I am in love with this design. There's a mccall cosplay pattern for wings that I've been playing with but the structure is just horrible and your wing structure, as well as your companion's harness...are just WAY better. I'm cosplay Sephiroth for a convention and have been struggling with the wing. Your design has given me the right direction to go. Any chance you can tell me the guage of the wire you used? Regardless, amazing designed wings and equally amazing cosplay!

This looks amazing! Since you cut the tops of the foam layers that were underneath, did you only use 1 piece of fabric? If so, what shape was that fabric?

First of all and simply put: wow! This is something i'll definitely have a try on

If it is okay, i have 2 questions i'd like to ask :

how many parts does the wireframe consist of? at some point it looks, as if you are preparing foam-layers for a wing seperated in two parts, but that may be just my bad eye

Is there one layer of fabric, where all the foam is glued to - or did you glue every Foam piece on fabric and glued/sewed this onto the fabric? There is this part in the tutorial, where you say that one needs many fabric inlays for the glue - i guess this refers to "not cutting the top of each foam-layer" - am i right?

Last but not least: this looks really awesome! I've been looking for Angelwings for quite a good time, and... one possibility is, to spend hundreds of €s for feathers and build something like they do at victorias secret - or to buy something really cheap for cheap money at amazon. Have been looking quite a while for someone using a cheap material combined with work for a great effect - congratulations on your effort, the results are looking stunning and really great! Sorry for Wall of Text :-D

Do you think Modge Podge would work instead of hot glue? That way you could glue the foam layers directly together? I still think a nice layering of fabric on top of the topmost layer would look cool and give the 'fluff' effect you see near the base of wings, but would modge podge be a possible solution the mysterious answer to the hot glue problem? I'm not very experienced with cosplay so I don't know how it would hold up on a large scale.

Question! What would be the best way to paint this foam? I really love the tutorial and it would be great for my next cosplay, but the wings are dark red and the foam I've found comes in white and grey.
Thanks!

Edit - I just now saw the comment about spray paint.  Would the foam not be eaten away by it? Most foam I've worked with requires priming before being painted otherwise the aerosol would disintegrate the foam.

So, did you just cut the bottoms of the layers of foam into the feather shapes then? And how did you attach the wings to the base?

Those wings are amazing! They look so nice! I've got a question to ask if you'd be willing to answer it. I was just wondering, if you remember, do you know how much foam you needed for both wings? I know you says lots of foam in the tutorial but did you know roughly how many yards/feet of foam it was?

These are great! Would this work on Dark Mousy's wings though? i1011.photobucket.com/albums/a…

Could you possibly tell me what you used for the base? Beautiful wings by the way!

CandyBrainz [2015-09-29 20:29:30 +0000 UTC]

Okay...have I understood that correctly? This fabric thing...
You had first glued fabric to foam than again a fabric layer, foam layer, fabric, foam....
Right? If thats right. Could you tell me how long the fabric layer were?

PS: Those Wings are so amazing! Good job, dudes. ^^

The wings I'm making have to be orange, do you know if they sell orange polyfoam? or do you think i'd have to spraypaint them?

Wait, does one wing have two of the longest piece, or just one of the longest and two of all the others?
