I Feel Like I'm Nowhere Near Done But I'm Rly Locked In And Switching Between Working On The Helmet And Working On The Ttrpg Which Helps - Blog Posts

cosplay wip that's actually my second try :) first try i used a pattern from a youtube video and got to the stage where the two helmet halves were individually glued but were so missha and the edges were so uneven that i scrapped it and made my own pattern for which i of course decided to first bulk up my styrofoam head thingy with glue and paper (bc aluminum foil felt too uneven and was difficult to even keep on the head) which took like two months i think (including breaks bc i did not work on this thing every day) and then another like two weeks for pattern drafting all in all a very frustrating process so far but atleast i now already have a good base helmet that fits and that i can see out of :) and i also now have a properly written down plan on what to do when and even if I've already gone a little bit off script its a huge relief to have atleast that i also recently finished the fursona mannequin and already have a concept for another more complicated mannequin (a cat jester with an outfit inspired by a 1490s painting) tho i have no idea when I'll actually start working on that bc i also currently am working on a funger ttrpg based on an existing funger ttrpg but i want mine to be based solely in the dungeon and time of f&h1 so I've been copying and rewriting and comparing with the game wiki and game files a bunch of things lately i feel like I'm nowhere near done but I'm rly locked in and switching between working on the helmet and working on the ttrpg which helps with motivation
