Diablo 3 Armor of Akkhan Cosplay Update

By August 11, 2015February 8th, 2017Cosplay

Just wanted to get a quick update out on my Diablo 3 Armor of Akkhan crusader cosplay. Here are a few recent shots of the breastplate, tabbard, gorget, boots, and the poleyns (knees) lit up with LED eyeballs!

So far I have 95% of all the costume construction complete – WOO! – and I even have 23 days left to paint! Oh… and also make an entire Legendary Flail (eek)! Good thing a tight time limit never scared me.

Painting should commence this week and through the next two at least, followed by the finishing touches! I plan to make at least one more update before DragonCon (labor day weekend), so stay tuned and check my Facebook for the most recent updates.

Well folks, the crusade calls me – so I go!

** UPDATE: September 2016: The Armor of Akkhan is complete! Check out the portfolio page to see my cemetery photoshoot with Dim Horizon Studio.
