Loki is by far my most favorite costume ever.

It first started out with an idea, and then lead to a massive Loki obsession that I still do not understand.

Loki was my first costume that dealt with armor, and was first worn for a trial run at Comic Book Day 2013, and then debuted at Motor City Comic Con 2013.

When I started working on Loki, I had no idea how I was going to make the armor, since that was so out of what I had been doing. But, I researched tutorials and looked into foam.

His jacket was drafted from a handmade pattern and then sewn, and is fully lined. The outside is made out a shiny swimsuit fabric for the top, pleather for the back piece, and textured pleather for the bottom pieces. The inside lining is a heavy, thick green fabric. The cape is made from satin.

Arms were made from layers of vinyl that was sewn on top of each other.

All of the armor is craft foam and then the details were done with hot glue. The horns were remade in 2014 using Worbla and Styrofoam.

The sceptre was made using a wooden axe handle, and then was covered in layers of craft foam, thin for the base and then a thicker kind for the blade part. I wired a LED light into it and then used two plastic capsules from a gumball machine and wired the light into it.

This was also my first project to inquire LED lights, and it took me a while to figure out how to do it, but I'm glad I didn't give up on it!

In 2014, I went back to this costume and retouched up all the armor. I aged everything, and then to get his beaded effect on the inner piece and jacket, I cut out by hand hundreds of pieces of metal and then glued them on. It took about a week to do all of the metal detailing.

The whole costume took about two months to make.

And, the tesseract was actually this cube my dad gave me years ago that I decided to keep. It just somehow had a blue mode on it and ended up looking too much like the Tesseract.

This costume has won 2 awards; My first award ever in 2013 for Best Youth at Motor City Comic Con, and then Best Journeymen at Geek Fan Expo in 2014!
