Azimedes Cosplay

Freya progress!!! I’m working on finishing her Fatebreaker set for the winter season so I can maybe get photos in the snow?

The gambeson has been a stupid amount of math and experimenting to get the panels to overlay—it took five mockups before I was happy with the silhouette. The vest is made of a red leather hide I got in Morocco some years ago that I’ve been sitting on for the right project. Every panel is hand stitched with calf lace with the exception of the back center seams—that felt too risky somehow. 😅 The last image is a comparison of the in game stitching, which I think I managed to mimic.

Still lots to do but I’ve been really enjoying working on this one.

I never shared the end result of this enormous build, so here you have it: Valkyrie Gondul from God of War!

This costume was probably three month’s worth of solid work, the helmet being one of the pieces I worked on the longest. Every feather is hand-carved EVA foam with wood burned designs. The helmet is also EVA with foam clay sculptured details and carvings. The wing span is roughly 10ft and each wing is powered by its own motor allowing them to flex and collapse. The base of the wings were built based on a blueprint by Warhawk Studios (@war_hawk_studios_llc on IG), but the feathers, rigging, and adjusted motors and wiring were done by yours truly. They weigh about 30lbs.

I loved getting to wear this build! I’m really excited to continue to improve her, build her hammer, and do a real shoot. 🤘
