I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — I’m often impressed by what the careful application of makeup can do. Maja Felicitas used it to completely transform Maul Cosplay, a.k.a. Ben, into Geralt from Witcher. You can track the progress in the above photo. It’s not just about coloring the beard. It’s about adding fake wounds and using highlight and shadows to give him the right look. It appears as if Maul Cosplay stepped right out of the video game and into life.
It took a lot of work to get his face right, and Maja Felicitas had to apply similar shading techniques to the torso. You can see the picture below. There are a lot of prosthetics for scars, and believe it or not, this was Maja’s first time applying them. They match the game closely.
Adafruit has had paid day off for voting for our team for years, if you need help getting that going for your organization, let us know – we can share how and why we did this as well as the good results. Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote
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.
