Bat/dragon wings that follow your body movement, for cosplay and costumes. Patterns included. I hope it will inspire you to make your own!
I've made proper articulated wings (i.e. that expand) before, but these are a little different. They are way simpler, but move along with your body. The slightly flexible armature contributes to the natural looking movement. The patterns are available on my website (see the links below). It is probably the closest I have ever been to making a cosplay tutorial.

The magnetic pieces that go over the shirt is genius.

That is the simplest harness I've ever seen! I'm working on a winter fae costume, and really want to include wings of some sort. Your technique would be perfect!

Awesome work. I'll be using several of these techniques to make my little dragon familiar so that his wings move naturally. It will be scaled way down though, of course.

Strapping you mean ? I don't really have much to say about it, as the useful part (the "wing plate") was already shown. It does not go further than what I showed from 7:29 to 12:23.

@@Marl3n3x I think they are cotton ? Nylon would work too (the ones you find in hardware stores). You could glue them, bolt them, sew them (by heating the needle in a flame)...

is it possible to make the foam thinner for a more bat look? Im worried that it wont be stable enough

It has a metal skeleton, so the foam does not actually hold anything

I got your pattern for this and am wondering are you gluing two layers of 10 mm together or gluing foam together to get 10 mm total for the wing spines

If my memory is correct, I had three layers on the outer spines and two on the inner ones.

I'm heating up the PCV pipe... Though it's quite difficult to get it on to the aluminum pipe how hot are you heating it up..it becomes floppy and it gets hard to slide on to the pipe with the tape. Any alternatives ?

@arborealkey 2 жыл бұрын

Hello! PVC pipes do not have a very wide "softening" window and burn easily (kind reminder that it also releases toxic fumes). Using another aluminium pipe works too but it might dig into the smaller one. This is not really a tutorial, it's more like ideas for you to create your own stuff, so you can think out of the box if needed.

Reconnais bien là l'accent français merci pour tes 2 vidéos qui m'ont beaucoup aidé car je compte acheter les matériaux et faire seul de problème c'est que et on est que tu dis tout ça en anglais il y a des matériaux que je n'ai pas compris la signification.😅😅 Par exemple le truc en aluminium que tu mets dans les ailes, la matière du coup pour faire le squelette des ailes qu'est-ce que c'est, et je t'avoue que la fin pour du coup faire le truc pour le soutien j'ai pas très bien
