Description I've been asked many times how we made our kamael wings. I really didn't plan to write a tutorial EVER, but after 50th questions I gave up.
That’s not the only or best way to make wings, but there were demands, so I comply

Wings made by Desler (ErikDesler ) and me (ElenaLeetah ).
Tutorial made by me

Those are our kamaels, thanks to those costumes this tutorial was created:

Could this method be applied to featherless wings?  Such as dragon or bat wings?

ElenaLeetah In reply to LibbyKeppen [2013-09-09 07:31:45 +0000 UTC]

What method? I think not. The bat/drogons wings has an inner structere and membrans, it's way easier to make from some fabric than from the foam.

DarknessIsNotEvil In reply to ??? [2013-09-06 09:39:59 +0000 UTC]

WOW! This is great, and while I won't be using the wings for this, I needed to know how to make a wing for a Cloud Cosplay I'm planning. So I'll be painting it black, but still, without this it would've been hell. TY,TY,TY so much for making this!

Thank you so  much for the tutorial! These look absolutely amazing~

ElenaLeetah In reply to LadyRawr [2013-09-06 09:20:18 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the praise  

Smth. like 3-4 mm, I believe. Don't remember already =__= 

I'll go in this costume to the party on 28 of september, so I'll gave to at least take the wing out of the storage and check it.

These are really gorgeous! Mind if I ask a question? How did you put on the clothes over the wings? Did you just cover it with armor?

ElenaLeetah In reply to Aero-Wolf [2013-09-06 06:54:21 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

No, there's 4 small holes in the jackets to screw the wing to the holders that we're wearing.

About how much did this cost?

ElenaLeetah In reply to 4649kasumi [2013-09-05 06:58:24 +0000 UTC]

Don't remember the actual prices, but rather cheap. Actually, the faric and the wire were already in our posession, so we bought ony the paint and the foam. So - around 50$ total, I think.
