This stunning crafter is known for details and armor work. And we have to talk about one of their bigger, and baddest cosplays, The Visarch.
While many artists focus on creative license with their projects, Arborealkey is a Cosplay Artist who makes exceptionally accurate armor constructions and cosplay weapons. You can read our interview with her HERE.
Her high level of work and attention to detail in the painting and shading create pieces of armor that jump off the pages of our source books and breathe new life. Enjoy these images of her finished Visarch.
The Visarch
Also known as the Sword of Ynnead, The Visarch is an Eldar serving the God of the Dead. And luckily for Warhammer cosplayers everywhere, they also have a very impressive-looking costume which was brought to life by Arborealkey.
As a whole, this costume has an immediate wow factor. But once you start looking a little closer at the small, thoughtful little details all throughout the entire build, it starts to become clear that this is the work of a master. Everything from the stitching in the design, to the custom jewels and weapons, and even the purposefully matted fur makes the Visarch one of the most incredible costumes I’ve seen in a while.
