I may have gotten a little bit artsy with this project.

While thinking about what kind of general feeling I wanted to convey, I came up with this idea of making a sort of three-dimensional art piece, that you would look INTO.

I wanted the feeling to be like: 'These two people live in two different worlds - each in their own box'. As an outside viewer, you'd literally get a glimpse into their little worlds.

Going from that idea, I wanted to make them both contrast very strongly.

Leorio's piece, I wanted to make very moody: - dark, warm colors - strong shadows - pop-art style - alcohol markers as an art medium

Kurapika's piece, in contrast, I wanted to be very calm: - light, cool colors - soft art-style - translucent watercolor paints as a medium

The sweet @ayellowapple really encouraged me with my idea. Thank you so much, my friend! I appreciate it a lot ♥️

But also, I am SO relieved it all worked out.

A huge thank you to all participants for making this whole event so exciting and fun. As well as, of course, to the amazing mods @hxhbigbang24 who really keep putting their souls into the making of this!!

🌸The Satori mask🌸:

I made this mask using worbla on a foam base. The LEDs I used inside the eyes were taken from LED tea candles. They give the light a cool flickering effect.

🌸The right arm🌸:

For Rauru's right arm I wore the runes on top of a scaly glove.

-> First I sewed the glove from a very textured jersey fabric.

-> Then I added some artificial nails on top, which I modified to look like claws.

-> In order to construct the pattern for the runes, I actually had to create a makeshift cast of my arm first. For this, I wrapped my whole arm in newspaper and crepe tape. After cutting the cast open and removing it from my arm, I filled it with more newspaper to make it sturdy enough to work with.

-> This paper cast of my arm was perfect for constructing the pattern, since it could be rotated in any direction (as opposed to my real arm🙃)

-> Using the finished pattern, I made the runes from foam rubber and worbla and shaped them with heat. I painted them using terra-cotta spray paint.

🌸The clothing🌸:

I used satin fabric for a nice and flowing look on the clothes.

In order to recreate the shimmering pattern on the robe, I used heat transfer vinyl.

🌸The armor🌸:

All armor pieces are made from foam and worbla. I've been using this technique for many years, it really works great! The armor pieces were then painted with lacquer and gold acrylic paint.

Making this cosplay was a lot of fun!

Tears of the Kingdom offers so many beautiful designs and outfits.
