The Tea-Drunk Tailor

Fingers crossed for you, my cool friend!

Thankfully, things improved somewhat.

(But no joke, there is probably 20 hours of work in the buttonholes ALONE on this thing. The red jacket is gonna seem like a walk in the park after this).

Dude I'm straight up not having a good time right now.

Daud waistcoat WIP. Had to custom airbrush the leather on both the outer and the button-holes binding and hand-paint the buttons (one coat of clear nail polish, three ink passes of silver, another coat to seal).

#daudcosplay #dishonoredcosplay #dcon2025

Newly installed organisation thing so I have a place to keep the need-constantly items that isn't on the worktable.

(Not me, procrastinating on Daud)

Also doing bound button-holes on leather sucks about as much as you'd expect (but looks 🔥).

Not me, being chuffed AF about nailing the proportions on Daud's waistcoat. (The glove-tan outer is wrong side up there so I could faff markings without screwing up the finish and the belt lengths are left over from Eisenhorn).

Man, at first I thought this was some kind of Half Life render. What the heck is it from?

Looking badass AF

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

(Trying to work on policy docs today but very distracted by the prospect of hanging out in the Marriott lobby dressed as terrible men in two months 💀) #dcon2025 #strugglebus

The Overseer kit is also going to do double-duty as a Teague Martin cosplay because god knows, I love a man who'll run his mouth about seducing another dude's wife while in the stocks 10/10 go off, king.

Thirteen years late to the Dishonored Party but boy howdy, this is gonna be gooooooood. Got the outer fabrics for Daud's default lewk plus some fancy silk to line his Overseer cosplay because I, like the collective internet, need 100% more Overseer!Daud in my life

I had good luck with LeakSeal for sealing some EVA lately. It's quite textured and paintable so might provide some grip?

Thorn wishes less gd bullshit.

Sliding in here after three weeks of creative fugue-state and a transcendent weekend. So much to share, my goodness.

The alt text here is amazing. Always down for Time for Crab.

First leg day in over a month. Pray for me, lads.

Work needs to chill so I can get on with the rest of Eisenhorn's fit. Here's a movement video in the interim because I am just SO damn pleased with how everything works together.

Ahhhh, this is cool as heck!

Brb gonna go do some 100% legal Inquistion shit that definitely doesn't involve demons

First outing with Eisenhorn at Calgary Expo yesterday and it was GLORIOUS

#gregoreisenhorn #imquisitoreisenhorn #warhammer40k #warhammercosplay #calgaryexpo

Hey @calgaryexpo.bsky.social friends! Ready to learn how to make your cosplays and props look extra-legit? I'm your guy! Head to Workshop Room 212 at 5 PM on Friday, 25 April to learn about dry-brushing, washes, and adding textures / cool effects.

Also faffing cuff embellishments but think I will go with the right option because it's a biiiit more subtle. Darker = more malevolent and I'm kinda here for that tbh.

Sext: "Got any piping pics?"

Felt like I was selling my soul to the devil to pull this off first-try and first-time, but we did it! 🙌

Slow but steady progress on Eisenhorn's inner coat / tunic.

#willthisbewearablebycalgaryexpo? #unlikelybutgivingittheoldcollegetry

In other news, ya boy started the Eisenhorn series, so guess what I'm trying to whip together for Calgary Expo this year. (If anything, it'll be wearable and I'll add the extra bits afterwards) Fingers crossed, friends!

Trim experiments from yesterday

#calgaryexpo #gregoreisenhorn #danabnett

Gordon in redesigned HEV undersuit- its iridescent and textured with piping going down the back and the arms from a metal plug at the neck. Part of the HEV suit is still on at the hips and legs. He's leaning forward to smooch with Barney, in his metrocop uniform, jacket unzipped. Its obvious they are doing other things but Gordon is blocking the view. XD

This took too long. I should be working on contract stuff now. D:

...also had the realization that these two fit the Mulder and Scully mold- the scientist redhead and the dumbass that believes in ufos. XD

Pretty rude that those dumb magazines from the 50s saying that you should clean your house and get your shit in order before you sew / craft are completely right. (This is becoming more apparent as I age...)

Anyway, dishes are did because there is some Stuff to Make this weekend 💪💪

Food is made for the week (mostly). Here's hoping it keeps me reasonably sane for job and crafting. (A couple of workouts would definitely D E F I N I T E L Y also help).

Yep, seems legit.

Oh man, where do I sign up

Still so gd wild. Also related: Petrie is the VA for the bad guy in Space Marine 2 and I was just like "Stanley, you arse" that entire fight.
