Thank you, and ok, then, very long advice time!

The hair was a cheap standard asian black wig, i would suggest ordering one as soon as possible if you don't have one already, since it might take it a month or so to arrive
I used got2b hair gel on it, tho i might try using their hairspray this time, because the gel didn't have desired results, but it did push the hair back succesfully. The hair extensions were ordered from the internet, and I was lucky to find ones that are the exact same shade of purple (it is worth looking for the right shade, everyone's tired of seeing eridans with gamzee's shade of purple in their hair). I used three of them, and simply clipped them in on the inside of the wig. I also had to trim them to be the right length, had to cut some bits off the actual wig itself too. Also, this time, I will try curling stuff- the wig is syhtetic, so it won't curl, but the extensions are human hair, so i will experiment to see how having a curled streak would look.

The cape was made with a lot of help from my grandmother- the basic cape shape is half of a circle, you can look up cape patterns for a more accurate shape, and it was made to be just a tad shorter than me, so it covers me up, but doesn't drag on the ground- however, i think it would be pretty awesome to see an eridan with an epicly long cape that drags on the ground, we just didn't have enough fabric, and i didn't want to argue with her over practicality lol

The collar has two layers of old soviet plastic tablecloth cut in the shape of the collar inside it, the type you put on plastic tables outside, or on countertops, you know. I mention it's age because many brands seem to be softer and less rigid nowadays, so you might need more layers for it to work and make it stand up, like mine. Or maybe less, since they can also be thicker, you will have to just try different amounts and see if it works.
Also, it is very important to have the collar wrap around your neck quite tightly (not too tight tho, and remember that you will be wearing a scarf, just try until it works), and have the bottom of the plastic tablecloth wrap around your neck too- it can't end right at the top of the part where the cape and the collar meet, because then it will always flop back- the pull around your neck should keep it upright. It will fall back from time to time, but it's easy to bring it back up for pictures, and it looks much better than when there's wire in it or some shit like that. It just looks more natural and the way it should be like that, atleast in my opinion.

The trousers.... They're simple black trousers, and i put paper tape on them and painted the gaps with a mix of fabric paints to have the most accurate shade.
It sounds simple, but it was hell painting them, keeping the stripes neat and fixing them, figuring out how the crotch area should work, i sweared at them so much. If you have an alternative (found black and white striped trousers that you can dye, found a good method of using ribbons on them (tho i heard that that's hard too)) or something, i suggest trying these options out.
Tho you might be luckier and smarter than me, and you won't have so much trouble with the trousers as me!!

GOOD LUCK!!

Omg sorry for not replying for 7 weeks, I barely pay attention to DA anymore.
And, well, I don't see why not, if you like the picture enough...
Though by now you probably got something else inked due to me not replying, heh.
