(thispost is a bit long but it includes work in progress halloween costume pics :^D)

been working on my halloween costume this past week so i havent had as much time to draw as id like, but im still doing my artsy shite. halloween is always an excuse for me to spend money and make cool masks 4 myself lawl

hoping to finish it this week! thought i might aswell post my progress for anyone who might be interested in my non-digital art-stuff =)

i sorta panicked that i had no costume and started brainstorming and drew this puppet-y theatre mask guy i had in mind and thought it looked sick

later i did some tests w colour and went with red/yellow/blue, ive always loved primary colours (yeah yeah theyre not the "true" primary colours or whatever i knooww)

its also much easier to paint something blue without having to do 10 BILLION layers like with white, so blue hat ftw lol

ordered a cheap costume party jester hat which i then stuffed and painted, switching out the bells 4 the pompoms like in my original sketch

if your curious how i painted the fabric: i coated the fabric of the hat with a pva glue (atleast two layers, and extra layers on the seams), then painted it with acrylic paint mixed with modpodge so the paint is bendable once dry and doesnt crack.

as for the mask, its still very much in the works.

but im close to finishing it now =D

just needs a few touch ups which ill likely do tommorow, then i just need to paint it. other than that the sculpt is more or less finished.

its also made custom so i can wear my glasses underneath the mask! im borderline legally blind without my glasses LMAO walking around on a dark halloween night with mole vision would be pretty spooky tho.

thats all so far! ill post pics of the finished costume eventually. gotta finish it first. obviously. also i slashed my finger real good with a craftknife while opening a bottle of glue for this costume so ill be DAMNED if its not good after drawing blood for this fucking thing
