I just love looking at elaborately made costumes such as this cosplay of Aranea Highwind by Kaori. Armor detailing is one of my favorite parts of making cosplay. There are plenty of ways to make armor and plenty of materials that can be used. Starters make take on making them from papermache but later on progress to building their costumes with the use of sturdier material such as EVA foam or worbla. More sophisticated and experienced crafters may use other materials that may cost a lot more such as 3D prints. Nevertheless, there is fulfillment in finishing the work regardless of what materials are being used to complete it. I may not know what Kaori’s costume was made of but I can say it’s definitely well made and is of good quality materials.
