Anonymous asked: Yay!!! I have a question! Okay, so I'm working on a Vriska outfit, and I would like to know. Do you think her shirt is a tank top, or a long sleeve? I was opting for tank top, but I'm not sure. Second question would be her hood. (I'm also doing godtier.) I haven't seen ANY good references to the back of her hoodie. Would you be so kind as to provide one for me? Thank you!

Anonymous asked: I might be cosplaying Terezi soon, and I was wondering. Is it worth it to get red contacts, even if I have the glasses, and the contact doesn't cover the full eye?

siberianninja asked: I will be cosplaying Cal at an upcoming convention in October. My eyes are not blue. After browsing looking for good, affordable contact lenses i found ColourVUE lenses. They're affordable and look fantastic. They seem a little too good to be true...your thoughts?

Anonymous asked: I have a question that may boil down more to personal taste than accuracy, but I would love an answer -- my girlfriend and I are going to be cosplaying rainbow drinker Kanaya and grimdark Rose next spring. We've got ample time to get costumes together and are planning on going all-out. My big question is this: should I purchase a blonde or white wig for Rose? There've been great Rose...

For those of us cosplayers who are pretty tight on money and aren’t willing to shell out 40 or so dollars for a pair of shoes for a cosplay, a good way to get accurate shoes is by going to Wal-Mart or whatever bargain store’s in your area and getting plain white shoes in the style you need, and sharpieing them to death. It takes at least 3-4 sharpies for an entire shoe depending on how...

Anonymous asked: I'm in the planning stages of a Tavros cosplay, but I'm kind of hung up on how to make his robo-legs. I've seen people make them from cardboard and just painted them the right color, but that seems rather bulky and uncomfortable. Do you think getting a pair of silver tights or leggings with matching shoes and shorts and drawing the robotic details on them would look okay? Or if...

little-big-dipper asked: Oh god I feel so dumb for getting them mixed up X'''D so many Vriskas x.x But thanks for the advice! One more thing, I was considering making the dress, but stumped on the type of fabric would look good. At first I thought somthing shiny would be nice but after seeing omgpleasestopcosplaying's blog, she seems to hate the shiny fabric in cosplays. What do you think?

regarding that last post about eridan’s scarf: the scarf actually matches what shows up in several of eridan’s “hero mode” photos. his scarf actually shows up two different ways in the comics, one the way you described it, and one with the shoes-blue and black.

Eridan's scarf-other options
To the person asking about Eridan’s scarf - the scarf on Amazon is very similar, but Eridan’s actual scarf is colored the blue that matches his pants and a lighter blue. I’ve found two ways of making his scarf that are very simple and only require a sewing machine and a little bit of fabric.
(For those of you who don’t know how to use a sewing machine or don’t have...

If anyone has trouble finding or making Kanaya’s skirt, there’s a tutorial here.
I made her skirt by making some modifications to this pattern before I found the tutorial.

underwaterascension-deactivated asked: I really want to cosplay as Terezi but there are just 2 things that have been bothering me. 1. I have some acne around my face (not much really) and I was wondering what make up i could use that wouldn't clog my pores, but will still look good. Also, I'm kind of on a budget, and I don't know whether to buy a black wig or keep my hair as it is. The only problem there is, my hair is...

Anonymous asked: hey, not sure if this was already asked or not, but i wanted to get those vampire shades things, but because i wear glasses my mom guessed that they wouldnt fit over them, so we thought that probably we could take see through red plastic stuff and make them able to clip onto my glasses. any tips on that?

Anonymous asked: I plan on cosplaying Vriska, but there's no way I can buy a wig because I have no money of my own and my parents think buying a wig is silly.

southafricans-deactivated201206 asked: Hi! I'm planning to go as Eridan for Halloween this year, which will be my first time EVER cosplaying. I have short dark brown hair which I could easily style as Eridan's hairstyle. However, I've noticed that you strongly recommend buying a wig. Is it really worth it to buy a wig if I'm just doing an informal cosplay and can create the same color effect with temporary hair dye?

Anonymous asked: Okay, so I looked through the Kanaya tag and couldn't quite locate this. I'd like to cosplay her most recent outfit, the red dress as seen on the Homestuck wiki for her. I was curious as to what methods you had for a possible pattern, her belt, and such. Thanks so much!

ricky-fitness asked: Ah! Thank you for answering my question! ;v; Um, my other question was; my hair is very short [to my chin] and the ends flip/curl up -- so I was wondering if that was good enough for a Terezi cosplay? All I would need to do is dye it and style the bangs, I think. Overall, it /seems/ to be Terezi enough... Yes? No? I would really love to avoid spending money on so many wigs o: Thank you!

Mod note: I wouldn’t suggest doing Gamzee makeup exactly how he does it (it should be a bit cleaner unless you’re doing sober Gamzee) however his tricks for shading and lining where you want the dark spots to go are helpful.

Anonymous asked: so um. I'm cosplaying alive Aradia and I've got everything I need for it but a wig. I wasn't going to use a wig because my hair is already curly like hers is supposed to be but its brown and I can't afford a wig right now. Do you think it would look fine? You know, with the grey makeup and everything?

In case you can't get a full zentai
I found this tutorial on how to make just a zentai hood so if getting a whole zentai suit is not in your budget you could always make the arm socks,wear stockings, and the hood :3 You would need to get a stretchy fabric (at least 50% according to the tutorial) so it suggests stretched lycra~

peixesticks asked: Any Feferi skirt patterns around? I'm not a very good sewer, so it would be kind of nice to be able to follow a pattern, heh. Also, about her goggles; do you think it's a better option to use actual swimming goggles, or alter a large, round pair of sunglasses? It seems like goggles could be detrimental to the make-up, even if they are more close to canon.
