Savathun Cosplay

Savathun is one of the biggest cosplay projects I've done so far from learning how to build foam armor and detail it with foam clay, to building my biggest wings yet, and proportioning pieces onto a human shape from a reference that was much lankier than a human. I started building this project in March 2023 and finished it in August 2023.
