loki laufeyson -avengers cosplay test

finally its done! well sort off these are test pictures for my loki avengers cosplay,there are little things i want to do,mainly i need to add more velcro in places to hold pieces like the chest plate and the vambraces in better,
the wig im wearing is my backup loki wig ,my proper loki wig isnt here yet! since i only ordered it this morning lol,and the backup isnt styled much anyway i just put some pins in to hold the fringe back for these pics also i havnt got any make up on either XD

im very happy with this cosplay its been my first real big cosplay that ive made entirely from scratch as it shows on my w.i.ps ive done this all myself with the help of my mum to take photos every so often all the armor was hand sculpted by me with my craft knife all the armor on the legs the same,theres 55 pieces per leg,most were hand painted too since the spray paint would miss parts,the metal trim was put on by hand each piece is 3mmwide and 10mm long bend round the fabric then ironed in place,this took 2 days to do the entire jacket(theres got to be least 2000 pieces on the jacket alone) ,the tunic then took a day,the shoes didnt take as long,there is metal detailing on the coat,tunic,edges of the sleeves and shoes .
