Keep reading for more details on the making of the cosplay props:
馃尭The Satori mask馃尭:
I made this mask using worbla on a foam base. The LEDs I used inside the eyes were taken from LED tea candles. They give the light a cool flickering effect.
馃尭The right arm馃尭:
For Rauru's right arm I wore the runes on top of a scaly glove.
-> First I sewed the glove from a very textured jersey fabric.
-> Then I added some artificial nails on top, which I modified to look like claws.
-> In order to construct the pattern for the runes, I actually had to create a makeshift cast of my arm first. For this, I wrapped my whole arm in newspaper and crepe tape. After cutting the cast open and removing it from my arm, I filled it with more newspaper to make it sturdy enough to work with.
-> This paper cast of my arm was perfect for constructing the pattern, since it could be rotated in any direction (as opposed to my real arm馃檭)
-> Using the finished pattern, I made the runes from foam rubber and worbla and shaped them with heat. I painted them using terra-cotta spray paint.
馃尭The clothing馃尭:
I used satin fabric for a nice and flowing look on the clothes.
In order to recreate the shimmering pattern on the robe, I used heat transfer vinyl.
馃尭The armor馃尭:
All armor pieces are made from foam and worbla. I've been using this technique for many years, it really works great! The armor pieces were then painted with lacquer and gold acrylic paint.
Making this cosplay was a lot of fun!
Tears of the Kingdom offers so many beautiful designs and outfits.
I can't wait to make more from this game! <3

Twilight's crown cosplay
I still can't believe I actually did it!
I wasn't at all sure about my 3D model but I'm happy I tried, I love the result!
Once it's completely painted and assembled I'll definitely show it to you!

Zonai Zelda - Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

I worked on this costume from June to December last year. It was a labor of love and I'm very sorry to say I'm disappointed in my own work. It was my first time sewing a dress, so I'm trying not to be too hard on myself. It's hard when I want to portray Zelda just the right way! The wig gave us all kinds of trouble the morning of our shoot so I just had to accept it as it was. ToTK Zelda has become one of my very favorite iterations of the character!
