Hey! Haven't posted here in months, but I'm about to start my next ~big~ project so thought I may as well log it here!
I'm just starting my build of the character Maria from the new Assassin's creed movie that is coming out this December.
Here are some photos of the character! As you can see it is relatively embroidery heavy, which I love, which is 100% the reason I am making this (michele carragher on point as per usual)
And a couple of days ago I was lucky enough that Ubisoft released this amazing 'cosplay guide' image with super high res references!
I've decided to make my version of the costume with the colours of the first image, i.e. what the materials look like in real life, as I think it's such a shame they always put filters on and water it down :/
I started by sketching out how I think the arm embroidery looks, so I could plan what beads etc I would be using! The day after I did my sketch however they released the cosplay references so I had to completely redo it as you can see below!
- my original sketch using the limited references from the trailer

Aaaaand I have now spent my entire pay check ordering beads off the internet so I can get started. Oops.
Apart from that I haven't done any actual making yet! Am just gathering materials for a bit, as I can't properly start the costume until I've finished with the one I am making at the moment
I did however buy my fabric for the hood and the 3rd layer of skirt panels (because, to me at least, looks to be a very similar fabric).
It's this gooorgeous navy blue basketweave chenille. And it's so soft. And has such a lovely weight to it!
So that's all for now, just really wanted to start off this thread so that when I do start making it soon I will actually make myself post to here haha!
