Armored Ciri Cosplay Progress: Pauldrons

Yet another update for my cosplay for “Armored Ciri” (concept art for the Witcher 3 by Klaus Wittman). These pauldrons took me forever (estimated 20 hours)! I am not good with curved shapes so I utilized a template from Plexi Cosplay but still ended up trimming down the shape because I couldn’t get it to look quite right. It was also my first time trying to hide seams on foam with kwik seal, which was definitely a learning curve (and not a very successful one since metallic paint shows everything).

But I am excited to keep learning and growing! Currently in the process of printing Aerondight for the sword for this outfit - I have made Zirael previously and wanted to switch things up, plus I felt the spikes on Aerondight matched the spikes on her gloves :)

The making-of video for the pauldrons was too big to be posted on imgur but if you’re interested it’s on my Instagram!
