If Raiden Shogun wielded a steel katana, this would be it!
I recently got a custom made katana from swordsofnorthshire.com and it was so cool to be able to choose every material and component! Of course it has purple bindings and even my name is engraved on the blade!
I have always wanted to own a real katana and to be able to custom design one after my personal aesthetic is really special.
I couldn’t wait to get photos with my katana so I stuck a few in while cosplaying Ei. I think this sword suits her very well, too!
Big shout-out to #SwordsofNorthshire for creating this gorgeous piece of art for me. They have a huge selection of Japanese AND Chinese swords as well as replica (but real, ya know) weapons from movies, anime and video games. I’m already eyeing some of their Chinese swords for another Wuxia cosplay
I gotta fix Gorou up (hot glue failed me in the armor Velcro department and I’ll never forgive or forget) but I hope to get to shoot with some this spring!
Finally got to shoot Gorou and so thankful to @valdrein for taking photos it was such a chill day (in both senses of the word cause— bare midriff in CaNaDiAn JaNuArY )
Canine Warrior after working on this costume all winter break I was finally able to shoot and wear Gorou!
I don’t usually do highly detailed costumes so this brought me a little out of my element but I’m happy with the result so far (a few additions/upgrades/the bow needed in future lol)
I’m really just finishing a few small trinkets and waiting on extensions to add to the wig a bit
This was a real challenge: hand cut vinyl press in’s of really tiny and delicate designs, odd structure to the vest, layers of details I kept missing cause Genshin ♂️ Really liking the result tho!
Wishing you all luck in pulling #thoma me? I’ll be grinding for primogems cause I haven’t played in a month and don’t have enough for a single wish #genshinimpact
Costume was provided by @cosplaysky Review to come. Wig and headband are by me.
So I slipped and accidentally fell into #genshinimpact oops I couldn’t resist doing a little contest for Bennett (while waiting for my Childe wig to arrive ). Perfect game for me right now tbh, I’m loving it
