Since this is my most in-depth project to date, I took a lot of references from in-game. Hope this helps if you’re also working on it 🙂
BLIZZCON cosplay – Brigitte Engineer
Ha. I’m hilarious. Because I’ve changed my mind AGAIN about what projects I wanna start. So I ended up choosing something way more achievable for both my body comfort and my skill level as a cosplayer. Brigitte’s Engineer skin. I’ll be publishing updates on my Facebook page regularly, but I’ll put some more meaty tutorial…
Here we go again… Atlantic Mercy
So I’m HYPE – I get to go to BLIZZCON this year! Which means a big old cosplay coming with me. And what better to take across the Atlantic than the Atlantic Mercy skin? Finally able to start designing since the skin was released yesterday. There are a lot of challenges for me with this…
The Rush For Con – Brigitte Lindholm Shieldmaiden Final Product
So, I ended up really rushing through this to make it to my con deadline. In the process, I didn’t document a lot of what I was doing. From here, I’ll elaborate a lot on how I did everything I did, and the improvements I’m going to make once I have time past the busy…
Mace to the Face Part 2- [Flail] – Brigitte Lindholm Shieldmaiden Cosplay
Time to paint. For materials used, see Part 1 here. Step One – Base Coat I ended up putting on a base coat of black spray paint just to even out the colouring (especially with the crazy craft foam colours) and give a steady base to work off of. I took it out to my…
Mace to the Face Part 1- [Flail] – Brigitte Lindholm Shieldmaiden Cosplay
First thing I wanted to tackle recording in this project is Brigitte’s weapon. The Flail usually has a chain which extends in the game, but that was way too impractical for any kind of convention wear. So here is the breakdown of how I’m constructing the piece as its most basic version. Materials: 10mm…
Brigitte – Shieldmaiden Cosplay References
And here we go – Step 1 for any cosplay, grab some references. For Overwatch, this is easy – just pull up the Hero Gallery ingame and snapshot away. It’s great for seeing how the hero’s clothing moves and flows as well. But here’s the useful ones I’m referencing for you to use if you…
So I’m hopeless at sticking to one project…
So. I suck at keeping my mind on one project. All the time. I flit between things, half finished until eventually I end up with lots of half finished things. On that note, I can’t help but move on to my next project – Brigitte Lindholm’s Shieldmaiden skin. I was experiencing some doubt about construction…
Zarya -Barbarian Skin References
And here’s a selection of the screen shots I’ve taken from the game to try and get together as many references as I can for the build. Overwatch is excellent for this, purely because you can examine the avatar for the different heroes in all their skins while emoting, using different victory poses and also…
