Thank you so much for the advice and offer to be a resource for questioning. I think you’re right, pushing the boundaries of my normal limitations and style will be fun. This first cosplay with the kinda grunge punk aesthetic won’t deviate just a ton from my regular styles honestly, but I’m enjoying the changing up of a character to fit what I like. I even have the platform boots from Killstar with their logo of a crescent moon cat so it fits the theme.
I actually have a question for my current cosplay I was debating using iron on vinyl to put the dark moon symbol on the back and “Wicked” for the character. I’m partially leaning towards fabric paints and a stencil thought to give it a more home made look. What’s a good fabric paint if you know of one? It’s on gene fabric and I wouldn’t want it to bleed if I ever have to hand wash it.
Also, the character wears jewel cuffs and a necklace. I was thinking spiked and healed wrist cuffs and a choker. Should I jump into leather? I’ve done leather work before but it’s so expensive or is there a better option?
I love the pony outfit you made! I went and looked through all the updates and that must have taken so much patience. Honestly not to fan person too hard but I’m still kinda in awe of your work.
The buttons on my jacket have the Torrid logo. I was thinking about roughing up the words with sand paper and painting them with black nail polish. Would that be weird?

I understand. I’m a teacher and style is kinda quirky. I might wear a giant fluffy prom dress one day and deer antlers with some fairy looking stuff another day. My students find it amusing and so do I, but it does mean I lack any definition of a particular style for myself. Some days that’s fine and some days I wish I knew. Not to turn the convo to myself just saying I can relate.
Your artwork is beautiful. When I have a little money together I would love to commission you for a piece. Maybe it will help me solidify my character ideas.
