Cosplay Feature: RiderCGA's King Daredevil!

Photo by Chazzy Baragiola The combination of being snowed in from the blizzard this past week PLUS being hooked hard into Cyberpunk 2077 made this post about a day late. Apologies for the delay but let's get started! I came across RiderCGA's awesome Daredevil during my collection of MAGFest pics so this is probably the last one for that specific convention. As you'll see from the images I found, Rider has a really awesome look/take on the Man Without Fear. Further research indicates that this is known as King Daredevil and is the title Matt Murdock took during a run back in 2022! Starting from the top, you can see a lot of red and black went into this look for the character. The top includes a red hood that hides just about the top of the mask the character is well known for. Small peek at the horns too!

Cosplay Progress: Riku's Keychain!

This past weekend I've managed to do some work on Riku from Kingdom Hearts! Specifically I created his little keychain that hangs off the end of his keyblade like most others have. In a sense I was basically creating the Heartless emblem seeing as that's what the keychain looked like! I used a little bit of the Worbla I had to create it and paint as usual for most of my cosplays I've done! Once the shape was drawn out on tracing paper, I transferred it to the Worbla and cut out 2 copies.

Tracing out the symbol!

Once that was done I placed foam in-between the pieces and used a heat gun to press down and have both ends stick. This led to the painting process which included Gesso, White acrylics followed by Black and Red. Once the white was placed, I used a pen to draw out an outline which would be wear the red paint would go. For some reason this time around the Gesso took a very long time to dry out so it became a very tedious process of repainting areas over and over again. Once all the paint was on, I sanded it down to somewhat make the emblem look smooth. I really love how it came out now all I need is to put a hole at the top big enough to fit a chain through it :D

Painting the Gesso on. 
Adding in the red outline.

Finishing it with black in the center.

Done :)
