DMos: The Right-hand Gauntlet

Creating the corresponding right-hand gauntlet for DMos was, predictably, a much easier and quicker process. With no circuit or inner layer and the templates for the outer design already crafted, the only real task was modifying the design to remove the dice mounts. This would be achieved by replacing the knuckle-mounted dice with a simple “bar” of metallic red spandex, and replacing the larger oval d20 mount on the back of the hand with a flat oval piece of gold spandex.

Base black cotton layer with first gold spandex layer

To help give the gold oval its shape, I used 3mm foam to cut an insert around which the material would be sewed. As with the other gauntlet, a base of black cotton was used, with an initial layer of gold spandex.

Right gauntlet pieces

As with the other gauntlet, the red and gold spandex had to be layered to achieve the desired design. Unlike the other gauntlet the outer layer was attached directly to the inner glove.

Right gauntlet assembled prior to attaching to glove

With the pieces of the gauntlet assembled, they just needed attaching to the inner glove in the same manner as before. The gauntlets were by far the more intricate aspects of the overall cosplay, but the remainder of the costume would be considerably larger and, with a temperamental thread all to happy to snap in the sewing machine, considerably more annoying to put together.
