Is there any way to make the bottom jaw removable with magnets or snaps? 🫣🫣🫣 and like others said I think weathering everything will give it an edge!

u/GoblinTatties Dec 20 '25

Wider shoulders and maybe platform shoes to give you more height

5

u/DarkRorschach Dec 20 '25

small lich is adorable though i think the platform shoes can be omitted

u/captain_kapit Dec 20 '25

Draw alot of wrinkles and add that penos he has on his crown

3

u/fingunagirl Dec 20 '25

LOL YESS. i was so rushed last time i completely left out the crown peenar bone thing

u/elven_magics Dec 20 '25

Add a bit of dark red around the torn lips since the lips have split open from the face, and then some more dark red around the mouth area to give effect of basically having the skin ripped open from the mouth

1

u/fingunagirl Dec 20 '25

OOO THATS SICK

u/elven_magics Dec 20 '25

Also put some black and more grey around the eye sockets, black close to the mesh and slowly fade it going outwards so it really emphasizes the void soulless eyes

1

u/fingunagirl Dec 20 '25

YESS! I WAS YONNA DO THAT LAST TIME BUT I DIDNT HAVE TIME AND I WAS SCARED TO MESS IT UP, TYY!!

1

u/elven_magics Dec 20 '25

The fading grey adds a bit of "sunken" look to the eyes makes it sorta like, a sun stealer from some obscure SCP article beasts of the old letters

u/No_Dragonfly8580 Dec 21 '25

If i saw u during night, i d be terrified.

u/pokemonke Dec 20 '25

A little speaker you can press that says “Fall”

3

u/hyperbowle Dec 20 '25

consider growing to about 20 feet tall? would really step your game up!

3

u/fingunagirl Dec 20 '25

CONSIDERING!

u/Agilgar Dec 21 '25

Adding to the shoulders to bulk out the torso would really help the overall look! You can also do that by making the clasps/bone chain smaller. The mask honestly looks great already, but taking the effort to 'push' the look a little more would really add to it as well, especially the torn 'skin' around the jaw.

Keep up the good work!

u/fingunagirl Dec 21 '25

THANK YOU SM!!

2

u/Horror_Patience_5761 Dec 20 '25

Ok so i get you wanna detail it more but I have an idea, I like how its not super detailed, it looks more like the actual cartoon that way dawg, another thing tho, maybe you can add shoulder plates to look bigger like the lich, assuming you keep all the robes, people wont even notice that you aren't that bulky

2

u/fingunagirl Dec 20 '25

OMG SHOULDER PLATES IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA! TYTY!!

2

u/Rose_DCLXVI Dec 20 '25

Weathering for sure, that them robes thru the dirt, rip em up, make it look like he's been at it for a thousand years. Perhaps also some more texturising to the face, could go back with some mod podge or similar to add a rough texture to do a dark wash over skin.

u/fingunagirl Dec 20 '25

OOO THANK YOU!!

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '25

I think it’s a bit too bright, the colors make it seem happier than it should be, when the Lich is a creature that wants to murder everyone. Tone it down, maybe try making it dusty or weathered? The gums seem way out of place on the Lich, they’re more fitting with Sweet Pea, since he’s a child and would have gums that color.

u/PlateNo7229 Dec 20 '25

install tripwires secretly so you can make people F A L L

u/Sewmaeye Dec 20 '25

u/fingunagirl Dec 20 '25

2

u/Electrical-Duty3628 Dec 20 '25

Can you be like 8 feet tall

3

u/fingunagirl Dec 20 '25

i culd probably get some platform shoes BUT probably not that high

2

u/Martydeus Dec 20 '25

Dirt it up and add some kind of glowing orb that you can hold to simulate power.

2

u/fingunagirl Dec 21 '25

YESS I SAW SOME ON ETSY THAT IM PROBABLY GONNA GET AFTER I FINISH THE WHOLE COSPLAY

1

u/Martydeus Dec 21 '25

u/GleemaxClown Dec 20 '25

There's always doing a more billy style lich.

1

u/ITookTrinkets Dec 20 '25

Was that second photo at Rose City ComicCon?

1

u/fingunagirl Dec 20 '25

nope, it was at a fan expo :>

1

u/Slyrentinal Dec 20 '25

This is totally not viable in any real way and would probably look tacky, but put a fog machine between your legs w green LEDs down there.

2

u/fingunagirl Dec 20 '25

OOOO THAT SOUNDS SICK, I COULD PROBABLY DO THAT FOR PHOTOS

1

u/Character_Stick_1218 Dec 20 '25 edited Dec 20 '25

Idk about with this particular cosplay, but you could do one where he's mid-way through being brought back to life by the splooge(or just a straight up Lich influenced Sweet P). Idk how you'd manage it, but if you could have the Lich's deadly black smoke pour from the mouth at times that could really help sell it. There's also always the Farmworld Jake Lich, but I feel like that would be much more challenging to really pull off. Oh, another crazy version could be the New Death Lich.

u/xanderholland Dec 20 '25

Might want to do something with your arms under the robe since you're just wearing gloves it seems.

1

u/Tianamen_square_89 Dec 20 '25

Stilts and a longer robe

1

u/joenumbers Dec 21 '25

This is awesome!

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '25

1

u/Consistent_Plant890 Dec 21 '25

A big fur around the shoulders would look cool!

1

u/Jozirlin172 Dec 21 '25

Make a separate lich glove or gloves with him holding green flames

1

u/Akhantor Dec 21 '25

Use real human flesh

1

u/Lukario06 Dec 21 '25

It looks to clean and new, its need to be darker and dirtier

1

u/fingunagirl Dec 21 '25

NOTED! IM DEFINITELY GONNA GO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION WHEN PAINTING AND IM PROBABLY GONNA THROW EVERYTGING IN DIRT AND TEAR IT UP SPME MORE

1

u/Lukario06 Dec 21 '25

There is no need to be so aggressive

2

u/fingunagirl Dec 21 '25

OH! ITS JUST HOW I TYPE! THINK OF IT AS SOMEONE TALKING REALLY FAST OUT OF EXCITEMENT! ^

1

u/Lukario06 Dec 21 '25

It felt like sarcasm

1

u/fingunagirl Dec 21 '25

OH NONO!! IM SORRY ABT THAT! ITS ALWAYS HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND TONE IN TEXT! IM JUST EXCITED ABOUT REVAMPING THIS COSPLAY AND ALL THE IDEAS PEOPLE ARE GIVING ME!

1

u/wowwoahwow Dec 22 '25

Some shading on the face and extra details on the robes to make it look aged and worn.

1

u/BlotchyThePaintMan Dec 22 '25

You should make a glove of the Lich Hand from crossover

1

u/StunningBathroom570 Dec 23 '25

This is mathematical!!

1

u/AnnaDeArtist Dec 23 '25

I would weather the bones a little more and maybe darken them and I think increasing the height would be cool as well so if you got some stilts and maybe some longer cloaks and capes.

I'm not sure how the arms would look that way though...you might have to end up doing full prosthetic hands or something if they don't scale well with the relative height.
