“Painting definitely takes the longest, the mask alone took me about 20 hours to paint.”

That axe looks like it could do some damage

No corners have been cut in the design of this cosplay as even the axe is magnificently detailed. It’s not very often you can look at a cosplayer and say they look like they have been pulled directly out of a game.
