Wind Waker: Exploring Dragon Roostby *CatalystSirene

Photography / People & Portraits / Cosplay

I updated my Medli costume for Katsucon! I made a new beak (it's a custom latex prosthetic), as well as wings! They are fully articulated to mimic the proper movement of a real bird's wings. These were a huge undertaking, it was my first time constructing anything that dabbled into the area of puppetry, but I'm so pleased with the end result! They worked really well at the con, and most importantly, they didn't break!

The wings were made by adapting =Sunnybrook1's Realistic Wing Tutorial: [link] I ended up making quite a few changes to it, but that's what inspired the basic idea! Definitely check it out if you want to get a general understanding of how my wings were made.

I was also honored to have Rin join me as Link! She was absolutely perfect and I had so much fun getting to cosplay her! (The first of many more in the future!!)

These costumes have been featured in a few Katsucon cosplay videos!

How did you make the beak? I don't see any straps. o___o

The beak is a latex cast and is attached with spirit gum!

I really enjoyed playing the game (good old memories)

I don't know why but I really liked Medli she's such a adorable charackter

I also thought to Cosplay her but I'm still not sure.

I can't wait to make my Fairy Bird Cosplay (an original charackter I created). She also has arm wings but just smaler because she has too carry a bow and I'm not sure if I can move my arms well if I do them too big.

Omg, you're my new favorite person. <3

~LyShaf Mar 19, 2013 Hobbyist Artist

this is amazing.
how did you make the shoes and from what did you make the feathers?

*CatalystSirene Mar 19, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Thanks!

1. The shoes are stilettos with the heels removed. The coverings are made from vinyl.

2. The feathers are made from wire sandwiched between two layers of broadcloth, held together by gesso. I then painted them and sealed them with Mod Podge.

I might have alot more questions about the wings later cuz your csplay realy enspired me to cosplay Medli as well.

*CatalystSirene Mar 20, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter
