#gilgalad

It’s been a while since I have cosplayed Gil-galad and it’s definitely time to do so again. With a deadline in mid-August I’m glad that my motivation is back, since there’s a LOT to do, even though I had already made a number of the worbla cores for the armor parts. Usually I consider that the most time-consuming part, but his season 2 armor has decoration on *everything*, so it’ll take a while to add those.

Not to mention that I have yet to tackle the torso armor which will be one of the most difficult parts.

But I’m looking forward to finishing the new cosplay. Til then, here is a photo from the very first photoshoot of the Gil-galad cosplay that I made back in 2022.

Sís laurië lassi taiter, / yénin linwavandië. / Hrívë túla helda ré úlassëa. / I lassi lantar celumenna.

"Here long the golden leaves grew, on years branching. Winter is coming, bare leafless day. The leaves are falling in the stream."

In an interview (min 12) Benjamin Walker mentioned he would have loved for Gil-galad to wear brass knuckles. Well, Ben, I kinda would have loved that too
