I finished the Doctrine Book-bag for my Lamb cosplay! I think jt turned out pretty well, I used black foam clay for the edges and was going to carve them when dried, but I actaully?? Really like the goopy unclean look so I might keep it
I might still carve it idk, and maybe replace the strap with a chain for the whole theme
I know the Doctrine is a book in game and usually as a prop but I need something to hold my phone and wallet in easy access for when we scour the artist alley, so this idea came to be. Now it can hold my stuff AND it's in character!
I also recycled a cardboard box to put my cosplay in, made it look COTL specific:
After a bit of a dry spell where I dealt with a lot of real life nonsense, I found myself back in the studio this weekend. I’ve begun my next cosplay project - Marisha Ray’s Laudna on Critical Role got a new look, so I must make it!

While I wait for a few more things to arrive before I begin work the dress, I started in on the wooden house backpack… and it is already complete! It took 24 hours start-to-finish and it weighs less than 4 oz.
I need more projects like this in my future, I really enjoy this kind of model making/fabrication.
It’s mostly cardboard (Amazon boxes) under EVA foam, but it will be able to hold things as a backpack! I love heat carving EVA foam, it’s almost therapeutic. Smells horrible though - always wear a respirator!
