A bit different Vriska Serket robot arm tutorial: Part 2 - The Colors~ NO COMMISSIONS ~
Part 1 - The Glove anniina85.deviantart.com/art/V…
OH GOG. This took longer than I expected! I'm sorry for the delay. ;-; traveling, school exams, social life.. you know the drill. But now it's here!
I explained pretty much EVERYTHING in this part, so this might sound like a tutorial for dummies haha. I just wanted to be thorough and explain ALL the pros and cons I went through with this process. ALL OF THEM. I hope this'll be helpful on your own path of Vriska cosplay~ <3
PS: I'd LOVE to see your results! <3character Vriska Serket from Homestuck © Andrew Hussie

Could you tell me if you know of any similar markers that could do this, but are a bit cheaper? This looks amazing! I'd like to have a go at it, but the markers have me in a bind ;n;

the substitutes are about just as costly, like neopicos. in the end, it's just money, and not even that much of it if you think about it. cosplay is worth it. : )

it's not that hard as it looks, the whole picture might be confusing but if you concentrate in one detail at a time and it'll be ok : )

Thank you for posting this and part 2, I'm currently in the process of making a "Post-apocalyptic Harry Potter" costume. Mask is done. I want to have the robot hand/arm to look like someone used Sectumsempra on me and this is the replacement.

and i really love this one, it's just is there some other GOOD alternative for the colours/shading?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm afraid it's up to you to find the alternative for I have no experience of such. : )
thanks!~

This is so awesome and useful for anything, if you just changed the colours to golds and bronze you could make a steampunk robot arm too^^ its so good

What would you recommend for someone who is left handed?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
something like this? [link]

oh noooo, im so determined but i feel like this will be completely impossible for me
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I have a quick question:
Do you recommend wearing nails/growing out nails when you make the arm? Or was this just a coincidence because of your own personal tastes?
I ask because of how nails affect the shape. Obviously, the nails give the tips of the fingers a bit more of a pointed shape, where as keeping nails short will make them rounder.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
true that! I kept my nails long for I love them very much, and the pointy fingertips looked kinda cool. so basically, what ever floats your boat

I just posted my results of following your tutorial! If you have tumblr, you can find my post here: [link]
If you don't have a tumblr, I can put the images on imgur so you can see ^-^
And goodness, thank you so much for making this. It saved me so much time and heartache
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(oh yes, I have tumblr! that's where I'll end up posting the lion share of all my cosplay photos hehe [link] )
and OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH that suit is BEAUTIFUL!!! very nice and clean execution. thank you so much for sharing ~
You're the most welcome!

Thank you, after doing the hands and shading, doing the rest of the body was a no-brainer. That hand shadowing is good practice! Unfortunately, the webcam kills a lot of detail, but I think I'm going to have good photos of this costume taken. I deviated a little bit from your design and used a shinier silver zentai suit, and that saved me a lot of time shading on the arms and front. This already took three days, I know want to think about how long it would have taken me if I had to do all that extra shading...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah that silver fabric works nicely with the metallic effect, no need to add that manually indeed. I on the other hand was aiming (to use my artistic abilities to the fullest) for more comic-like result that wouldn't be dependent on the lighting.
I'll stay put for your final results then! : )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I enjoy that yours is much more stylized. It fits Vriska much better in my opinion. For my full robot, it was more practical just to have silver 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah totally, shading just that one arm seemed to take forever so we're not even talking about making the whole suit with the same technique : DDD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Either way, you tutorial saved me so much time. Even thought the suit shifts and the elbows aren't always aligned, I think the suit is impressive enough on its own. However, without your help, it wouldn't have happened at all! Also, several people on tumblr has sent me messages thanking me for including a link to your tutorial on the post. It sounds like you will be seeing some other people's work soon!!

you are most welcome!
oh they did? that's awesome to hear! : D I wish more people would show me their results like you, I go all AWWWWW MY POOR HEART everytime :,,,,, )

I hope there will be more, I seriously have a few cosplays planned out for this suit :I
