    Cosplayers, I need your help! -Will post progress as/if it comes-


    So, I'm very interested in doing a Shiva cosplay! But My last attempt at making a cosplay (Garuda) didn't go so well, so I thought maybe I'd ask for help this time (Plus I'm not in as big of a rush as I expect not to wear this for at least a year).

    I figured I'd try to work on her horns(?) first, then slowly make my way down the body.

    Where are some good sites where I might be able to get patterns for..let's say, her popped collar/cape?

    What kind of materials do you recommend for her outfit? Silk or Sheer Fabric for the back part of her cape(?) seem plausible. But her outfit is what's confusing me the most...I'm not even sure how I'd approach it...

    I figured foam might be easiest for the horns (Since I dont want anything heavy on my head)

    I'm a huge amateur when it comes to creating cosplays, so I know I'm probably getting way to deep over my head, but I remember having a lot of fun creating my garuda cosplay, even though it didnt come out so well.

    Also not sure what to do about her boots...

    Any help/advice is welcome! (Besides "Give up while you're ahead" lol)

    I'd recommend going to cosplay.com. They have tons of forums about different aspects of cosplays and the construction of them. They probably won't have the patterns for what you're looking for specifically, but if you post that picture and ask, I'm sure you'll get several suggestions about how to go about creating all the different pieces. I've found it very helpful in the past. I hope it helps you, too! ^.^

    Ah, but will facing north-by-northeast at 2:45 a.m. while the moon is a waning crescent result in a 27% increase in your chances to synthesize HQ mythril ingots!? That is real the question! ~Fernehalwes~
