Warm-up before I work on something else. Sketchy Remus Lupins and werewolves are always a default.
godddD I have thrown away everything i have tried to draw for a week. before I pitch another thing here’s a crop of a larger unfinished picture, of my original werewolf love remus. couldn’t decide if i liked the colored or the lineart better soooo you get both!

But trying not to laugh is hard I tell you…
Good morning Anon!
This is the second time I get this question this weekend! And the fourth time I answer it in all.
A few months ago I even posted a link to the ebay seller, didn’t tag the ask tho, but you can find it by googling “treskift remus wig”.
And I stand by what I said then, if you want the perfect wig for your cosplay search for it on ebay and scroll scroll scroll though hundreds of pages until you find just *the one*. Because that’s how it’s really done, and you may even find a wig you think is more fitting than the one I have!
I deliberately chose a darker one than I would have preferred for Remus because I have black eye brows. A lighter wig would have looked weird on me, but maybe not on you!
What I’m trying to say is when cosplaying you should try and build the character from yourself. Find a wig that matches your skin type and brows, wear clothes that actually fit your body rather than the character!
It gives a much better overall impression and it will be more comfortable, trust me^^
I got my new coloured contacts today, as well as the collodion I’ll be using to do Remus’ scars.
The contacts look chocolate brown. Not at all what I was going for. Not at all how they looked on other dark eyed people (because I did my research before buying).
They give a nice effect, just not the effect I was going for. Ah well, we’ll see if I end up using them for Remus.
And the collodion and I need some practice trips before making best friends I think. It wouldn’t really work with me. It’s both collodion and tuplast in these pictures, all smacked on in like 5 minutes.
And I can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something wrong with how I look here compared to how I usually look as Remus. Maybe it’s the new contacts? Maybe it’s the fact that the wig is out of shape after being stuffed in a bag for a couple of months? Some thing is just off.
More of me as Remus~
I really shouldn’t be doing that thing with my neck all the time.

Good morning närcon, the marauders says hello!
We say hello indeed! Cosplay skit tonight and I think I’m gonna die I’m so nervous and excited. Argh.<3
Good day dear Anon! Like all my other wigs, I bought it from ebay! Through my ebay purchase history I can see that it’s this one.
A good tip for finding just the right wig for your cosplay:
Go to ebay, search specifically what you’re looking for (like; “short light brown blonde wig” for my Remus wig), then browse though hundreds of pages of wigs. Because that’s how it’s done. Literally. Every cosplayer I know does this.
Thank you! :D
I will not make a tutorial on how to make them, because I do them slightly different every time depending on what mood I’m in XD I also don’t use the “traditional” way in colouring them. Because I’m poor/weird I use regular watercolours and/or acrylic paint (depending if it’s just scars or actual wounds like this) which are not made to be used on skin. But whatever.
Basically I use a product called Tuplast to shape the scars.
It’s fairly easy to work with even though it has quite a strong smell… When it’s applied and properly shaped and dried I cover it with with foundation and watercolours.
Sometimes I spray my face with hairspray afterwards, because I have this idea that it’ll stay in shape longer if I do so. I have not yet seen any proof of this though.
I would also recommend to just paint the scars with watercolours at first, to make out where they look best on your face. My design of them isn’t really canon I guess, but I’ve figured out where I’d be most likely to scratch my face if I had claws, as well being able to eat and drink with the make up on. It’s a creative process! 8D
I hope this made some sense..?
And they called it puppy love~
Happy Valentine’s day. ♥
Oh lookie lookie…~
