WIP for my GACC costume. No cookies for guessing who I’m doing lmao. This is really a LOT of work, and I’m barely even half done! I’ll get started on my other GACC costume stuff tomorrow maybe, if I don’t have to go out or anything.
Gold trim on the edge of the cap. Paper mockup, actual gold trip, and then on both sides. The handicraft glue seems to be holding up well, but I’m not entirely good with working with it, so the right side looked a bit weird at first. The glue, actually.

Drawing draft -> Paper mock-up -> Actual gold trimming -> hat brim done.
Barsburg Logo, which is a downright PAIN in the ass to do, and I’m not even remotely done because of the bloody snakes that don’t seem to fit well in together. The mockup itself took a while because it was just HARD to get both sides of the logo symmetrical (ARGH BARSBURG why can’t you just have a NICELY SYMMETRICAL logo argh. Why couldn’t you guys be like the Raggs Kingdom, their logo is so much simpler…)

Drawing draft -> Paper mock-up.
The snakes here look fine, but they look absolutely horrible when done in gold, so bah. Will re-work, guh.
End result:

The snakes in the centre are missing, and I haven’t glued down the entire logo yet. Might need to make the arms there more defined or something, iunno. Not gonna do anything more on the hat for tonight though.
In other news, shoot today was fairly productive. Fairly. I was mostly dying in heat so badly, and a move to run up the wall = fail. Then again, Spitfire’s not the run up the wall type lollll. Somehow, sunrise shoot wasn’t as sunrise-y as I’d liked, sun was out and I was melting HORRIBLY. My jacket is still drying out now, guh.
I’ll update about the shoot when I get the photos, at least.
