Stuck on Homestuck Cosplay?
Scarves— commission a knitter!

If you want a realistic, amazing-quality scarf and do not mind paying some money for it, this is what I recommend:

IMG_1613[1]

Go to etsy (or another site where independent craftspeople sell their work). Search “knitting commissions.” Browse through a few shops to determine which knitter (or crochet-er, if you want to go that route) you deem the most skilled or whose handiwork appeals to you. Ask that person politely if they would be willing to create a scarf for you. If so, you can begin to outline things like the dimensions, colors, and such of the scarf. A drawn reference helps.

I would say that people who want to cosplay Roxy and Eridan would benefit most from this tactic, considering that those two characters have scarves that are nearly impossible to find at a normal retailer if you want canon accuracy.

The upsides: you get an AMAZING scarf (if you commission a highly-skilled craftsperson). A good scarf is a finishing touch on a cosplay; you can pass with an okay-quality one, but a REALLY good accessory can really make your costume look so much better.

The downsides: This is not something you want to do on a budget. You have to have a good amount of disposable income. I paid a bit less than $50 for my scarf (although it’s worth every penny). In addition, you must be patient enough to respectfully wait for the craftsperson to actually create the project— knitting takes time, you know.

Roxy Lalonde Long-Range Gun Tutorial!

Hello there. So a bunch of people have messaged me asking to make a tutorial for Roxy’s long-range rifle. I’m not that great at explaining things and I’ve never made a tutorial before, but I figured I’d try to help you guys and do the best I can. A lot of people think her rifle is difficult because it’s pretty big, but it’s actually simpler than making warhammers, in my opinion. First off, this tutorial is really straightforward. I suck at props, but I just paid close attention to the reference picture of the gun and I was able to just do my own thing and make it! That’s really the key: paying attention to the reference picture. Second off, I don’t have many progress pictures of the gun, so I apologize for that. Okay, so let’s get started!

rolal contacts- cloud nine pink by vassen!!

yet another roxy post/review

being someone who has to wear prescription contact lenses, its usually hard to find cheap coloured contacts without them being £40-£60 or so, bUT, i found another option which is circle lenses


i bought mine from pinkyparadise and they are cloud nine pink by vassen and the colour they give iS BEAUTIFUL and really great for roxy!! they were only actually £20 and the fact that they’re circle lenses could be an added bonus for some cosplayers! plus you get a free totally kawaii lense case they even last for a year which is really quite good uwu

i actually have blue eyes and they show up really brightly on mine and i’ve heard they show up great on dark eyes too!! i’d give them about a 4 or 5/5 for comfort because for me they’re pretty comfy even though my eyes arent quite used to the size yet! eue

here’s what they look like (sorry the photo is kinda huge):

image

they’re actually more of a deeper bright pink colour in real life, not as pale as they are there (my dad and i used a lot of light and a reflector for the photo) and i really recommend them if you’re a roxy cosplayer!! vuv
