Ethan and Lauren are dedicated cosplayers who make up the team Thousand Face Cosplay. They’ve dressed as all sorts of characters from franchises such as Game of Thrones and Frozen. They’re so dedicated they learned bits of Dothraki and High Valyrian to make their Game of Thrones cosplay more complete.
One of their latest works is from Borderlands 2. They’ve taken Krieg the Psycho’s Warm and Toasty skin — it’s a holiday look — and mashed it with Frosty’s melting head. It’s a cool and festive idea, and they way they did the cel-shading to make the costume and snowman head match the look from the game is beyond neat. The treatment makes Krieg-Frosty look like she walked right off the screen (Lauren’s wearing the costume). See a few in progress pics below and then head to Facebook for more.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
