Gah, crazy elaborate staff!
I've got the base design work for the bottom done, and now I'm moving on to the difficult task of making the bits that stick out. There are a lot of bits that stick out. I'm definitely simplifying it, but even then, this is kind of insane. I was originally going to take the base design and then modify it for steampunk, but the damn thing already has gears and bronze and copper work and doesn't need any modification. Only difference is instead of a glowing circle of shiny in the center, it's going to have a gear. Which...is actually probably harder than just a circle.
To make matters worse, Sheila has decided that it would be an awesome toy. I had to kick her out of the room, and now she's laying outside the door wailing like she's dying.
But I have been having fun messing with the model magic stuff to get the cool textures and stuff needed. I'm seriously tempted to just let the base designwork dry and do![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
husband_brother's discus. I'd been mulling over what to use as a mold/shape base for it, and as I was coming through the kitchen my dad asked me if I had any use for an old curved frypan. Serendipity indeed!
And I have to get everything here clean and set, since I'm going to be gone for a bit. And still make time to get over to N and A's to go over everything for the weekend, since it's a pain to do it at 5 O'clock in the morning when I'm half-asleep and they're half out the door.
I'm hoping to get a lot of prop work done this weekend. I know the con is still months away, but this is intense stuff. And then I have accessories! Thank goodnesshusband_brother is doing the actual costumes - and she only has three commissions she's doing, and they're super simple Hetalia outfits.

A lot of stuff, but at least I'm not sewing two epic ballgowns from scratch. ;) I figure the work is pretty evenly divided.
Oh fuck me, it's almost noon. I wasted way too much time typing this up!
