💙🪶 Vex’ahlia Cosplay // Vox Machina // Critical Role 🪶💙
This is from a while ago but I forgot I never posted it here :) Been loving Critical Role for a while now and brought my Vex’ahlia cosplay to Anime Expo last year! Hopefully bringing her to more this summer 🏹
As Twitter continues going down the drain, it’s time to revive old accounts 😂 here’s a pretty cool photo from a full Bells Hells shoot I was part of recently! Photo by saikotic.exe on IG!
This was a super fun and surprisingly low stress part of my Vax build! Craft foam base, foam clay on top, woodburning pen for texture, and sooo much painting!
(did not have the energy to do a voiceover for this one so if there are any questions let me know!)
Oh my lord this did not want to upload, this is the 3rd attempt to post these! The last of the photos from the Oxford shoot of Kiri, it had been 5 years since I wore the full thing and I love it, really tempted to bring her back to a few more things this year, I'm so happy with how she looks
Finally taking the leap and posting some of my cosplay photos for the first time! Essek’s character and story arc is one of my all-time favorites in any piece of media, and this cosplay was really a labor of love.
💜 Essek Thelyss created by Matthew Mercer for Critical Role
💜 Cosplay and Beacon prop made by me
💜 Photography by me
(additional notes below the fold)
In addition to making the actual cosplay, the beacon prop, and trying body-paint for the first time, I also fulfilled a long-time dream of trying short hair by getting a real-life Essek haircut (15 inches off).
I’ll probably post photos that show the actual outfit and makeup eventually (once I work up the nerve), but I also just love how these photos turned out! They are both single, long-exposure photographs, and are not edited beyond a slight contrast adjustment and removing a couple tiny artifacts caused by dust on the camera lens.
