So this is the first attempt at sculpting what ultimately will house the video screen for my costume. I will be making another one for the back as well. Some slight changes to make still but it’s pretty close.

I am spending time working out the technicalities of this project. It’s hard to foresee all of the issues that can occur when trying to make a bunch of unrelated electronics work together. Not to mention how to power everything so it’s all portable. I’m on a good track though, and have one month to try and pull it off. Actually, I just looked at the Marie Antoinette costume, and I came up with that idea on Sept 28 that year. I haven’t been physically working in this costume, but I’ve spent a lot of time thinking out it. So I have a big head start just for having it all planned out and I think I work best under pressure anyways.

As far as the style for the finished costume, I’m probably departing from trying to be a specific character, it’s more likely that I’ll make this costume to be something altogether different.
