Aliasse - Valkyrian dress part 3

Right folks, progress is back on track and i've done a bit today!, it might not look that it's too much done but because her dress is pretty complex, it's also very time consuming.


I started by sanding the green putty sculpt on her feet in order to make it smooth, i then painted it black and after that i simply added the black fabric on her legs. Just as all other parts, those had to be carefully painted with gold paint to create the golden trim and textures. each small strap that is on the top of her dress had to be carefully folded and glued, and a thin wire inserted to shape them properly, each got to be made individually so it's rather time consuming, but worth it. I also now glued on her belt-skirt but i didnt glue the belt ends fully as i need to get the front dress straps underneath first.

Aliasse - Valkyrian dress part 2

So, here is the last update for a few days. I'll be away from tomorrow (wednesday) and four days forth so i'll be back on sunday, so let's say that progress are back on monday most likely!.

I finished the clothing on her arms, and made her skirt that consists of two belts. i made the belt ends using thin cardboard cut out in the proper shape. I can't attach these yet though as i got to make the long straps that forms her dress first and i must connect these the same time because they overlap eachother at some points.

Aliasse - Valkyrian dress part 1


Yaay! i'm back with some more!

So, i finished her top and this was time consuming and needed alot of fine work on each of these bits sticking out. I had to create each of them individually, and make a red underside on the bottom since its going to point out. If that wasn't enough, i also had to include thin wire between the red and black bits in order to shape them to stick out, luckily this was the part of her dress that have most of these. I also had to paint on all the golden trim, i first tried using golden thread but it was a pain and ended up blotching glue all over the black (and didn't even stick too well!) so i reconsidered painting it, after the success of painting on the number 13 on Riela, it's confirmed to work. I also added a transparent blue pearl to work as her blue gem. So far i'm pretty pleased with the result!.

Yo everyone!, i havn't posted for a few days but i have been away, and i also had to redo a few flaws on her skin because i wasn't pleased with the result, i also stripped her hands from fabric and are going to redo it. But as a person who hates re-doing things as it slows me down and are un-motivating, i made her head and hair in between re-doing the hands.

Just like with Riela, i also did wire as a basic structure for the hair so it can be animated. I also did this to the hair hanging down in front of her ears because this was longer than Riela's. Aliasse is indeed the Valkyria with the longest hair yet. I also made a wire structure on where to add her "horns" (head decoration) later.

I might also let you all know that i'm going away for four days from wednesday to sunday, but i think i will be posting tomorrow's and tuesdays progress before i go.

Aliasse - drawing, Armature and Body


Here i gooo! with some new progress on Aliasse

As always i started of by doing a drawing of the character in the right scale to my other drawings of Alicia and Riela, in order to build the armature in-scale and with the right dimensions.


The feet of the armature was made slightly differently as she have high heels. Insteed of the usual double jointed feet o made one bolt attached to the front of the foot, and insted of the other one i wired up a high heel and sealed it by sculpting epoxy around it, i also made a epoxy sculpt on the front of the feet to shape up her unique boot shape. There still is a joint in the middle of the foot though, so shes no more limited than the others. Next up i made my usual foam body but i was a little bit more carefull this time as there is alot of bare skin on her, same applies to where to put the seams when making the skin and she still needs a few more coats of latex on it.

"All right, guys! Here we gooo!" - Aliasse joins the squad!

The young valkyria of lanseal joins the squad!
Had since awhile ago decided that Aliasse is the next puppet i will make, so it's now confirmed!. So now there will be three valkyrur in a row, and with my friend Mario doing Selvaria Bles, we will have all four!.


Number 13 is ready for battle! - Riela Marcellis puppet finished!

Right folks, she's done!, except for weapons just as with Alicia. Compared to Alicia the chellange to create Riela was in par, if not a bit easier as she does indeed have less armour.  So well, here we go, yet another valkyria joins my squad!

I made the knife holster, but i will create the knife itself later. The Nameless squad 422 badge are actually a print done on white fabric, and the number is painted on with golden paint and a fine brush!.


This is Riela's size standing with Alicia, Riela is indeed a slight bit taller as Alicia is 159cm tall while Riela is 162cm tall. Just like in the game and OVA, the nameless outfit is original and different, yet it matches the regular uniforms in a nice still contrasting way.


As a bonus i also took these cosplay thotos showing of that the exchangeable heads works nicely. Alicia looks cute in the nameless uniform!.
