Description
A bit different Vriska Serket robot arm tutorial: Part 1 - The Glove.~ NO COMMISSIONS ~
Part 2 - The Colors anniina85.deviantart.com/art/V…
At this half I explain how to make a glove out of 60 den grey tights. -Again, this is just a messy walkthrough with all the mistakes and everything of how I rolled with this. There are better ways, I bet. Learn from my mistakes, bro! :'D
So, my robot arm ended up a bit more complicated than the original design. I didn't want to just color my arm with few stripes for the cosplay and be done with it. I wanted it to look a bit more.. well.. AWESOME. I took influence from GUNNM and FMA etc. and the fab result surprised even me. : D Since people have been so sweet and curious about this, here's a 2-part tutorial just for you. <3
This method can be used for just any robot arm, not just Vriskas. Or simply just how to make a grey glove for troll cosplay etc, if you don't want to paint your skin.
PS: I'd LOVE to see your results! <3character Vriska Serket from Homestuck © Andrew Hussie

I have been thinking of doing FMA cosplay, and with a bit of creativity with the design this would be GREAT for Ed Elric's Automail!!! Thank you SO much!

I'm gonna do a Winter Soldier cosplay but most tutorials use duct-tape and it would be way too bulky!

Can you sew this using a sewing machine, or would it work better hand-sewing it?

verrrry cool, actually. I've got loads of old tights I'll probably never wear again, but in decent condition! Gonna make myself a pair of everyday cat's paws with this as a base. Gonna be cool as.

This is super awesome --I'm hoping to cobble together a Cinder (Lunar Chronicles) cosplay using this technique --and as a bonus, I think I can make a leg with the same technique and then I'm not wasting half of a pair of tights! Woo! I'll def. let you know how it turns out

Is there anywhere that I can buy something like this, that covers the arm and hand? I know you don't do commissions for it, but...

This is a great tutorial not just for robot arms but for skin tight gloves in general. I am using this tutorial to make a beast arm and using the same method to making the legs. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Very informative thank you very much. This si going to help me with the costume I want to make.

The thing i love most about this is that it can be used for other things than Vriska.
I for an example, are going to use it for a Robot!Phineas cosplay, and it've helped loads!
Not only with the arms, but how to make robo-legs as well! I can't possibly thank you enough!

Could I use a sewing machine for this? My friends are having a party this weekend and I'm really bad at sewing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, since there's close to none sewing allowance I don't see how that'd be even possible. the stitches are very easy to do but yeah, this glove ain't gonna be made in a day, sorry!

for the part about the arm, you said to go by the thumbline. I don't really understand what you meant by that uhh could you offer a more detailed explanation? sorry about that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I meant that you should narrow off the fabric along the "life line" of the palm [link]
sorry if it's hard to understand : DD

No no no your tutorial was really helpful! This is my first time doing cosplay so I was just confused with the terms you used.thanks for the reference though.

ahh, good luck then! : ) this was my first cosplay too, so yeah, might not be perfect. : D
I'm glad I could help~

thank you! wow this was your first too? it looks like you had alot of experience with this

Thanks for the tutorial! Do you think it would be to hard to hand-sew the glove since I don't own a sewing machine? (I'm not a beginner at hand-sewing and have a huge kit for it.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, considering that it IS SUPPOSED TO BE sewn by hand, I think you'll be just fine : DDDD I'm not even sure if a sewing machine could handle this task. Good luck!~
