Hey everyone,

I thought people might like to see the most recent photoshoot I've done. It was Crimson Akali from League Of Legends, I made he last year for one of the days of one of the cons I went too.

She was pretty easy to make in comparison to other things so it was relatively quick and didn't give me too many headaches.


Anyway...


This is the splash art that made me want to do Akali. It's hard as the in game reference looks nothing like the artwork so I had to wing a few parts of it which gave me a little artistic leeway but I do admit I do like full references instead of ones I have to patch in.

I traced out a body suit I had for a pattern for the tunic and the altered it to suit Akalis style. Drew out her armor and used foam to craft them into 3d armor pieces and covered with fabric to try and resemble the finish in the art.

Trial fit of the belt to make sure it was to size and sat where it should, the belt is probably my favourite part of the costume as it came out probably the best. The other parts are okay but due to time constraints I didn't have much time to spend on them.

Free handed more patterns, this time the kama's which I carved out of multi board and covered with worbla, I love these because they are just big!

Finished up the detailing and painting on the arm and leg shields..

Even though I wore this last year for one of the local cons only today had I managed to get around to have it shot, Leigh from Steamkittens does a lot of great work and is very enthusiastic and creative so was really happy to have him shoot and edit Akali :)

More of his work can be seen on his page: http://www.facebook.com/steamkittens if anyone is interested.
