Made of wax~^^

After extensive melting and pouring and casting.... phew~>_<; Finally, I've got two pieces of wax which I can carve into the shape I need. Hope all goes well from here. The two pieces were made from a single large fat red candle which I had first grated into fine pieces. I then melted them in a metal cup before pouring it into a container. I was a little challenging to look for a container which is close to the final shape I wanted. This was what I've been spending my limited free time doing for the past few days. hehe~ I'll keep this place posted of new changes to the wax pieces.

I'll write up a new report of my new costume production process when everything is finished so you can see how I did "smelting" with wax for these toys... Its quite fun... but tedious~@_@
...>_<... it hurt when melted wax dripped on me by accident.

Can you guess what I am making~?? ^_^

I'm making a new part for a new costume, can anyone guess what it will be? The costume is from a mainstream anime character so most people should know it ~^_^ It has been fun trying to select and use different materials to try and make accessories.

In the first picture, I use styrofoam to cut out the shapes I need whereas in the second image, I'm just using sponge-like foam. The cuts were made using a pen knife, they look neat doesn't it. ^_^

They both belong to the same costume so can you recognise those shapes? hehe... maybe I'll give a prize again to someone who can guess it right~^_^

Chun Li official design gallery added~


Hi everyone, I'm guessing that most people have seen the Chun Li bracelets and cuffs which I made in the earlier posts. I've put them into use in a photo shoot in the official costume style of Chun Li. The new gallery has been added beside the former Chun Li gallery, so please visit the Chun Li gallery once again~^_^

Though the bracelets are kinda filmsy, I was quite satisfied with how it looked in the pictures. Its flaws are mostly not visible and I thought they looked rather hard...hehe. However the images made them look a little smaller but they are really quite big and wide with the spikes. It made typing a little hard during the live chat after the shoot. So most of the time I'm just typing with 2 fingers unable to rest my wrists on the table >_<.

I padded the pouch like things on shoulders with soft materials so that they look rounder, otherwise they would be quite flat. You can take a look at the former Chun Li gallery to see what I mean. The sleeves were also a lot wider so I had to close them up. Oh, in contrary to my previous intentions, I didn't used clipped on buns for Chun Li. The buns actually are holding my hair. Thats the only way since I wouldn't be able to hide the long hair otherwise. I bunned the hair up before putting on the mask so its easier for me... took a while to adjust it after putting it on but it was a lot easier if I didn't do so. Hope everyone likes the shoot~^_^
