Nameless Bard Cosplay Breakdown

Why? Why not (I want to share my creation especially with seeing so many tiktok cosplays of them, but never any guides/posts about how people. did stuff for them /lh)

I..don't know how well screen-readers will handle such a long post. I hope it works out okay.

Note: final image does not have alt image text at the time of posting, but I intend to add it later on

add alt text to images (all minus final since that would be a picture from the morning of)

Cloak

This thing is LONG. I'm about 5'1/155 cm, and this thing goes down to my KNEES (& big hood too!)

The inside fabric is from old off-white/beige bedsheets, and the outside fabric was from joann's (link).

I used a pattern from Aliceincosplayland on Etsy (link) (note: you don't need to buy a pattern to make a cloak- I bought it because of the different options between the lengths & hood sizes) ; for mine, I used the knee-length pattern & the larger hood size.

The large covered hook & eye also from joann's (link).

POCKETS! There's 2 small pockets close to the edges, & a bigger one I added this year to fit things like my PDM, testing kit, battery pack, etc. The smaller pockets have wooden buttons & button holes, the bigger one has a snap w/ a wooden button hot-glued on top because I didn't wanna tinker with the button hole foot.

Windblume Flower

I forgot what I traced but I made patterns for the leaves and petals & used a tutorial to make the tassels with red embroidery thread.

It's made of felt, hot glue, and I hand-sewed some bits like the button in the middle. It's also removable & fastens via safety pin sewed into the back.

Shirt

I gotta be honest, I forgot to work on it and tried to finish it about a week before the con. It looked like it was going well, but little errors made it look not up to the standard I was holding myself to and I hated it. I didn't even add the finishing touches with the shirt's collar's closure, or the ruffles on the cuffs of the sleeves. Instead, I'm using the original shirt I got off amazon last year (link), which I'm glad I kept intact when trying t make the second version's pattern.

I wanted to make another variation that was closer to his canonical outfit and was not made out of that plasticky fabric material (not that it was uncomfy, I just thought it'd be better for a convention center with a lotta people). The arm holes were a bit too big, the neck hole was a bit snug, and I botched the collar almost entirely. Lesson learned, make mockups and do not procrastinate on your projects until the week before the event.

I have the picture of it in this post.

If it counts, last year I made a slight alteration to the original shirt in which I sewed part of the slit in the top so it didn't go as deep. That's about it, honestly.

Shorts

Honestly, these weren't too bad overall. I cut the triangle panels out of white fabric, used embroidery thread for the criss-cross bits, and hand-sewed said panels onto the shorts.

It's great 'cus it has pockets and it's adjustable with the drawstring on the inside.

Wig

This fucker (part 2)

I combined a wig off Amazon (link) with wefts from hair extensions (link; though it comes with two I used just under one weft for both briads) to get the general shape

I went into detail on how I redid it here (also where the pictures are) but to sum it up: washed out hairspray/gel from last year, trimmed & rebraided the longer strands, used hairspray to do the bangs & gel to fix the ends.

Belt

I had this old brown fabric from an old sewing class project that I used. I measured the length by putting the rest of the costume on and using a measuring tape, overlapping a little so there was room to add the snaps for a closure. I think I used the trim from an old bedsheet and put it on either of the longer ends, then painted it yellow to match the bard's. Semi-reliable snap closure sewn in later, then boom, belt!

Lyre Prop

I forgot what I traced to make this pattern too, but I made it out of felt, essentially a stuffed toy. The little bar bit at the top is a separate pattern piece, as I tried making it all into one and was unable to turn it inside out. I forgot what kind of cord/string I used for the lyre strings, I just remember using mod podge to stiffen it as a finishing touch.

I used it last year as a prop, but I ended up just carrying it around so it might be best to leave home unless you plan to take a lotta pictures.

Miscellaneous Parts

Corset Belt: bought off amazon (link) ; It's comfy for the most part. liked the idea of a faux corset as opposed to the vest

Boots: last year I used a different set of boots that I've had for years, this year I'm using slightly newer boots that I got off my brother since they're small on him. They're timberlands I think? A li'l bit of height, lace-up, slight heel, feels 3% more badass /j

Makeup: I... know very little about makeup. I highly doubt the bard used makeup back then (/j). With that in mind, I really just use black eyeshadow & an eyebrow brush to fill my brows in and that's it. I use an old eyeshadow palette, but I also have an eyeshadow stick from the dollar store that works if you wet it slightly (mostly because it's a year old and is dried out by now..probably).

Wisp Prop: Touched on in this post, I like to take along one of my wisp dolls- the second one I've ever made, specifically. Made with my own personal pattern, he's easy to tuck away into a smaller pocket with just his head sticking out. I'll never forget the excitement of the Bennett and Fischl cosplayers I ran into last year when I took the wisp out to show them. 100/10, easily my favorite prop. The only real change made to him is that he has glow in the dark paint on his eyes, which probably won't do much in a convention setting but I still think it's cool.

Sword Prop: Very unnecessary & impromptu, but also very fun. At last year's con there was a vendor selling foam game/anime weapons and I got a foam Freedom Sworn. At the time of writing this out, I'm unsure if I will be taking it with me this year or not, since I can't exactly store it under my cloak when I'm not holding it.

Final Reveal!

The question is, does my mother trust me enough to sew on hair extensions while I have her wear the wig

Me procrastinating on my Venti cosplay for over a year and then busting out 80% of a Nameless bard cosplay in a day.

I think the thing that tipped me off that I’m more mentally I’ll about Venti than the average Genshin fan is that I went as the Nameless Bard to a convention and the amount of people who went “great Venti cosplay”

shakes the table it is not a want to cosplay nameless bard it is a Need

Try The Army Method To Venti Genshin Impact Cosplay The Right Way

In order to make Venti Genshin Impact cosplay a reality you'll need some basic items. The white stockings and his lyre are essential to complete the look and the beret is an excellent finishing element. If genshin impact cosplays 're not at ease wearing either of these options, you can buy the white beret or stockings separately. Aside from the basic accessories you'll also need buy a hat in order to complete your look. Venti genshin is a Bard This Cosplay of Venti, the Genshin Influence hero, Venti, is made up of numerous elements, including the unique costume as well as the detailed outfit. Yanagi Cosplay recreated her signature appearance of the bard by designing a unique dress that is a replica of his unique style. Her costume features gold trim, intricate patterns and even cuffs that are flowery. In addition to the bardic attire, Yanagi also cosplayed other characters including Inazuma's Raiden Shogun and the Catalyst user Mona. Alusagi is another popular Genshin Impact cosplayer who decided to dress as the resident of Mondstadt, Venti. Alusagi chose Barbatos as his character, a wandering bard who is a God of Freedom and has the Holy Lyre der Himmel. Alusagi's cosplay is also influenced by the visual novel of the game Venti: The Bard and His Music A skilled cosplayer made an astonishingly real Venti costume to be worn by one of the Genshin Impact fan. The costume is like the game's resident bard who is among the best-looking party members. The costume's creator, 'yukkikuma_cos, did an excellent job of re-creating the appearance of Venti in the game. Venti, one of the Seven member, is a wise bard after he reveals his true identity. Venti is a member of the original Seven and has had many adventures. Venti's hair appears black in his human form. But it is actually deep-blue. His tips are aqua-colored. To purchase a Venti wig, visit Cosplay Hero. He plays the lyre Venti one of the Seven of the Genshin Impact Series, is a demonic without gender that takes the form of a male human. In the game, he is regarded as a God and has the innate power of Anemo granting him special abilities. Venti appears for the first time in the initial act, The Outlander or the Archon Quest Prologue. In the event that he changes his true identity, Venti is a wise bard. Venti is a member The Seven and embodies wisdom. He has also benefited from numerous experiences. Venti is a valuable character because the way he reveals his identity is often shocking. Venti appears young, with fair skin and green eyes. His cosplay outfit includes an lyre as well as white stockings. Venti is a light-skinned man with a slim build and dark blue hair. His hair is wrapped into twin braids fading to aqua at the ends, and is glowing neon when he utilizes his powers. The costume is simple and elegant, resembling one of a bard. Bards are renowned for their white corset and teal-colored shorts. A teal-colored cape is matched to his shorts , and is tied with a gold and blue bow. Another characteristic that makes Venti such a beloved character is his affinity for drinking alcohol. Venti is a known alcoholic. His addiction to alcohol is the result of the loss he experienced from a friend during his rebellion. Venti drinks to get his creative juices flowing. The problem isn't limited to alcohol. He is also allergic to cats and will rarely sing in a cat-populated area. He is an instrument for a nameless bard The Venti cosplay is a gorgeous tribute to the well-known town bard from Genshin Impact. Fans will be amazed by the character's immense personality and fascinating story arc. The design and style of the Venti's outfit shows the artist's keen eye for particulars. The Cosplay's background features an oversized dandelion that evokes Venti's youthful look while creating a vibrant, beautiful look. This Cosplay from Hokushinetsu captures the fascination of Venti's style and makes fans become enthralled by her. In the video game Genshin Impact, Venti is one of The Seven. Although he is not gender-specific, he has adopted the body of a male and is often regarded as a God. He wields his bow and can use the elemental power of Anemo. Venti first appears in Act one of the game, The Outlander, and the Archon Quest Prologue. The Nameless Bard changes when the Archon changes her bent. She develops a tolerance for alcohol, but suffers from an allergy to certain items. Her Elemental Skill, also known as "Stanley" is able to summon powerful creatures such as goblins and dragons. Those with the skill can also summon a fireball, or a burning ball. Venti is among the most poor gods in Genshin Impact. She has a habit of drinking wine. She is not able to sustain a sustained drinking addiction. Jean is adored by Diluc. He even hosts an event at the Knights of Favonius home for her. They also provide free drinks. There are numerous cosplays based on Venti. He is a vessel for Barbados Venti is the most effective way to become Barbados"saint" in the brand new Genshin Impact video game. Originally an elemental spirit, Barbatos became a god by defeating the Decarabian. He is known as the archon who was weakest and also the one who made Mondstadt an entire nation. He is the deuteragonist of the Prologue chapter as well as the main protagonist of the first and second acts. He also has his own Story Quest. He reverts back to his real identity as Barbados When he comes back to his true identity as a bard Venti is a wise and playful character. He is a part of The Seven and has had many adventures. When the time arrives, he'll be able to show himself as a Bard. Venti is the vessel of the nameless Bard and is an ethereal entity. Venti is a young, attractive character with fair skin and green eyes.

He is an archon god of liberty and wandering bard in the real life. His lyre is a sacred instrument. He uses it to sing and play the lyre. He ignores those who do not deserve to be heard. When he returns to his authentic self as a Barbados, he will have his own sacred relic The Holy Lyre of Heaven.

Here’s the angst. I will not apologise

HOLY FUC K!

i saw the isekai'd with a merch post and i'm *head in hands*

what if you get isekai'd in your genshin cosplay clothes??? if venti saw me wearing cosplay clothes of him, i'd pass (out or away,,, i haven't decided yet)

venti would just be overjoyed! do you truly think so highly to match him, or perhaps you made the image of the nameless bard in your likeness while knowing venti would take a similar form?

either way, he'd be happy to fulfill more of your cosplay wants by gifting you a few pieces from his wardrobe, braiding your hair like his, and maybe giving you an anemo vision to complete it.

there's no need to be so shy, windblume! he's never been happier!

I ordered a ball-jointed doll recently & there's a good chance she's coming in the mail today and I gotta physically hold myself back from making mini cosplays for her

So, you say you want more Venti cosplayers? 😏 Luckily for you, I'm a Venti simp and use Tiktok way too much, so here's a list of some of my favorite Venti cosplayers (some of these also include cosplays of the other anemo bois and Zhongli):

Nameless Bard cosplay idea where I lie down on the floor with arrows every time I come across a Venti cosplayer

Ikr where is the Himmel merch??? And like also WHERE ARE THE COSPLAYS (i cant sew for shit and just wanna buy one) like ive looked everywhere, and some stores even have leaked characters and no Himmel and im like >:c

Everytime i buy venti merch I always buy 2 of them: one is venti while the other is obviously himmel. I think the plushie is the only one i didnt buy another because it’s too fucking expensive 🥲

And yeah where nameless bard cosplays at?!!! I need to see more cosplays of him 😩 just feed me more nameless bard related things and i’d be already satisfied

Hi folks!  In today’s Summer Showcase we bring you a lovely writer...

Jaz-the-bard

I'm on ao3 at JazTheBard, and on SWG with the same name, but my works aren't up there yet. 

Tumblr: @jaz-the-bard

I'm writing for TRSB20, which is my first fandom event! I'm very excited.

I only recently started writing fanfic, and finished the silm for the first time in March. I've never read The Hobbit or LotR in their entirety. Currently I'm working on a cosplay of Glorfindel.

Storytelling Wanderer

G, standard silm warnings apply because the plot of silm is discussed and Maglor is not in the best mental state.

Our favorite four hobbits are in Bree, but instead of a mysterious Ranger called Strider, they meet a nameless elf who leads them to Rivendell while telling stories of the Elder Days. It's partly a reunion story with a good dash of angst, and also a warm-up of sorts for when I properly rewrite the Silmarillion in fairytale style.

Cosplays are so fun to walk around in, I feel like if I had a nameless bard cosplay I would just wear the cape and scarf all the time 🐝

very true very true!!! also shaking your hand SAME

also seeing cosplayers in random places is so funny XD one day i wanna be a venti in a starbucks

COUNTER/Weight liveblog, part 2

Episodes 23-40

Keith hasn't listened to the previous episode and Austin & Ali are cackling like “You got a big storm coming” lmao

…Look I understand the idea of making Tea an ally after the players and audience got to know her in the Kingdom game but the excuse is really thin

“A gift for his little brother” You guys are really bad at this gender neutrality thing huh

AuDy talking to Orth makes my head spin a bit now

Oh so Addax is the leader of the Angels? The person who has been watching the Chime from the shadows = the group that has been spying on them? Okay, I now feel dumb for not putting this together myself.

Wait I lost track again. Who were Jacq & Jill working for initially that gave them access to those immortality tanks? Iirc it was Odamas who had that technology and then gave Horizon access to it while imposing strict rules on them during the merge? So why does Jacqui get less fun assignments now if she was a part of the winning faction, not the losing one?

Oh cool, so Jamil wanted to hand over the virus to the Angels because they're both just from the Rapid Evening?

“A bard notices their enemy's heart isn't in the fight, so they stop fighting, fall in love” is such a specific thing. How the hell did it happen twice on the same show. Is this the new big gay trope now

Heeeey could you stop punching me in the stomach with intros

So, Jacqui was working for Horizon, which in turn was given this job by Petrichor? Still doesn't answer my question…

Do I have to mentally rewrite the entire holiday special so that in every scene on the Kingdom Come everyone is floating in zero gravity all the time?! I'm sorry but this makes no fucking sense!

The doppelganger thing started really creepy but now it just makes my head spin! Please stop it with the names, I'm too easily confused, especially with a show that has a record of passing characters back and forth between the GM and the players!

Re: that whole thing: aaaaAAAAA???

I don't understand what Austin and Jack are doing but it's pretty magical

God, the Aria/Jacqui scene is so… tender? Idk. Austin's gentle “PC's love interest” voice has murdered me again. I'm not sold on Jacqui by herself as a character but on the feelings between the two? Definitely. (Though I still wonder about Aria’s heroism vs Jacqui’s disregard for life. That’s a biiig value clash)

Okay, this was all very unsettling and I still understand so little

I really love that Sokrates' refusal to make that one nameless person take the fall, which seemed (at least to me) kinda stubborn and shortsighted, turned into a key moment, both because it demonstrates integrity, and now because that person becomes an actual NPC as an important asset in their faction

I love how the idea of moving Rigour to September comes up and everyone starts screaming and I do too! They sure love leaving horrifying surprises for the ground team to stumble upon lol

Is it too callous and unwise of me to react to Ibex overthrowing the Hands of Grace as “good riddance”?

Maryland's letter has strong Alyosha/Arrell vibes

I love the “reluctant alliance with an antagonist” trope and was hoping it'd happen with Ibex so I'm happy! Also in one of the early episodes Austin mentioned the Anders-Justice storyline and I'm glad to hear him finally deliver. (There was stuff about the pilot/Candidate->Divine influence with Order, but not about the other way around or fusion, like with Vengeance)

Okay thankfully things are clearer now (I'm reeeally glad I wasn't spoiled on this) but I still have so many questions. How were LD made in the first place? Why and how did they hide in/turn themselves into a simple robot? What are they – just software, like Righteousness, or is there some Divine hardware core inside the normal Automated Dynamics unit that nobody has noticed somehow, or is the hardware in a remote location they access through the mesh? Did Ibex know AuDy was LD the whole time – he didn't act very surprised? Why didn't Ibex rescue his brother, did he die really quickly? How will Mako be able to fog without Righteousness? Shouldn't AuDy be gamebreakingly powerful now? How and why do LD count as two Divines but have a single consciousness, are they like Garnet?

Lazer Ted feels like a fucking TAZ character lmao

The comic relief was welcome but at the same time I'm continuously like “What is AuDy thinking and feeling. Why are they acting like nothing happened. Where's the existential crisis. How do you realize you're a pair of ancient gods and just proceed with your life? Are they so impenetrable on purpose because they're a robot”. Like, it was chilling when they were suddenly chatting with Ibex like old friends, and now it's chilling that they're acting just in the early episodes.

I'm glad the robot incident made everyone realize it might be unwise to put the two charming extraverts in the same half of the party lol

Looks like they decided to permanently switch back to “he” for Cass… Probably for the best.

Jack keeps excitedly jumping at every opportunity for creepiness™. God, AuDy makes so much more sense as his character now after the Reveal

Is September just fucking Solaris now?

I think this is the first time I'm not excited to hear a faction game episode because I really didn't expect it at this point in the story. My reaction was “Wait what? Are you telling me everyone gets stuck on September waiting out that storm for a whole month?! I wanted to hear what that cliffhanger led to!” Idk, the September arc was generally kind of a let down after the intensity of the episodes leading up to it, and this further deflates the tension.

Speaking of tension and letdowns, I just have to complain… It's really disappointing when the show sets up really big dramatic hooks and then does practically nothing with them! I complained about Addax and Cass in the previous post and that point still stands. Case two: Mako and Righteousness/Voice. It's set up in a faction episode, and in the immediately following arc Mako indeed is in danger from something inside his own head, but it's a completely unrelated thing! At the end of the arc he finally finds out, but the threat immediately gets nullified with no consequences – no self-doubt or identity crisis, no diminished abilities in terms of game mechanics. Case three: Ibex himself. Out of the reasons the Kingdom game is what it is, the excuse for it happening in-universe was to give more details on Ibex, and at least half of it featured a collective effort to make him as central to the story and as threatening as possible. But as soon as that flashback ends, so, counterintuitively, does the role of Ibex as an active antagonist to the Chime -- the role which was literally just supposed to begin in earnest. So by this point I can barely recall why we were all so intimidated by this guy in the first place. I'm more like “This is a useful ally to have”. This is what I don't like about the world-ending threats like Rigor: all other interesting conflicts fade in their face.

Dang, I thought Isurus was a cooler name than Enhydra!

Sokrates, forced to shake Ibex's hand: *clenched fist meme*

Wait, I missed something, why is Rigor deep underground and has to dig itself out?

Okay, after the lore episode I'm also confused how Rigor ended up underground on Ionias after it was blown up 20000 years ago in a completely different place

I'm very distressed by the idea of Hieron as a future popular franchise!! No, it's supposed to be real when these people are talking about it!! Oh wait a fucking second, does this mean Jace's Panther was a deliberate reference in-universe?? Like you're fighting in a real serious terrible war and you model a giant war machine after, like, a thestral from the fucking Harry Potter and just call it “Thestral”??!

No, no, wait, do tell me who Cass and AuDy would cosplay!

Oh no, Rigour wants to talk to Voice(?), great

Hey Cass, your Hadrian is showing??

Speaking of Hadrian, I was caught off guard by description of Tower as a “hot young Hadrian”, for some reason Hadrian never struck me as a character who's supposed to be exceptionally attractive. But then again, I imagined him as very young until that letter to Hella, and then I imagined Cass as a young adult until I did the math, so I might just be bad at visualising Art's characters lol.

Austin is so generous and unsubtle about throwing hot gay NPCs right at the players. Too bad Mako doesn't sound as interested as Aria did.

I expected they'd find a room with one copy of everyone plugged into the mesh, that'd be even creepier. What's with the false memories though? This doesn't explain them.

So, how does this whole clone system work? How does time work? Why don't the real students like Tower or Maxine notice that there's a new guy who looks just like their friend, but doesn't know them – or, for that matter, why don't the other clones notice? Oh, maybe that's the purpose of the fake memory aura? So that Maritime-4 could continue right from where Maritime-3 left off?

When Cass saw Apokine's face I thought it meant that the humans had genetically engineered the Apostolosians and that's what “we made them look like us” meant, which would be two of my long-standing questions answering each other. And then it was just another giant mech.. :/

Wait, does Orth calling Cass “Apokine” mean that he pilots the mech now or that Sokrates died and Cass inherited his position?! I'm worried now…

I'm even more worried about Mako, because at first I of course reacted to the question about being in two places at once as “hah, Larry”, but it's probably the other thing, and on one hand that must mean that the rescue of clones was successful, but also that means that our Mako might be dead and the one in the intro is one of the clones… Considering that in the Winter post-mortem I caught Keith saying how emotional the C/w finale was for him before I started fast-forwarding in fear of spoilers, do I need to start mentally preparing to bury Mako already or what?

Speaking of spoilers… The farther I go, the less I understand the advice to skip Autumn. I thought that at least for C/w it wouldn't matter, given it's a whole different universe, but they keep referencing it, and then casually dropping major spoilers, and then referencing it again in a story-relevant way. (The Ordennan ships arrive on the screen as Rigor does, and the next episode is named “The Storm over September” and quotes Lem's poem in the description. That's really cool but I somehow feel vaguely irritated on behalf of my potential alternate self who skipped season 1.) I really hope they've grown more careful about this by now, because I'll probably not even begin Twilight Mirage by the time the next season starts, and I would really like to stay in the dark about the intense events they're all vague-tweeting about at the moment!

Why was AuDy alarmed by Voice's presence as “a” Divine accompanying Maxine? Shouldn't they be familiar with it already because of Mako? (And I don't want to even ask about the ontological difference/border between Righteousness and Voice. I'm tired and feel like a nitpicker. But just for the record, this still isn't clear.)

Well that's a sadder family reunion than I hoped for!

So AuDy does have a split personality to some degree?

Oh well. AuDy's got a fate worse than death: Liberty and Discovery, imprisoned indefinitely. Or devoured I guess, I didn't really get it. Great. Thanks. Fucking RIP I guess. Out of all ways I expected them to go, this wasn't one.

(By the way I still don't understand how the portal works. Where is this portal to? Why can't L&D fly out and take the slow way home, and why can't Rigor?)

There's still about ten minutes left in the episode and I don't understand how it isn't the finale. What's there to do for three more episodes now.

“With Rigor defeated so easily, so permanently, she thought” *Rigor screech*

Yeah, fuck Grace btw

Sounds like cultivating saplings is not a priority anymore for a certain someone… (Wait, btw, what happened to that patch/seed they left? Will it ever come back into play?)

“...Why they would put themselves into a body like yours? And I think, maybe, it's that they were curious about what it would be like for four years to feel like a long time” AAAAAA

Okay, things are better on September than it sounded initially, but still… Wtf's going to happen? Rigor repairs itself, takes over the survivors, takes off again? But what's the timeline on that? I genuinely have no idea wtf the finale is going to be about after this.

Oh, what happened to the clones btw? Did Larry manage to get them off the planet in time, despite the Minerva ships in orbit and, more importantly, Rigor? Or are they stuck on September, unable to continue reenacting the plot of Orphan Black?

From how it's been described in this episode, feels as if Liberty and Discovery are a candidate of AuDy… They didn't want a candidate but were curious to learn how it feels for the other side?

Paisley's dead-eyed, Tower's gone, and even Ibex, who is barely holding on himself, loses his ex… Everyone's love life takes a nosedive: the episode. At least Jacqui's okay… (And because of Jacqui, it was doubly sad and surprising to hear Aria still has feelings for Paisley…)
