Vaarsuvius cosplay attempt

[SkepticalSquid]

I've started work on a Vaarsuvius cosplay. There's still a lot left for me to work on, like hemming the robe, making the cloak, and finishing embroidery on the robe, but I'm proud of what I've done so far, so I wanted to post it.

Hope it's ok that I censored my face out. I don't really want it floating around the internet unaltered.

Thanks! I'm hoping I can post more pictures as I add more to it.

Looks like a pretty solid start. :smallsmile:
Will Blackwing be part of your costume?

I was just about to ask that. You could get a stuffed bird and use velcro to attach it to your shoulder.

That looks fantastic! I'm excited to see it with the hems and embroidery completed. About the only change I think I'd make would be to use a slightly larger-diameter rope for the belt, but I'm not sure how practical that would be; it may not function as well or be as comfortable.

I think what's even more impressive is that person in the background cosplaying as a dry erase board really looks like a dry erase board! I was almost fooled!

I do have a Halloween prop raven that I was going to try to attach to my shoulder. It looks surprisingly life-like.

Ravens don't belong on one's shoulder! They belong on a bust of Pallas!:smallwink:

Pretty damn sweet! Especially big kudos on the week. It looks both styled right and the correct colour and material. I cosplayed V once and for some godforsaken reason the purple wig stubbornly appeared blue on camera in most light conditions.

I second what was said about having thicker rope for the "belt". I'm thinking the kind of rope that gets used in thick decorative curtains... with tassels.

You should hand out little pieces of paper that read "I prepared explosive ruins this morning."

It looks great! .. Good job!
