So happy with the wings- less happy with the rest of the cosplay but it's not bad! Kind of want to make another pair of giant wings already, what do you think, shall I try for 5 metre wingspan next time?? Husk has been on my to-cosplay list for a while...

Cosplayers are just so surreal to me. Imagine, a human who has an interest and proceeds to paint their face, glue, sew, cut, and buy materials, and become the character.
Man. That'd be so cool for a dnd session.

Alan Rickman would've loved this tutorial. The wings he wore as Metatron in Dogma weighed so much they fucked up his back.

i love seeing the absolutely wild ways cosplayers use household plumbing and woodworking supplies in their cosplays

[chaoticcow]

These wings look AMAZING. The movement is so animated, love the amount of thought and research you put into your cosplays. I hardly ever find myself interested in the cosplay community but this is one of the few channels I have an absolute exception for.

Ooooh! I have an old backpack from high school, and several old fishing rods in the garage. Plus a couple rolls of that packing foam. Now I *finally* have an easy way to make the wings for my winter fae!!!! I'll just have to figure out a way to hide/incorporate the straps into the outfit. Hmm...

[Codex_of_Wisdom]

Fishing rod wings! That's GENIUS!
And the speed you build your cosplays is dizzying!

[UnhingedBear]

I use that white foam all the time at my job. good stuff. an entire 4 foot diameter roll weighs like 15 pounds. Also do not heat it up. It has basically no thermal mass and just melts. Overall outstanding work, and super ingenious use of material.

[Snow-Willow]

As someone who can't even sew a sock neatly, god tier cosplayers like yourself look like sorcerer mad geniuses to me. This was so fascinating!! Thank you for sharing your art and the process with us so we can get a peak behind the magic. 💜

i have never seen a better looking pair of wings, i’m totally trying out some of those techniques for my aarakocra cosplay!!

[mariel]

I love the flowy-ness of your wings! They came out great. Keeping them so light with fishing rods and lightweight foam was a great idea. And outlining each of the feathers was a nice touch to add some depth.

[DragonGal]

These wings are beautiful!! I would love to see an attempt at making Husk's wings with a similar technique :D

[cursedstarflight]

this is why i love cosplayers, most if not all of them are so creative with their costumes and their cosplays are always so beautiful

[reganpylman]

I adore you.

Also? I use kite ribs instead of fishing rod, 'cause they don't have the metal loops hanging off. But since you do a lot with control strings / tendons, I imagine the metal loops might be useful to you in other builds.

[catrionaoldfield]

i absolutely LOVE these wings because they look like the real bone + muscle structures of actual bird wings which is awesome!! ive the foam base even looks like the muscle the feathers attach too!
i loved seeing how this came together, the end result is awesome! (also very cool to me that the first lute cosplayer video i see was from a fellow australian ^^)

[zacklothamer]

So as far as cutting those fishing rods go most of them are actually made from graphite and not fiberglass the best way to cut them is a reinforced cutting wheel in your Dremel at the highest safe RPM you can reach with it with it mounted to a surface then hold the rod on either side of where you want to cut it and slowly turn it against the spinning cut off wheel so that it cuts through it slowly instead of trying to cut it all at once that should prevent it from splittering and cracking down the length of the rod section

[FlukeyM]

Really enjoying your tutorials hun. Don't forget to be proud of yourself for how far you've come on this journey already.

[heatherpayne]

To cut a fiberglass rod safely, wrap a few layers of masking tape around it. Use a fine toothed hacksaw to cut through the taped part. The tape will prevent splintering. Sand both ends. when

Now I want to make wings but I don't have the money to. When I saw how it looked and moved. I felt like I was going to cry because it was so smooth. I love giant wings, giant wings are so majestic and pretty! you have gained a new subscriber!! <3 <3 <3

I’m going to cosplay Husk and I needed this tutorial! Thanks
