210 hours of work put in over the course of about 3 weeks (virtually all of my free time - that hyperfocus demon was possessing me) .... Just for the contest i was planning to enter to be cancelled!! thats alright though, ill improve and rebuild some things with better materials and plan for another contest ❤️
everything on the cosplay was made from scratch except for the boots, pants, and bell pendant; boots and pants were heavily modified, the bell was just added to a chain. my sword prop (Blade of Mercy) is functional semi-realistic to how it is in game. i used a slide lock hardware piece and a cut channel as well as magnets to allow the swords to fasten together securely, swing around while remaining linked at the tips, and be easily separated into two swords. the only pattern i used that was purchased was for the jacket (Simplicity 8235, pattern A), all other patterns used were scratch made to fit my proportions and needs. i also had bold hunters mark cards to hand out as freebies, and im planning on trying to make crow hunter badges to hand out for later cons!
some other details not pictured or clearly visible: two potion bottles that i can easily remove from my belt, a victorian era surgical tool kit with tools i sculpted out of foam clay, food skewers, and jewelry wire, and a sword holster that i made so i can handle it with my gloves on. the jacket is weathered all the way around in case i need to run around with my cape removed (the character is never seen without the cape, but this cosplay gets pretty toasty).
happy to answer any questions and give just about any details or breakdowns!! i like to talk way too much, im surprised i kept this post is as short as it is.
