Ishgard's Okayest Tailor
Jul. 9th, 2023 06:36 amThink I've finished all the actual sewing parts of this costume -- now all that's left is the "metal" ornamentation and the wig. Which I'm scared of. But at least the character's hair style has kind of a "I cut my bangs myself" kind of vibe.
Oh, and I need to find spirit gum out of season :x For the ears.
Every time I do this I think about how basically all clothing in the whole world is handmade to this day and I go insane.
I'm still trying to figure out if I am going to post pictures, and where...I am at least happy that a mask will hide most of my face, both for "feeling weird about my appearance" purposes and for like, not having to do any makeup except my eyes and the forehead scar (which is so cute and actually looks like a scar and not a perfectly smooth anime line, unlike literally every other scar in the whole game for some reason). I went in to look at Honoroit's actual model and did you know he's wearing lip gloss? Incredible.
My friend wants me to go to this meetup where people are exchanging stickers of their characters. Sounds cute but god FFXIV fandom on social media is insane so part of me is nervous.
Also, of course most of my favorite characters in this game come from the Snowy Place and are largely dressed for the weather, when I'm going to a con in the DESERT. I have been to a con in the desert before (Tucson mid-July to be specific) and had to help a cosplayer to her room after she literally passed out from sun/heat (she was fine after a bit of rest so that's good) and I'm afraid this time it's gonna be me.
Nonconathon deadline has passed and I've shaken my gift and now I can't wait to read it X_X And I still need to get on posting some doodles for Multifandom Doodle. It's...hard.
I do really wish it wasn't running on AO3, which is like the worst place to view art, but I don't know what the other options are that don't involve hand-matching with a spreadsheet (there are none, probably).
