Gold Coast Supanova 2020

 

A very costume heavy cosplay. I haven’t cut my hair since 2016 so I felt it appropriate that I do a cosplay with long hair.

Very limited reference photos for this specific costume so I just worked with what I had and could find!

Working with circles and ovals in fabric was difficult and confusing. But managed to get this completed. It involved a lot of beading and pattern making that I’m very new to.

This shoulder piece is made of an aluminium sheet, thin EVA foam for thickness and black vinyl to look like leather.
The ‘orbs’ are made with resin and thin craft foam for the gold details. The ‘sun’ is acrylic sheets painted in clear orange with EVA foam spikes on the supports.
The cape is attached with velcro for easy removal and transport. (All still had to fit inside a suitcase)

I struggled a bit with reference photos for this cosplay so I kind of made up this part. The ‘belt’ is detailed with gold fabric paint and beads. This task was also very new to me. (Ignore the part at the top that I leant on and smudged, in true cosplay nature I finished this hours before the con began)
