Here's one last update before SDCC!
I repainted my head piece, did a dark wash, some dry brushing, and highlights/shadows with my airbrush. Makes the costume look a million times more legit now, so I'm really happy I had the time to do it.
After doing the dark wash and dry brushing, but before airbrushing:

Finished headpiece:

I also got my gun made up; I'm pretty happy the results. Definitely not perfect, but considering a) it was made of foam and b) I've never worked with foam before and c) I've never made a gun before, I'm happy.




One day I'll learn that I need to leave more than 1-2 days for sanding. Derp. Sanding is my downfall. :|

Before weathering:

After weathering:

It doesn't stand up to close inspection, haha. But will look good for pictures!
And here's a picture that Joits Photography got of me at AX a few weeks ago, with my newly painted headpiece.

And now I'm packing for SDCC! If any of you are there on Saturday and see me in costume, come say hi!
