Leela - Futurama
Character: Turanga Leela from the animated television series Futurama
Leela is a cyclops mutant and the Captain of the Planet Express Ship.
I know the costume isn't that great, [white camisole, black leggings] but I wanted to try and pull off the cyclops eye.
It's a wire eye patch with some lashes. I bent some wire into an oval, and shaped it around my nose. I wrapped the front of it in gutter mesh, spray painted it white, then attached some fabric to the top for a lid, stuck some fake lashed under the lid, and stitched a piece of elastic on it. The black eye dot is a metal button cover thingy.
The eye looks nice in the full body pictures, but in the close up shots you can see the whites of my eyes through the mesh. I did Leela because everyone expected me to be Amy [cause they're all racist! jk. I did Leela because I had the purple wig left over from doing Psylocke]. I also planned to make a Bender costume for my man-friend [cause robots are awesome, although after months of completely forgetting about it, maybe I'll wimp out and just make him a Fry costume.]
