Hey guys! DarthNancy here!
Long time no see!
I got really busy working on things for Fanime and Anime Expo, and then I got really lazy to post stuff. But here I am again, posting another WIP post for Rider (although this costume is actually done now!). Check out the other WIP posts if you haven't yet. WIP#1 WIP #2

Boot Detailing: Rider has a very small amount of “armor”. I
put that in parenthesis because it doesn’t work very well as armor but I guess
if we get technical that is what it is. Her armor consists of two parts: a
smaller rectangle shape and a larger bell shape. I had some difficulties with
the second bell-shaped piece because when I kept drawing it out, it kept
looking like a penis. This *really* bothered me because I didn’t want the end result
to look like that!!! I did what I could but I guess it is inevitable that it
has that kind of shape. Blah. She also has a small amount of trimming at the
top of her boots. I had to measure the area on my thigh that these would sit on
and use that to know how long the trimming needed to be. I drew the draft on
card stock and then transferred it to EVA foam. I shaped the armor with a heat
gun and cleaned up the edges with a soldering tool (although looking back on it I should have dremmeled the edges).
