Steam Works WWW is LIVE!

Here it is folks! Steam Works WWW page is live and pumping steam!

"It has been fifty years since the battle of Arcadia. The planet is still recovering from the massive interstellar battle that left it and its people nearly decimated and in ruins.

You snap awake! You're tied to a chair and two men are smacking you around. "Why are you here?" they keep asking. You break free kill them and take their weapons. Running out onto a roof nothing looks familar to you. The city is steam powered. Everyone is in strange clothes but that's not all, a strange man walks by, he doesn't look human. He isn't. He's an alien. You stare at him and he gives you attitude. "Haven't you ever seen an alien before?" Now the question is "Why are you really here?"

This game is designed with the player in mind. We want everything to be customizable; from weapons to wardrobe. And the storyline is pretty decent to boot. "

Class Selection

I have seen these guys at work first hand and they are really 100% dedicated to seeing this game become a success! A few of the guys have moved into the studio full time so that every waking minute is spent working on this game! Now THAT is dedication!

I will update my Blog as more info is released! The Kickstarter page should be live any day now and I really hope you show your support by donating and sharing their page!

Here is the Teir clip of what you get for donating! I just found it on You tube this morning!!!

Cosplay: The making of Nana's Plaster cast sewing mold Post 1

DIY Plaster cast body mold for sewing or Cosplay:

This is not a CHEAP project but it is custom and still less than a standard sewing model form sold at the local shops. It is messy and you will need a partner, friend, bet loser, etc to help you out.

Things you will need to acquire:

*10 to 12 rolls of plaster cloth (Can be bought online at specialty FX shops, or at your local Micheal's arts and crafts)

* A drop cloth

* A bucket (or two) for water

* and an old Bra and undies unless you want an all natural form (I used the undies and Bra option as mine is for Cosplay crafting and I wanted my mold to have my form wearing undergarments)

* Optional shears

* Optional Vaseline

<3

The application:

There are several ways you can apply the plaster cloth to each their own way! If you choose the mummy strip wrap application you will need the (*scissors or bandage shears to remove the mold from your body) My helper chose to fabricate a front and a back section using (*Vaseline)to keep the overlapping sections from sticking together. Basically this section you as the model just stands on the drop cloth staring at a spot on the wall and trying to stay still. The helper tears, wets, and applies the wet (not too wet) bandages to your body. (Some have said it get HOT, some have said it get's COLD, some have said they passed out or felt faint...I didn't feel any of these things. Just felt like I had got out of a pool so "Wet" that's how it felt to me..) Start to finish it took about 1hr 20 min. after that the mold was easily peeled from my body and propped in a chair to dry overnight (Sorry I forgot to take photos of the two pieces separately)

Day TWO the plan:

The plan is to go back to the studio tomorrow and duct tape the two halves together and plaster cast the open arms/neck to hold in the foam for day 3. (I had only bought 6 rolls of plaster cloth so had to go buy some more thats why it's day two...otherwise all of this could have been done on day one)

PHOTOS? Yes Please!
