My first ever comic con! And first cosplay too. Of course it's gonna be my boy :] Ramblings about the process are under the cut(Let me know if?? You would want me to elaborate with process images for any of the steps?)

The costume took me forever to make, as I've never done any machine sewing, sculpting, fabric dying or spray painting before but learning all of these was so fucking fun!! I never realised just how many different skills go into making a cosplay but it was so worth it!!!

Almost all of the clothes(except the hat) were purchased first as bases, but all of the detailing was added by me. All of the fabric used was originally just scraps that I was given for free so I needed to learn how to dye and dye all of the stars, they were originally white.

The sewing machine was its own beast that brought me tons of frustration from the lack of skill and knowledge (it was devastating to find out that 95% of fuck ups were my fault and not the machine's lmao). But as a result, a hat sewn from scratch, all of the fur trims, embroidery on the corset, stars and the collar(which is very hard to see on the pictures unfortunately) was all added manually. The stars and the stripes(on the back of the cape) were attached using heat-and-bond adhesive (I WISH I knew about such thing just when I started working on this. It would save me so much time and nerves.)

Then I found out about polymorph(mouldable plastic) and it has become the next thing I wanted to learn, to sculpt the claws and the fangs(yes, they're handmade jfksjs). The claws I then primed and painted in trillion coats because I wasn't satisfied with the colour of the spray paint. The fangs I moulded to my own teeth and then stained with tea to match the colour of my teeth :)c

As for makeup, I used Mehron Paradise water activated paints. At first I wanted to try to save money and bought myself Snazaroo instead, which unfortunately turned out to be a waste. Snazaroo didn't hold on my face for longer than 2 hours, cracking and peeling awfully. Mehron on the other hand survived 11 hours of me smiling, talking, emoting and such and didn't even crease at the smile lines(I'm actually shocked about that). It obviously works like any other makeup which means your skin texture and wrinkles won't go anywhere but Mehron's elasticity pleasantly surprised me. It did obviously smear from sweat and saliva(if you're eating and licking your lips) but if you don't touch the skin it just dries again, self setting. But if it's dry it's fully smear-proof. Highly recommend!

And last but not least, I've decided against painting my hands as it was very risky that I will stain everything I touch at the smallest hint of sweat. So instead I got myself gloves-tights(? Not sure how they're called but it's made from the same fabric as tights) and painted them with normal acrylic paint(did you know you could dye fabric with acrylic paint? I personally didn't), then heat set with an iron and voilà, they're reusable, my hands are not stained after an exhausting day and I don't stain everything I touch. It worked wonderfully which honestly was a surprise as I was really sceptical that acrylic paint will somehow stay in place.

I think this whole thing took me minimum of 6 months with big-big breaks for my school and life in general. But I'm really proud! This project taught me so many new skills and I couldn't have been happier about learning new knowledge, even if it sucked to fail in the meantime.

Everyone at the con was really nice and gave me a large confidence boost even tho it was my first time and I had no idea what I was doing. Taking photos with other people was really awkward/new for me as I hate cameras so I really had no idea how to pose/behave in front of one. But that's okay I think. This whole experience definitely made me want to do this again, so I think that will come with experience. Thank you for reading this far, hope you enjoyed this little summary :)

PATRICK “EEL” O’BRIAN In Batman: Caped Crusader (2024)

[luveygold]

Emerald cape 💎

[stressedjester]

Eel O'Brian being in Caped Crusader made me realize how much of a loser I am because I nearly cried from happiness after learning he really was in the show and I didn't just imagine it

[bad-comic-art]

Michonne baby what did he do to you 🥲

Guess I have to watch this show now :P

[thewickedweiner]

I LOVE EEL O'BRIAN‼️‼️

Foul beast, I adore him, probably has some background with gang stuff before he became a photographer-

also bonus doodle of Eel with my Oc Dune(just a silly design if they were in caped crusader)

Will I ever make a post about Dune? Haha

Probably not lol-

[anon-agent]

He lives another year (somehow)! Happy 46th Birthday 2D! This wasn't rushed at all!

I got another Din figure today (on the far right)!!

It's him on Glavis Ringworld from The Book of Boba Fett. Added it to my collection of other Black Series figures and they look so pretty together I'm 🥹🥰🫠

I honestly did not expect Patrick Eel O'Brian ( aka Plastic Man ) to be in Batman Caped Crusader. And it makes it ten times cooler knowing that he's voiced by Tom Kenny. The same guy that voiced two previous versions of Plastic Man.

I still haven't watched it yet because I haven't finished the 90's Batman. Gotta stop procrastinating and catch up.

[mepostdcfanartshere]

how do you feel about eel in the new batman caped crusader show?

🤔In fact, I'm a little confused as to why they used Eel O'Brian instead of Jake Ryder（aka the Creeper） for the role of reporter. But overall I'm looking forward to more possibilities for him.Besides,he is voiced by Tom Kenny！

I love how his face is always covered when he raises the camera make the lens look like an big eye.It's repeated enough times to seem like a hint.Makes me want to dip him in the acid.

Also Batman u have to grab him like that everytime don’t you

[candyheartedchy]

He’s fun to draw 🥰
