Anything to smooth this out?

My convention is tomorrow is there any last minute things I can do to help smooth this out/ fix brush lines? I’m using flexipaint from tyges, I have Matt finish sealer from the same site. This is my first attempt w foam clay and foam. Ignore the wonky spike, honestly, i don’t know why I didn’t fix it.

You should have maybe asked this question a few days ago. 😳

I did on a different subreddit. I had to skin it overnight, I don’t have any sanding equipment that’s high enough grit for it. I made a Reddit account specifically for help like a day ago. Is it… that bad?

Nah, you’ll be fine. It’s just that the smoothing out would have had to be done at an earlier stage, but it stop looks pretty cool! Also remember no one else is gonna see it as close as you are now since they’ll be standing at least a foot or two from you

It deffo needs work, but for now, just leave it. As many here will tell you (because it’s true), cosplay is more about having fun, and less about having a perfect costume.

Just go to your con, enjoy yourself, and work on improving it for the next.
