Painted - Blog Posts

BK: I modified this bird’s-eye view that Lauren had painted for the spirit energy explosion, but that sequence already had a really nice rhythm to it, so we left it alone and figured we could just share the painting in the art book. You can see how much work went into the three lighting setups that transition in a matter of seconds in a single shot! Animation is no picnic. I wanted the new portal to open up to a part of the spirit world we had not seen yet. Christine and I referenced bizarre iceberg formations for the mountains, baobabs for the trees, and aquatic plants for the field of flowers. Lauren and I researched pictures of aquariums lit by black lights for the otherworldly color scheme. It all came together to make a location that was pretty, yet a bit unsettling, which I think is an appropriate vibe for this postbattle conversation.

It’s been awhile since I posted but I have finished. A few projects in the meantime! These are shoes made to look like Fl4k’s foot and shoe. #borderlands #borderlands3 #borderlandscosplay #fl4k #fl4kcosplay #foambuild #foamcosplay #foam #handpainted #painted #crafts #handcrafted #cellshading #2k #2kgames #gearbox #gearboxsoftware https://www.instagram.com/p/CLx3isrjihu/?igshid=1r0nk3y1dvabs

I finished Fl4k’s shoulder pads thing! The skull is a little big but I couldn’t bring myself to remake it. So far Fl4k’s jacket is coming out very nicely and I am not wait to finish it. #borderlands #borderlands3 #borderlandscosplay #cosplayinprogress #fl4kcosplay #fl4k #foam #painted #handpainted #cellshading #2kgames #2k #gearbox #gearboxsoftware https://www.instagram.com/p/CGYh7rYpxMj/?igshid=vk8jngnxnsfo

I’ve been working on the Borderlands 3 sniper, “The Monocle” off and on for awhile now and I have finally finished it! I think it turned out pretty well. #borderlands3 #borderlands #bl3 #cosplayprop #cosplaypropmaker #cosplayweapons #foam #evafoam #handcrafted #crafts #craft #painted #handpainted #cellshading #prop #2k #2kgames https://www.instagram.com/p/CF3CQHYpslr/?igshid=1qfi8l4vtzo27

I’ve finally begun work on Fl4k’s jacket! I’ve decided to start with some of the smaller details first, like these pins, before moving on to the bigger stuff #borderlands #borderlands3 #borderlandscosplay #cosplayinprogress #foam #pins #foamprops #painted #handpainted #2k #2kgames #gearbox #gearboxsoftware https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDscqAJspH/?igshid=1fri15x49m2hp

The bra looks great!!! I decided to try on the whole upper body ensemble to see how it looks and I am in love with it #cosplay #cosplaygirl #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplayer #borderlands3 #borderlands #borderlandscosplay #amara #cellshading #handmade #handcrafted #painted #handpainted #foam #2k #2kgames #gearbox #gearboxsoftware #gamecosplay #videogamecosplay #videogamecosplayer https://www.instagram.com/p/CEsiGHFpqoK/?igshid=fslvcyr7eh5d

Still a little messy but I’ve begun to paint and finish up the bra! All that’s left is to not is patiently wait for the paint to dry so I can go ahead and shade it. #borderlands3 #borderlands #borderlandscosplay #cosplayinprogress #amara #handmade #handcrafted #crafts #painted #handpainted #2k #2kgames #gearboxsoftware #gearbox #foam https://www.instagram.com/p/CEsXYzkp8cV/?igshid=1wrfckjxno7te

I haven’t had as much time as I would like for cosplay things due to school and work lately but here is the beginning of Amara’s sash waist thing! #borderlands3 #borderlands #borderlandscosplay #cosplayinprogress #handpainted #sewn #handmade #cellshading #amara #cosplay #painted #craft #crafts #handcrafted #progression #2k #gearbox #gearboxsoftware https://www.instagram.com/p/CESJu5RJEGz/?igshid=j4o5e8h6m97j

I finished the bullets! The tips are a little small but I am really happy with the way they turned out! #borderlands3 #borderlands #gearbox #gearboxsoftware #2k #cosplayinprogress #foam #evafoam #craft #crafts #handcrafted #painted #handpainted #amara #amarathesiren https://www.instagram.com/p/CDuhbJXpZME/?igshid=1oc4jgs3yvf15

After many hours of work I have completed Amara’s jacket!! It turned out so much better than I thought it would and so am excited to complete the rest of her outfit!! #borderlands3 #borderlands #borderlands2 #borderlandscosplay #2k #gearbox #gearboxsoftware #evafoam #paint #painted #craft #crafts #handcrafted #cellshading #amara #borderlandsamara #borderlandsamaracosplay #handpainted #jacket #leatherjacket #vaultsymbol #cosplay #cosplaygirl #cosplayer #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplayinstagram #cosplayinprogress #foam #foamprop #foamprops https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1ozCYpVpQ/?igshid=19vvk5axkvii9

Finished ripping up and painting Amara’s pants! I really like how they turned out. #borderlands3 #borderlands #borderlands2 #borderlandscosplay #2k #gearbox #gearboxsoftware #pants #painted #paint #handpainted #cellshading #cellshaded #amara #cosplay #cosplayinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwVrKopCy4/?igshid=17yoapw1vy2ft

So this is off from my recent Fl4k posts but I took a small break of working on the backpack to make some of Amara’s accessories! They were fun but a little frustrating to do but I quite like them. #borderlands3 #borderlands #borderlands2 #borderlandscosplay #amara #borderlandsamara #amarathesiren #cosplaygirl #cosplay #accessories #braclet #bracelets #craft #handcrafted #painted #handpainted #fauxleather #leatherbracelet #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplayinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CCkEZ9fpH-L/?igshid=16zni9eh09idv

So I finished the dog bowl, shading and glossed! Then I attached it to the backpack and am hoping it stays 😅 #borderlands3 #borderlands #borderlands2 #borderlandscosplay #cosplayprop #cosplayprops #handcrafted #handpainted #painted #crafted #crafts #craft #inprogress #cosplayinprogress #fl4k #fl4kcosplay #foam #evafoam #evafoamcosplay #foamprops #cosplay #borderlandsfl4k #borderlands3cosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CChmnTYpm_r/?igshid=nodlcwyee0kd

I got all the parts fully painted for Fl4k’s backpack and stuck them on, it is coming together very well and I am pretty happy with the results so far. #borderlands3 #borderlands #borderlands2 #borderlandscosplay #cosplayprop #cosplayprops #craft #crafts #handcrafted #paint #painted #handpainted #foam #foamprops #evafoam #evafoamprops #evafoamcosplay #fl4k #fl4kcosplay #fl4kthebeastmaster https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWqgxJpQ1m/?igshid=dhenzsaquqvf

I painted all the side pockets on the backpack and stuck ‘em in the backpack and I think they are looking very good! #borderlands3 #borderlands #borderlandscosplay #borderlands2 #cosplayprop #cosplyprops #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplayer #cosplayprogress #borderlandscosplay #foam #foamprops #foamprop #build #foambuild #foambuilds #evafoam #evafoamcosplay #evafoamprops #evafoambuild #craft #crafts #painted #handpainted #handmade #fl4k #fl4kcosplay #fl4kthebeastmaster #borderlandsfl4k https://www.instagram.com/p/CCNcTgmJJNz/?igshid=c4e1wbyd661o
