Codex from The Guild

Codex

The Guild

Photographer: Gedas Nakrosis


I have made this costume from a few different materials, like fabric, wood, craft foam (the white bracers, the middle part of the corset and the shoulders), I massacred a bathing suit top (bra) for a costume as well. The staff was my first prop ever and I have used a wooden base for it, carton "wings" and an acrylic ball, which is painted from inside of it. The most difficult thing to make was definitely the top, combining fabric with craft foam and trying to make it seem like it's one piece. I think I did succeed in that. I did wear my costume at a small local convention called "Nyaaa!" and won 1st place there with it.

I chose to cosplay Codex avatar from The Guild for a very simple reason - it appealed to me in every way possible, I was playing MMORPG for a very, very long time and as others might call it "had no real life". I do now - it's cosplay. However, I still play Aion and plan to make a costume from it this year. I got into cosplay a year and a half ago, and my first costume was a simple lolita. I have won awards with 3 of my costumes (and I have made 3 and a half (half being only the props), however, all of the convention were local (in Lithuania).

I have wanted to cosplay for a very long time, but always thought I cannot sew. And it's the truth - I can do very little sewing (enough for Codex costume, but nothing fancier than that), but my props did not stop coming after the staff, I now mostly craft armor costumes and I try to progress as much as possible in that area. And I love it. Every little bit about cosplay: the crafting, the people, the mood, being able to be however you want, or, better yet - being your inner self in every form you can ever imagine.
