Hey there! Been a while, huh?
So hey, here, look at this Lady Maria’s Rakuyo i made! (งツ)ว
After FINALLY actually playing the entire Bloodborne for myself, i couldnt let it go without something to remember, so i decided to make my main weapon throught the game~
In this build, like my helmets, i tried to make with the cheapest possible materials while maintaining the best quality i could;
At least for its outer layer, its basically cardboard and/or EVA foam. To keep it firm, i used barbecue and icecream sticks as base. Theres some other stuff here and there, lots of hot glue and tape, a bit of biscuit (a modeling clay we have here that hardens with time) and guess that’s pretty much it.
Between each paint coat i was bored and oops, my hands slipped and a hat appeared ¯\_(´~`)_/¯ All it needs now is finding some good feathers to put on it.
And lastly, with the remaining cardobard and EVA i had around, i made those supports to put my props on my wall =D What a happy family, huh?
The entire build was really, REALLY challenging to do... Solaire’s and Lautrec’s helmet didnt come even close to how complicated and time consuming Rakuyo was. Like... It may be hard to believe, but while i could probably pull out a solaire helmet in something around 8 hours, the sabre’s tip alone for instance took me more or less 7 hours to make between planning, prototyping and actually assembling... So, yeah. It was quite the challenge!
Anyways, anyways... Hope you guys like it!
A special thanks to @sulasaferoom that not only let me play BB on her house, but supported me during the whole build providing ideas, company and materials x_x not to mention her house itself :P
Anyways, anyways²...
