13 Cosplays of Halloween - Painwheel (Skullgirls)

Day 5! ^^ Today is gonna be a bit breezy because it's Painwheel from 'Skullgirls!'

 Here she is. ^^ Many thanks to the Skullgirls Wiki for letting me use this!

 

NOTE: If you're allergic to latex or tin, this recipe is NOT for you! Here's what you need for her:

• Brown, black, silver and red face paint
• Tinfoil
• A pale green halter dress
• A brown and black eyeliner pencil
• Black wristbands and anklebands
• Rubber tubes
• Cardboard
• Silver and black craft paint
• Skinny black PVC pipe
• Bobby pins
• White fabric
• Liquid latex (found at Spirit or can ordered online)
• Tweezers
• Red contact lenses

How to assemble her:

1. Start by cutting the cardboard into four scythe-like shapes and a couple of large squares. Arrange the scythes into a pinwheel formation, apply some glue on each blade and sandwich them in-between the squares.
2. After the glue is dry, begin painting the cardboard pinwheel with the silver craft paint. Leave it to dry when you're done and repeat on the other side afterwards.
3. Cut up some more cardboard, but this time into a bunch of disks and paint them black. These will serve as the top of the nails. Leave them to dry too.
4. Put on the dress, the wristbands and the ankle bands. Cut off the cord if the ankle bands have it.
5. Put your hair up in a messy bun or whatever updo you want. Cover it with the white fabric and pin it in place.
6. Put in the contact lenses.
7. Now for the 'mask!' Cut up some tinfoil and apply it to different places on your face and apply the liquid latex around each strip. Have somebody mix some brown and black face paint and apply in onto your face. The same could be done for the lips, but simply paint on some stripes with some silver face paint instead of using latex and tinfoil. Afterwards, use a black eyeliner pencil to make the 'mask' look patched up.
8. Now for the nails! Cut up the pipe and glue the disks onto any end of the mini pipes.
9. Place one of the fake nail on any part of your body. Have somebody apply the latex onto the base of them. Hold it in place and let it dry, so it'll stick. Repeat with the other 'nails.'
10. Now for that behemoth painted cardboard pinwheel to come back! Have somebody help you out on this one! Shape the rubber tube to a backwards S and sew it to the back of the dress with some fishing line. Hold onto the other end of the tube, apply some glue on it and slowly put the pinwheel on top of it.
11. After the glue's dry, draw different lines on your arms and legs using a brown eyeliner pencil to make the veins and now you're done!

Oh, boy... That was the longest recipe I've ever typed out. -.- Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed! ^^
