Version: Gijinka

Inspiration: Invader Zim
Worn for Ohayocon 13, Halloween 2015 Why I chose to be GIR
I am a fan of Invader Zim. My hubby introduced me to it years ago and I still love it! I think the thing that got me thinking about GIR is the ease in which I could envision a gijinka version. I almost instantly saw goggles for his eyes and it all fell into place from there. Construction notes
I initally thought it would be fun to just paint some goggle lenses the right color and keep them on my forehead. I used a combination of two colors of model paint to get the desired color. Then I decided I wanted to be ablet to wear them so they'd actually look like his eyes. So I bought some color gels and a new set of goggles for new lenses. Now I have both options available to me. I also did some work on the wig. I wanted a silver wig, not just a grey one, and I couldn't find one in the right style. So, I turned a white wig into a silver one. Click here for details. |
