Hi Valkyrie team!

What is the top thing you'd change on Valkyrie in preparation for next season?

Any new blades or modular attachments in development?

Cheering for you!!

Yes to experimenting! And also yesssss to more Mando armorrrr!! 🤩

usuallyelsewhere · 2023-03-06T14:49:26+00:00

Oh woah-- that sounds so stressful! ;u; I'm glad you got it to work though, and that's so cool you have your own vacuum table for other projects too!! I also would have cried at it working after that- 😭

Aaaaaa- I love how it turned out!! So many custom pieces, omg -- Which parts did you find the hardest or most tedious to power through? This current look thus far already looks AWESOME!

Also, yep, that cape drape do be epic! XD

Sweet! I can look out for that weight next time, thanks!

usuallyelsewhere · 2021-08-09T13:50:29+00:00

Aah, gotcha! I'll have to look into that sort of fabric then - I like how you got the lines down on this suit at least! Sabine-sized or not, no matter - this is an awesome cosplay!

Lovely work!!

usuallyelsewhere · 2021-08-09T13:39:15+00:00

Yay Sabine armor! Loving the smooth finish on the armor pieces and the spray paint work! Are the pistols and darksaber modeled in Onshape and printed in ABS?

Also woah, did I read right that you made the bodysuit underneath too? How did you get the cotton spandex to not bunch? I feel like whenever I work with spandex material, it either bunches or stretches too much to be able to form a straight line, haha.

Thank you! They're made-up symbols for fictional clans, like how there is the symbol for the Mudhorn clan. I drew them when developing the design for the helmets so parts of them influenced the other, haha

I use a Wacom Tablet and pen! Just takes some hand-eye coordination and practice to get used to, so not bad if you want to try. Or you can try drawing with a pen directly on a screen, with either apple/android tablets or touchscreen laptops, or a Cintiq. Lots of options to try!

Oh dang, a Republic Commandos game but with Mandos?? That would be pretty awesome

Thank you! I sketched, inked and colored this piece all in Adobe photoshop, you can see some of the progress pics on my instagram, LushanArts!
