cosplay – AIPT

Whether you’re new to cosplay or a grizzled old veteran, there’s always an opportunity to learn something new. I dropped in to New York Comic Con’s Cosplay Armor & Props panel to find out what some of the best cosplayers in the industry are doing today. All-star cosplayers Lua Stardust, Joanna Mari, Hooked on Phoenix, Becka Noel, Spectra and Dhareza Cosplayza led an insightful and fun discussion. I learned some of their favorite tips and tricks for building, painting, and storing cosplay, as well their preferred materials and tools for the job.

Building a body dummy

Becka – Wrap yourself in saran wrap so your skin can breathe, have a partner duct tape you. After an hour and sweating profusely, you have a nice second skin you can cut off and stuff with newspaper to use as a mannequin.

Joanna – I do the exact same thing. Make sure you have a partner to cut you out of there, otherwise it’s not a good time.

Lua – A bra underneath is really helpful to maintaining breast shape.

Becka – Anytime you’re making a pattern of your own body, you really want to use tight clothing to ensure the shape is accurate to your body.

Dhareza – Cardstock and craft paper is a great method to draw patterns on yourself and see what they’ll look like beforehand.

Spectra – I think this is a good method as well. My roommates aren’t confident of me using duct tape and scissors on myself. My personal preference is card stock over duct tape.

Hooked – I prefer duct tape, but be careful, I’ve lost several articles of clothing with this method.

Construction phase

Dhareza put together an informative and hilarious video on the construction phase of building a body dummy and some great tips & tricks

Spectra – I love working with Eva Foam. My roommates hate it because it’s everywhere in my apartment. I’ve been using Eva Foam for so long, that I’m used to it and comfortable with it, which is why I use it over Worbla.

Becka – I love working with Worbla because it’s a very forgiving material. You can use 100% of the material, there’s no waste. You can use all of the scraps to create little details. It has an adhesive that’s worked into the material so you don’t have to use glue with it. One of the things that’s really nice about it is the longevity. In five years my armor will look the same as it does now, whereas Eva Foam won’t last as long or hold up as well. I also find Worbla more form fitting to the female form.

Dhareza – The same tools you use when working with Worbla are used when working with Eva Foam, but the effect the tools have on the material is very different.

Joanna – One of the biggest reasons I love Worbla is it’s so versatile. My Wonder Woman breastplate was molded over a mannequin and I took a lot of tools to it to get the right shape. The scraps can be used to create almost anything. With Eva Foam scraps you can’t do that.

Lua – I used Worbla to make a little shop of horrors plant. There’s a ton of small details like teeth, vines, and leaves and it was made almost entirely from Worbla scraps.

Painting phase

Joanna – I like to prime my Worbla before painting, it helps the paint to adhere and gives it a better surface. I’m a big fan of decard paint, it has a great texture and color to it.

Lua – For painting my props I use a lot of basic acrylic paint. I want it to look basic and messy, not metallic.

Dhareza – Spectra How did you get the pieces to stay on?

Spectra – A lot of pieces had straps to keep them in place. The entire armor is actually waterproof. I used a combination of hot glue and elastics sewed to vinyl to attach the straps.

Dhareza – There’s a lot of techniques to keep your armor pieces on you. Some people glue the pieces onto spandex suits, but that can be really messy. I’m a big fan of using buckles and rivets to secure my armor pieces with Chicago screws.

Becka – The first costume I made with Worbla I glued elastic bands to the back of Worbla to keep the pieces on me. After that, I started to punch a hole in my armor, put the elastic through the hole, glue it to the back of the Worbla and then glue another piece of Worbla over that so it’s fully adhered.

Joanna – It’s a fabric, po-fur. It’s from a store called fabric empire. The easiest way to attach it was hot glue. I made this two years ago and it takes a lot of tugging to get it off. There are probably other ways of attaching it, but I found this method really easy to use.

Last step before you get to comic con

Joanna – Step one is trying it on. I’ve made a costume before and didn’t try it on before arriving and when I did everything broke apart. I needed a lot of help getting it back together. So now I always ensure everything looks good and fits properly before the day of the con.

Q&A with the audience

For a person who wants to get into cosplay, what site would you recommend going to for supplies?

Hooked – Cosplaysupplies.com

Lua – Amazon and a general hardware store.

Spectra – T&T Cosplay supplies

Becka – If you’re based in or around New York area, that’s a place called Manhattan wardrobe supply. They just opened a new cosplay section in their store, they sell tons of supplies and I’m working with them to get classes going for using Eva Foam and Worbla.

What do you use for primers with armor before painting?

Joanna – Several different options depending on the material. A lot of people use plasteda with Eva Foam.

Becka – With Worbla you’re looking for something that’s very flexible. Anything that has a rubber coating. Mod podge and flex-bond are both great and you can use layers and wet sand it with sandpaper. Sandpaper will give it a glass smooth surface. For Eva Foam I like flexi-paint. It’s a non-toxic rubber paint and it’s amazing since you can use it indoors.

How do you transport your cosplay to conventions?

Joanna – I use hard-shell suitcases. You don’t want your armor to break in your suitcase and without a good suitcase, it will. I wrap all my armor in bubble wrap to give it an extra layer of protection.

Becka – I try to make my armor in multiple pieces so I can easily break it down and store it in my luggage.

Dhareza – I like to make a big chest piece and store all my other pieces inside of it for protection. A lot of cosplayers will print out a letter to TSA explaining what’s in their bags so it doesn’t get broken and people aren’t alarmed by it.

Sometimes as a beginner it’s hard to know where to start for learning a particular skill set that you’re interested in. What do you recommend as a resource?

Collective response – Youtube

They say in life there nothing is certain but death and taxes. With Comic-Con I think it’s safe to say nothing is certain but cosplay and comics. With over 150,000 people in attendance at New York Comic Con this year, there were cosplayers as far as the eye can see. But there was one cosplayer in particular that I knew I wanted to interview before the weekend was over: Erica Fett!

Erica has been on my radar for some time now. Not only is she a stunningly beautiful model, but she’s also a comic book fan, gamer, cosplayer and huge Star Wars fan. The cosplay gods smiled on me as I was able to catch up with Erica and talk cosplay, horror movies that are so bad that it makes them so good… and of course Star Wars.

AiPT!: Tell us about where you’re from and how you like to spend your time when you aren’t doing photo shoots, creating cosplays or attending conventions.

Erica: A lot of my spare time, when I have it, is spent with my dogs and traveling. I have a lot of e-mail correspondence and since I’m a one person team it takes up a lot of my time. But most of the time I work out, I’m not crazy about it but it’s just one of those things I do because I feel like I have to. [laughs] I much prefer eating pizza and Netflix binging. I watch a lot of anime but there’s still so much I have to catch up on. I’m only on season two of Inuyasha, but I did finish Castlevania, which was amazing.

AiPT!: The mini-series!? It was so good but I was disappointed by how short it was.

Erica: Four episodes! They end it at the best point and ugh it’s so good! I think they’re coming out with another season but I hope it’s more than four episodes this time. It’s beautiful, reminds me of Vampire Hunter D. Beautifully illustrated, Vampire Hunter D is my favorite.

AiPT!: Do you have any rituals you follow when you arrive in a new city for a convention? Whether it be shopping, a good restaurant or sightseeing?

Erica: Usually the first thing I do is always look at food, I definitely like to try a ton of different foods. Secondly I would say shopping is probably pretty big, I like to find out what stores are around us. But most of the time we don’t really have a lot of time for that stuff, so it’s convention, food, pass out [laughs].

AiPT!: I know that you enjoy Netflix and bad horror movies. It’s also one of my favorite past times. What’ve you been enjoying from the depths of Netflix horror section lately? My latest was Beyond the Gates.

Erica: Yes! We just watched Gerald’s Game and Little Evil. Gerald’s Game is a Stephen King movie and it just came out on Netflix, it’s actually not that bad.

AiPT!: I love me some awful Stephen King movies and I don’t know that one. Cat’s Eye and Sleepwalkers is my jam.

Erica: Oh god Tommyknockers! [laughs] They’re so bad, but they’re so good.

AiPT!: In one of your YouTube videos from February of last year, you said you have around 41 tattoos, three coverups and several tattoos that’ve been reworked. I love tattoos as well. I’m curious, what’s your latest project?

Erica: The newest thing that I’m doing is filling in my right arm, my sleeve. The next thing after that is working on my right thigh. I have a Dracula piece that’s half done so I really want to get that finished.

AiPT!: Old school Dracula?

Erica: Keanu Reeves and Gary Oldman Dracula.

AiPT!: Out of all the characters you’ve cosplayed as, which one do you align with the most from a personality standpoint?

Erica: Oh gosh. I’m trying to think of all the things I’ve done. I like Sailor Mars but she’s a little bit sassy and I’m not sassy. Here’s the problem, I always pick characters that are sassy and mean.

AiPT!: Is that something you wish you could be?

Erica: I wish I could be sassy! I always pick sassier and stronger characters because I’ve always been soft spoken. It makes me feel like I’m actual make-beliving. So cosplay for me is making-beliving and getting into a different persona. But yeah I love Sailor Mars, I’m just not as sassy [laughs].

AiPT!: You’ve traveled across the country and the world through modeling, conventions, cosplay and met countless people. What’s the strangest or most surreal situation you’ve found yourself in through your work?

Erica: Umm I still get weird when people recognize me. I feel like a normal person that just dresses up. When people recognize or tell me they like my work I still react with “Oh my god!”. So for me getting recognized is definitely very surreal and makes me feel so blessed that people appreciate what I do.

AiPT!: What would you say was your biggest fan-girl moment?

Erica: I did meet Michael Rooker actually! I was dressed as Poison Ivy and I approached him with “Hey I’m doing a video blog, is there anyway I could get a picture with you?” and he immediately says yes, grabs my phone, grabs me and I’m saying to myself “This is so crazy!” He was just so cool.

AiPT!: He’s got a very unique personality [laughs].

Erica: Yeah! I love it though because there’s nothing worse then when you meet someone and they’re mean. They’re not lively and you’re like “awww man”. You have these expectations for these people and I get it, it’s exhausting to be around people all the time. But yeah meeting him was amazing, he was so far beyond my expectations.

AiPT!: Anyone that hears your name knows that you’re a big Star Wars fan. I know it’s very important to you. There’s a little over two months until The Last Jedi is upon us. Are you theory crafting with your family and friends? Or are you trying to avoid all of that and go into it blind?

Erica: So I’ve heard a lot about these conspiracy theories that Rey and Luke are related somehow and that Rey and Kylo are brother and sister. There’s a theory that I came across saying Han wanted Kylo to kill him as it was the only way to push Kylo to the point where he could be redeemed. So many theories out there [laughs].

After seeing Rogue One I thought it was ok. But I’m going into The Last Jedi thinking this is going to be pretty awesome. Fingers crossed. I feel like it’s going to be good, but I’m waiting to see where they’re taking the story. I just want a good story, it’s all I want.

AiPT!: My friends and I have talked about it a lot. I want that goosebumps feeling.

Erica: Exactly! Being able to feel that and say “OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME!”. A lot of people feel that with Star Wars. It brought so many people that feeling. So I’m hoping they deliver [laughs].

AiPT!: I saw that you have something like 80+ Star Wars LEGO sets. I loooooove the new LEGO Snowspeeder, it’s the pride and joy of my collection. I was curious what your favorite is?

Erica: I don’t even own my favorite! I’ve always wanted the LEGO Death Star, but the problem is it’s like $500. Why?! Why do you have to be so expensive LEGO?! But my personal favorite that I own right now is probably my Hoth collection. I basically have an entire Hoth scene; the Wampa, the speeders, tauntaun, everything. I kind of want to do a Christmas thing where I set it out on my mantle and it’s all Hoth. That’s my Christmas village! That’s Hoth!

AiPT!: I’m honest enough with myself to recognize that I’m a total weirdo. It turns out there nearly everyone is! What’s one quirk or habit you have that falls into the weird category that people may not know about?

Erica: I do things in threes. I’m not necessarily OCD, but if I’m making coffee in the morning I’ll do three scoops of sugar. Or if I’m doing shampoo it’s three scoops. Anything it’s always in threes. I dance a lot, I can’t dance though, I have no rhythm.

AiPT!: What’re you most looking forward to this weekend? A panel? A signing? Lightsaber training class?

Erica: So actually this is my last day here so I don’t have a lot of time to be in the convention because I have shoots, interviews and signings. But tomorrow I don’t have tickets to the convention so we’ll walk around the city, do all the cool New York stuff that we don’t get to do in Columbus, Ohio. And get some food! I want some ramen really bad [laughs].

AiPT! attended New York Comic Con over the weekend and one of our biggest takeaways was the incredible amount of talented cosplayers in attendance. We took tons of pictures and met so many friendly cosplayers that were nice enough to let us feature their hard work. We’ve had to create three separate posts to ensure we could feature all the pictures we took. In this gallery our focus is to feature all the film and television cosplayers we met. Enjoy!

When photographs of Amber Heard as Mera in upcoming DC film Aquaman (2018) first surfaced, the Queen of Atlantis and wife of Aquaman’s appearance was markedly different from that of Snyder’s Justice League:

Heard as Mera in Justice League

Heard as Mera in Aquaman:

Most noticeable? The colors: Aquaman-iconic bright green and gold. Snyder’s films have been known for their drab, muted-color aesthetic — so director James Wan’s more vibrant, flashy approach to Aquaman is a welcome shot in the arm. That’s why when cosplayer Calypsen devised the following Mera costume and looked like she stepped straight out of the film — we took notice:

Added sleeves and some details on a suit. I don't know why the light in my bathroom makes the fabric look more blue-ish but in daylight it's really green now it's time to paint the pattern and make the gold parts. This time to try it on I didn't wear my wig so you can see my real hair which is unfortunately too short to use for a cosplay. #mera #meracosplay #aquaman #justiceleague #dc #dccomics #cosplay #cosplaygirl

“Your back is your one big blind spot!”

It could be argued that cosplayer Kate Sarkissian is as skilled at her craft as Yoko is with her rifle. Whether she’s wielding a long range sniper rifle or a roll of EVA foam, she never misses her mark. On top of that she even exhibits proper trigger discipline!

Here is a badass pic from @jhaasphoto I shot at Sac-Anime. I have TWO that’s right two new cosplays I’m shooting this Tuesday. I can’t wait to show you guys!! #cosplay #cosplayer #photography #anime #yoko #sniper #girlswithguns #redhead #gurrenlagann #yokolittner #tbt #throwbackthursday #sacanime

Lynx already blew our minds with this Garona Halforcen cosplay, so it’s no wonder that she’s done it once again with the rogue champion and daughter of legendary Defias Brotherhood founder Edwin VanCleef:

“Get in there, I’ll keep you patched up.”

We’d feel safe knowing cosplayer and make-up artist extraordinaire Madd Joey is the one watching our backs in battle, based solely on how impressive and accurate her Ana/Captain Amari cosplay is:

For the last few months I've worked on creating one of my Dream cosplays as Ana Amari from the video game Overwatch. Balancing two jobs left me with little time to actually sit down and complete the body suit, foam work, finishing the 3D print etc but it's done!!!! Thank you very much @neziki for the photo. @habiteer_workshop for the amazing rifle 3D prop and @_redcosplay_ for the well crafted #captainanaamari jacket #newyorkcomiccon #nycccosplay #anaamaricosplay #overwatch #overwatchcosplay #blizzardentertainment #overwatch #girlgamer #AnaAmariMain @omniccosplay #blizzcon #blizzardgames

“Hsss, ouh là là!”

While her skin might be blue and her heart’s made of ice, Dawaifu’s Widowmaker cosplay is red hot. The attention to detail on the armor is fantastic, especially considering it’s this cosplayer’s first time using the foam material. So clear the blackjack tables, avoid King’s Row and as the french say Cherchez la femme!

A simple repost because I miss my beloved Widow. I won't be bringing her entire set to Katsucon but I will have my bunny suit! . . . #katsucon#katsucon2017#katsucrunch#sundayfunday#cosplay#cosplayer#widowmaker#widowmakercosplay#overwatchcosplay

“By the light of the Moon.”

Just in time for Blizzcon ’17 comes the latest World of Warcraft cosplay from Narga, whose attention to detail never fails to astound. Here she reps her favorite WoW race, the Night Elves, with this epic Tyrande Whisperwind getup. The high priestess of the goddess Elune has never looked better (and don’t forget the real owl she utilized for the shoot):

Finally my dream came true! Tyrande photoshoot with a real owl! I had this idea for years and we finally did it! Owl's name is Dusk. Suits to Night elf's pet, isn't it? Interesting fact: my father was assistant during the shooting. Actually he is the person who guilty in my current Warcraft addiction. XD He showed me "Warcraft III Reign of Chaos" when I was 9 or 10 years old at it has had a huge influence on me. Since then Night elves became my inspiration. In 13 I even asked my mom take me to the archery lessons. I explored WoW as MMORPG years later, in 19. But I never stopped loving Warcraft. My heart is forever in Azeroth. And today I'm trying to bring my favorite fantasy world in real life through cosplay.

"Call of the Wild". My dream photoshoot happened this summer – Tyrande with a real owl! I really love how @kmitenkova catched atmosphere of fantasy Night Elf forest.

“You’ll float too.”

You know those myriad It memes on the internet right now featuring Pennywise saying something’s down there in the sewer with him and Georgie clambering to get down there in a furor? Thanks to Kristen Lanae’s genderbend rendition of Pennywise the Clown: we get it now.

You’ll float too 🤡 This was such a fun thing to do on stream last night and I can’t wait to do a real shoot next month! Next time it’ll look better because I was tipsy last night I also need to get new yellow/gold contacts because mine have dried out.

Cosplayer Irina Meier, AKA Captain Irachka, has already wowed us with her Cassie Cage from Mortal Kombat X and Emma Frost from X-Men offerings, so it comes as no surprise that her portrayal of the iconic Tomb Raider heroine is so impressively spot-on:

today I had the most epic photoshoot in my life hahaha. I fought with this bear. Maybe I'll win an Oscar as Leonardo Dicaprio P.S. This bear is not drugged!!! He was saved by people and he lives with them since childhood. Maybe it's difficult to believe how bear can lives at home, but.. don't worry! it's Russia 🤣 #bear #laracroft #laracroft2013 #laracroftcosplay #tombraider #tombraider2013 #tombraidercosplay #cosplay #cosplayer #games #videogame #gamecosplay #lara #animals #russia

Lara Croft is very special character for me, because I usually take her costumes to different counties. Pyramids in Mexico ( I'll come back to Chichen Itza one day and make professional photoshoot!!!❤️), then Thailand beaches. It's really cool that I had a chance to make photos in real locations from Tomb Raider games!

Travel and cosplay two of my favorite things. I regret that I didn't bring my Lara costume to Kamchatka. There are too many locations for the photoshoots. Reminds me of #tombraider2013 ! This photoshoot in Thailand was one of the most difficult because of sun. It's not comfortable to wear the costume, wig and tons of cosplay makeup, but I really love the result. Better to do something than not to do and then regret about it, right? #Lara #laracroft #laracroftcosplay #laracrofttombraider #tombraidercosplay #TombRaider #tombraiderunderworld #underworld #swimwear #swimsuit #beach #thailand #game #games #gamecosplay #cosplay #cosplayer #girlswithguns

For the smallest state in the country, Rhode Island sure managed to pack its Convention Center for the 2017 edition of Rhode Island Comic Con. And while I’m not crazy about massive crowds, moving at a snail’s pace was all the more tolerable because of all the creative cosplayers attending this year’s show. Doctor Doom to my left, Kylo Ren to my right–awesome all around!

Take a look at just a few of the many talented cosplayers I got to see at Rhode Island Comic Con 2017. Oh yes, and if you see yourself in this post, be sure to identify yourself in the comment space below!
