There's something comforting about seeing someone with this much skill and talent still doing silly things like accidentally gluing your sock to the inside of the body suit lmao. Very human moment
Your mould wasn't working bc the uv resin needs light to cure, and the silicone is not transparent ehough. Small piece gets lit enough to cure, but the bigger shapes don't. They make transparent silicone so you still can use uv resin, or you can look into fast-curing two-part resins (but they are toxic when curing, so obv work needs to be done in a well-ventillater area and with a respiratir on). Hope this helps!
I’m pretty new to UV resin. Does it not kick like typical resin? I thought if any part got light and was hot enough it would cause a chain reaction like when regular resin gets poured too deep and the heat of the reaction speeds up the curing process.
Little addition: You're not supposed to do deep or big pours in UV resin, because it will not cure correctly. You should do these in layers, but the layer lines will show on the sides. You can get rid of some bubbles with a lighter or a heat gun. Wait a little for them to rise to the surface. Also very important: Wear gloves, some kind of eye protection and a mask while workig with resin of any type, and work in a ventilated area. It's super toxic.
I was just watching this cause I love this character and ur channel and heard my name and said to my dog excitedly "That's me! 😮" super honored! The costume turned out great!! ❤
The animation preview of what you were going to do with the wig was really cool and it made is super easy for me, a non cosplayer, to understand what was going on.
59:10 Kurtis Conner in the back omg!!! This costume was incredible and the paint job was DIVINE!!! You're so talented, I want to do an Orin cosplay myself and watching this gave me the motivation. Thank you!! ❤️
So with the mold and foam clay, once the clay is in the mold put it in the freezer for like 15-30 minutes. At least until it’s frozen and the pop them out of the mold. Out of the mold they’re dry by air since all the clay is in the air rather than hidden in the mold. They’ll dry quicker out of the mold, just set them on a plate or somewhere to rest, not touching any of the other pieces so they don’t dry connected. Usually dry within 24 hours depending on brand.
46:30 the glossy taco reference! idk how I stumbled on this but I'm so in awe. I usually never watch stuff this long or intricate, I dont cosplay, I cant cut out a shirt form to save my life...but I ate this vid up and I'm subscribing immediately!!!
If the UV resin wasn't working and neither was foam clay, I would have used hot glue to fill the mold and see if that works. It is quick and would work well with the silicone mold.
I’m being honest, you’ve given me motivation to continue my hatsune Mike wig that I’m trying with a new wig styling to finish until the end of the month and just in general, you’ve given me the Realisation that even taking long for a cosplay because of details, can and is fun! Thank you, sim!
Thats amazing! I'm planning on cosplaying Gortash, would be so fun to walk around on a Con with the Chosen Three but so far nobody planned to cosplay Ketheric (at least not that I know)
Baby cosplayer here - I've basically only done one full outfit but had the BEST time doing it and would love to do more. Watching this was SO informative, inspiring and useful ... it'll be a massive help on future projects for me and made me smile at how many of the same issues it seems even pro-level cosplayers have that I had putting my first outfit together. Awesome Orin cosplay and can't wait to see your Dame Aylin!
I have been watching your work for a while and just wanted to let you know that I love and appreciate the work you do, both in the amazing costumes you create and how you show us your process (which certainly isn't easy either, these videos are so well done!). These videos are legit a comfort watch of mine. Can't wait to see what you do next!
i just found your youtube today and im binging so many of yours videos while im working on my cosplay! i like rarely comment on yt videos, but i just wanted to let you know how enjoyable all your videos are!!
Oh my goodness that was so much work. I think many people forget, that behind every great cosplayer is an amazingly talented craftsperson. I love the end result. And dare I say it you look amazing.
The shot of your hand and then the rest of you slowly coming around the corner of the cave wall literally made my jaw drop! I can’t wait to see your Dame Aylin when it’s done!
this is SO incredibly cool. your craftsmanship is absolutely out of this world. the level of detail and care and ingenuity you put into this build... astonishingly impressive. subbed!
Love your video only 17 min in but wanted to pop in and say if you want to make a lot of foam clay details from molds (like you tried) but you don't want to deal with the drying time just put it in the freezer for 30 min. De mold it and set it on a drying rack and then rise and repeat. The frozen clay makes it stiff enough to pop out of the mold with the details still intact.
The cosplay turned out amazing!! It's fascinating to see how much work goes into fantasy cosplays especially. I really want to start with cosplay one day, this video is really motivating!
the harvey print on the wall lets me know that i can trust you with my first born child. other than that, im so impressed by this cosplay! this is insane. i personally want to do an isobel cosplay for a convention that is also happening near christmas this year, it'll be my first time making armour so i learnt a lot. awesome video! you're really skilled!
@17:48 if you try these again with foam clay, try putting them in the freezer for a bit and then taking them out of the mold to dry. freezing them helps keep them solid enough to get them out of the mold without ruining them, and then you can lay them flat to dry somewhere else.
this is SO GOOD!! i'm making orin from scratch and had the same velcro-on-bodysuit idea that you did. makes me believe my project is possible after all lol
You look cute as you and extremely scary as Orin (in a good, lore-intended way), I think if I saw you IRL with no context and clueless of this being a cosplay I would actually scream. Good job on the costume, what can I say.
Thanks so much! I’m not good at making wearable things, but I desperately wanted to be Orin. Mine probably won’t turn out as good but as yours but this has been extremely helpful. Also, you looked amazing!!! 🌸
My husband was AMAZED , he said you look like you walked out of the game. This is freaking Amazing ! You deserve first place in EVERYTHING! ( also sorry for two comments , it wouldn't let me add to my first comment)
Amazing work!! This was super inspiring for someone who also wants to cosplay Orin. Quick question for you: where did you get your body suit and face paint? The color is so perfect for Orin 😩 everything I find is either way too light or way too dark
I’ve watched this video so many times now to try and memorise it all! It’s so amazing how you have edited the process altogether and it’s immensely appreciated! Could I ask, where did you get your bodysuit from?
With those silicone moulds, I've seen people (Prickly Alpaca does this very well) fill them with hot glue and get workable shapes out very quickly! Just check the temperature the silicone can withstand and compare that to your hot glue gun's working temperature. I hope this helps you in the future
YOU LOOK AMAZING! Your hard work really paid off and it looks SOOOO good! ❤ Also, I was wondering where you got the Astarion jumpsuit at the beginning (if it wasn't custom-made, of course!)
Woooo C: Love how it turned out in all the shots you got! Also great video! Fun to watch as always (and I love the music you put in. Can only say that again) The mic works pretty well and is more consistent I think. The phone audio can be good sometimes (eg. 10:00) or meh (eg. 3:40), but having a consistent distance with the lav helps I guess. Could also pin it to the sweater and not hold it up in front even though thats how its done today I guess :D
Hey! Your foamclay didnt dry in the moulds because it needs air to dry! So if you want to mould foamclay you need to freeze after you put it in the mould, remove when frozen, then let air dry outside of the mould! The clay touching the mould obvs cant get any air etc so wont ever dry! :)
In regards to the corset, if you use metal boning it will prevent the bending, though it is a bit pricier. (Trained tailor, though not worked with it for a while)
look into fast cast resin, i think you have it in US. It cures super fast and is easy to work with but you need ventilation and respirator to work with it
Every good partner of a cosplayer knows that assistance is required the moment they grab the plastic wrap and duct tape. I don't even have to ask my husband anymore, he just shows up. 😂
(COUGH) The last 6 mounths have been this game. Man, If I set my self for a goal I am not going to stop till I get it and I did. ALL the trophiese baaaabby. Bitch slapped Ansur from the sky!
Can I ask what kind of pattern you used for the body suit? I'm not familiar with making body suits and I'm contemplating buying Yaya han's pattern. Nice work on this one!
“I built [it] with patience and contact cement.” Is every cosplayers mantra.
There's something comforting about seeing someone with this much skill and talent still doing silly things like accidentally gluing your sock to the inside of the body suit lmao. Very human moment

@@mostlyghostey It doesn't, unfourtunatly. No light no cure, it can even stay goopy in a bad case.
Dang. That’s too bad.
Little addition: You're not supposed to do deep or big pours in UV resin, because it will not cure correctly. You should do these in layers, but the layer lines will show on the sides.

I love how universal of a crafting experience "I sat there and contemplated what went wrong in my life" is. Another great video, Sim!
thank u Sasha 💖
I was just watching this cause I love this character and ur channel and heard my name and said to my dog excitedly "That's me! 😮" super honored! The costume turned out great!! ❤
AH omg! you're a huge crafting inspiration
The animation preview of what you were going to do with the wig was really cool and it made is super easy for me, a non cosplayer, to understand what was going on.
OH GOOD I'm so glad :D
59:10 Kurtis Conner in the back omg!!! This costume was incredible and the paint job was DIVINE!!! You're so talented, I want to do an Orin cosplay myself and watching this gave me the motivation. Thank you!! ❤️
Orin has the best dialogue in the game. Lot's of stuff about tyrants and corpse stench and ripping, cutting and bleeding bones and marrow and tearing.
You are a GODSEND this is incredible! I’m planning on cosplaying Orin myself as well and it’s incredible to see how you tackled her!
Those unexpected wins are the best wins, good job. Your enthusiasm is really infectious.
I'm in love with the worbla + foam clay combo. Its really genius!
So sad that the silicone mold didn't work as intended. Did you try hot glue at like a later point? That usually works as a easy "casting" material too
So with the mold and foam clay, once the clay is in the mold put it in the freezer for like 15-30 minutes. At least until it’s frozen and the pop them out of the mold. Out of the mold they’re dry by air since all the clay is in the air rather than hidden in the mold. They’ll dry quicker out of the mold, just set them on a plate or somewhere to rest, not touching any of the other pieces so they don’t dry connected. Usually dry within 24 hours depending on brand.
Your wig turned out to great, and I am in love with the paint job on the carcass armor! I can't wait to see your Dame Aylin progress!
46:30 the glossy taco reference!
idk how I stumbled on this but I'm so in awe. I usually never watch stuff this long or intricate, I dont cosplay, I cant cut out a shirt form to save my life...but I ate this vid up and I'm subscribing immediately!!!
This is genuinely so awesome! The textures and details of this cosplay are insanely good. Loved this one!
Thank you!!! 💖🙏

If it's a D&D cosplay, it's not a glossy taco, it's a glossy THAC0
Thats amazing! I'm planning on cosplaying Gortash, would be so fun to walk around on a Con with the Chosen Three but so far nobody planned to cosplay Ketheric (at least not that I know)

This was a MASSIVE build! It turned out so well! I love all the little details.
Katie, This Cosplay is AMAZING!! Keep up the good work!
this is SO incredibly cool. your craftsmanship is absolutely out of this world. the level of detail and care and ingenuity you put into this build... astonishingly impressive. subbed!

this is insane!! looking forward to seeing how the dame aylin cosplay will turn out :)
Your cosplay actually inspired me to start my own. About half way through it now. Thabks for the tutorial and tips. ❤

you can do it!!
I think painting is my worst skill right now so I love seeing your process, methods and how you tackle these
This is completely INSANE!!! Absolutely STELLAR!
And just like that you earned a subscriber. I would love to see your Astarion cosplay
It was funny watching your arm flap around with the duct tape sausage 😂
i adore your craftsmanship. this is so lovely. i am in awe how well made the cosplay is ❤❤❤
this turned out so good omg! and your next project is dame aylin?? i cant wait to see how that turns out! as well!! youre so skilled :3
You look cute as you and extremely scary as Orin (in a good, lore-intended way), I think if I saw you IRL with no context and clueless of this being a cosplay I would actually scream. Good job on the costume, what can I say.
Thanks so much! I’m not good at making wearable things, but I desperately wanted to be Orin. Mine probably won’t turn out as good but as yours but this has been extremely helpful. Also, you looked amazing!!! 🌸
You look so incredibly creepy and cool with the whole costume on, I'm in love with all those textures of the armour 🔥🔥🔥
This video was so cool to watch, your craft is awesome and you looked perfect. Your personality is delightful, I'm subscribing!
oh my god the intro was so cool!!! you're so cool
Joe scrolling past the review that just said "No one will read this, Im gay." made me chuckle.
Excellent. You did a beautiful job. “Trust the process “. I was cracking up. ❤❤
Oh no! Your dagger is missing the nether stone! How ever will you keep control of the mother brain!?
My husband was AMAZED , he said you look like you walked out of the game. This is freaking Amazing ! You deserve first place in EVERYTHING! ( also sorry for two comments , it wouldn't let me add to my first comment)
As a chain mailler, it brings me such joy to see other people play with jump rings.
GODDAMN this is so badass!!! Absolutely LOVE this orin cosplay
This looks so good!! I'm also doing a cosplay with a big braid I'll definitely be trying what you did here!
AND Congratulations on your win at the con and in the cosplay supply contest!! I would love to see how many hours you spent working. ❤
Orin’s (dress?) is sooooo beautiful. My jaw hit the floor the first time I saw that character. And the dagger… it has so much presence.
Dame Aylin 😍 but also on a more serious note your Orin was fantastic 😊
This is so well executed ^ _^ you look amazing!!!!
You did amazing job! Costume is nicely done and it looks great on you.
time to watch this 7 times in a row while con crunching!
Amazing work!! This was super inspiring for someone who also wants to cosplay Orin. Quick question for you: where did you get your body suit and face paint? The color is so perfect for Orin 😩 everything I find is either way too light or way too dark
I’ve watched this video so many times now to try and memorise it all! It’s so amazing how you have edited the process altogether and it’s immensely appreciated! Could I ask, where did you get your bodysuit from?

I think hot glue would have worked in those molds as well if you need something fast and easy
This came out soooooo good.
AMAZING
YOU LOOK AMAZING! Your hard work really paid off and it looks SOOOO good! ❤
Also, I was wondering where you got the Astarion jumpsuit at the beginning (if it wasn't custom-made, of course!)
that is impressive!
Turned out great omg!!! I have like a billion different games going but my fav was a high elf monk named peanut butter
PEANUT BUTTER LOL
Woooo C:
Love how it turned out in all the shots you got!
Also great video! Fun to watch as always (and I love the music you put in. Can only say that again)
The mic works pretty well and is more consistent I think. The phone audio can be good sometimes (eg. 10:00) or meh (eg. 3:40), but having a consistent distance with the lav helps I guess. Could also pin it to the sweater and not hold it up in front even though thats how its done today I guess :D
Great video. :) subbed and looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
The outfit turned out awesome! You look sick! ❤
Where did you go to get a photo shoot like that?!?! Sooo cool ;~;
I can't believe you did that.
That intro 🤌🤌🤌
simply AMAZING!
Hey! Your foamclay didnt dry in the moulds because it needs air to dry! So if you want to mould foamclay you need to freeze after you put it in the mould, remove when frozen, then let air dry outside of the mould! The clay touching the mould obvs cant get any air etc so wont ever dry! :)
In regards to the corset, if you use metal boning it will prevent the bending, though it is a bit pricier. (Trained tailor, though not worked with it for a while)
"i will kill for you...ask me to kill for you"- Me.
I was surprised you didn't use Smooth-Cast 300 by smooth-on. It's been my go-to for castings for years. Cures in
i love your shirt XD
look into fast cast resin, i think you have it in US. It cures super fast and is easy to work with but you need ventilation and respirator to work with it
Orin our fave psycho crab
oof amazing stuff!
Also I'm playing a modded BG3 game. Someone made a Death Knight mod which I'm loving. Plus I have a ton of hair and makeup mods.
i had to pause the video to play bg3 when i heard AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Awesome sound!
Hii, I wanted to ask where you got the grey bodysuit from. I’m currently making my own Orin, you’re such an inspiration! 🫶
incredible!
im not GREAT at color theory but… how did the batting turn PURPLE😭
i wanna enter my first cosplay competition in September and cosplay orin.
i never diyed any cosplay ever
wish me luck 🙏
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
THANK YOU AGAAAIIINNNNN
Hi! Can I ask what size foam you used???❤️
Every good partner of a cosplayer knows that assistance is required the moment they grab the plastic wrap and duct tape. I don't even have to ask my husband anymore, he just shows up. 😂
You've trained him well
DAEMERYS MENTIONED RAHHHHH
THE ICONIC LEGENDARY DAEMERYS
OVER AN HOUR LET'S GOOOOO
ENJOY THE CRAFTING MARATHON
yes so gooood
(COUGH) The last 6 mounths have been this game. Man, If I set my self for a goal I am not going to stop till I get it and I did. ALL the trophiese baaaabby. Bitch slapped Ansur from the sky!
DAMNNNN!!!! thats impressive :D
I'm working on my karlach cosplay.......
Can I ask what kind of pattern you used for the body suit? I'm not familiar with making body suits and I'm contemplating buying Yaya han's pattern. Nice work on this one!
i just bought it! from amazon
@simrell appreciate the honesty 🙏 they seem like hell to make by hand!
Bhaaler!
