Yo! I'm a 24 years old cosplayer from Finland.
After my trip to Japan I spent a year doing my service in the Finnish Defence Forces Conscript Band. Currently I live in Jyväskylä and I study Business Management in the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences.

Gildarts Clive - Fairy Tail - WIP 1

Journal Entry: Sat May 12, 2012, 7:53 AM






Yo!

Here you go, first WIP photoset of my next cosplay, Gildarts Clive from Fairy Tail!

What we need:
*One jumbo sheet of wonderflex
*Scissors
*Brushes and Citadel paints
*Black matte spray
*Hot air blower
*Velcro
*Some glue
*Rivets
*Tongs

(Ps. click on the photos to see 'em bigger.)

First, we cut a nice piece of wonderflex and warm it up and roll it on our arm.
Then we add some velcro with glue on the edge.

WIP15

Then we make a strap out of wonderflex and attach it to the arm piece. Add one rivet to make it look cool.
I also added some extra straps on the edges of the arm piece to make it even more cooler and durable.

WIP1

Wrap wonderflex pieces on your fingers to make yourself a gauntlet. Woh, so easy!

WIP14

Take some measurements of your palm and back of the hand and cut two pieces out of wonderflex.
You can also check out where your joints are going and fold them in the other piece like I did.

WIP13

For the elbow pad, I took straps of wonderflex, warmed 'em up and stretched 'em on a ball shaped lamp cover.
Then I just cut my elbow pad out the wonderflex ball I had made.

WIP12

Last, spray everything with black matte spray.
Let it dry.

k&#228;siWIP

Use a small brush and google "drybrushing technique".
Paint everything with different tones of silver paints.
Use some blue paint on the strap thing with the rivet.
FINISHED!

What do you think?

Heya! Just wanted to leave a comment here; your costumes are fantastic. I saw you at school during the Global Business- presentations, and I totally knew that you had to be a cosplayer, haha!

Keep it up, I'll be stalking your deviantart/facebook. ; )
