The Add-On “Reaper of Souls” made Diablo 3 such an enjoyable experience for me and I played it super intensely. Malthael, the “main bad guy”, had such an eery aura around him that I really wanted to make his costume. However I wanted to do my own take on him. Luckily my friend Zach Fischer, who is an amazing illustrator (you should check out his work) made a gender-bend version of him for me.
I made the costume in 2014 and it took me around 4 months to finish everything. The design was completely covered with tiny ornaments and swirls and was very intricate in general. While this made the project extra fun, it surely also took longer to finish everything.The armor is completely made out of Worbla and was painted with simple acrylics. My husband Benni showed a lot of love for details and brought this cosplay truly to life. Find more about the process of creating Malthael in my blog!
Malthael was also my only gender bend costume. It was an awesome experience to portray the “Angel of Death” and I was incredible exited to find some amazing locations for the photoshoot. I really enjoyed wearing this costume and doing cool poses with my curved blades!
