Long time no update! Carbon fiber progress has been slow, but I just finished sewing the bodysuit.

I found the perfect heather jersey fabric. Would you believe it took me 4 hours to paint the sleeves? It was very helpful to have the textures from the game as reference. I tried to emulate the sleeves as best I could based on that.

I used metallic HTV for the little C-shaped details and used a satin stitch for the collar embroidery. I went with an exposed zipper for more of a sci-fi look. Mistakes were made, but I'm very happy with the final product!

What did you use as masking to make sure the lines were straight and there wasn't any bleeding of the paint in the fabric?

I marked where I wanted the lines with chalk, then taped them off with differing widths of tape, rubbed off the chalk, and airbrushed! I am definitely still very very inexperienced with the airbrush so it was still a bit messy.
