Doesn't the other side look messy?
Can the wire bend and not ruin the wings?

you're basically making four sets of wings. You'll glue two together to hide the wire, and where you glued the feathers on. Just make sure to layer the second half of the wing's feathers correctly so you can hide the messyness.

The wire is more to keep the foam stable because otherwise they are very flimsy and flop around a lot. You can bend the wings a bit, but they wont bend quite like actual wings. I never bent the wire in mine, so I can't tell you how exactly it makes them look, sorry.

Oh I see, so two arms, two coverlettes and one set of pointers that stick out like lettuce in a sandwich?

I see I see, thank you very much! If I ever get around to it, I'll post you the product. Do you mind if I note you for help if I ever need it?

That'd be great if you did!

And feel free if you need help with them. I know this tutorial isn't very clear in a lot of areas, I should really get around to redoing it... But I'd be happy to help clear things up~!

Hey! So I'm finally getting around to using this tutorial, would you want me to note you or continue on here for questions?
Does the wire allow the wing to bend into shape, like to "curl" forward to keep out of the way from bumping into people? Or will this damage and pull the glue?

you can keep asking questions this way if you want, any way is fine UvU

The wings will be able to bend with the wire, I mostly did it to make them less floppy but it does add a bit of poseability to them. The glue should hold unless you bend them too much/too far or try to bend them before the glue has dried.

Well done. Thank you for sharing. Just wondering, could I repaste your tutorials to our local cosplay bbs? I will also share your linkage to my friends too. My friends must love this.
