We were recently commissioned to build a complete Crystal Maiden cosplay from DOTA 2. We couldn't be happier with how it came out, it was an intense build!
The finished product, and it's happy owner!
The entire build included;
-staff with LED lighting
-faux fur leg warmers with straps
-purple leggings with cut outs
-gauntlets with straps
-belted skirt with appliqué
-hooded cloak with appliqué
-corset with roushing and appliqué
-shoulder pauldrons
-bra with appliqué and trimmed in purple
The whole thing took us six moths to build from start to finish.
All of the appliqué was done by hand in a heat set arcylic fabric paint.
This is the staff in all its glory, and various stages of lighting:
And the complete cosplay;
The gemstones are embroidery wrapped with worbla, the same for the belt buckle. The pauldrons are heat formed EVA foam painted by hand to match the fabric and appliqué.
This one has levels up our skillset so te speak, and now we are working on even more intense cosplay builds- stay tuned for those in the future!
