I've been an active player of Guild Wars for 5+ years now and it's easily my favorite game. I absolutely fell in love with concept art for Guild Wars 2 and decided it was time to show my devotion to the game through cosplay. This is based off of Shining Blade artwork, although it's also wearable by players as Masquerade armor in-game.

This was my project for the better part of a year, and I spent a huge amount of time making it as accurate as possible, despite the overwhelming detail of the reference artwork. All of the armor and gems were made from scratch, and the bodice, gloves, and purple overskirt designs were hand-painted. This was my first resin-casting and extensive armor project, and it was definitely a learning experience!
