Heh, be careful to avoid slaping knees. 
Painted tights? PremaidPremade? Image search (leg overdose
) shows many, but so far none with same layout.

Twitter? Isn't Instagram better for photos though? ( I avoid social media like I would avoid a rabid skunk, so I have no clue.)
Very impressive on the H.Q. Cosplay, but, Bitte, tell me that you will protect your knees somehow. Bumping into something with those studs there will hurt.

As a kid I climbed hundreds of trees and rubbed all over every kind of floor. Slapped knees are nothing new to me

The first one. Premade? Come on! You should know me better by now!
I used opaque red tights, died the black parts with fabric paint (and acrylic paint after I ran out of fabric paint
) and applied the clinch bolts with a hammer. That was a long and loud procedure...

I'll be needing good knowledge of some social media for work soon and since I have no experience with Twitter until now, I'll be learning by doing. Since you can "tweet" pictures, too, it makes little difference for me. Seriously, where's the big difference anyway?

Painting all that black except four rombs... dedication.
I would glue some EVA foam snips behind the metals, just in case.

Of course!
If that makes you happy I'll see what I can do But now: Update for the Healer!
This will be one of the shoulder plates for Reverend Healer. The surface still needs smoothing and paint.

Do you see a Druze in your future? You may want to copy this reference. Nice trick for the hairdo.
Also, do you think a bat with spikes is OK? I mean, with the on going level of arseholiness to cover the spread ineptitude, or lack of acceptance of impossible things being impossible, I don't know... maybe if all rubber and obviously clownish.

I like the Druze really well, but the hairdo is indeed a problem. Where you can see the girls sculpt in the picture you would see the wig cap at the cosplay. That's pretty ugly... I'll do some tests with other wigs and see if I can come up with a solution, but it will definitely not be like in that picture.
As for the bat: I made the pink bands that the spikes are attached to detachable. So I can take pictures with spikes and detach them for the con. It's way too dangerous to go with killerspikes to a con!
That girl has dyed hair, with 4 cornrows over the ear and then painted lines to extend the effect, so it looks like shaved. The left over black zones are a problem, but I think she didn't went white first or has grown back a lot.
If you mean you would use a wig and it would be hard to do with that... no idea. Do a version with own hair (instead of "mask+wig" as many previous cosplays)? Tint hair slightly (highlighting, lowlighting, streaks or whatever... change the shade a bit) if you were going to do it for normal live anyway (probably not blue)? Multicolor, with yours for tricky zones, and wig for extra parts?
(Always learning new words
)
Plus, if you scroll up in the link I posted, you can find another picture. No blue hair and even simpler hairdo.

Okay it's like this:
My natural hair is dark brown. If I wanted to due it in another color than black or very subtle shades of other dark colors (like the dark purple I had two years ago), I'd need to first bleach it and then I could dye it in the final color.
That's way too much work, money and hair structure for just one cosplay!
I really dig the blue hair and would like to do the Druze, but a wig would be necessary.
If I do this hairdo with a wig you can see the wig cap through the strains.
As I said: I'll do some tests someday. Maybe a variation could work. But since I have several cosplays on my to do list that I get paid for, the Druze is pretty far in the future anyway.

No idea was about how hard to get it done. Currently watching a TV series where they later have interviews and they manage to pull all kind of things, but they don't explain how hard in most cases.
If you need color tests with pictures, just ring.
Getting sponsors? That is new IIRC. Congrats.

Gotta ask my friend (also a cosplayer) about hair spray. She does pretty radical colour changes as far as I can see.
Might be a solution. Then again, might be not.

So "paint your head" is not insane? Now that I know searching is not a waste, I found a spray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFgZb1Gsaqs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5ZeYpyPZOY but those looks a bit "glued"; other brand maybe, this one only as transition to wig at best. Also found references to "cream".

Those sprays can look pretty weird in real life. At least the ones I've seen.
Sponsors for Cosplays? Awesome
The shoulder plates look just right. The lettering, freehand? I should try something like that on my Rev-Healer mini. It only been waiting to be finished since, uhm, since right after GenCon...2014.

Not sponsors really. I'll have a commission and some paid-to-attend-cons this year. Maybe I'll get the materials paid, too, but that's not fix yet. Harley Quinn is one of these projects.
And all I wanted to say is that these projects have priority from my "own" stuff.

The lettering itself is freehand, yes. The symbol itself is made with the help of a template.
For the corn rows, could you attach a hair extension backwards (so it naturally falls on your face instead of laying against the wig) and then flip it over to cover the bead?
Thinking if you used something like this to attach each row:

Well, I've asked my local cospalyer on the Druze Hacker hair problem, and she suggest bleaching and dyeing only individual streaks of your hair, without having the chemicals get into your hair follicles and thus damaging them. Says she has done that multiple times, and damage to the hair was minimal.
Now, regardless on your decision on using this advice (or not), I'd suggest you do some more research if possible: I'm hardly an expert, and didn't understood half of what she was telling me...

Well, it's really kind that you all try to find solutions for that, but as I said it's still not decided yet if I'll cosplay the Druze AT ALL and if WHEN.
So maybe focus on first things first and solve that problem when it's eventually in line, okay?

Well, from what I've seen so far, the Reverend Healer is going to be as stunning as your other projects

That's... really damn convincing.
Well done!
If you don't mind... How did you go about creating that? Was there a base shirt that you made some slight modifications or did you create those patterns and cut and set them, yourself?

No base shirt, no. I made it completely from scratch.
I used a pattern for a common T-shirt and modified it to have the Healers open décolleté. Then I cut the patterns from "flex foil". This is usually used by copy shops to print writings and patterns on shirts and needs a specific machine to be applied, but you can also get it via eBay and apply it with a common smoothing iron. After cutting the fabric I ironed the patterns on (this needs some pressure), sewed on the decorative stitching at the back and sewed it to be a shirt. Then I sewed the hood by a pattern I designed on my own (again the patterns are from flex foil) and sewed it to the shirt.
After that I only had to add details like the fake leather at the neckline, the buttons on the revers and the straps.
I hope this was understandable. If there are any questions left unanswered let me know!

I think I got most of it. I'll have to see about learning something more from your advances. Having just moved and still in a little unstable of a situation, I'll have to try for a new costume for GenCon2017, rather than this year.
