Sorry for being inactive last months, but I am really busy with all my graduation projects which is eating all my free time at this moment *.* But just 2 months to go and I am done!

How ever I was able to finish all this and did a studio shoot with it ^^

I started in November 2012, working very slowly on it because... study. During my Christmas Holidays I managed to do all the sewing parts within 5 days. Boosting up my "seamless trim" skills, omg all those corners ;__;

The jacket and overskirt are made from pleather. I have had a hard time deciding the color for the trim. I wasn't certain about it being super metallic shiny silver, semi-shiny silver, just plain grey, or even white (stupid reverences).
So I did some experiments by testing all the options. White was a NO and super metallic shiny silver or grey didn't give the effect I wanted. So I picked up the semi-shiny silver pleather because in my opinion it gived the best visual effect on the costume.

The shirt is from tricot, rushed together with my serger, because I can.

The pants are made from a wool/ polyester blend.

For the boots I used black mens boots modified with pleather.

All the armor parts are made from polystyrene, thermoformed and painted with acrylics.

As for the sword, I made a tutorial which can be found here: fav.me/d5tguyw

The wig... omg the wig... try to make "natural looking spikes" (stupid novel) with synthethic hair... I used 2 wigs for it. Ripped one apart, to make a lace front and sew all the wefts on the other wig. Because I needed all the volume to make the wig "explode" xD I steam styled all the spikes with a little touch of Got2B hairspray.

The ear prosthetics are modeled and hand made by me from latex.

I made the wings also, but sadly the studio was too small to be able to wear them, so they will be a big surprise for later xD
