Welcome Beings of All Sorts

Welcome beings of all sorts! Somehow, you have found this blog. :D I congratulate you on that whether it was through success or failure! My name is Madeleine Schmuch aka MadDog and I am an amateur cosplayer. I will also be your guide here. This blog came to be because I needed to organize my cosplays and constantly work on them so that I would finish them. I thought that if I had a commitment to post I would work more often and would not forget important things. This blog started off as being called "MadDog's Sewing" but has since then turned into a guide to cosplay and has taken on the new name "MadDog's Wicked Guide to Wicked Cosplay." That being said, I'm terrible with names. This blog should really be called "MadDog's Tips That She's Found to be Useful and is now Sharing on a Blog in Hopes That They Might Help Somebody Else in Their Efforts to Cosplay." That name fits this blog much better however, it was a little bit too long. Moving on, I've added new sections to make this blog more informative but they are almost all ongoing sections. (If you need information on certain things now, please shoot me an email. Email: wickedcosplay@yahoo.com) Whether you just want to follow my projects or learn how to start cosplaying, I'm hoping that this blog will be a help. MadDog out! :)

Levi Boots

Hello everyone! Just wanted to post my new Levi boots! I was given them as a gift for Christmas. I asked for these a long time ago (and have no recollection of the cost) but I do know that they are from Forever 21 (as I received them in a Forever 21 box). Anyways, check them out! I'm probably going to try and alter them to make them look a little more like the boots in Attack on Titan but that will more than likely be some time from now. Sorry it's just a quick update but I hope you enjoyed. MadDog out!

Homestuck Troll Horns

Well. You should've known that this was coming. Anyway this is how I make Homestuck horns. It's really pretty simple. I Just use Model Magic, some tinfoil, a headband, assorted paints, and some hot glue.

STEP ONE:
Roll a piece of tinfoil up into a really thin cylinder.













STEP TWO: Cover it model magic shaping it so that it's a larger cylinder. (Having the tinfoil inside creates a much sturdier horn that can support itself and is therefore less likely to break.)











STEP THREE:
Shape it a little more to look like a specific horn. Then just let it just sit for a day drying.











STEP FOUR:
When it's done drying, paint it and let it dry.













STEP FIVE:
Hot glue to a headband.

STEP SIX:
Wear. Kk.

So it's really simple I just felt like sharing some of the horns I just made for myself and for my friends. (I made one pair and suddenly I just made like ten other pairs. It just happended.) Hope you liked this post. MadDog out!

Homestuck Troll Nails

I'm feeling the holiday spirit today, so naturally, I've decided to make a post on how to create the Homestuck troll nails look. Yeah. If you want to re-create this look, you are going to need yellow, orange, red, and clear nail polish. (Or you can be a moron like me and use orange acrylic paint. Facepalm.) You will also need some tape. Well, let's get started already.









STEP ONE:
Make sure your nails are nice and clean. Then, put a full base coat of yellow nail polish on your nails.









 


STEP TWO:
After your nails are COMPLETELY DRY, tape the top third of your nail over. Then paint orange nail polish over the bottom part. When you are done with this, take the tape off. (If you are like and jumped the gun putting the tape on before they were dry, after you take the tape off, you can always retouch the yellow.)

















































STEP THREE:
Make sure your nails are dry and then tape the top two-thirds with tape. Then paint over the bottom part with red nail polish. Once done, remove the tape.








































STEP FOUR:
Again, when your nails are dry, add the top coat of clear nail polish.

STEP FIVE:
When dry, throw on some horns (hhmmmm... maybe I'll make a horn tutorial post) and sit there feeling great. (Cause you know what, you are great. The end.)

Well, I hope that you at least somewhat enjoyed this post. (If you did, make sure to check out my tutorial on Medusa Nails as well.) You can always use this for your actual Homestuck cosplays. (Tip: to make this more accurate, sharpen your nails to a point.) If you like these random nail tutorials, let me know and I'll make more. I apologize for not posting these past few weeks and I also apologize because I've made no progress on my actual cosplays. When I last posted I truly thought that my Seras cosplay (and my Alois cosplay for that matter) would be finished soon however things just decided to get busy on me. Winter break is coming though so I'm hoping that you'll see a whole lot of progress then. Wish me luck. MadDog out!
