-cardboard base

-wooden dowl

-gesso that was sanded back

New Zealand cosplay duckies!

Story behind this being our cosplay contest judge at the Armageddon conventions keeps referring to us as her ducklings. <3 So I couldn’t resist drawing up the Mama!M duck, Mama!A duck and a variety of ducklings. :)

I don’t know why I’m cosplaying Hisoka but YOLO am I right

the colours and costume itself is really cute, so whoops

Thankyou! I completed that project quite a few months ago, and it was a big success~

I’ll try help as best I can, I wouldn’t call myself an expert on making wings but here we go haha.

depending on how the rest of your costume looks, and what you’re wearing it too, might effect how you go about it. If you don’t care about not using your hands, then I would totally go for that kind of method. relying on your arm as a strong ‘joint’ is way more safer than a metal frame.

I would still use the metal rod method like I did for my wings to create that sturdy base shape too.

I would be really super tempted to bolt a pivot point on a plank of wood, and fix that to the back of your hand ( or near abouts ) and have the metal rods of the wing frame come out from there. So when you raise up your hands, the rods all pull into place with whatever material you use for the membrane between them~ and I would have the wing material joining all along your arm material too- to give a wyvern feel to it like in the above picture :)

And latex bonds to just about anything, so it did that naturally! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=519016881460581&set=a.507509802611289.135471.505171666178436&type=3&theater hopefully you can see this image, but basically I had the metal frame laid out on huge plastic sheets, and just flooded the rods with latex. If the latex hadn’t fully joint around the other side of the rods, I just flipped the wings over once they were dry, and carefully filled in the patches it missed.

I hope some of this helps!
