All the Good Gods Are Dead is now being posted online free, with an art piece for each update. Updates will be every Monday: http://allthegoodgodsaredead.wordpress.com/
I've been rather absent here lately, but that's only because life has been keeping me ridiculously busy. I'm hopefully buying a house soon so that the drive to work won't be so hellish, and after that I might have more free time for art and other nonsense. Hopefully more time for costumes again soon.
Happy reading~

I found something out. You know those play mat/under carpet pads? The kind that go together like a jigsaw puzzle? Well if you need a cheap cosplay with armor that's gonna be painted, those can be an ideal material. :I
Interesting! I'll have to keep that in mind, thanks :3
You just have to paint them and keep the textured side facing in. I learned this browsing costume forums xD
Hey~~~~
So I had an idea to make a Borgia (Brotherhood) Leader costume. Make some things by hand, buy a few other minor things (gloves, boots), And hand paint the armor. Any tips with any of this?

What material were you planning to use to make the armor?
My favorite paints for making armor look shiny is either liquid leaf or rub 'n' buff, depending on the material. Most arts and crafts stores will have these. If you plan on doing a resin cast for the armor, you can by chrome from an auto store and get an awesome shine, but it is more expensive.

I was thinking of taking your earlier advice and using craft foam. I looked at some walkthroughs and other instructions on how to use craft foam and it seems to be durable enough.
I was thinking of taking a metal glossy spray paint and coating the pieces then hand painting the scrollwork over it.
As far as resin cast goes... I'll keep it in mind for later projects. This one I need for November next year (RenFest!) and I'm working on a costume for a Hetalia fanchar of mine for MechaCon this summer that's gonna eat up my money.

I would do a test spray on the craft foam with the spray paint, because it may be more acidic and eat through it.
Depending on how thick you want the scrollwork to be, you could use metallic paint pens (which is what I used on this: [link]). To be honest, a good sharpie would work too after the initial coat of paint (to be sure it wouldn't bleed), so long as you don't press too hard and dent the craft foam.
If you're going to do any sort of helm, invest in one of the styrofoam heads you can get at a lot of beauty supply stores. It's perfect to stick pins into to put the pieces together, and you can mold the craft foam on top of it without using your own head.
