Mercy (Overwatch) Cosplay Progress: November 28 Update
With all the traveling this holiday, I didn't get as much done as I had hoped. However, I started on my halo so I'm pretty excited! Before I get all into that, I wanted to to touch base on my tunic/bodice.
Tunic
The tunic I am making is going to be the structure that holds everything up. It is basic and black so nothing is really special about it.
I used some left over spandex from my Black Widow cosplay and a leotard pattern from Kwik Sew, as shown below.
I didn't make the crotch part of the leotard because there was really know point.
However, I did extend the butt part down in the back.
I did this so I would have enough fabric in the back to do the little zig-zag that Mercy has in the back before her bodice turns into her skirt.
A "business up front, party in the back" kind of thing going on.
Here are pics with the beginnings of my armor piece.
As it stands, the tunic hands a little how in the front. I will be fixing that soon. But that's whatever.
HALO TIME!
I started my quest for halo by measuring my head. Because I can't keep track of a measuring tape to save my life, I tried using my quilting ruler. As it turns out, it was basically halo-tastic for me.
Next step was making a sample one out of foam to get the measurements all awesome.
I obviously needed to cut down the foam thickness up top, but I got the lightning bolt things where I liked them. I also needed to add length. I think I have a good halo going on, but I plan on having some wicked bangs.
I plan on styling my wig (Jeannie from Arda Wigs, which I ordered during their Black Friday sale) in the style of akemi1010xoxo, as pictured below. Therefore, I needed more circle to my halo.
I cut my top halo part in half and spliced together some more length.
It definitely looks more goofy right now than I desire, but I swear it will work out well. Tomorrow I plan on cutting it out of EVA foam and shaping it. That's all for now.
TTFN
