Personal Thoughts:

Commission

Inspiration: Made it for a friend for a castlevania skit I dreamed up.

Least Favorite Aspect: Found out I needed to make it semi-last-minute so a few of the parts are heavily altered store-bought items, mainly the coat and vest. Though in my defense, the coat was also because I couldn't find anywhere with decent pleather or other good leather-look materials in time. Also, I used a fairly crappy halloween wig (some sort of "renaissance maiden" to start with which turned out to be full of glue and other nastiness after I pulled all the braids and crap out), and then made the beard and moustache out of some of the leftovers. But they were kinda "ehhh".

Easiest Task: Putting all the studs on. Time consuming, but not too difficult. Or maybe, making his weird inverted chaps by gluing leather to a pair of jeans.

Hardest Task: Sewing leather on leather on pleather. Broke 5 needles in a 45 minute period on my sewing machine, and when I say broke, I mean, shattered and had fragments bounce off the ceiling and wall behind me. Never thought I needed to wear safety goggles while sewing. Finally gave up and glued the shoulder parts and the trim.
