TF2 Shoot went great! Got to see lots of friends and everyone loved Archimedes. Commissioned art from Neev and bought a Portal Glados potato bag. :3. I am pumped for tentaspy tomorrow, I was surprised to hear how many are looking forward to it too!

As I get ready for bed and watch my dash roll by on my Ipod, lemme just say hearing all your comments (thank you!) over my costume progress these past weeks really has been super encourging and has ttly helped me work extra hours against the tired & sacrificing other things to get this done on time. I’ve spent two Otakons not getting a big new costume done on time and this time is...

Makin' bacon, and by bacon I mean tentacles
So I got my ‘tentacle pants’ sewn onto some old junky (snug!) jean shorts, and worked out the feets (with stuffing/wire/pajama booties inside) and then put them on my dummy. I pinned the tops of the tentacles for the right spacing…
(lol duct tape dummy, we’re a high class operation)
So then I hand sewed the tops on (through folded double layer spandex AND the shorts...

Spy Vest - DONE
I’ll share these before bed, some quick snaps of my Spy vest! This is the first time I made a vest, and also first time using fusible interfacing. I cut up the skirt that came with my Spy jacket for the fabric (as it was a chick suit set from goodwill so well it came with a skirt *eye roll* ) so it would match my jacket. I made it with a male vest pattern so it’s not darted for...

nikili-deactivated20120330 asked: INTRO!
Hey Lithe, I'm a fellow TF2 fan (though dropped off the chan a long time ago) and am massively in awe of the skills you posess in plushying and crafts in general. Your cosplays are also BOSS! Anyway thought I'd say hello (again, I might have a long time ago, I dunno) and just generally erm... Say hi. I'm not cool or anything so can't think of anything funny to...

squidbutt asked: Followers introducing themselves? Time to be awkward.
Hello, I'm Squid. I believe I saw you a couple times at AB this year and it would never hit me until a few minutes after that 'oh hey, I recognize that Medic from the chan/tumblr'. I found your art a while ago and I've been lurking since. Recently found your Domi story and it's all kinds of teeth rotting...

rurouniidoru asked: Hello, I'm that Chell cosplayer from AnimeNext who had approximately no voice and still blurted out "You're a girl" when you started talking. I found you totally by accident via that gif of me flipping off GLaDOS that someone else linked to, and as it happens, you seem pretty cool! (Not that I would have expected any less.) SO HI LET'S BE INTERNET FRIENDS.

zenami asked: Hello Lithe! I think I mentioned in passing, I'm ShoulderDevil from y!gal, I drew Domi that one time, and I love your writing. Your tentaspy cosplay is over 9000 impressive to me :D Uhh, me, I like Engies a lot, I'm in graphic design and I like to draw!

Tentaspy progress
Some progress on my tentaspy costume. Shit be gettin’ real yo.
Planning out sucker size / placement (they will be in pairs when put on in foam of course)
Temporarily clipped 3 to my pants to show scale / drape: (you can see how my legs will disappear once they are inside tentacles themselves and taper off my toes)
I ran out of tulle so there are only 5 stuffed at the moment...

lithefider: So what are you going to do with all those hats?
faderage: …I’m going to wear them?
lithefider: Ohh. You got so many, I assumed you were going to turn one of them into a handbag or something.
faderage: Sweetie, I can’t deconstruct just ANYTHING and make it into a handbag.
(but I do often try <3)
Well he HAS wanted to turn all kinds of other things into handbags...

TODAY THINGS WILL HAPPEN
Leaving for work in a few min…will be back home at 3:30…THEN TENTACLES. I’m SO sick of not finishing a big costume in time for Otakon, this has happened 3 years in a row. This year, Tentaspy is happening upon pain of death. And this one isn’t even that HARD, it just requires time…
Extra motivation because yesterday I was all up at 9 the other day like...
