Motivation: I really liked the design of the outfit. The suit with the long coat has a crisp look to it, and the scarf is such an unusual pattern...the bold decals, and color combination of green and cream appealed to me.
Goal: Be finished by NYCC 2013 (october 11)
Status: WIP

Process so far:
Although I really liked the design of Loki's battle armour, his midguardian attire was easier, and more accessible. I already had a white dress shirt, black dress pants, long winter coat, and last Christmas I received the "lokiscarf" for casual wear. I already had a vest, but I found another one that was longer and better fitted the look. The only thing I'm missing is the tie:
Now, for the sceptre. To distinguish myself from other cosplays -aka. I wanted a challenge that would be more painful than the normal route- I changed the design so the sceptre would be able to "morph" into its other form (something resembling this). School has kept me busy, but I managed to make some progress beforehand (aka the last week of summer).
I found references of the sceptre online and printed them out. I then bought some plywood from Michaels and traced the design onto it. Using a jigsaw and drill (my Dad and I had some fun bonding time), I cut the pattern out, and voila!
To do: For the outfit, all I need is to get a black tie.
For the sceptre, I need to find an extendable pole (3'-5'+), which would help the illusion of the prop "changing" forms. Then I need to paint the pole and blades, and attach the blades to the pole (I'd do this by putting a bolt through the middle of the pole and securing the blades to it with wingnuts).When I want to change from cane to sceptre, I'll flip the blades up and extend the pole.
I also need to figure out how to create the blue light. I bought an emergency blue glowstick, so I'll go from there.
