Marceline cosplay

So, for London's MCM Expo this May, I decided to go as Marceline the Vampire Queen from Adventure Time. Out of all the pretty cartoon girls I've come across, Marceline is the coolest. 


I had already bought the dark blue skinny jeans, fangs, face paint and grey vest and ever since I got myself some red cowboy boots last october, I've really wanted to do this cosplay! Seeing as I already have black hair and it was ganna be freaking hot that day, I decided a wig wasn't necessary. So all I had to do now was make her axe bass guitar. She took her family axe and turned it in to a bass guilt cos she's just that rock star. 

So, me and my mum went and got some insulation foam from a DIY shop. I drew on the shape of the axe bass and then used a saw to cut out the shapes. We sanded it down, covered it in varnish and then left it in the sun to dry. I then gave it a coat of emulsion paint, mixed the red and browny red paints before painting it on, according to the picture i had. After I let that dry, I painted and drew on details to it and then painted juice carton caps silver for the dials on the bottom right corner and the pins for the top of the guitar neck and wire for the strings. I put in screws to attach the strings to it and stuck some shapes of insulation foam over them to follow the picture. I painted some other parts of it and then left it in the sun to dry more. In the end, it came out great and the day was lovely and breezy.....maybe a bit too breezy but it was super sunny and lovely :)

TA-DAH!!!
Song of the day:
I'm Just your Problem.
It's a song that Marceline is pretty much singing to Princess Bubblegum. I forgot how freaking pretty they made her. I might have to find myself her outfit to wear in in general. 
AND HER BOOTS! ARGH! I WANT!
