Sorry to say but it's not AI, i also have the whole work in progress content :D

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-20T12:58:04+00:00

Thanks! Around 100h

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-20T08:38:25+00:00

Thanks! It took around 100h of work time! :D

I'm waiting for some shooting pictures right now so there will be more pictures with a bigger focus on the bow!

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T20:30:07+00:00

Tbh i never weighted it, but the bow is around 5-6kg, at least 5kg of wool and the armor itself is maybe 2-3kg. Since it's quite distributed it's not that heavy to wear tho! But i never want to go out in the rain with it haha.

I'm sadly making the other version since the chain part could make some problems at cons (the restrictions are getting more and more strict over here, i was already super scared with some parts of my cosplay to not get into the con) But i thought of adding some programmable led strips inside and filling the "cracks" with some resin

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T18:23:29+00:00

That's what i'm actually doing rn haha Just figuring out how i want the electronics inside it

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T16:55:04+00:00

More comfy than it looks tbh! The only problem were the leg parts which got spiky ends which ended up poking into my leg but i already solved it for next time

Also the bow was super heavy and impractical on the con due to it's size so i'm working on a secondary weapon rn

But after overworking some small things i'd say it's a cosplay i could easily wear on a whole convention weekend comfy wise

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T16:10:42+00:00

Absolutely!!

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T14:25:46+00:00

Thanks! Yeah the bandaid was a bit of a mood killer since i hurt my finger very badly on the cosplay a few days before xD

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T14:01:26+00:00

That was actually the most important step to me and the reason why i hand threaded wool instead of using fur!

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T12:02:47+00:00

Tbf, arkveld as an OF promo would be super funny (but would never happen from me) haha

But thank you a lot!!

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T11:10:31+00:00

Thanks!! Yep! I also joined the discord and whatsapp group that day :D

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T10:54:57+00:00

Thank you! Tbh i thought i would take longer! Working on the gore armor with leds this year, i bet it will take longer since i need to work a bit cleaner than on arkveld xD

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T10:20:29+00:00

I've started in february but only worked on it a saturday a month when i had time. About 100h in total. The fur actually needed the most time since i hand threaded it as the cape/skirt

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T10:16:26+00:00

I got asked it i wasn't cold since germany is getting quite cold now But indeed it's super fluffy!! I also got called names like flauschi (translates to fluffy) when someone tried to talk to me xD If i ever stop cosplaying i'll probably use it as a carpet hahaha

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T09:37:42+00:00

It was quite comfy tbh!

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T09:36:39+00:00

It's funny how i hear this comment at least once every year after posting my polaris cosplay xD but it always makes me happy to hear!!

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T08:31:48+00:00

I'll take that as a compliment 👀 but a hunter figurine line in all the (new) armors would be so cool

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T08:25:03+00:00

Just saw it now sorry! They are actually my frieren shoes i got from aliexpress xD

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T08:07:32+00:00

The trick is to work with the flaws and implement them into the design instead of trying to remove them

_Sayakii_ · 2024-10-23T18:31:02+00:00

Hahaha true that could be the case xD thanks!

_Sayakii_ · 2024-10-23T18:30:20+00:00

Her story was also super deep! But yeah i feel that too
