Bread armor, fish flails, and more!

Costumes and processes to share

Hi everyone, thank you for following me on here — and to my paid subscribers, thank you for supporting me on here!

I’m in the process of preparing another fish tiffin so that I can go through the assembling, prepping, and painting stages with my paid subscribers. While I get that together, I wanted to show you all some works in progress and give my paid subscribers an idea of what tutorials they can expect to see on here in the next few months :)

I have A LOT of costumes I plan on making. For some, I’ll be making just one item, like a helmet or smaller detail, and for others, I’ll be making full costumes. The first ones I’ll be working on completing are the Duck Knight, Sea Barbarian, and Spirit Armor, though some wild cards might jump ahead of them in the line, just to keep things interesting!

For the Duck Knight, I have the helmet completed:

And a bread bag:

But I’ll be working on and showing my process for the rest of the costume, including a baguette sword and other miscellaneous bread-themed armor/weapons, like a big bun shield. Here’s a little sketch to give you an idea:

The fish tiffin I’ll be making with my paid subscribers on here is the first component of the Seaside Barbarian costume I have planned. I’ve also already made shell hand protectors and shell club weapon.

I have a lot of ideas for the other costume elements, including a fish helmet and other sea-themed weapons. I might make a few versions of the helmet because I have a lot of fun ideas, including one based on a goblin shark. I haven’t finalized any designs just yet, but here are some of my sketches:

For the Spirit Armor, the helmet might be the only element I make of the costume. I don’t mind if it stays a bit mysterious. It’s from a dream I had where a glowing spirit was wearing a kind of WW2 allies-style armor. So, I’ll be working towards a final paint effect based on historical references.

I’ll be sharing videos as I paint, add weathering effects, and finish the helmet. The helmet will also have glowing eyes, so I’ll be sharing how I install the lighting components. Here are some inspiration pics for the finish:

Another costume in the works is:

The Radish Knight, or The Turnip Templar. Parsnip Paladin maybe, we’ll see.

In addition to showing the design/making process for the helmet, I’ll also share how I make a radish bag using foam and epoxy clay. It will be similar to this pickle bag:

I also have a short film in the works, so I’ll be designing and making some costumes for that and sharing my process on here.

Finally, I’ll be selling editions of this witch helmet:

Which means making two types of molds: a two-part mold and a shell mold for slush casting in resin. Paid subscribers will get tutorials on how to make those molds, including all of the materials I use. Plus, I’ll go through my painting process for this. Paid subscribers will also get early access to pre-orders once the helmet is for sale.

I’m also planning out future tutorials for illustration and working with felt.

Let me know your thoughts! Which thing are you most interested in seeing?
