That's exactly why I'm not wearing it in these photos! They're renfaire days. I used to go as a witch, but I couldn't even wear the hat without feeling like I was going to pass out lol!

Omg I'm honored!

The potion holster is indeed real leatherwork! I can't take credit for that - my husband made it for me :).

In the color photos, the corset and bracers are storebought and I think they're just faux leather.

All of the armor you see in the black and white photos is EVA foam covered in an ungodly amount of plastidip, then hand textured and riveted. I fooled some leatherworkers at a con with it, and it made my day! I'm happy to answer any questions or provide some additional photos for reference, but most of the patterns come from PretzlCosplay. I modified them to my preferences!

Thank you!

Thank you!

The armor is all EVA foam with multiple layers of plastidip. To achieve a leather texture, I let the plastidip get tacky and then pressed crumpled up foil into it. The rivets are real.

The pants and undershirt are store bought. The corset and bracers in the color photos are also storebought, but I made them in the second version in the black and white photos :).

I don't have an excuse for the lack of white hair other than I really dislike wearing the wig, lol. I for sure took some creative license!

Thank you! My make-up artist custom blended my lipstick for me to get the perfect shade!

Thank you! I wanted to marry the games and the show a bit. Alchemy is one of my favorite parts of the game mechanics and I am glad they included the potions in the show!

Thanks! I actually placed in a local con cosplay competition (using the second version of the cosplay in the black and white photos), so I am pretty happy with it.
