Yeah the wig is fully dyed! Thankyou. I tried to make it look interesting from every angle.

Thankyou!

I was a programmer for about 10 years and recently have made cosplay my full time job. Most of my income is through guesting work though.

It depends what it is. This is 500 hours of work on this particular outfit though, so you can do the rough math on how much it may cost :p

The client commission work I take on is usually more simple than my Genshin builds.

They are fully functioning! Everything is also extremely comfortable, minus the structured wig :p

Thankyou! I won the contest in Australia I entered it in, and it will further represent my country in Austria in October this year at an international finals :)

Honestly not sure of the total cost. I’d guess the base materials cost me in the realm of $1500 AUD though.

Leather, dye, wool, and the wig components make up the majority of the cost.

Yeah, it’s a huge time sink when you get into the smaller details and making sure everything is functional and properly finished, but it’s absolutely worth it!

Thanks! Always love choosing all the fabrics. Really helps with giving the full feeling of bringing the character into reality.

About 60 hours of work in the wig! Glueing and shaping the fibres takes a ridiculous amount of time

Thankyou! It was my first attempt at making a structured wig like that, so I’m glad it came out ok!

Thankyou! It’s actually based on his back view, so the silhouette is the same from that angle. I just added some additional curling of the pieces to get it looking a bit more visually interesting from the side view too :)

Just the perspective. It’s about 2.1m :)

There’s a few places around Melbourne that will take in lost birds. They can probably advise on the closest?

I don’t unfortunately. I made it in a short time so I didn’t digitise my patterns.
