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! :)

CtCon Crunch Day Two


Well, I got everything I wanted to get done yesterday done, but today the stuff I wanted to get done... not so much. Today I wanted to finish my arm armor (minus the hands which I'm still not sure how to tackle) and finish the boots entirely. The arms took longer than I thought and the boots even longer and I'm still not done with them. Also I'm now not sure whether or not they will hold their own weight so this is just becoming a big mess. I have other commitments tomorrow and the next day as well so I'm not doing so great as far as time goes. I'd try and finish them tonight but I've been working pretty much non-stop for two weeks now on this and really need the sleep so after I post this I am going to bed. So I guess tomorrow I'm going to try and finish the boots for good and hope everything turns out well. I also really wanna finish my overalls including the weird armor that needs to go on them and also make progress on the naginata as right now it is just two halves of a tube. And this is pushing it but I'd really love to finish the chest piece completely too. I have some pictures for you guys now. I guess we'll see what happens with everything else tomorrow. MadDog out!



The mess that is my boots.
