Not completely happy with my vest, I have a new one already that I changed to make it shorter, but need to iron the sword on it. Also the make up is a little too light on the picture. So I will buy darker color and the next time there will be "more" pattern on my arms. (I made the costume a night before the con ready ^^'
But LOOOVED to shoot with an BTTF Delorean! Picture is taken by "who ya gonna call germany / degourtrie photography" and the delorean is from "zeitmaschine-mieten de"

Not sure if you've found a solution evoskater that your happy with but I would look up the tutorial for a Geralt costume. The dude that does that has a dark brown beard and he manages to turn it grey without bleach. I think it's mostly chalk but its a solution that is astounding no matter how many times you see it

Hey man !thank you!
But I am really happy how my first attempt turned out! I´ve just updated a few things at my costume. But the makeup turned out great! For the next time we will add more triangles and more "tattoos" to my arms

Hello everyone!
So, I’m almost done having everything needed for my parzival custome the only thing I’m missing is the wings for my pants.
Does anyone have any ideas, advice, or possibly where I can purchase something wing like for my pants or attach to the shoes that goes up?

There's a seller on Etsy that has some laser etched yellow acrylic wings. They look neat but not what I wanted to go after. I wanted a compound curve to match the shape of the leg andnot a cylinder.
I modelled the wings in 3D and printed them as a vacuform buck. I'm going to cut out the vac formed shells, then paint them gold. And then add decals inside the wings that the grid pattern that I created in photoshop

This is how I'm doing them. Attach heavy duty velcro to the underside of the wings, and sew the opposite velcro (non adhesive) on the the sides of the pants.
Run a 1"elastic stirrup attached to the underside of the wings, and have it run under the your heel. This tucks inside the shoes.
This way, they are attached to the pants and allow you to pivot and walk. If you attach them to the shoes the wings will resist moving with your leg. Its much better this way.

This is definitely one of the better attempts at the costume.
It’s also pretty cool to note that parts of the movie were filmed in Birmingham.
