It is Done. I've finished embroidery on my blouse for the Laudna cosplay
Ever since I've seen the first episode of Campaign 3, and even before any announcement of cons, I was seized by an idea. I just had to do a Laudna cosplay, even though I've never done one before in my life. I was inspired by the wonderful official design (by @agarthanguide), bought a simple blouse, taught myself really quickly hand embroidery, and got to work. And I'm really happy about how it turned out !
(more photos and details under the cut)
I started in January 2022, with no pressure for a year, so I took it very slow. And then when the MCM London was announced, I finished almost half of the project in under 3 months ! Unfortunately, because I'm still new at this, I didn't exactly count the total time I spent on this, but it's more than 60 hours for sure, and probably around 140 hours in total (including initial drawings, trials on other materials, re-drawings on the final blouse, washing, etc.).
The little yellow square were my enemies for a time (some do not resemble squares... but I got the hang of it after a while). In general, I think the lines are not really straight, but when worn, no one will see !!
This project changed my life, in small ways (like everything you do in life). It was not only a part of my first cosplay ever, but especially the thing that made me do embroidery. I discovered a passion, and techniques, and resources (thanks Internet people everywhere !), and since then I've been working on other projects - not CR related, that I may show later if people are interested. Also it's been a constant companion of my intense watching of the later episodes of campaign 2 : picture me if you will with my needle and thread and my project watching the best team that no one in Exandria has ever heard of save an archfey, not-really-kill an archmage, and save the world while still being chucklefucks.
So yeah I'm excited to share it with the world, a little. London awaits !
So this was Samantha Béart (Karlach)’s response to Neil Newbon (Astarion) saying that out of the Baldur’s Gate 3 companions, he’d probably go for Karlach.
Ladies and gentlemen, she just called him a fucking sub.
Well this was a madness and a half!!! My first ever artist alley is officially over and I survived against all odds. One MCM is enough to make you feel like a seasoned pro lmao.
I was swarmed by a million critters and even more Astarion fans and met so many beloved people. It was such an uplifting and confimring experience, especially with how dreadful the online sphere currently feels for artists.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and talked to me, or supported my work. I appreciate you all so so much 🧡
