#wip: briclot loki

[silhouette-cosplay]

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!

Loki’s first try-on!!

I have a few things to tweak in terms of fitting and making sure everything is secured, and a couple belt hardware things to still make, but mostly he is ready for a shoot next weekend!! 👀

I’ve been working on this Loki for over two years but look at all the progress! I’m so excited that it’s all coming together now, and even though there’s a lot still to do, it feels amazing to see the finish line a little closer!

Because this build has been so complex and so spread out, I’m not able to do any full video logs, but I keep all my progress pics and try to show them as often as I can!

It is unreal that after two and a half years this costume is finally close to the finish line! 😭 Some minor adjustments to make, but it’s nearly there!

Loki has a very snazzy back and it will never be seen unless I take off the cape 😅 this is how I roll!

I’ve made visible progress on Loki’s skirt panels! Well—one of them, anyway 😜

I had to do a lot of mathing (ugh) to map out where the washers were going and how long each leather strap needed to be as a result, but after a couple days’ work look what’s here!

I was a little worried that the rivets wouldn’t be strong enough to take the weight but they are holding beautifully, and the panel actually has a lot of flexibility which is fab. Three more to go!

It took about two hours to figure out what worked and what didn’t to securely hold 10 lbs of skirt—turns out it was just nylon strapping and velcro! The velcro goes pretty much all the way around the waist, so it’s very sturdy and a nice thick layer to support everything.

The skirt panels are finished!! Gonna try to rig them up tomorrow!

This is the technique I used for Loki’s belt! I’m loving the dimensionality it adds to a leather piece, and while the leather I used is sliiightly thicker than I would recommend for pressing over details, it worked super well and I’m glad it can match the rest of the costume!

I did the super scary thing and dyed Loki! I did a mottled look with AngelusTurquoise and Jade alcohol dyes, then went over with a black antique gel. I still need to go in with a small brush and touch up detail areas, maybe do some more weathering, but I’m really pleased with the effect!

(Also added some of the zipper stops—more to come later!)
