I got a chance to work with some really interesting and new fabrics, and although I've developed a hatred for chiffon after this one (all the purple designs are hand-painted on this very slippery material), I love their textures and movement.
GW2 THE SHINING BLADE GUIDE HOW TO
I spent a long time trying to figure out how to accomplish a huge hoop skirt that's open in the front, and eventually settled on clear plastic rods across the gap. This cosplay took me about six months to complete, although university definitely slowed it down! I made the armor out of craft foam and expanding foam, and resin-casted all of the gems (my first time doing so). As the game isn't out yet, I wasn't sure of the role she would play, but the Shining Blade was one of my favorite factions in GW1.
I was browsing concept art for the new game and was blown away by the Shining Blade design - it was so elegant, had a ton of detail, and presented some very interesting engineering challenges (an open-front hoop skirt, armor, an elaborate headdress). I've been an active player of the original Guild Wars game for 5+ years now, and have been looking forward to its sequel since it was announced. It's also wearable armor for caster classes in-game. The costume is based off of concept art for the Shining Blade from Guild Wars 2, members of the queen's personal guard.
I could go on, but this costume speaks volumes for itself. Her incredible attention to detail and resourcefulness also resulted in an impressively true-to-source interpretation of the early Guild Wars concept art. Enayla’s elegant Shining Blade cosplay is – without question – one of the most intricate and awe-inspiring costumes I’ve ever come across.
