Evenstar Designs

It's finished!! I made the jacket out of faux leather I got for $14 from Hobby Lobby. The rest is mostly EVA foam I got from Walmart, stuff I had lying around the sewing room, and a whole lot of determination! Here are a few in-progress pics, then some from our first photo shoot (we plan on doing two.) This cosplay was definitely a team effort - my sister made the arm, friends let me borrow combat boots and airsoft guns (the things I thought about trying to make but then thought better of it...), and my bestie and sister were my photographers.  I'm super happy with how this cosplay turned out! The accessories are mostly EVA foam, cardboard, and leather scraps. Here are a few pictures from our first photo shoot! Also, my sister did my assassin makeup :)  Thanks for reading!

We finally got into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I don't know why it took this long because I have so many friends that are into Marvel. Maybe it's just because there are so many movies that we didn't know where to start, but this summer, we've jumped in head first. And I love Bucky Barnes. :) Soooooo, I decided to do a cosplay. First things first. The arm. Whether it's a silver arm designed by evil Dr. Zola or a cool vibranium arm (happy punch in the feels - Steve's shield and Bucky's arm now match 💖 ) designed in Wakanda, I needed to figure out how to make a convincing metal arm. My sister has done a lot of research in the world of cosplay armor, so I went to her first to get help with making the arm. After looking at several other costumers recreations, we decided to make the arm out of EVA foam. (other options included warbla, or painted fabric, but we chose not to do those because warbla is too expensive, and painted fabric... not very realistic...
