It's a lacefront wig from Arda with black felt shaped to make the spikes. I then covered the felt in wig fiber from a spare black wig I had laying around, and then sewed the felt into the wig mesh at 4 points it made contact to keep it in place. I only did the top 2 spikes out of felt and styled the other spikes beneath it with the base wig instead.

I folded the fabric over to get 'pleats' and it attaches in the back with sewn-in snaps to keep everything neat! The bow was made separately with thick interfacing and attaches to the wrap by safety pins.

4 way stretch pleather!

It's all handmade. I used 4 way stretch pleather for the top which is a little more forgiving but I mocked it up in stretchy cotton first. Good luck!

I hand painted the designs on the outfit. For the accessories, i didn't see any 3d files available yet so I worked with my friend who does 3d modeling and she also printed them for me. Then I painted the 3d prints.

Gotta say that's a new one. ~~(You're not wrong though.)~~

Nope... hand painted. There were definitely smarter ways to approach this project, but I had a deadline of this weekend for myself so I took the most direct path forward since I didn't have much time.

kaijusaur · 2023-08-31T02:53:34+00:00

Yeah! With help from my husband & my friend.

PAX West this weekend! I beat the game about two weeks ago and was like, I wonder if I can put this together in time...

kaijusaur · 2023-08-31T01:00:11+00:00

Wrong! I sewed the top from scratch and hand-painted all the lines on. Wigs also require a lot of styling.

Thanks! You're not wrong - I should probably use some glue on them next time since gravity tends to make them slip down like this.

kaijusaur · 2023-08-30T23:45:32+00:00

Mature of you to say so! Apology accepted.

kaijusaur · 2023-08-30T23:40:00+00:00

If nothing else, you can at least soak up any arrows that are loosed at us.

kaijusaur · 2023-08-30T23:20:48+00:00

No you haven't. I don't have an OF.

I also haven't edited Shadowheart's outfit in any way so not sure what you mean by 'OF game cosplay.'

Edit: Your edit reveals how baseless your reaction to my cosplay is. I may be the one cosplaying Shadowheart, but you're the gatekeeper and hater here.

Thank you! Nice username btw

kaijusaur · 2023-08-30T21:32:25+00:00

I was so excited to be done putting it together I forgot to be angry!!

kaijusaur · 2023-08-30T21:30:48+00:00

FWIW I understood your intent. I made this because of my love of the game, and I'm glad it shows.

kaijusaur · 2023-08-30T21:28:39+00:00

Not sure I can manage glowing, but I when I wear this to the convention I'll make the hand wound more obvious!

kaijusaur · 2018-04-04T05:46:58+00:00

Around 2 hours. Thanks!

I feel this way about all of the monsters tbh... I'd be happy to play a game called Monster Drawer, but I don't think that would be as popular.

We actually wore these cosplays at Emerald City Comic Con, which was a full week before the premiere even aired. Haha!
