Spectre (Flowering Shade set) is my most intricate cosplay to this date. Originally made for ESL Berlin 2023 and presented on stage at the Velodrom Arena, I was able to showcase my work at their worldwide cosplay broadcast. The following year I was invited to return to ESL in Birmingham, now armed with Spectre's Edge of the Flowering Shade weapon.

To design and build this cosplay I made use of a variety techniques. This included the 3D scanning software to make a scale replica of my head, imported into a modeling tool so I could build and print a forming fitting helment. The remaining work was completed through a combination of sewing, resin molding, and an array of electronics and LED fabric to bring her etheral glow to life.

Much of my time creating, getting into, and presenting the cosplay has been captured through "behind the scenes" videos and social media posts, so you can follow the adventure with me from begining to end.  I was truly humbled by the support I received from ESL staff, and revelled in the number of videos we were able to make together over the course of the weekend.
