Mercy (Overwatch) Cosplay Progress: December 22 Update

I've been working on a variety of bits for my Mercy cosplay, but I've hit quite a few challenges which have slowed me down. On the upside, with great frustration come great creativity!

Speaking of which, after struggling with carving down my wings from EVA foam, I decided to simplicy and layer foam board. Results look awesome if I do say so myself. 

I started by cutting out the full wing. I used the same pattern that I used for my EVA foam, which you can find a link to on my previous posts.

Then I kept adding layers

And BOOM a good looking wing!

I was able to bang out both wings in an evening. I will be reinforcing them with Worbla and attaching them to my harness. I will post an update on that after the holidays once I figure it all out! 

On a different note, I created a Facebook page (https://m.facebook.com/FangirlingOut/) that makes it easier to follow my progress and get updates. That way you don't have to keep checking back on Blogger. Also, I like chatting so feel free to give me a shout!

TTFN

Continuation of Halo Time!

So I took my outline of my halo, which the creation of can be seen on my last post, and traced it out on my EVA foam. The EVA foam is the extra from my wings.

I cut it out and boom! Lovely little halo. The next step is carving it down and shaping it to be more angular and stuff. 

So, I added lines to help keep the center point and make a guide for my angling. 

It is about a 45ish degree angle.

I then tacked it to my foam head and used my heat gun to shape it so it will hold the curve.

And there we go! 

I am going to be trying to work on finishing it up soon. I will probably be covering it in some Worbla and then painting it gold.

TTFN!
