Halloween 2022

Wow, @Lia , so many complexity on details! Purely outstanding!
While gradually scrolling down on descriptions, my mind was buzzing all the way -- I need one look in low-light! Luckly there was one.
The second thought I had -- what if some of those potion pots had some colourful fluorescent (glow-in-the-dark) fillments. Not all of them, but two-three out of five.
AND.. if that effect included to the kit - what if that big cauldron could therefore be emitting more like blazing yellow-orange-red colors insted of that whole palett of rainbowish colors.
Whoops, sorry ... imagination got me carried away. Great work done! -
@sirgu Thank you so much <3
Glad you like all the little details :)Just got back from my first ride session since it's dry. My anxiety flared up dreadful this time and had to cut the ride shorter than I wanted to let my nerves calm and do a few repairs.
2 Potions became unstuck and popped off and the big crystal broke free. Fortunately I have some spare potions pots and the crystal I managed to collect so I can re-attach it.
My hat also kept wanting to blow off so I managed to make a quick strap from some leftover leather but it stretched mid ride needing lots of tightening.

@lia looks great! u must be a hit at the conventions lol! i think if u get ur hands on an afro pick, u could fluff that cotton all the way across so the colors blend in the middle.
XR's got what plants crave!
-
i think it looks fantastic - LOVE the cauldron! and i think your costume also looks great, makeup included. it's halloween, after all -- can it really be TOO much??
-
@notsure I've never been to one, everytime I hear about them it's like the following weekend so I don't go to them, that or they're in the USA D: Would love to though. Get good at making regular costumes and go join all the other cosplayers. A girl can dream~
I wish that'd work. The LED's aren't bright enough to make it all the way to the middle so I decided to settle on the fluff just being a bubbley froth :)
@Franko Thank you :) I've opted not to do the makeup as I was in such a state in the morning I couldn't bare spending more prep time. That said I got 2 rides in and a McDonalds while dolled up so all in all it wasn't so bad.
-
I can't add anything, in fact, I'm almost speechless. My jaw literally dropped at the first photo, then it just turned to smiles. SO RAD! The little details blew me away (happy to get a mention on one lol), really like the potions and flowers and pentagrams.... and of course, the spiders!
Before you even mentioned it, I already knew you were casting spells with the wand lol.
-
@blkdout Thank you :) The spider gem was a cool idea!
Flowers really tied it all together thankfully. Honestly think the end result was cooler than all the sketches :D -
@lia you really make me want to post my costume, but how could i possibly follow up after that incredible costume??
-
@cheppy44 Do ittttttttttttt D:
I want everyone else to see yours too. It was so cool!!! -
@cheppy44 I'm intimidated to follow up with anything now too lol. But, eh just post it, it's the Halloween thread!
-
@lia fineeeee
Here is my costume, It took 2+ days of constant printing to make the shell and over 2 rolls of filament.
I then spontaneously decided to put leds into it so that took a whole nother day to melt/drill out channels for it inside the white bit of the shell
I was making changed to the electronics and the code 10 minutes before I left, but I think it turned out great on my group ride! I will also be in a night parade this upcoming weekend with a bunch of other people in my group ride group.
For now this are the best pictures I have with me wearing a Mario hat and Tanooki tail
Lia still wins by a loooong shot, but I won best costume out of my group :)
ohh and I was blasting mario kart music from a bluetooth speaker when rolling past groups of people in the city. -
@cheppy44 See it's amazing! The shell looks so cool and with the additional LEDs... perfection!
No wonder it won the costume contest. Wouldn't be surprised if it turned more heads than usual rides with how pretty it is <3
-
@cheppy44 Yeah, that's dope!
-
@cheppy44 haha, that's brilliant! you deserved to win.
-
@cheppy44 said in Halloween 2022:
Tanooki tail
-
You ppl r way too awesome!
Great ... how am I supposed to fall asleep with THIS echoing in between lobes of brain? -
Look what we have here, a day early?
Must be feeling generous ;)
I finally finished the video. Soooo many countless nights staying up till like 6am to finish "just a little more" each time. I think it was worth it though :)
Have an extra spoopy Halloween tomorrow >:3
-
@lia Amazing video! I really love all the little details you put into each character and board’s costume. The visual effects are really cool too!
-
@cheppy44 Thank yooou~
Wouldn't have been possible without you keeping me sane these past weeks <3Still have that last Easter Egg to find though ;)
Hint : It's next to one of the others. -
@lia Used to work for starbucks before college, and they let me keep my aprons
Going to be a Starbucks Barista for halloween but I'm gonna to be running away from people in business outfits. (Starbucks union joke because my humor is bad and stupid.)
