CARMILLA
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
I debuted this cosplay in 2024, originally for the Swedish Cosplay Championships
For many years Carmilla has lived rent free in my mind, and when I qualified to the Swedish Championships of 2024 I decided that this was the time to finally make her a reality. In fairness though, the "final" version wasn't really ready until Volta in Cosplay 2024 a couple of months later, where the majority of all current photos where taken. Nonetheless, this was a massive build and although I'm not unfamiliar with working with fabrics, it does take a whole other mindset compared to armour especially when it's something so particular as Carmilla's iconic design.
