Artemisia in 300: Rise of an Empire

Artemisia in 300: Rise of an Empire

Additionally to the Loki & Leah cosplay I’m also working on Artemisia’s armour. This lovely lady was portrayed by Eva Green in the movie 300: Rise of an Empire. And everything about her was just so delightfully evil. 😉

Actually I wanted this to be a surprise for Joanna. It really is about time that she got a reward for all her wonderful work. And she asked for the Artemisia cosplay. But for planning purposes she had to know when I would be finished with what projects. So I told her about it and now I can also publish some pictures.

But back to the topic: Again it’s not real armour. It is made from black leatherette. The pattern I basically copied of off screenshots from 300. Then I made a cover for my mannequin, painted the pattern on that and then cut it. With that I had an idea how the pieces had to look. And then I started sewing test pieces and adjusted them.

The next step is adding details. All these spikes. 😀
