Simple Cosplay Scaling Tool

4/21/2015

nifegun cosplay tool
OH HAI COSPLAYERS! 

There is a new tool out there that simplifies scaling of characters to better suit you! It's quite good, and will definitely be using this in all upcoming projects. Sure you could use Adobe Photoshop or Gimp or Inkscape or any other vectory program, but honestly most of the time it's a headache and this simplifies everything. The creator is currently working on clarifying some steps, but for now this is how to get an accurate scale:

1.) Select a good profile-pose of the character
2.) Set the baseline length (editable) to your height converted to inches
3.) Draw your first line through the entire length of the character's "height"
4.) Add new lines, name them, and begin measuring props and clothing! The new length on each line will depict the size of the prop to scale.

This cosplay scaling tool from @Nifegun just changed my life! #cosplayproblems solved! http://t.co/SkT7YAsyU8

Happy crafting! And show Nifegun some love! Donate if you can and if you can't, spread the word! 
He deserves many accolades for making our lives easier
... and by accolades I mean $$ and share this everywhere so that Nifegun is a household name for cosplayers.

Daenerys Targaryen Qarth Costume Pattern

daenerys breastplate qarth pattern
You may remember that I have made a couple Game of Thrones patterns and tutorials last year. They were rudimentary but got the point across, and have helped several cosplayers achieve a Daenerys Targaryen Qarth costume. 

Well I am proud to say that I am re-releasing my first 2 Game of Thrones patterns in a smooth, clean, user-friendly and dare I say... printer-friendly format with optimization in US Letter sized paper (8.5" x 11") and A4 sized paper (210mm x 297mm).

And with watermarks! 
HA HA!
Take that, internets trolls! 

I have plenty more drafted up ready to undergo the digitizing process... including some breastplates and an Assassin's Creed Konnor Kenway sewing pattern. I'm always looking for interesting ideas, so if you have one pitch it!

You know how you picture something in your mind's eye and usually you fail horribly but other times it comes out exactly how you imagined it? Well I have finally FINALLY gotten around to learning some new things and I am very proud of my new work! Using a combination of several programs I pieced together what I consider a solid pattern, worthy of providing costumers with a good template to work from.

Full patterns available for download:
  • Daenerys Targaryen Qarth Dress here
  • Daenerys Targaryen Qarth Breastplate Armor here
  • Cersei Lannister "Battle of Blackwater" Breastplate Armor here

It’s my first attempt at vector art! I’m planning on using these to display my pattern that I created and used in making my costume. I am working on a printable PDF pattern to make available for download to sew/craft your own.

Daenerys Qarth Breastplate Assembly Walk-Through

2/15/2014

daenerys breastplate pattern
I wanted to release the tutorial for my breastplate pattern for a while now. There are many tutorials on the internet for creating props and costumes, but not any (that I've seen to date) for creating this specific piece. This is a step-by-step walk-through, the only catch is that it follows along with my pattern. 


For this you will first need the pattern.


Now, you can approach this one of two ways:
  1. Make your own pattern, and use my guide merely as a reference.
  2. Or you can purchase my pattern and follow assembly instructions.

My purpose for releasing this is to give the people who do buy my pattern a concise preview of the difficulty of assembly, as well as tips and tricks before they get started on their own. I am not affiliated with Game Of Thrones. This is something I created for a costume I cosplayed. 

If you liked this, check out my Daenerys Qarth Dress Pattern too!
Warning: Picture-heavy!
