Magic Knights Rayearth- Umi Ryuzaki

Description

This year for Otakon I did a Magic Knight Rayearth trio with ~Kikuka-chan and another friend of ours. We chose the cover art of the first series- this is me as Umi Ryuzaki.

Some construction notes:

I did not make the armor- that was ~Kikuka-chan and our other friend. I cast the resin gems but the rest was them. Here the only armor piece you can see is my shoulder piece, which is expanding foam that has been carved, paper mached, then hot glue was used for the raised details.

All the sewing and jewelry was me, and the buckles and such are polymer clay. The earring is a fabric tube with pieces of a wooden dowel inside, plus some beads and glue. The crescent moon and my wrist band are craft foam. That gravity-defying shirt is actually a corset- I used glue to give the overlay the rippled effect from the picture, and a second corset is attached to the top of it. I made the patterns using flat-patterning.
