Working on some armor details while I still figure out the boots. They are looking great just hesitant still on placement for the LEDs. Enjoy 😁

Starting to get most of the base armor completed while still testing the durability of spliced LEDs and placement 😁 #cosplayer

The printed scales from Inkscape were a success! True success will be fitting in the LEDs some how but I’ll take this small win 😁

Living in Inkscape the past few weeks and making decent progress. Need to add the fold lines and LED diffuser foam placement and it should be good to go to print and cut 😁

🤩 thank you! she’s gonna be a big build probably not as big as Rose because wings 🤣 but still pretty big. I’ve got most of the base foam completed, working on details next.

So I’m way behind posting here so here is a quick update 😁 base foam armor is almost all done for Guardian Arkveld. I was able to shorten my arm armor successfully and Lunes coat for E33 has bias tape on it… for better or for worse 🤣. Have a great weekend!

I know, long time no post. I was in the void between cosplays and really just been planning how and when I wanted to start back up again.
Anyways super rough draft of Lunes expedition coat. I plan on getting more fabric this weekend to finish and clean it up. Have a wonderful week!

I tried it on so I could get the hip armor placement down. It is super cool to finally see it on, it didn't break, and I could move around. 🤩 what a win!

And her foam is all done 😁. Definitely won't call it 💯 until I'm on stage but until the photo shoot this most likely will be the last WIP update for Rose. No worries though I've got a few other cosplays I'm working on so I won't disappear too much 🤣

🥲 the app keeps crashing when I try to post my video so here are some pics of the attempt at rib bones.
I'm almost done with the clay work for this build. Painting has to be done outside which is why the wings have been paused for now. More to come!

Hip armor has started! Trying out new foam clay which has it's pros and cons. Probably mostly pros for people who are good at this kinda thing 🤣 since I'm not great at all it's tough to just throw it on there and hope it works. No turning back now though, onto the other hip piece 😁

I'm really enjoying the darker purple and part of me still wants it darker 🤣 so maybe another layer or a different darker layer... we will see.

I do tend to forget to post to my other socials 🤣 apologies. Plus I think I have the flu so my cognitive ability has gone out the window.
Too. Much. Purple. I have to admit the color has grown on me but the itch to make it darker is getting harder not to scratch. So here's to hoping it goes well 🤣

It does feel pretty awesome when the painting starts. I actually feel like progress is being made. Boning for the wings have started. Little haggard looking but just placement for now. 😁

Priming done! I'm pretty proud of the legs and head piece so far. My arms, well I definitely need more foam clay practice. I'm going to trust the process still and now figure out how to work my airbrush... stay tuned!

Some small progress this week 😁. I'm still learning foam clay and with that comes some goofy looking details and snapping my head armor in half multiple times.
Actually happy I did break it because I think it came out nicer this time around. Before and after photo as well as some arm armor details

Worked on my arm armor yesterday 😁 it's nice it's not in 3 separate pieces now and it's a bit more sturdy. Can't wait to paint!
