The first project of this year taught me a few lessons, but the most important one is: I have to stop forcing my self to finish a project in the shortest amount of time!

If you follow us for a while you know we are very good in bringing crazy project to life in no time. But this always comes at a cost: stress, less sleep, no time for nearly anything else than the project. Don't get me wrong! I like challenges and all the crazy projects we did in the past, I am fine with that, as long it's a commissioned work and part of a big campaign. But from time to time I make "fun" costume projects for myself and I realized, I am tending to force myself to finish these "fun" projects in just a few days, even when it's obviously not possible. I am getting frustrated and disappointed of myself... which makes no sense. While working on the ball gown I cried so much and started to realize that I have unrealistic expectations in myself. Making my very first ball gown, with 60 meter of fabric and all the details I had in mind in only 4 days... what was I even thinking?! I stoped working on the dress, set it aside and decided to continue working on it later, whenever I felt like this is the right time.

Even though I have a kind of love-hate relationship to this dress I love how it came out.

I am creating hoof shoes for so many years now and have done many styles. I thought it was finally time for a winter themed pair. During the process I changed the design several times and originally wanted to have more sparkle, but I ended up keeping it more simple and absolutely love the outcome.

It's official, Bob finally got his first cosplay! After years of being the best cosplay crafting helper, it was about time to make a cosplay for him. Bob is a rescue kitty which we adopted a few years ago. He was kept outside in a cage as a toy for the kids. And look at him now, being the best boy ever ready to enter the wasteland.

Also don't worry, he only had to wear his cosplay for a few minutes for the photoshoot and he was very relaxed. Of course, he got all the treats he wanted.

Thank you so much Bethesda for sponsoring this project. If you want to have your own cat or dog in your camp, make sure to check out season 19 of Fallout 76!

It is an absolute honor that we had the chance to bring Emmrich from Dragon Age: The Veilguard into the real world! We only had 3 weeks, but we are the biggest Dragon Age fans so we took this project as a challenge! With a lot of passion and with the help of some friends we managed to finish the cosplay just in time to celebrate the release of the new Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Thanks to EA - Electronic Arts Dragon Age for the trust in our work and for

Ever wondered how a Necromancer gets dressed? Emmrich's whole outfit has such a unique design and I think Ralf enjoys how comfy it is compared to most of his other cosplays.

Our all time favorite Necromancer Emmrich has arrived! I can't put in words how happy and proud we are about this project. The three weeks of crafting and sewing madness have paid off!

Thanks to EA - Electronic Arts Dragon Age for sponsoring this project and for the trust in our work.

To celebrate the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard I am showing you how I finished the coat for our Emmrich cosplay. It has SO many details and from the first mock-up to the finished coat it took me 2 weeks... which is already quite fast... but still not fast enough, considering I only had 3 weeks for the entire cosplay. Even though I worked as fast as I could I am super happy and proud how good it came out and I can't wait to finally show you the fully finished cosplay in a few days.

The coat is the main piece of Emmrich's outfit and also the most complex part of the whole project. I am extremely proud how well it looks so far. Sewing might not be my best skill and I need forever for every single step, but somehow I find a way to even manage complex sewing projects like this. Always keep on going and believe in your skills... in the end it will work!

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be released on October 31st, but you can already preorder the game, so make sure to check out the link in the comments!

I can finally show you the first finished costume part of our Dragon Age: The Veilguard cosplay. I rarely worked with foam for my projects this year, but for Emmrich’s boots it was the perfect material. You can easily make foam look like real leather!

We are super happy to announce our new project. We have the honor to bring one of the companions from the upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard to life. One of the new companions in the game is Professor Emmrich Volkarin. He is a necromancer from the kingdom of Nevarra and he has a skeleton assistant named Manfred.

My partner Ralf will be portraying Emmrich and I am sure he will look fastastic. The whole cosplay is gonna be super detailed and we only have 3 weeks for it, so again the perfect challenge for us.

A day as a professional WARFRAME cosplayer at Tokyo Game Show

03/10/2024

We built a Nix hand puppet in only 4 weeks. It was our first time ever creating a puppet and it came with a lot of challenges and new things we've learned. We really enjoyed this project and are super proud how Nix turned out. You can now find the full-length making-of video on my youtube channel.

Thank you Ubisoft for your trust in our work!

If you love Nix as much as we do make sure to check out Star Wars Outlaws! It is
the first open-world game set in the Star Wars universe where you take on the role of Kay Vess. Together with her friend Nix she is navigating the galactic underworld.

I am so proud to finally show you our finished Nix puppet. I still can't believe we managed to built him in only 4 weeks, especially because puppet making was
completely new to us. There was so much we had to consider, test out and we had a lot of fails. Stay tuned for the full-length making-of video with an in-depth view of the whole process of bringing Nix to life.

If you love Nix as much as we do make sure to check out Star Wars Outlaws! It is

Team Lightning Cosplay is going on a new adventure. We are bringing Arthur from WARFRAME 1999 to Tokyo Game Show!
