About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
The hat and tail I made myself with anti-pill fleece, and put some wire inside the tail so it would be able to bend. The shirt is just a black shirt I bought and then screen-printed the symbol on. The horns I made in early 2011 using a aluminum foil base covered in paper-plaster, sanded, primed and painted. I've had those grey pants since middle school and I'm so glad I kept them. The shoes were a very tricky part of this cosplay. The bases are just plain white crocs in my size. I glued down quilting boards on the bottom in the size/shape I wanted the shoes, then I surrounded the crocs with upholstery foam. after I got the shape I wanted I covered them with the same blue fleece I used for the hat and tail. Finally, I glued crat foam to the bottoms so I would have some traction. To be honest, I have no idea where I found the wig.
- Personal Thoughts:
- One of my most well-known cosplays. I fell in love with Homestuck in late 2010 and out of all the trolls my favorite was my patron Leo of course. I've worn this to so many cons since Anime Boston 2011, and met so many amazing friends through the Homestuck cosplay scene.
