#sidebyside of Acxa - I’m still ridiculously happy with how this costume turned out. Translating flat 2D outfits into something you can wear in the real world can be such a pain so I’m really proud of making it work! I want to trim the wig a little next time I wear it but other than that, I wouldn’t change much. I think this is as close as I’ll ever get to being a 6’4” alien badass. . #acxa #acxacosplay #voltron #vld #VoltronCosplay #VoltronLegendaryDefender #galra #galragenerals #lotorsgenerals #cosplay

Acxa's little armored hairpieces have ended up becoming one of my favorite parts of this cosplay! I love that they feel both tough and cute and they're a nice unique design element for the character. I'm so excited to wear this on Saturday at LACC with some other badass Galra ladies! . #acxa #voltronlegendarydefender #vld #voltron #acxacosplay #lotorsgenerals #galragenerals #makeup #bodypaint #foamsmith #cosplay

My first proper fitting of Acxa’s armor together, and I’m very relieved that everything is fitting correctly so far! There’s a few things that need adjusting - I want to take down some of the bulk of the shoulders and collar for the sake of getting through doors but that’s an easy fix because I erred on the side of too big rather than too small for this exact reason. It’s incredibly silly armor - it’s like football pads + a giant target on your vulnerable tummy. But I kinda love it. I feel like with Voltron, you need to just embrace the fact that it’s a show about giant robot space cats and just roll with the ridiculous shoulder pads! . #acxa #acxacosplay #voltron #voltronlegendarydefender #vld #cosplay #foamsmith #galra #galragenerals #lotorsgenerals

I thought I was going to end up hating Acxa's chest piece and redoing it but I'm shockingly really happy with it! It looks even better on me because my dress form is slightly bigger and shorter than I am so it's not quite as tailored sitting on it. I still maintain that it's a really, really weird design that doesn't really work in 3 dimensions but I think mine is close enough! . #acxa #acxacosplay #galra #galragenerals #lotorsgenerals #voltron #vld #voltronlegendarydefender #cosplay

The lighting in my apartment is usually such garbage that it eats the color in my photos, but sometimes I can catch the sun early in the morning! These are the true colors of my Galra armor and I'm so happy with them! They're exactly like I wanted them to look! I still need to do a full test of all the armor, hair, and makeup but it needs to be when I can get away with being blue for several hours! . #acxa #acxacosplay #galra #galragenerals #lotorsgenerals #voltron #vld #voltronlegendarydefender #foamsmith #cosplay

It's a little ugly right now but mwhahahaha it lights up! Acxa's gun is about 75% done. I made the foam base and connected the lighting tonight and those were the two biggest parts. Not bad for a couple hours of work! Next I'll need to shape the sides with a dremel and refine the flaws so it'll be less ugly and boxy, but my dremel is currently on loan to a friend so this'll probably be set aside for a couple days now. So far so good! Fingers crossed the rest of Acxa's pieces go just as smoothly! . #acxa #acxacosplay #voltron #vld #voltronlegendarydefender #galra #galragenerals #cosplay #propmaking

Space elf ears acquired! Acxa’s ears are a little larger than the typical Tolkien style elf ears but aren’t Warcraft levels of pointy, so this pair from @aradanistudios is a pretty perfect medium size ear for her. They’re large without being overpowering and I love how they swoop at the tip. Once I have her skin tone pinned down exactly I’ll be painting these blue-purple to match, but for today they’re plain and I get to be a regular wood elf instead!
