My next goal is a white pair of swan-shaped wings & a lighter version of my raven ones, will be revisiting the arm-cover then and actually building it to test my designs (and get better photos of the process).
After that? COMMISSIONS...
Do you know this cosplayer? EDIT: Well, now I do! Thanks jay-fruit~
Everything but my shoes and gloves, where crafted by hand or otherwise altered (i bought some pants and a shirt but cut them and glued things and yeah )).I like how they used those arm loops to keep the wing in-line with the arm, and the spikey felt style of the whole costume makes the arm-to-wing transition very well done.The costume itself took about half a month, its mostly felt, sewing, hot glue and and a bunch of imagination
The wings are made out of foam board and poster board. Each feathers is glued/sewn to a metal wire, which either was attached to an alligator clip, and then to a long elastic band, OR was bent in curved, so that it would “hook” around a bolt. The bolt was attached to my gloves, and the elastic band was attached to the bolt. The opposite end of the elastic was sewn to a harness. I sewed a fishing wire to the first feather on each wing, through each primary feather (heavy duty sewing instead of thread). The feathers would then pivot on the bolt when i pulled the first feather.
Also: It took around a month and a half to make and it took 10 spray paint cans to paint the wings. They weren’t very heavy, just difficult to hold poses for longer periods for pictures xD
Tumblr Source includes more photos
All this needs is some LED’s or strobes and they’d be set to steal the stage. Or a rave.
Keep on truckin'~
