Hello everyone! I hope this I the right place for me to ask for some help :)

So I've made a withered Freddy cosplay, but sadly I can't see much in the head, as my eyes are positioned right at the snout part of Freddy's head.

The first thing I've done some years back was making small holes in the snout but I have mike 10% visibility 😅

Next, I can technically see a bit in front of me through the mouth (30% visibility).

But recently I've found a new setup where I could use a phone, put it in the snout part, and plug an endoscopic camera so I could look through the peeking cam !

Tho sadly there were no room left for the cable of the cam to fit inside with the phone :(.

That's why I would like to know if you guys have any ideas I could use to be able to see ?

(I've tried looking for a smaller device to plug the camera, but I just don't know what devices or electronic components I could use to fit everything in the head :( ).

If you've made it to the end of my post, I cannot thank you enough 🙌

So I clear coated this armor last night and didnt check the weather. Woke up to check on it before leaving and it was snowing, like slushy kinda consistency. I clear coated it when it was like 10°C and then temp dropped and only started snowing about an hour or 2 before I checked it. So it had about 7hrs before the snow got on it. I put it in a bin outside (completely enclosed) and a cardboard box (facing opposite to the wind but has 1 side open). Will the clear coated be fine?

Hi !

I'd like to get back into competing soon and I'd like to enter with this cosplay. My concern is that it wouldn't showcase enough enough technique. Lot of sewing but not a lot of crafting.

It's a hanfu that I'd make as traditional as possible. Work with very fluid fabric, hand embroidery, dyeing. For the wig I was thinking of making it semi helmet. Just don't know yet how to make the hair pins.

I feel like it's already a lot of technique to showcase but it's not a lot towards the crafting. Like I don't have any armor, props, etc to make.

I know it's better to make less but clean than a lot and messy. But I'm still a bit unsure and would like you guys opinion !

Im designing a costume for an event and i came across a part of the costume that i want to make stand up and out.

Part of the cape and the horns/points of the hat.

Im new to costuming and cosplay so im not sure what to look up or how to find the material i need

Hey I need some help with the final portion of my Reggie Star cosplay. I am not sure what to use or how to make his facial hair any help would be approached. My cosplay and the charcter in the photos

I really want to do a Neytiri cosplay using body paint instead of a bodysuit.

Which paints would you suggest for best coverage, breathability and least likely to smudge or fade.

I've always heard great things about Mehron. And their Paradise Makeup AQ 30 Color Pro Palette seems like the easiest thing for me to apply knowing my experience ($123.95).

https://www.mehron.com/paradise-makeup-aq-30-color-palette/

But it's pricey, and Mehron doesn't have smaller pallette options to choose from so I can just get the blue shades.

I already have a Glisten Cosmetics Water activated eyeliner palette with a plethora of colors. And this is what I have experience using.

Is buying this Mehron body paint online the right move + seal set spray?

Are there storefronts that may sell individual Mehron colors?

Or is there another brand that has smaller mix+match water activated palettes available before Halloween?

I want it to have healthy ingredients like Mehron.

I'm not into cream-based paints or ones that come in tubes, I'd rather it be a palette.

Does Glisten Cosmetics eyeliner palette work well over Mehron Paradise bodypaint?

Hi I’m trying to make this pyramid head costume better this year and I’m wondering how I should go about it the main thing I want to do is add texture but I’m not sure what to use or how to do it, I also want to improve the color and to be more similar to the one in the next layer but I’m not sure how to go about it I’ll show the current colors I have I have a some money left from my spending habits to purchase some more paint

I dont know what i need give to 3d modeller.

Am I need to make some kind of blueprint or just height and width of my head?

And how can I make backlight of eye?

I think i can use some kind of LEDs for a eye glowing.

Thanks for all who can help me that my first cosplay and I am trying best as I can.

i have been following this tutorial https://www.curlworks.net/extras/how-i-made-my-fursuit to make the upper portion of the head for my nightmare suit cosplay, and have gotten the mini pattern done but dont know how to scale it up, and how to also make sure i scale it up without running out of foam. i have some other pieces but most are either too small, too narrow or too short to make one of these pieces.

I made these a while ago, cardboard, newspaper, modpoge , yarn and paint. Tried to attach them to a headband but it’s not happening. They are heavy so slide off my head and the super glue will crack pretty quickly with movement. How can I get these horns on to my head? I can sew not sure if that’s useful here.
Thank you!!

So I dont have a wig cap, lost it, first time going to a con in this cosplay. Is a wig cap necessary for it? Or would i be okay for galaxyxon saint louis without. Thanks, I need to know if I need to pick one up

Before painting my armor, I decided to do some tests on thermoplastic samples. For the record : I'm using GreenStuff Smoth thermoart. It's a lot smoother than regular thermoplastic.

I also applied latex lace to see how it would react to the painting.

I tried :

- one sample with A-Stand black base, and then A-Stand steel paint, both applied with my aerographe

- one sample with flexbond base, and then A-Stand steel paint

- one sample with latex lace, painted with first A-Stabd black base, then Vallejo blue steel paint, both applied with my aerographe.

The sample that cracked was the one with the A-Stand base, and then the A-Stand steel paint. The cracks appeared almost immediately. It's the second sample I painted, the first was the flexbond, and it did just fine.

What happened ? How can I avoid it ?

Im making a middle brother cosplay and i got about everything. But the funniest part is I cant find any golden chains that are super heavy or super small. Does anyone know where to look for somewhat thick but lightweight chains?

I'm trying to customize a white lace dress to make it more sparkly in a reversible way so I can't add beads or any permanent glitter, would regular body Glitter Spray Last me the day and actually show up or should I not bother buying it?

if it would work, do you have any recommendations?

preferably something that ships internationally because I don't have a lot of crafting resources around

Many a moons ago I (with the help of some friends) made a Nanatsu no Taizai cosplay of Ban as my first and only cosplay. Life got in the way but now I wanna get back into it starting with touching up and improving this one.

My biggest gripe has always been how flat the robe looked. Now I know gravity defying clothing isn't real but I've always wanted to try and make it at least open up a little. I've not tried anything yet but considered maybe a wireframe and trying to conceal it. I wanted to see some other options first though since I like sitting down.

I ordered a cosplay wig that's a bit more purple than I anticipated. I kind of want it to be a touch more warm plum like the shade in the photo I attached next to it. I know they both look very similar side by side since I took the first pic with my flash on my phone, but it in person it isn't as warm. Is there any way I can achieve this with dye? Any specific dye shades and brands would be appreciated. I've never dyed a wig before, so I'd appreciate any tips as well! Just for context, this wig is for Susie in the dark world from Deltarune and it is the M-3 KA053 Red Violet Purple 52cm long layered choppy wig from Kasou Wig.

I'm trying to find the model of headset that Chris uses in resident evil 8, but I was not able to find anything. Anybody have any clue?

On the left is a royal blue jumpsuit I brought because my blind ass saw it as purple. On the right is what I'm trying to cosplay. Can anyone help me find a purple jumpsuit in the same style as the one shown (kind with elastic) or can anyone help me figure out how to dye it to the colour wanted? I have dye for synthetic (jumpsuit is polyester) but worried it'll be too dark since royal blue is quite dark as is

Hello! I'm trying to cosplay ENA from Joel G's web series and game. I have pretty much everything, but... and have hit an issue I completely hadn't considered... I am dark-skinned. More accurately, I'm medium brown, and the primer + Ben Nye Magicake Aqua Paints worked really well for the blue... and barely worked for the yellow. The blue looked so neat and smooth while the yellow was pretty light. Applying multiple layers didn't really do anything but look weirdly clumpy and uneven. My friend tried to apply white body paint, then yellow on top, but it didn't give the proper bright yellow. I wish I had taken a picture earlier to show. It looked sadder than it sounds.

I'm completely new to body paint and have been getting tips from friends, but we hadn't actually considered that my skin color would null a chunk of it. I keep looking for tips on yellow paint on brown skin, but all that's showing is either face paint that's not yellow or yellow eye makeup. We tried both white cream primer and white matte putty primer. It's... been pretty demotivating if this + a lack of resources for my skin color is a frequent issue I'll come across. This felt like it could be a fun introduction to me learning how to wear very colorful or pastel makeup for casual alt fashion.

A friend told me, from his quick search on his phone, that Sunset Makeup Colorful Foundation and/or Snazaroo makeup were recommended. I'd like to get some second opinions before going out on another haul.

Additionally, I would love tips on styling my wig for the blunted cut look. I have a comb, hair straightener, and small scissors you'd probably buy for school but my mom sharpened them recently for me.

Pictured are the current supplies I have. I pretty much have the outfit + gloves/socks ready, though I will need to paint my legs to cover what the socks don't.

I want to be able to recreate this look or at the very least something of the same essence but I am not in the financial position to drop hundreds of dollars on a prosthetic that I will only be able to use once. I have everything else I need for my cosplay I'm just stuck on this. I have sensitive skin so if there's are alternatives that are easier on the skin that would be much appriciated but if there's not I'd still like to hear it anyways

I’m following along this tutorial for Batman armor and I can’t seem to understand how he gets those crisp lines on a single sheet of foam for the top layer of armor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, today I spontaneously bought this fake knife at a supermarket, thinking it'll be a great addition to my Vampire Hunter D cosplay. I'd like it to seem like it's very old and used up tho... Any ideas how I can do that?

Hey y'all, I'm trying to make an Agnes Tachyon lab coat from scratch but I'm not sure how to approach the shoulder pads. How would I approach this? What kind of fabric should I use and how do I size it and sew it onto my coat?

Edit: To clear up any confusion, I mean the brown parts with the blue stripes.
