THANK YOU for the pointe shoe disclaimer. I've seen so many cosplayers without ballet experience wearing them and it worries me immensely. Despite having practiced pointe for a couple years, even I would not use actual pointe shoes for a cosplay because I am several years out of practice. Just use normal soft ballet shoes if you don't have proper training! I promise, it will not ruin your cosplay!
Top things I’ve been missing : 1) Your incredible artistry; 2) Your humor - I laugh out loud at least once a video; and 3) Bird commentary. Welcome back, friend - and thank you!
I remember the time when spider gwen did not have point shoes. In fact I have her original chuck Taylor converse(I also have like all the comics). Lol 😂 still not over the fact that they changed it
the wig looks absolutely amazing and the point shoes give me war flashbacks from when i used to dance ballet... before i hurt my ankles and completely gave up when i was 10
Most impressive!!! I was kinda worried about how that acrylic paint was going to work out as a dye job but once again you pulled it off!!! Bravissima!!!
One thing that could be cool is if you put a small magnet in both the top of the mask and sewn into the hood so that you can keep the hood on while you're wearing the mask, because in the movie her hood is magical and will never fall off
...OK yeah definitely sticking to flats then since I'm very much not trained. I did consider twinning a pair of demi-pointe shoes with entirely flat-footed poses as a "hero" shoe (based on what pros had suggested in previous iterations of the PSA) but that's probably not worth the risk.
Alex missed you hooe everything was ok. Your tutorials are great and still use them for my young cos-players everyear when we go to a con to teach them how to handle problems at the cons. Thanks for coming back missed you and your tutorials.
Hoping to be Spider Gwen for Halloween 2022! I’ll be in pre-pointe at the time so maybe I’ll do a pointe cosplay in a couple years if I’m still into it then. Also, literally can’t find teal ballet shoes, so I’m just gonna use some flats lol. (Btw I’m planning on going as the comic version of Gwen)
How come no one ever tries the spray paint eyes with the mask? You could use a solid stencil of the mask and go over it with some spray paint. Go heavy at the center, the lightly as you go out for the edges. If you're worried about sight, cut out the shape of the eyes and glue some perforated vinyl on the inside. Make sure you line the edges of the vinyl with something sin and soft. food for thought.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING DONT DO IT IF YOU ARENT TRAINED IN POINTE! The amount of young cosplayers I’ve seen wearing pointe shoes who clearly shouldn’t be wearing pointe shoes..... oof
They were taken at various places downtown LA. all free locations we found that just looked good. The rooftops ones were a random apartment complex we knew someone who lived in so we were able to get it. But any rooftop will get you a similar vibe
Since lots of people in this comment section seem to know about pointe shoes I'm hoping they can answer a query I have, I'm making a cosplay that requires pointe shoes, would it be ok if I wore pointe shoes for photos and flats the rest of the time (I'm not trained but I wouldn't be going on pointe) would that murder my m u s c l e s?
Point shoes are very different. Even if you don't go up on point they aren't good to wear if they aren't broken in. I suggest not using them unless you’re prepared to train your feet a bit
Please don’t buy pointe shoes from amazon. You really need to be fitted for them properly, this is a super important thing. But the whole cosplay looks great, and your wig is super cool! If you ever are looking for something to listen to, you could listen to extreme anime radio’s podcast on ballet cosplay safety. The ballerinas give really good advice ☺️
Yes very true! It is important to have shoes fitted if your dancing and doing actual ballet. Something like this that's just for pictures is a little less intense. And yes safety always first!
@@AxcelerationDesigns you should get fitted anyway! Even if it's "just for photos" being in a pointe position without the proper knowledge can be extremely damaging and dangerous! In the video there's a part you kind of "walk on them" and that alone could have torn a ligament or hurt a disk in your toe. Take it from someone who has been injured a lot from dance and from pointe shoes as well and has classical training that these just shouldn't be a part of a costume unless you are properly trained and understand how to properly buy and use them.
Perhaps a sensitive subject, but here goes: Your last view seemed somewhat off. Couldn't quite put my finger on it.. until _this_ video - Where is BIRB?
Yeah i've went to comic an i was wearing my favorite wrestler The Fiend bray wyatt and i got lots of good photos of me doing the sister Abigail and the mandible claw i was wearing red pants with black stripes that are going down and black leather jacket an a black shirt with no short sleeves and the gloves will have HURT AND HEAL an color contacts and dreadlocks that are yellow and black face paint to cover over the mouth and my eyelids an finally the fiend mask from wwe shop even i carried a lantern of bray wyatts head and all of us know the way an you will Let Me In Bye alex Bye
Wait you can just BUY pointes on Amazon?? The frick? I thought you had to have like a teacher's permit to get pointes. Haha Thank you for including that warning. When I saw the thumbnail I was worried.
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT USE POINTE SHOES IF YOU ARE NOT CLASSICALLY TRAINED YOU WILL RUIN YOUR FEET OR WORSE!!!!!!! VERY disappointed and VERY concerned that you disclosed where you got your pointe shoes. Unless you know EXACTLY what type, size, brand, and all the info you need to fit your feet to buy the PROPER pointe shoes you should ALWAYS go to an actual shop to get pointe shoes. ALSO, you NEED to break them in and the fact that you are NOT actually properly trained in pointe is extremely concerning. I had to take an extra TWO YEARS to do pointe because I messed up my ankle ligaments. You just shouldn't have included the pointes in this or disclosed the first part that if you are not classically trained to not use them. Even if it's "just for photos" simply being up in pointe position without proper knowledge can be extremely damaging and dangerous!!
hey there! i have mad respect for professional ballet and professional dancers. they have very high standards and practice routines. I was guided by 2 really good friends who were pre-professional ballerinas and were trained on point for many years and i trust their judgement and guidelines. and with a few months of beginner point practice i was able to safely get up to point for a few photos. that's all I'm promoting here. to be responsible and smart when making the choice to trying something new. Yes correct muscles need to be trained and safety needs to be practiced. But there are big differences when training to actually dance on point and just getting up on pointe for a few seconds at a time. still exercise caution. and that's that i pointed out in my warning.
THANK YOU for the pointe shoe disclaimer. I've seen so many cosplayers without ballet experience wearing them and it worries me immensely.

Alex: Do not do this unless you are trained with point shoes.
Me: *Happy ballet noises*
of course! safety first!
I’m really glad you put the disclaimer because I’m always worried that people will blindly follow a tutorial and get hurt.
I saw this video pop up and immediately went OH NO when I saw the pointe shoes and was very happy to hear her say that.
Top things I’ve been missing : 1) Your incredible artistry; 2) Your humor - I laugh out loud at least once a video; and 3) Bird commentary. Welcome back, friend - and thank you!
Wow, thank you!
The fact that you just bought a random pair of pointes and didn't sink in your shoes. You must be pretty lucky
i mean... yeah. it I were actually dancing in them it would be a different story. these were just for pictures!!
I remember the time when spider gwen did not have point shoes. In fact I have her original chuck Taylor converse(I also have like all the comics). Lol 😂 still not over the fact that they changed it
the wig looks absolutely amazing and the point shoes give me war flashbacks from when i used to dance ballet... before i hurt my ankles and completely gave up when i was 10
I am blown away... All these years I have been ignorant of the sheer amount of work good cosplaying entails! WOW!
Looking like a Bobble head just makes you look more like the cartoon character!
Most impressive!!! I was kinda worried about how that acrylic paint was going to work out as a dye job but once again you pulled it off!!! Bravissima!!!
I swear if marvel doesn’t do a live Gwen that’s on them, Bc this costume is fantastic!
The best wig spidergwen tutorial of the whole platform! Nice work, your cosplay is awesome 😍😍
One thing that could be cool is if you put a small magnet in both the top of the mask and sewn into the hood so that you can keep the hood on while you're wearing the mask, because in the movie her hood is magical and will never fall off
i actually did have magnet in my mask and on my hood to keep it in place!
@@AxcelerationDesigns hell yeah, that's cool
Who loves spider-gwen or spider women
WOW suit looks amazing!!!
I didnt even realize you had two different pairs of shoes until now. Genius.
Awesome video!💯🙏👐
...OK yeah definitely sticking to flats then since I'm very much not trained. I did consider twinning a pair of demi-pointe shoes with entirely flat-footed poses as a "hero" shoe (based on what pros had suggested in previous iterations of the PSA) but that's probably not worth the risk.
That wig is beautiful!
U are so talented
Ur gwen looks amazing
That was very impressive.
Well done.
You should have heat form the face shell with a heat gun or hair dryer before assembling it so the face shell don't look so big.
Incredible! ah I really missed your videos
You do make a good SpiderGwen 🔥
Omg the wig is amazing.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing Ax!
Alex missed you hooe everything was ok. Your tutorials are great and still use them for my young cos-players everyear when we go to a con to teach them how to handle problems at the cons. Thanks for coming back missed you and your tutorials.
i missed your videos so muchhh🥺💜
Great stuff as usual.
Thank u for the ballet disclaimer! I sure hope the kids wearing cups and socks will take notice! Even pre-pointe students shouldn’t attempt this.
Your so talented
So happy to see a new video from you! You look amazing. Good job :)
I love your cosplays they always turn so beautiful and when you you cosplay you look amazing.😊
Hoping to be Spider Gwen for Halloween 2022! I’ll be in pre-pointe at the time so maybe I’ll do a pointe cosplay in a couple years if I’m still into it then. Also, literally can’t find teal ballet shoes, so I’m just gonna use some flats lol. (Btw I’m planning on going as the comic version of Gwen)
How exciting!
Yay i love the wig tutorial
I always enjoy watching your tutorials. My fingers are now itching to get into crafting but yeah, gotta wait for the materials to arrive first :S
I wonder if you can make a male Spiderman full body suit.
Good job
Beautiful. And yeah the mask is ok, but spidey masks are already stupidly hard to do. Good job!
Nice video ! Thank you
You look amazing ma'am wearing a mask and being spider-gwen
What company did you buy the pointe shoes from?
How come no one ever tries the spray paint eyes with the mask? You could use a solid stencil of the mask and go over it with some spray paint. Go heavy at the center, the lightly as you go out for the edges. If you're worried about sight, cut out the shape of the eyes and glue some perforated vinyl on the inside. Make sure you line the edges of the vinyl with something sin and soft. food for thought.
I'm really not sure what you mean by spray painting the mask? What part? The eyes? Then you wouldn't be able to see
@@AxcelerationDesigns Like the rim around the eyes.
Thank you so much this was very useful
This is awesome 😂💕
Hi! Do you still take commissions for Snow White?
Random question, but were you on "Buddy vs Duff 2"? The Star Wars episode?
i was XD
Hi, what kind of paint did you use for the shoes ?
A simple google search would tell you this.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING DONT DO IT IF YOU ARENT TRAINED IN POINTE! The amount of young cosplayers I’ve seen wearing pointe shoes who clearly shouldn’t be wearing pointe shoes..... oof
THANK YOU are you are the best
🤔 hmmm interesting 👍.
Can you tell me where are those photos from at the start of the video
They were taken at various places downtown LA. all free locations we found that just looked good. The rooftops ones were a random apartment complex we knew someone who lived in so we were able to get it. But any rooftop will get you a similar vibe
Hey was that you on Buddy vs Duff 2 ?
yes it was ^_^

Point shoes are very different. Even if you don't go up on point they aren't good to wear if they aren't broken in. I suggest not using them unless you’re prepared to train your feet a bit
What colour are the shoes
They are a minty teal color
If you are the person that disliked the video and you're reading my comment I want to ask you why did you do that this is a useful video

Most of my wig heads i painted to look realistic so it would scare my roommate back in the day.
Do you accept commissions? I'd pay you to make me a suit
Why you do everything right??? 🤘😜
How many people didn’t actually do this tutorial
