After two and a half years, here he is: my Loki costume based on one of the Ragnarok concept art designs by the incredible @aleksibriclot!
Those who have been around here a while will know I was always sad we didnβt get the darker Norse/Viking aesthetic in Ragnarok, so when I saw this early design I knew I wanted to bring it to life, even if it took a long time (Iβm just one person after all, not multiple Marvel studios!)
I have SO MUCH to share about the process and materials and some epic photos we got this past weekend, but for now I thought a badass transition was the way to start. π
Found family trope? But it's me on the last convention finding a whole TVA/MCU cosplay group π₯Ήβ¨
It was so nice bringing the Avengers 2012 version of my cosplay for the first time and having the opportunity to take some photos with them π The second picture is just *chef kiss* perfect.
Also...I guess this is an official face reveal here!
My first actual Loki cosplay shoot πβ¨ππ (apart from some casual 2021 pics) was a (generic) Vintage Lady Loki closet cosplay (in October 2023), with an emerald green Summer dress that is quite reminiscent of 1930s slinky dresses. I also took some pics with another emerald green dress that I dubbed 'casual Asgardian fashion', and you can see that one in the selfies in this post (more to come of both!).
This post features a couple of edits from this shoot, a selfie roll, and some casual test pics with just the make-up, lenses and wig (the hairline is still not customized, but I didn't need to do that yet because of the horns xD).

It was after the shoot that I realized that the green contact lenses that I had worn for the first time that day were actually two different colours o_O The left one is the emerald green that I had wanted, but for the right eye they sent me an aqua one π . Ah well, there's Photoshop, and the effect also looks kinda cool, I guess.
I took a whirlwind trip to NYC last weekend for non cosplay reasons, but being there always makes me think of this Loki excursion to one of the Avengers shooting locations! I super want to go back now that I have the actual Avengers armour instead of Dark World π
