make it look like Ruby because the wig was a different style compared to my original wig...

Shortest Skirt Ever + Progress on Secret Cosplay

RWBY 3.0 wig and headpiece progress.  Kinda hard to see but the wig is long and in a low ponytail.  Spent 2 hours trying to get it styled to look like a mature Ruby.  Think I finally got it.

For those curious I used an Arda Luthien...

Thought I co...

Transforming Gremlins Cosplay Concept Designs/Ideas

The idea is to have it be both Gizmo and the Gremlin inspired.  Mostly based off the original Gremlins movie because of the more dark design.  Because its two characters - I am build...
