where did you get the hoodie? and would you sell this finished product of a reaper hoodie if so how much?

I bought the hoodie on ebay then added all the reaper details myself. I'm not really willing to part with the one I currently have completed. I still use it and love it to bits. If I were to make a new one, it takes about a week to make and a lot of materials, besides the hoodie. Time+material+shipping, it would be about $125 for the job and I sell on Etsy, so that part wouldn't be a problem.
Sadly, I start a new semester tomorrow and I'm going to be booked until it's over. If it's not a rush job then I could probably take this on after the semester is over.
Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

uh excuse me im doing a reaper cosplay soon and i was just wondering what you used to make it look so tar ridden
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I used black ink, fabric paint (the spray kind, not the stuff that comes in the little squeeze bottles), and acrylic paint. First I covered the clothes in charcoal, though. Then I splattered the black in and fabric paint. For the larger surface areas I used the acrylic paint mixed in a bowl with water. It was easier to make the splatter effect with the watered mixed with the paint, since acrylic paint tends to be rather thick. I did vary the amount of water I added to the acrylic paint to get some thicker blob-like tar effects and some a bit thinner to cover more surface area.
Hope that helps. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

Hmm thank you for the description it will help me greatly because honestly i was at a loss of what to use. Also, how did you do the skull it looks pretty beast

Lol, thanks.
That was pretty tricky and it took a lot of time. While playing the game, I took pictures of the reapers once they were dead. I would have Cole stand over them so I could move the camera and get different angled shots of how the skull looks. After I had enough shots to build my own interpretation of how the full skull would look I took out a piece of sketch book paper and started a draft of the skull. It was nice to have to references handy to look back on. After I was done with that, I took the hoodie and made a light outline on it, with fabric pencil, where the skull would be and a few minor details. When I was comfortable with that I drew in the black details of the skull first, with black screen printing ink, which I was able to buy at a craft store (Hobby Lobby was the one I went to, although they don't have locations everywhere). The white was tricky because the screen printing ink didn't show up well. I had to use acrylic paint, which was kind of a pain because of how it interacts with fabric. I had to make sure I used the right amount of water with it but not too much to where it bled. you just have to play around with it.
I hope that helped and didn't confuse you.
You should show me pictures when you finish the costume.
