- Photos of my finished FFXIV Dragoon cosplay as my character Esumi Aoi
- Things/Materials I used to make it
- Work in Progress (WIP) with photos and some infos :)
- 4 large sheets of wonderflex
- 12 medium sheets of wonderflex
- Craft foam (10 x A3 size and 20 x A4 size. Depends on the single parts)
- 2-3 kg of light white modeling clay (I needed so much for my lance ... >_>)
- 4 thin wooden sticks (lenght about 40 cm)
- A 2 meter long wooden stick for the relic lance (diameter about 4-5 cm, depends on your grip :3)
- A very large roll of brown/kraft paper (You will need it, trust me! You need to draw everything before you apply it on wonderflex. You would hate yourself if you ruin it and lots of money would go to waste.)
- Heat gun (I love that thing! I had to buy it for this project hehe)
- Scissors
- Stanley Knife
- Different kinds of sandpaper
- Rulers (for the patterns of each part)
- measuring tape (you need to know the meassurements of your body! Otherwise the patterns won't work ^^)
- Hotglue
- duct tape
- crepe tape
- clingfilm
- A super large cutting mat (60x90 cm)
- 2 litre of Gesso
- Acryl colors (different gold and silver tones/shades, black and white)
- 6 aerosol paint of the color "cassis" (brilliant and best color for the Dragoon imho)
- Nail polish in different purple tones/colors and a glittering white and blue one (you need it for the "orbs")
- Casting resin (for the orbs and cool looking shapes)
- 3 different casting resin forms/molds (every mold had about 3-8 different forms)
- Lots of different Brushes (for the color and for gesso)
- 1-2 meters of Velcro tape (to fix the parts together ^^)
- A pair of silk gloves (I lost one … dunno how so I had to buy a second pair … damnit xD)
- Shoes (I bought black stilettos/boots in a western look with only a 1 cm heel and modified most of it)
- Black cloth to make a modified turtleneck jersey xD (the belly needs to be visible and the sleeves need to be short)
- Pants to be ready for modification (I hate to sew pants so I used one I already have =P)
- Lots of time and patience
- My boyfriend who saved me from many attacks of rage "F*CK THIS S*IIIIITTTTT!!!" ヽ(`Д´)ノ ┻━┻
- Old newspapers for the colored parts
