My Lita Halford from Brutal Legend

[MitisFeles]

Hi! I'm really proud to show you my last work. I'm a lover of "classic" metal, and I love Brutal Legend too, so I planned to make a cosplay doll of all the representative girls of the game (ophelia, Lita, Rima and maybe a Razor Girl). I started this doll the past winter, but I stuck on her trousers, they are a very difficult thing to sew in this scale and using a non elastic material, almost for me T_T I resumed the project only yesterday, and after a lot of trials on a sacrificial piece of cloth I made her leather(fauxskin, really) trousers. I surely can do better in future but for now... at least she's finished!

I link my Deviantart entries for my praticity's sake. If have to do it in some other ways just tell me, I'll make amend for my laziness and correct the error ^_^'''

CACTI! Hahah I'm a dork. She looks great! I love the little armbands... but then, I'm a sucker for jewelry lol

I'm not familiar with the character but the doll looks great! "Lita Halford"... hmmm... I wonder where they came up with THAT name?

(For those who didn't get it, Lita Ford+Rob Halford=Lita Halford.)

I can tell you a source for tiny stud-like decorations. They are called "nailheads" and already have glue in them so you put them in position and use a tool to apply a little heat! I have them in many sizes and use them all the time I get them off of Ebay.

@OkamiKodomo: the armband are simply a suede-like ribbon that I cut and glued. Unfortunately that made them impossible to remove without cutting them, but I don't plan to radically change Lita outfit. Maybe I'll just sew her an alternate wild-printed dress that will continue to match her tattoos and studs, if I'll get the inspiration.

@Mlath221: XD, all the names in the game are similar citation (I. E. the protagonist, Eddie Riggs, has the first name of Iron Maiden's undead mascot and the last name of his ideator/painter, there's a character inspired by Lemmie Kilmister of Motorhead named "The Killmaster"). Plus, Lita Ford and Robert Halford actually participated in dubbing some characters XD

@Greyhaunt: Thanks a lot for your suggestion! I know them, I've them on lots of t-shirt, but I'll never thought to search for nailheads! But the issues lasts for long, cartoonish studs (the one they call "killer studs", if the expression is not a strange Italian creation). I thought to use the plastic teeth of an hair brush, the ones with a soft rubber base on which teeth are inserted...
