Part 1 Create Shirt, Top, Cloak, Belt, Leather Guards The Capelet On Hawke’s shoulders, there’s a piece of wolf fur, with a leather layer underneath. This part was very simple to make: I drew the pattern, cut out the pieces, and didn’t even bother finishing the edges. I sewed the pieces together at the tips, […]

Not so long ago, I had a lot of free time, and I used the opportunity to replay some of my favorite old games, like the Dragon Age series. A moment of inspiration to create a costume and my love for a character aligned perfectly with Marian Hawke. She’s the most charismatic and charming character […]

Part 1 Create blouse, jacket and skirts Bags Made from faux leather upholstery fabric. I tried to make an exact replica of the belt, to make it as close to the original as possible. The rings were made from worbla analog. Brooch Jaina’s got two of them: the bigger one on the coat and the […]

Strange as it may seem, Jaina is the only WoW character I really vibe with – and yet, until very recently, it hadn’t crossed my mind to cosplay her (or rather, I just haven’t gotten round to it yet: to many cool cosplays, too little time! And then there is Tyrande =). It all changed […]

Autumn of the year before last, I starred in a small Warcraft III fan film. It was quite a spontaneous project and a completely new experience for me. Playing a role is very difficult (but I never thought otherwise). It was also the first project where the whole organization lay on someone else – you […]

And again I feel that I am ready to create a pattern for you=) Jaina has such incredible new model in last WoW expansion, I was really excited about to make cosplay on her. I made it and visited my first foreign event – Gamescom, which was held in Cologne, Germany. That was really cool […]

One of the first cosplays I had a go at, which, I believe, is also the best known. The costume was made at the end of 2013. I remember that shortly before that I’d finished working on a cosplay of Chii from the Chobits series and it dawned on me: “I can actually sew!”. And […]

Part 1 Create blouse, pants, boots and corset. Other Costume Pieces Gloves The gloves were entirely made of suede, the only exception was the faux leather edge strip. I used the standard pattern and scaled it to the desired length. I attached the flared cuffs to the glove bodies, sewing them in two layers so that […]

It appears to me that some kind of introduction to the following text is needed here. I made the Ciri costume around two years ago, that’s quite a stretch of time. I’ve come a long way and have grown as a cosplayer since then and I’d have made a lot of costume details differently now. […]

I’ve never had any experience with stage makeup before and it was the first time I decided to give it a go. My skin is quite sensitive, so the first thing I asked of the shop assistant at the store was whether I could apply this makeup over moisturizer and foundation. The answer was bluntly […]

I will say at once that I had to paint the armour twice. It so happened that I botched the first version when it was practically finished (I might tell you about that mishap sometime later). That’s why I had to re-paint it just a few days prior to the fest. I usually take my […]

Any costume detail starts with a pattern. Or rather, with taking measurements and making sketches on paper. I have to be honest, it took me quite some time to figure out the size of the future pauldrons right off the bat. I had to rotate the 3D model multiple times to get a sense of […]
