Geeky Ugly Christmas Sweaters!

I know I'm a tad late in this shopping PSA since you'll never receive these in time for Christmas, but you can keep them in mind for next year! :D




Ugly Christmas Sweaters

I love Christmas and I'm a sucker for shopping so...I'll post a few geeky ones I like:
(Its best to keep in mind that the MAJORITY of these types of sweaters aren't really "sweaters", they're thin sweatshirts...so don't always be expecting a nice knitted sweater or anything)


Kickin' it old school with a knitted Gremlin Sweater (85$)

Jewellery - Claw Bracelets, LOTR, Game of Thrones etc...

I'm mostly updating with things that I was supposed to write about but never did, since my apartment doesn't really have anywhere set up for me to take pics and the majority of my statues are still at home. In any case~ on to the bling!


I discovered this interesting "dragon" claw bracelet on etsy one day and quickly realized that they merely painted a cheap chinese bracelet, and I thought "Hey, I can do that for under 5 bucks!"; so I did.
A quick search for "claw bracelet" and you too can also purchase a few for under 5$. As for painting them, I used nail polish (bad idea, fumes lol) and sorta just winged it with the coloring.
Here's what I made:

Black, Red, and Blue themed dragon claws :)


 I tried going for a subtle shiny red hidden within the scales, I did alright I guess.



 My fire dragon theme was supposed to be like flames - its ugly but whatever.



 My blue one was the first I tackled and I mostly did whatever popped into my head. The turn out wasn't too bad.

Health and Mana bar DYI

These necklaces are purchased separate but I had an idea with them that I just HAD to do (purchased from here)

Luckily I have a ton of unused necklaces that I can take apart and use as supplies.




------

Lord of the Rings necklaces & Skyward Sword necklace

I've always wanted the Arwen necklace, so I found the cheapest-best looking one I could on ebay, and I gotta say it doesn't look bad at all. I also got the Lothlorien leaf necklace (also a pin).
Also pictured is the Zelda Skyward Sword Heart necklace (purchased from here)


------

Game of Thrones - The Hound (Sandor Clegane) Helmet necklace

Now this I bought during my omg-I-love-the-Hound-phase, which was subsequently killed by reasons I won't get into, and it was a PAIN IN THE ASS to get because the etsy seller refused to ship outside the U.S. So I used my trusty BM-sharkie connections to find a girl willing to buy it and send it to me ♥ 
(Unfortunately I'm unable to find the seller, so I assume her buyer woes resulted in her closing her store :/)

More jewellery to come~

Been a while - Spawn Series 26 statue

It's been a looooong time since I've last updated, lots have gone on in that time (breakups, move outs, conventions), not even sure what to update with.

I guess I'll do my Spawn Series 26: The Art of Spawn statue.
On a side note, I got to meet Todd McFarlene at Fanexpo 2013 :)









 Super long chain, you can wrap it around and pretty much set it anyway you like

Bonus: my super excited photo! (glad he did a dumb smile with me)

Black Milk Geeky Dresses - Star Wars & Lord of the Rings

I'm a big fan of Black Milk Clothing. Ever since I saw their Harley Quinn leggings last year I've been hooked - much like Pringles...once you pop you just can't stop.

They've released more Geeky things recently cause of their deals with LucasArts for Star Wars stuff and Tolkien for the LOTR ones, and it's been a ball for me....but not my wallet. When the SW stuff came out they had an extra 30$ tacked on to the already pricey BM clothing but I'm a big fan so I bought the pieces I loved most. Lord Of The Rings was only an 10$ so it was a pretty sweet in comparison  Thankfully though they lowered the prices of the SW stuff to match the LOTR stuff :)

I have a ton of geeky/cool leggings but never got around to taking good pictures of them so this will just be about the dresses I've bought.

DR WHO DRESS




The necklace I bought to match it - got it off ebay :)

ARTOO Dress


Bought the C3PO necklace also off ebay - titled the 1977 Star Wars necklaces; they have Chewie, R2D2 and C3PO available.

What I bought ♥

-----

Slave Leia Dress



I'm really pale so I had to add arm sleeves so I didn't get washed out and look like a giant orange/yellow pale blob.

-----

THREEPIO Swim



Not a dress but it also doesn't belong in the leggings section so I added it here.
I wished so hard for a dress, but alas...only a swim ;-;

Balrog  - You Shall Not Pass Dress





It was tough to take pictures of since the light made some parts way too shiny, but y'all get the idea.
It's been my only LOTR piece as of yet since they've only had one release in 4 months :'c Next one should be coming soon....

Black Milk leggings should be coming up very soooooooon.....I mean it.
