Re: Female Loki Build - In Progress
After a long time, I'm finally able to get back to forward progress on this costume! Past two months have been crazy - working at a ren faire on weekends, normal job during the week, and doing casting of my bracers and necklace in other time. Now finally I'm making new pieces!
I sculpted the belt armour yesterday in two versions. I had a mini freak out upon starting the belt sculpt thought process in which i realized that a belt worn diagonally across the chest fits a man much differently than a woman. And since I'm doing femme loki i'm keeping the womanly figure, so i had to modify the belt armour. I ended up making a curved one to fit over my chest for my own costume, and then also a flat one like in Avengers for people who may want to have one for their regular male Loki costumes.
Now I'm onto the shoulder piece. I'm doing a mockup in cardboard first - I'm midway through drawing out the design on it. I was lucky enough to find a photo that clearly shows the extremely intricate design that exists on his spaulder so I'm not doing a bunch of squiggles and guess work. Unfortunately, I'm a perfectionist, and this sculpt design is crazy complicated so it's probably going to take me FOREVER.
That being said, hopefully I'll be able to post pics of my progress on this later tonight :]

I'm learning that I enjoy bigger pieces where I can use my fingers more than fine work like on the shoulder where I had to use tools for all of it. Still fun though :]
