Game over.

The Machine was my 13th Amiga related cosplay. The design is my interpretation that mixes the character’s appearance in the intros of Turrican 2 & 3 with inspiration from other sources, mainly the classic Borg.

This is my biggest costume project to date: it took me 980 crafting hours over 1 year. There was no 3D printing involved, just manual armour making with EVA foam and making use of a whole lot of bits and pieces like old computer chips and cellphone parts.

The Turrican helmet prop is from my 2nd Turrican suit that I made back in 2016.

The photo was taken by void256 and edited by me.

Pics from the first year 😁 (although my wings are on backwards...)

Gotta model & print some elytra that I can just glue down to the jacket 🤔 These wings are fragile and no good for gatherings! Unfortunately, omitting them completely would reduce the already-small pool of dorks who'd recognize it.

It's a really excellent series of sci-fi graphic novels, with tons of interesting characters!!
Staying in tonight to work on my goth robot, but I had to bust this out for a minute and finally get some pics. Thanks to T for instagram-boyfriending for a minute XD

For next year, maybe I'll reinforce the wings (made of cheap cut-up wings + painted chipboard + faux leather + holo fabric + wire) and re-print the Heartbreaker...

SPAAAAAACE!

Derping around, laughing & facepalming (or is it ANGUISH???) (included this pic for the hair!)

Alex wears Alana's outfit with the beige jacket, black tank top, and dark pants, with a silver 3D-printed "Heartbreaker" weapon and iridescent green-blue elytra over veined tulle wings. Facing left with Heartbreaker raised.

Ok on to the eyeball.

#alien #xenomorph #halloween #costume #sewing

The same helmet is on a gridded cutting mat on the floor. In front of it are several of 2.5-inch circles cut out of bright green sparkly fabric with a small blue-black pupil in each one.

A Caucasian woman’s hand is holding a bike helmet covered with a roller derby style “panty”, a stretchy helmet cover made out of white fabric with very small silver glitter on it. It glistens horribly.

Step 1: make a roller derby panty for my bike helmet. Fuck it, actually make two so I can…

Step 2: make one large eyeball and seven small eyeballs so the panty can be reversible because I’m extra af.

I had cut the irises and pupils as perfect circles (I have an accuquilt for the literal only purpose of cutting perfect circles) and then decided to use the flower shape for the pupils so it’s slightly irregular and looks not-quite-right. Then hand stitched the pupils to the irises to enhance the irregularity. Next will be sewing them onto the panty, hemming it, and it’ll be done.

The finished irises. One is about 5” across and the other is about 2.5” across. Both are bright green sparkly sequin fabric with a black pupil with deep blue microsequins.

A larger flower shape, closer to 2” across.

A small subtle flower shape cut from blue and black sparkly fabric, held in a woman’s hand. It’s about 1” across.

Hi to all my new and old followers and fellow Amiga fans!

I’m back from Amiga40. I’ll post about the event soon, but first I have a lot of photos to go through and thoughts to sort out. Spoiler: the event was fantastic!

In the meantime, here’s a great photo of The Machine, taken by Rudolf Stember. Seeing all the photos and hearing the overwhelmingly positive feedback has been really rewarding. This cosplay took me 980 hours to make, but it was worth it.
