costuming: hawkeye
Jun. 4th, 2012 01:31 pmI've been working on my cheap-as-possible/ghetto Hawkeye costume and have been posting progress on Twitter, so I thought I'd finally make a little post about it here.
Originally, I had planned on doing a hilarious, cheap as hell, ridiculous looking costume. Somehow, I've come up with something that's not really that cheap (current cost so far is like $80 because of various supplies and tools) and the accessories actually look pretty decent.
Here are some photos I posted to Instagram with some commentary:
( bow, arm guard, shooting glove )
Next up, I have to make the vest. I bought a basic black vest that I'm going to add fabric panels to, but that involves making a pattern, making sure they are cut and applied evenly.. and then sewing. I haven't decided yet if I want to hand sew or use my machine because even though I've made skirts and stuff with my machine, sometimes it hates me and wants to just jam all the time. It probably needs to be serviced. The vest needs to be done in the next couple days, though, as I want to have it for Albany ComicCon this Sunday.
For the pants, I've got some exercise/compression pants I found at Old Navy, though I could probably get away with some slim, black jeans. I'm going to use the TUK Gladiator boots I have from a River costume, which should look pretty good with everything. I'll post photos once I get everything together.
