Captain Marvel costume retouching, done!
🕑 Added 2019-08-30 20:01:09 +0000 UTCHello my Dear Patrons, I'm not forgetting you, at the contrary.
This past week has been something!!!
Indeed on Saturday I ingested a kind of food I usually make in a way I won't get food poisoning, ಠ_ಠ
This time I totally forgot the preparation.... which resulted in.... food poisoning !! ( the Aloïn in Aloe Vera which is a toxic latex) I didn't even panicked because I'm so used to having heavy pain in my stomach that I just though it was the usual stuff even id it was painful as hell.
More than usual.ಠ_ಠ
I still called the poison center 2 days later , they confirmed the poisoning and told me to go to the doctor ( which I had already done and asked blood test for my kidneys and liver without having a clue at that moment I had food poisoning)
Anyway, I'm doing better now with just a bit of nausea and even if the pain is still there , everyday, in my right side.. it's the usual pain I've been living with for 2 years so that's okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
+++++
ANYWAY!
I didn't post much lately , first because I was in pain and then because I don't have much content to share with you.

-But stay with me until the end of this article for a surprise :)-

NOW THE COSPLAY STUFF:
As I shared on instagram, I'm done with that bloody costume of hell: Captain Marvel!
Modifying the pants and vest was not an easy task. The day I received the costume, I found myself on the edge of crying of despair. For real. I cried in fact (ಥ﹏ಥ)
What could I do with this horrible costume? ಠ╭╮ಠ
It was expensive, I though the result would be up to my expectations. How wrong was I! I'm never gonna buy something from a Chinese store again. So I was like deperate, not knowing what to do with it and suddenly I decided I would make something of it, I refused to let down and that my money would not be poured down the drain.
I began the hard work
I'll not show you the sewing of the pants because I didn't take any pictures, there wasn't really much to see aside from me sewing, trying the costume and sewing againand again( for hours until it fits)
I just took this pic from the inside of the vest where I added boning.
The lining had ripped off anyway when I tried it on me the first time, so I decided to go for it and add more rigidity. Then I add to redo the lining:
Then I worked on the gauntlets, if you remember well, I shared with you a wip video :

I did the same with the belt ( no picture)
Gloves:
Working on the leg's armor
Painting almost done:
I added a zipper at the back of each leg and it was done.
Then the feet armor.
Those were the old leg pieces I got with the costume.
All accessories done. I forgot to snap some pictures of the knee pads.
Et voilà !
Now I need the wig and to find the prefect day for the photoshoot :)

I told you in the first lines of this article I had a surprise for you. It shouldn't be long but I'm going to organize a new random draw for 2 kinds of stuff :), which means : gifts for you my dear Patrons \o/ !
Because I hate knowing you here without giving you more then a few pics and thoughts.
One will be Cosplay related and the other will be about drawing . I'll tell you more soon :)
See you soon and be well

I think it's far more than a "retouch" it's a complete transformation! Apart from anything else, it now fits you rather than drapes over you. The contouring of the armour is stunning, I hope you are justly proud of the finished costume, it is amazing. You do know, don't you, that I am content with the "few pics and thoughts." if that is all you are able to post - HOWEVER, the prospect of more is mouth watering! To quote from Grease - "Tell me more, tell me more, tell me more!"
