Thank you! ☺️

It’s always gratifying when the Thing looks like how I imagined it! Next up is sewing the skirt panels and finishing closures (front and sleeves). Then I get to start the gold ribbon details!

Vax progress ahhhhhh! After 27 hours of quilting, all the trapunto is done and the skirt wings are on (pinned for now)

Skirt panels are just pinned on but Vax is looking like a real thing! Ahhhh! #vaxildan #criticalrole #cosplay

I just can’t stop taking pictures of it even when it’s not done 😍

I will never tire of being my girl Galadriel! I cannot wait for season 3 of Rings of Power (and the new costumes contained therein!)

Thank youu!

The Vax skirt layers are coming together! I’ve got one side quilted; next up is filling in the negative space!

Vax skirt wings happening! #vaxildan #criticalrolefanart #tlovm

Thank you! It’s a foiled linen and it’s SO pretty!

First try-on post quilting! Eeeee!

A TALE FOR THE AGES

Honestly one of my favourite photos from Katsucon, I had a lot of fun with the edit and I love how it shows so many pieces of the outfit.

Bonus:

Got my Annatar wig mostly done apart from a lotta hairspray! I plucked the hairline, thinned it, trimmed it, and added lowlights with alcohol markers. Last pic is how it started!

I feel like these photos would have done Numbers circa 2016, but here I am in 2026 still on the Loki train ;)

Featuring Ramses the absolutely gorgeous red tail boa!

Another day, another quilting update! I’ve gotten most of the way through one side of the front which is exciting!

Full Astarion drow armour! With Gloves of Missile Snaring 🙌 The BG3 armour sets are wild to interpret into something that can actually be worn and I’m so proud that I was able to do this set out of leather!

Tasty quilting

One Vax shoulder quilted! Maintaining the curve of the shoulder was incredibly difficult (spot the shoulder dart!) but with going slow and a little steam work afterwords it’s doable! This shoulder took about two hours, so now I know what to expect for the next 🤣 #criticalrole #cosplay #vaxildan

Lots of batting! Two layers of the fluffy 1” thick batting 🙌

I’ve officially begun the quilting for Vax! This is the back panel with a stylised raven skull and I’m sooo stoked with how it’s looking already!

#vaxildan #criticalrole #cosplay

The side seams/underarms are pinned here in particular because I need the pieces to be flat(ish) for the quilting; once that’s done and the lining is in I’ll close those up for real, theatre-style for future adjustability.

Vax progress! We have a LONG ways to go yet—a lot of this is just pinned—but it’s always so cool when you start to see the vision! I gotta do a try-on of the main torso, then after any adjustments there I can start on the quilting!

Truly in my Galadriel era and loving every moment of it! I will always love Rings of Power for giving me such delicious costumes to research and replicate!

Astarion behind the scenes at @aleestudios.bsky.social ’s setup at Katsucon! It’s always fun feeling like a video game model 😁 I’m still so pleased with the high gloss finish I did on all my leatherwork; it catches the light so well!

Got an update from #welovecolors . Though they've blocked the image from being shared or commented on.

They admit to using AI for images (been noted they now have AI slop models on their website) and have no indication of stopping any time soon.

Take your business elsewhere.

Lil test with the gold braid for Vax 👀

Ehehehe THANK!

Ahh thanks so much! I had fun with the colour grading to get the fantasy show effect ^^
