Description Alright..some time ago I had two people ask me about my armor making..and so, I decided to make a tutorial (sorry, can't remember who..it was like, back after YoumaCon last year...whoops!). But, I finally got around to making it when I had to remake my armor after my dad threw it out >.> so, anyways...this was all photographed a while back, but I'm lazy and it just got thrown together the final way now..XD

This armor method was inspired by a kick-ass Deedlit cosplayer I ran into my first year at AX in cali. Though I never got a full-out instruction from her, when we asked about her armor, she said felt and glue XD So, I jsut gave it a try and some of my own style~! She used hers for full chest armor..but, I just used mine for shoulder so, I can't say how well it will transfer over from body part to body part..but, who knows XD

Feel free to use the tutorial to make your armor, just don't reproduce this tutorial without my permission Xd

Lol, no, if you're not used to it, it's easy to get confused. Look at the left hand side of the image, and there should be the options "Collect, Add a Comment, Download" and some others. Click download, and it will let you download the tutorial X3 It's a zip, cause it got kinda big

This is awesome!
It's not likely for me to make cosplay outfits for the moment (because 1: I suck at everything creative where I make stuff with my hands, and 2: here in Norway it's like me and four other people who likes manga... and all of us in different parts of the country. D8 No cosplay events.)

But it looks really cool! Downright AWESOME!!! 8DDD
I hope we get a assignment at school where I'll need this... I wanna make~~~!!!
*steals technique* >D

Bwahahahaha. But I get stuck with the ones with mile high spikes. XD (I wonder if that spike stuff we found will work...it specifically says for mile high spikes, lol. And if it DOES work, we know where to get more, considering the Sally's label is still on it. XD ).
