Other Cosplay Work
I've been making cosplay costumes since 2015. Here are some of my favorite pieces I've made in the process.
Mollymauk Tealeaf- Critical Role
One of my most involved costumes was Mollymauk Tealeaf from the Dungeons and Dragons webshow Critical Role. This costume involved an extravagant cloak sewn from scratch that took months of hand embroidery, in addition to painted pants, handmade horns and jewelry, and a patchwork underjacket.
Fjord Stone- Critical Role
This costume let me explore armor making with EVA foam. I patterned and constructed the chestpiece and gauntlets myself. The tunic, cape, gloves, and quilted piece also had to be sewn from scratch.
Wanderlust- Just Dance 2023
For this costume, I modified a suit pattern to make the jacket and shorts. Both were lined on the inside and had gold and blue details that had to be sewn or embroidered on. I worked with foam again to make the belt and crown. Although I wanted to keep the cartoonish feeling of the character and costume, I weathered the foam pieces to add more dimension.
The Spine- Steam Powered Giraffe
For this costume, I drafted and constructed this segmented light-up vest. On the back, I designed a removeable and reversible back panel where one side was plain and the other side had glowing EL wire and screws to insert the foam spine pieces. This made it easier to transport and reusable for other costumes. That whole piece could plug into a battery pack clipped onto my belt to control the lights.
