Obscur Maelle Cosplay Progress: Collar and Wing

Dec 5, 2025 4:24 PM

The collar and wing are made from 5mm EVA foam, while the collar has 1mm and 2mm accents, all sealed with Plastidip (my new love). It took me about 20 hours (!!) to make this - but that’s because a lot of time was spent drafting a pattern and making test cuts with angles and folds. Bevel cutter was the MVP. Painting did genuinely take about 10 hours though, I tried my best to match the marbling seen in the game. The collar closes with magnets at the back.

Angelus paint pens came to my rescue for this project, and Jacquard’s Lumiere Old Brass is the primary accent color you see here . I also utilized white/gray/black Folkart paints. There are more WIP pictures in the story highlights of my Instagram, where I also will be posting a making-of reel soon.

Part of my brain knows it's foam, but it's so well done I thought it was marble. Amazing job!

Ugh thank you so much!! It was my first time trying to paint fake marble and it was very challenging!

Lovely detail work. Did you use the "Flick method" for the dots?

I wanted more control than the flick so I used a dotting tool and a sewing pin and manually dotted!

I know nothing about cosplay. But I love that other people, who also love Expedition 33, are great cosplayers. Cool stuff! Next GamesCons will be amazing. For those who come after.

There should always be a picture of the source model. Not all of us are Weebs. I mean, /I/ am, but not all of us.

Looks really well done, based on the reference.
I've yet to play the game, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I get a chance to purchase it.
