#i forgot to take a pic with pearl's spear... i even keep it in my room how could i forget o<-<

Tbh the reason I entered the Steven Universe fandom after 2 years of watching the series is Emerald... 

If I won’t like her, she might even be the reason I will leave it... that stigma when your name is associated to a character but you don’t want. Rip.

Naah, sad scenarios aside, this is my Emerald cosplay! As you know this is the outfit from the concept art, but at the moment I only have this shade of (EMERALD) green bodypaint, so you’ll have to wait before seeing the other PERIDOT GREEN skintone (although this shade doesn’t look as bad as I thought). I’ll have to paint the neck and hands too but I’m glad the other version has gloves because it’s a torture wearing bodypaint/bodysuit on hands during cons >>

I don’t know what to wear as shoes? The black boots were my original idea but I remembered I have golden shoe cover from an old cosplay. Too bad they look quite rough compared to the rest because I made them by hand before buying the new sewing machine (whose name is Jasper, useless detail), but honestly, I like the effect on my leg more than the boots.

Wig?? Here’s what I tried to do: 

Cute right?

HELL NO!

It looked horrible when worn, the photos make it look better but I assure you it was really ugly especially in the posterior part! The hair spray made the wig look like it was covered in shitty wood glue (or something else) and instead of volume it made me look like a troll. I used hair spray other times and this is the first time I get this horrible effect... So I washed the wig and used hairdryer to change the hairstyle. At least, now it looks fuller, but still far from Emerald’s hairstyle, and as you can see I’m keeping a headband because it helps me putting locks where I want for photos. I found a lovely tutorial about changing the direction of the wefts with vapor and then teasing, but... teasing a wig? Me? I’m not ready for that, I should try it with an old wig first.

This said, I feel like Bibi. Or Emerold. Wrong Emeralds.

Now, have this photo that came out with a weird lighting and shows the moment when I was accidentally possessed by some spirit (all I wanted was to imitate her pose in the concept art but clearly yesterday wasn’t the right day)

Here you can see the back. I don’t know why but it reminds me of the Joker. Although I have enough fur to complete the collar, I didn’t attach it because I like the neckline I created! Sorry I don’t have a photo, I forgot to take it, but it should be called “Queen Anne” style!

In any case I have two fur shrugs, so this isn’t a problem. 

The gemstone is attached to the tiara. Obviously, I can’t take pics without or I’ll be gemless as well (?). The problem is that I ran out of the thing for the molds and I just have resin, and since this shit is expensive I can’t buy it rn. But I’ll see if at the con I can find something to make a gem like Worbla’s Crystal Art... I want to try it (the first day of the con I’m wearing another cosplay, which ironically is Disney Esmeralda, so I can get what I need to complete Emerald)

However, since I can keep my eye open, this is more comfortable than I thought!! My visual field is like zero but ok.

AH! The weapon.

Those things come from an old cosplay that won’t be finished and will become something original for Lapis probably. But I might finish those blades and use them for Emerald? Yeah who wouldn’t want to die by heart blades??? Emerald is the stone of love bitches let me love you. 😂 

As for the fangs, my canines have a weird shape, but I found a nice thing to try with fake nails. I’m not sure for how long I can keep them in my mouth (?) and I don’t know if I can put them on the inferior arc too (also knowing myself I’ll find a way to hurt my tongue anyways).

?? Wish I had a cape or something because wearing this = being naked (and I cosplayed the old design of Alexstrasza), I’m actually thinking of making Lars’ cape in case my period decides to make a surprise during the con otherwise it’s O V E R ♥
