Variks the Loyal Cosplay

Now that it's Halloween, I can finally post the finished photos of my Variks cosplay!

This was a challenging costume to make; I was on a pretty limited schedule, and learned a lot about new materials like Worbla and foam clay.

But it was also a lot of fun, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

If you want to see more of the costume and how it was made, you can check it out on my website!

Special thanks to the.dino.not.the.king on instagram, who took the photos for me!

Selkie Coat

Happy Halloween!! After almost a year of waiting to post about this costume, I'd finally like to show y'all my selkie coat

This is a costume I've wanted to make for years, and it was so awesome finally getting to see it through!

For more photos and information on how it was made, check out my website here: https://www.eds-costumes.com/completed-costumes/selkie

Thorin Oakenshield (more photos)

This is partially a test, because the tumblr tags seems to have eaten my first post, and I’m curious to see if this one works, but also. My photographer did such an amazing job, I want to show off all the photos!

For more, my portfolio is here!

My Thorin Oakenshield cosplay is done, and just in time for Halloween!

I’ve been wanting to make this costume for ages. The Hobbit was really the first story I fell in love with, and so being able to make a piece based on it has been such a joy.

I’m hoping to get some photos in the snow when my replica of Orcrist arrives, so follow this tumblr if you want updates on that. If you want to see all the photos of this costume, a break down of the individual pieces, and information on how I made this, you can check out my website. You can also find all of my other work there!

So I’m working on a Thorin Oakenshield cosplay for Halloween! This is my first full makeup test, after having spent two months working on the wig. There are definitely some things I want to work more on with this, but I’m really pretty pleased with what it looks like for the first full try.

This project won’t be done until Halloween, and dramatic photos probably won’t be released until late December. HOWEVER I will be posting updates as I finish each part of the costume, so if you want to see my progress, follow this tumblr, which is where I post all of my costuming stuff!

Also, I really think Thorin should be allowed to wear a shower cap with pastel pink strawberries. Really pulls the look together, you know?

Sparkly Star Dress: Completed Costume

I’m thrilled to have finally finished this sparkly star dress I made for my friend! It took almost two years, with a huge break in between and lots of glitter, but I’m really proud of how it turned out.

If you want to see more photos and information about it, you can check it out here!

Mr Night Makeup Tutorial

This is a complete makeup tutorial for the look I did for my Mr. Night costume! A special thank you to the handful of people who asked for this, I hope you e...

A couple of people requested this, so here’s a full tutorial for the Mr. Night makeup!

I’m finally done with my Attolia costume! This is based on the series The Queen’s Thief, by Megan Whalen Turner, whose blog you can also check out at @meganwhalenturner​.

I had a lot of fun making this costume, and I really enjoyed working with something so rooted in symbolism to the character. This series is also really important to me; I’ve been following it since elementary school, and Attolia Irene has always been one of my favorite characters. I’ve loved seeing how she’s developed and grown, along with all of the other characters.

If you want to check out a more in depth breakdown of my inspiration for this costume, as well as the design decisions I made while making it, you can check out my portfolio, and/or the final video wrapping up this project.

I’m finally close enough in the process of making my Attolia Irene cosplay that I’ve styled the wig!

I took inspiration from:

a few of @storylinecaroline‘s pieces, especially this one

this piece from @shebsart

and this lovely drawing by @praise-the-lord-im-dead

As well as a bunch of vaguely Greek looking hair I found on pinterest
