Hi! I just found your page after continuously searching for patterns for paladin armor and first off, you did an amazing job!! Seriously props to you! Secondly, I wanted to ask you, if those patterns you posted could be printed to scale so I could just straight up trace it onto foam after printing. Or should I just make my own patterns based on yours? Still kind of a noob at armor making lmao, have a great day!

For best results you should be patterning it yourself. Armor needs to fit your body exactly right to be comfortable. I put the pattern pieces up just as a reference of roughly what it should look like when you make yours.

Not sure if you still check here but do you think you could do a rundown of your recent keith cosplay? The S8 marmora uniform? Yours is the first I’ve seen and I’m in the middle of gathering materials to do my own but as this would be my first cosplay I’d love to have some insight from someone more skilled than myself.

Since I haven't posted this costume on here I'm assuming you saw it on my IG? I dont really check this much but I always respond in a timely manner on IG and if you want anon there is tellonym.

My S8 costume is just my regular blade suit with the wrap on top which is 3 "pieces" of broad cloth. 2 shoulder sashes and a "skirt" sewn together. It is not completely canon accurate because the under suit is slightly different than the regular blade members.

Generally it is hard to give full run downs of costumes so if you have specific questions you will get a better answer.

Hi! Could you give a tutorial or a breakdown on how you made you Blade of Marmora Keith cosplay? Such a references and materials?

I can give a brief rundown of how I did it: Materials: Grey, black, and blue spandexEva foamInsulation foam (used for packing plates)Purple 12V LED strip lights and battery pack Wires VelcroContact cement and hot glue Water shoes Belt and pouch off of Amazon (I painted it brown) Green 1/2" upholstery foam from joanns Steps: -Traced out a body suit I already jad on paper (or get someone to trace you or a shirt and pants) -Drew out the color blocking of the suit and cut out my pattern -Add seam allowance when transferring the pattern to the fabric -Assemble - I attached the hood last hand stitching just the front and leaving the back open for the zipper to go up the back. - the lower let's just went last my ankle and then I wore the black water shoes -i made knee, elbow, wrist and shoulder pads using the green foam and then covered them in spandex (see jediManda ahsoka headpiece YouTube tutorial for method)Chest plate:-made the base the same way I did the paladin armor and left it open under my arm pits and held them together with velcro (both to the 2 sides and go the body suit) - added lights using 4 layers of the insulation foam and then strips of leds all soldered together and the battery pack was in the back of my chest plate. I hope that helps

After searching far and wide for a comprehensive armor tutorial for materials and the way that it works on a body, I'm so happy to have found yours. Thanks so much for making one, especially for yours, which turned out so well! I'm so excited to take the paper model ive made and turn it into some rad pala-armor. :))

Thanks! Good luck on your armor! I'm sure it will come out great!

Hey, I'm about to start cosplaying Romelle. I love Voltron and so far have had the honor of cosplaying Coran. I was wondering if you had a pattern to romelle or did you wing it?

I made my own pattern by tracing a large tshirt onto paper and then just kinda winging it for the coat tail. I drew out the color blocking and cut out the pattern.

I first stumbled across your cosplays on amino, then came across them again on tumblr and can I just say??? You're so awesome?? Marry me???

Awe thanks ^_^ I actually post mostly on Instagram under the same name. And that's a little odd you found me on amino because I've never used it....
