COSTUME
Riven took around 3 weeks to make, and that was me taking my time XD
Armour was made with worbla, craft foam, and EVA foam where I needed thicker pieces. Faux crystals were made from styrofoam, which were sanded down and covered in worbla. I primed it with undiluted wood glue, and mixed holographic powder into my paints to give a subtle two-tone shimmer in the sunlight.
I decided to change the actual design of Riven and have her wear a one-piece over her pants. In her original design, she wears pants, knickers, then a bodycon top, which seemed too much for me. 
Also, I noticed I placed her thigh armour way too low. This has been fixed.

PROP
Made from styrofoam, craft foam and worbla. I got a 500mm piece of styrofoam, cut out the base design, and sanded down the sides. Extra details were added in with craft foam, then worbla was heated and quickly sandwiched onto the sword. Extra worbla was used on the handle for durability. Them it was primed, painted and weathered. Altogether it weighs under 1.5kg.

LOCATION
Kangaroo Valley, southern NSW
