A HUGE lil cal cosplaying tutorial!
Welcome to my HUGE HUGE HUGE tutorial on making a Lil Cal cosplay! I only had the shirt for about two months before finally getting around to figuring this shit out, all the while recording my progress with exactly how it was done. And you are reading it! Hopefully this will give some tips and tricks to people who aren’t really sure where to start.
Under the cut because this shit is LONG.
Hello! I'm going to cosplay Lil' Cal, and I already have the blue shirt as a base, but how would I go about putting 'CAL' onto it? And also, for his shoes, I'm going to get some SWEET KICKS and just paint red onto the tips. Do you know if there's any good permanent paint for this? Thanks~
I suggest either using freezer paper (which you can cut and iron on, just google “freezer paper stencil”) or regular masking tape to make a stencil, then painting the CAL onto it with fabric paint. Really easy to do :) As for your shoes, ive found that permanent marker actually does best for painting plastic parts on shoes. You just have to put on a few layers and do it evenly so you don’t see the streaks!
I wanted to cosplay Lil' Cal, but i don't know where to start. I've seen some contact lenses, and im kinda on a small budget so what do you recommend?
I get all my non-prescription lenses from here, and I’ve never had a problem. I like this one for a more natural Cal, or these for a more creepy unnatural doll look.
Make sure you check the quantity and the description, because some are sold as a single contact, and some are sold as a pair.
If you have a prescription and are on a small budget, I would recommend wearing your glasses with the cosplay and taking them off for pictures. Prescription contacts should be ordered through your eye doctor, and they can cost $100 or more.
For the rest of the outfit I would check your local costume shop for some pimp accessories and cheap clown makeup to do your cheeks/draw lines on your face. They’re generally not expensive at all. Good luck!
I just wanted to quickly share how I made my friends horns for her Karkat costume, so it'd be quick :D I carved them down from floral foam, thickly smacked on some spackling paste, they will take a LONG time to dry so I set them out in the sun, filed them back down nice and smooth, put a very thin layer of clear spraypaint over it (just dust it, I would say), candy corn it with acrylics, then a thicker layer of clear spray! I did, basically the same thing to make lil Cal's head and feet
Cool, sounds like a good method! Thanks for sharing! :)
I have been wanting to cosplay the SpriteForm of Lil' Cal. I have some ideas, but what do you think would be the best way to do it? And how do you think I should go about doing the wings?
Well for the wings, ive found a few tutorials. This one is for much larger wings than you need but you could probably alter the tutorial to fit your needs. Here’s another one if you can live through the video. As for the best way to do it, I would take an entirely white outfit and add some orange accents to it. Orange paint at the end of the wings, a bit of an orange tint to the outfit, ect. For the sword I would just take a prop sword, cut it in half, then attach one side to a belt in the front and the back, put it under the shirt, and cut the shirt so it shows through. I would also white-makeup your face.
Hope this helps!
