I was really excited to start working on Raven. I tried to bring a little more texture to her outfit, since a plain black unitard is not that interesting. It's a bit of a cross between the TV show and the comics (much like all of my TT designs).
I bought this super soft, very slightly stretchy, flannel backed upholstery vinyl for half off, in a beautiful slate blue. I also ordered a pair of thigh high black boots with straps and buckles.
 |
| Boots! |
I pulled all the straps off, so I could replace them with identical straps made of my blue fabric.
 |
| Straps! |
I measured off the original straps so that the buckles would line up properly.
 |
| Cutting out the fabric for new straps. |
 |
| First two straps finished! |
 |
| More straps! |
After I finished the straps, I sanded the arch of the boot and painted it red to match the jewels I will make later.
 |
| Two coats of dark red acrylic, two coats of thinned red nailpolish. |
All done!
Gloves were next.
Because the straps looked so good on the boots, I figured I'd do the opposite on the gloves, and have black straps on blue gloves. I made basic gauntlets, and used my super shiny black pleather for straps and piping.
 |
| With added snaps to hold the straps down. |
I made the lining out of an cheap pair of black costume gloves I had lying around
.
 |
| Adding lining. |
 |
| Finger loopies! |
 |
| All done! ...minus the gems. |
Then someone showed me the Injustice: Gods Among Us costumes and I was like NOOOO accidentally copying whhhhhyyyy.
 |
| I even did that weird shoulder triangle thing! |
So now I'm Teen Titans/Injustice Raven. It's 'kay.
UPDATE: I cast the gems for her gloves out of resin, and attached them with glue (*shame*). I'm putting the gem-making process in its own post, because it was a struggle. :D
