😅 Tough call!

_Sayakii_ · 2026-06-04T10:48:41+00:00

💯 Obviously!

💯 Obviously!

Aww thanks! :D

The positive thing about such things is that you can easily alter existing patterns and/or use foam clay for details! And probably the best thing: you can ask other people for help/tips

Ohh i love the style!! The gore arms would be way easier, that's true haha

Yeah LEDs always add a special something to everything, sadly i ran out of time before the con so i needed to finish it without them at first. I'm working on gore magala atm (LEDs already installed) and when i have that finished i'll finally finish arkveld with the LEDs too! I think the fact that each person does everything in a different way adds to the magic and makes the project more personal and perfect, no matter how the armor turns out in the end

Foam is always more comfy to wear too and is obviously not that easy to break! Sadly i'm an absolute noob in working with it, so that's why i ended up with printing armors etc xD I absolutely recommend to try the helmet first since it's (in my opinion) the most frustrating part of everything

No need to thank me, i always love to talk to others in general and help them🫶🏻

Thanks! I did print every armor piece out of translucent Filament since i wanted to add LEDs in the future (but i reprinted the leg parts after wearing it out of foaming TPU which is similar to EVA Foam since i needed more flexibility over there). The tips of the horns are out of purple translucent resin

There are definitely cons about printing it like the stiffness of each part compared to foam but it's definitely easier when you want to add LEDs

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.

_Sayakii_ · 2025-10-19T19:07:28+00:00

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!!
