Level Up! Creative Cosplay: Costume Design & Creation

Expand your costume-making skills and go from beginner to confident maker!

Picking up where Creative Cosplay left off, this new volume prepares costume enthusiasts to create out-of-this-world effects from head to toe! Cosplayers of all experience levels have much to gain from Amanda’s expertise as a national cosplay competition winner and judge.

• Learn the basics of making an original costume pattern, using prosthetics and latex, and customizing fabric through dyeing and painting.
• Transform yourself into the character of your choice with Special Effects (SFX) makeup. SFX makeup uses prosthetics and smaller on-skin materials to create illusions — such as wounds, scars, deformities, or supernatural features — directly on the skin.
• Get the scoop on sergers, embroidery machines, and using a digital cutter.
• Pick up industry secrets on the basics of LED work, body painting, and SFX makeup
• Create a DIY costume repair kit for conventions, and market yourself in the cosplay world!
