First post woo!! I've been lurking for quite a while and i finally decided to post updates about a build ive been working on. Pharah's Raptorion skin from Overwatch! Ill be wearing the costume to anime expo without light, servos, or special finishes, but i will be adding all of this in to the costume in time for Blizzcon. I'm hoping to enter the cosplay contest!
Here are front, back, and side references:
I have completed much of the patterning for this costume already. Most of it was completed by a lot of trial and error, cutting out pieces to the size i think they need to be, re-cutting and re-drawing over and over again for hours until I got everything right based on my own and pharahs proportions. I don't have a computer program to help me so im stuck patterning everything by hand for this one! each individual piece of the armor has 10-30 seperate pattens pieces so you can imagine how much time its taken me just to pattern ( I think ive clocked about somewhere between 70-80 hours so far.) Becase I am using a method like this, I decided to make drafts out of all of the arm and leg pieces so that I would not waste the higher quality foam that i would be using on the final build. if anyone wants to see the giant stacks of paper that go into a pattern i would be glad to post a picture.
here are the drafts i have finished so far
( i cant figure out how to flip these pictures, forgive me. if some knows how i would love to know)
alright, this is all ill post for my first update. Day by day, or every few days, ill upload what progress i've made, and show the things i did before i started this thread, and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask! I think i will show the torso and wings progress in the next post.
( also, i am unable to use tags on this post, if someone knows a solution please let me know!!)
