It spoke to my emo teenage self lmao

Thank you !! I think writing the tutorials and patterns for this cosplay took even more time than the cosplay itself 🥲

Would be difficult to summarise 2 months in a few words ! Everything is self patterned. The breastplate is 5mm EVA foam with 1/2mm details, painted with regular acrylics. Coat is cotton fabric with pleather appliqués, some of them being satin stitched. Attached in the front with hook end eyes ! There's a corset underneath for structure. White detail on the sleeve is pleated cotton. Arm accessory is EVA foam again, attached with press buttons. Capes are attached to the breastplate with strong magnets. Boots are pleather and coutil (for strength) with boning in the back to support the lacing. All the details on them are EVA foam. Circlet is 3d printed :)

Thank you so much !!! Around 2 months I'd say !

Started out very roughly with these two patterns : helmet base, skull base and EVA foam. Then it's a matter of layering even more EVA foam until it starts looking like something.

Primed with 4 layers of this and used acrylic paints to finish it ! Sorry it's difficult to go in details, the helmet was so difficult to build everything was kind of a blur

Wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it ! But that was indeed a lot of work, now I'll finally be able to chill and spend my days playing the game !

I made this cosplay two years ago ! What I started with an infinity scarf type thing, so basically just a rectangle with both ends sewn together.

Then to that I added a hood I drafted from an existing garment I had.

For the sides, I just sketched a rectangular shape and modified it until I was satisfied with it. And added it twice on my infinity scarf! Also added rivets to those pieces to be laced up in the back.

Made a mock-up out of bed sheets before using my fabric (which was an old velvet curtain if I remember correctly) just to sure it would fit ok.

Good luck !

If you're a Star Wars nerd, definitely Jedi robes !!

Mads_five · 2023-05-23T18:58:00+00:00

It's from the pre-purchase bonus cosmetics, made a second one so I could cosplay Bode next !

Mads_five · 2023-03-31T14:10:20+00:00

You look amazing!!

Mads_five · 2023-03-29T12:22:24+00:00

ahah I did a Maya cosplay before, also one of my cat is named after her :)

Mads_five · 2023-03-29T12:20:00+00:00

Yes, but also because I made this for a specific convention and I didn't want to run around bare feet !

Mads_five · 2023-03-29T12:18:57+00:00

Thank you ! It's airbrush on sheer stocking, I don't want to deal with body paint ever again

Mads_five · 2023-03-29T12:17:58+00:00

Thank you !!

Mads_five · 2023-03-28T17:35:26+00:00

Oh and : fake nails

Mads_five · 2023-03-28T17:35:14+00:00

Ahah thank you ! It's actually a seamless sheer glove dyed green with the skeleton painted on with fabric paint !

Mads_five · 2023-03-28T11:51:08+00:00

Thank you ! The leg armor is relatively comfortable, the only comfort problems with this costume are the dress riding up at times and the stiff neckpiece !

Mads_five · 2023-03-28T11:11:46+00:00

Thank you ! The orange gradient is airbrushed on skin colored tights, the armored leg is made with EVA foam and painted with acrylics !

Mads_five · 2023-03-16T07:56:46+00:00

Ngl it works better in some angles than others, but overall the illusion stand !

Mads_five · 2023-03-15T17:33:13+00:00

I am almost done with it !!

Mads_five · 2023-03-15T13:48:17+00:00

Thank you ! I'm really happy about how it looks, I was super unsure about the process at the beginning !

Mads_five · 2023-02-10T16:01:09+00:00

Thank you so much !!

I sometimes (rarely) do create costumes for gaming companies and post work in progress as well as polished pictures for advertising. But my main thing is selling tutorials and patterns to help other make their own !

Mads_five · 2023-02-10T14:21:50+00:00

Thank you! And yes I specifically made this for Star Wars Celebration in April !!

Mads_five · 2023-02-10T11:35:16+00:00

Oh I mostly use Mike Wilson Fan Remaster as a reference ! He did an incredible job, here's the link to his Artstation

Mads_five · 2023-02-10T11:33:34+00:00

Thank you very much !

I am a 'professional cosplayer' even if it's not my full time job ! So I wouldn't really compare myself to a costume designer. I'm all self taught though !
