So happy to reveal my pieces for the Transformers Reverse Mini Bang 2024 ! I got to work with the amazing @neonhoneycomb who ran with my idea, put in SO MUCH work and made SUCH A WONDERFUL FIC go check it out HERE !
I also drew a few page breaks for the fic, but you'll have to read Neon's work to see those ;)
I watched my best friend stream stray on discord and it was literally so much fun, and since their thing is cats, and my thing is robots, this illustration felt amazingly appropriate.
So the Companion is me and the cat is them :))
It's been performed in at pride!!!
Here's my thoughts on it:
So I ended up stoning some of the boots, gloves, helm gem, panty, shoulders and mellow cockpit stripe, HUGE, I don't know why I hesitated in the first place, this is drag baby and it really pulls it all together under stage lights.
I wish I had used a more flexible foam for my shoes as I see the paint struggling under the movement, nothing unfixable but the flex paint is really doing the heavy lifting.
The first gig I did with it I did end up dropping into a split and the force did take a chunk out of the back of the heel, quickly fixed and didn't happen the second time even though I did another split on the same shoe hehe

Thankfully the stages weren't dirty and the white of the costume stayed clean, HOWEVER!!
remember to seal your pain folks!!! The blue of the kneepads bled onto my knees!! Because I didn't seal the paint at the back of it enough (<dumb dumb) unsure on how I'll be able to remove the stains so far, thankfully it's hidden under the kneepads but I'm not a fan.
The wings are a bit floppy but I knew it would happen since I didn't want to make the harness clip at the front, but something to keep in mind for future costumes!
The helmet pressed against my forehead a lot during the first gig with it, but not anymore? I assume the heat I was expelling like a fucking space heater molded the foam again.
I'm still debating whether I should add more shoulder pads to the jacket but I think it looks okay?
Iwish I had been able to make shoulder pieces and or even the null rays but that would have been much too restrictive.
Costume is great to dance in, I did knock my hands against my helm a few times haha but I just need to get used to it.
So moral of the story, no more armor pieces required or possible to slot in there, maybe needs more crystals (I love shiny things) ? Some mild upkeep is needed with the paint and ab crystals but, overall? Success!!
Now do let me know, do you think this is a cosplay success?
I altered so much, does this still ring starscream to you?
How would you have done it?
Captain's log I'm never speedrunning another 3D model ever, at least not if it involves buildings, good lord the wireframe on these is eldritch i dont want to know how many sides some of these polygons have

I know some people get mad about people leaving too many tags on their posts but that is Not Me. Tell me your thoughts boy I'm nosy as fuck
HEAR ME OUT
Jazz is a human pilot of an Evangelion-type mech who anime-adventured too close to the sun and accidentally teleported himself (with his mech) to an unknown and very dangerous part of space.
Prowl is a Cybertronian. And one day he meets this very weird but funny guy that looks (and talks) nothing like any kind of mechanical form of life known to Prowl.
