July 29, 2010 : I got to Dress-up Models for Cosplay at SDCC! Part 1: Lil’ Red
You heard me right! Yours truly, as part of her job at DST, got to create custom costumes for our models at San Diego Comic-Con!!
So to promote our newest line of Femme Fatales statues, we hired two models to hand out trading cards, lollipops and temporary tattoos. And I got to dress them!

Today’s model was based on our statue of Lil’ Red!

I’m really proud of how this turned out! And from what I hear, the model rocked it! (really nice and funny to boot!).
A lil’ about what I did:
Everything on her was pretty much bought almost exactly how we needed it, except for the bag… Egads did I procrastinate on this one… The bag was made from scratch using gray pleather and a latex wolf mask I painted red eyes on!
Here’s a better pic of the pieces assembled:

She was a great hit at the show!! (alas, I was not there to see this in person…we were flying home that day).
But I couldn’t be happier!

Next model: Pirate Girl Anne Bonny!!
(Thanks to Chris Schaff for taking these awesome pics of the model!)
