The gauntlets for my Guild Wars 2 cosplay are done, other than sanding and painting! I still intend to finish this costume lol, it's just taking me extra time because life. All pieces are made of worbla over foam or cardboard, or by itself. The gloves are made from the same fabric (hand-dyed by me) as the rest of the costume. Everything is fully articulated to move with my hand and arm.
The only armor piece I have left is the upper arm. Then it's just wiring, sanding, painting, and styling the wig! Woo!
I'm pretty excited for this cosplay. Not only is it the most complex and difficult costume I've built, but it has also been with me through some tough times. At some point, I'll have to put all the pieces on and share some pictures :-)
I took the pattern from Fili’s arm bracer and made a background!! The worlds are “I belong with my brother” in Khuzdul! I took colors from his hair and costumes🤎
I made a cool thing. These are a set of House Cannith bracers for my D&D character Quin. This is the first time I've ever worked Leather before so I'm really really happy with it.
Tried out this thing with the costume making with bracers at first.
Decor foam stuff. It didn't turn out to be as figurable (not even after heating) as it was advertised, but in the end it turned out just fine.
