Rayla: You don’t think I can fight because I’m a girl.
Runaan: I don’t think you can fight because you’re wearing an extremely puffy dress. For what it’s worth, I don’t think Tinker could fight in that dress either.
Tinker: Prehaps not, but I would make a radiant bride.
Runaan on Twitter: I’ve been told, I’m too negative and hostile towards humans. So to all the humans out there; if my tweets have offended you, I humbly apologize. I honestly didn’t think you could read.
One year later: I finally managaed to craft Runaan’s weapons. I just didn’t have the time and I hardly managed to do everything completely until Elfia. I just had the swords done without the function of making them into a bow and I went without the quiver / arrows.
It was very important for me to build both weapons the way they are. It took me a lot of time and thinking to make a functional plug at the end of the swords which makes them into a bow. It’s a plug-in-system and it’s supported by magnets. The quiver is attached to the coat the same way. (I love magnets XD)
The pattern for everything was done from the original concept art as well as it was done by myself. (Thanks to marik_deahrel (Instagram) for your help and the digital outlining of those).
All of this felt like putting a 1000 puzzle pieces together. It was so much detail work. Temporarily I just wanted to surrender, but I kept going and crafting and finally I’m really proud of myself that I pulled it all through. ☺
I like the outcome a lot. These are my first swords / cosplay weapons I have ever done and I tried really hard to stick to the specifications of the original .
It is done! I worked on this cosplay since September 2018 and did make up tests. I’m so looking forward to wear it on EpicCon with Marik DeAhrel as Viren next weekend ⭐ I’m looking forward to meet all the other TDP Cosplayers!!! [Runaan by @thedragonprinceofficial ]
