One of the tricky things about recreating early concept art is that there is only ONE single reference! No side view, no close ups, and certainly back view! I even messaged the concept artist about this art, asking if any other iterations had been done, but it was so early in the concept process that it was only ever just that—a concept.

Which meant: I had to design! And even though the back of this costume is mostly hidden under the sheepskin cape, I really love making cohesive designs that I know are there even if most folks don’t see them. I ended up taking the ring-wrap motif from the skirt panels and using that on the back, and I invented some shoulder layers to help support the weight of the cape!

Holy wow thanks for the love y’all!!

My fave tag bundle so far because yeah that is me 😅 the concept artist has actually seen it too and shared to his insta so that’s cool!!

I brought this unused Loki concept to life!!

I’d been eyeing this stunning design by @aleksibriclot for years, and a little while ago (after two years of working on it) I finally finished it! It has all the dark norse fantasy vibes that I wanted Ragnarok to be, and I figured hey, I can make it myself!

I had to up a lot of my leatherworking skills for this one, and I dove into a lot of new skills as well to try to make all the pieces a cohesive whole. It uses lambskin leather, suede cowhide, and veg tan, as well as an entire sheepskin for the cape!

This whole costume has truly been a labour of Loki love and I’m so glad I was able to share all the madness (process) and the finished look!

I started a Merlin rewatch the other day, and wow, the nostalgia is real! I had a great time being Arthur a few years back, though wearing the chainmail for any length of time definitely takes its toll aha photos by @sennedjem

First piece of Gale I can actually call done issss…the gloves! The buckle hardware I got ended up a bit bigger than expected, but I like the design of it so I’m not too fussed. I also went with knit gloves (not made by me lol, I bought those) rather than the in-game leather look, because Gale definitely strikes me as the type to be wearing the nice cosy (spell resistant) gloves his mum knitted for him.

Thinking about ✨her✨ today

Remaking this Éowyn after 10 years of cosplay was so gratifying! The trim is all hand embroidered and I’m so proud of how well I was able to dye the matelassé to match the corset suede 😍

The universe really wants me to cosplay Astarion 😅 Found beautiful wool coating for $5/yd at my local fabric store that I can use for his cape, and went to a craft supply sale and found velvet scrap in the perfect matching tone!

#wip: astarion #gonna try to dye my silk for the shirt tomorrow

I have so many Loki and Frigga feelings! It was a dream to shoot with Relia’s absolutely stunning Frigga earlier this year (just before lockdown–seems so long ago now) Costumes each made by us! Loki wig by Custom Wig Co Photos by @sennedjem / edit by me
