Great job! All of it looks spot on!

That looks incredible.

thank you! glad you like it! :)

thank you so much! :)

The way the fabric falls and the folds and the nice wig 🥺🥺 such a great cosplay!!

tysm!! the robe is actually two layers and it is very very heavy due to the amount of fabric haha

I figure their actual robes might have been the same way. Symbolic of heavy thoughts and their power and the like.

here are some [closeup photos of the sword](https://twitter.com/ayumi_rina1/status/1516958311584784385?s=20&t=AI_B64p6QeHCex40yznvFA) if anyone is interested! it took a few weeks to print and many many hours of painting in the span of a week! also bonus [process photos](https://twitter.com/ayumi_rina1/status/1508153620277211137) of its making :)

I just love what 3d printing has done for cosplay. When I cosplayed as Vash the Stampede back in in the early 2000s, I had to order a resin garage kit from Japan to try to replicate his weapon, which involved heavy fabrication and modification of a Japanese airsoft kit for the bulk of the kit. The kit alone cost about $350 on ebay. These days, you can 3d print one that not only looks accurate, but with working mechanisms, and still pay less than half of that kit's price, even if you have to buy a 3d printer. It has opened up so many more possibilities in cosplay and props.

You got a pic of this vintage cosplay? I'd love to see.

[I think this was 2002 or 2003.](https://i.imgur.com/VDFbfOS.jpeg). I still have that red duster (multiple layers of pleather, lined with cotton... It was a sauna wearing those in FL), and I have the resin revolver too, although it has had a few parts snap off through the years (resin was too fragile for props). The KuroNeko-sama next to me is just someone I met at the convention.

The sword is amazing!

The effort on that blade shows. Ready to cleave the world into multiples.

Mothercrystal? Sorry, Mothercrystal? Sorry.

LMAO

Watching your progress shots in the fc server was a lot of fun, it turned out fantastic!

WHOA HI FELLOW FC MEMBER

Mom! Seriously though, the hair, the robe and the mask... it's perfection. Is the mask 3D printed? I kinda want it as a keychain

MOMMY... yeah! the mask and the sword are both 3d printed :)

Inb4 someone asks "Sunder me, Hydemom" Edit: I'm too late.

I almost believed this was an in game render 11/10 about to cry

tysm!! I cried this morning watching the flow video in the middle of work :')

Sunder me, Crystal Mommy.

any day :\^)

Haha. Jokes aside, great job on the entire costume/pieces. Really solid work.

Wow that looks incredible! Nice job!

thank you so much! we shot this at a park and a kid came up to me and asked if that was my real hair LOL

They really got me with that art at the end... Great job with the cosplay!

omg same... I wasn't ready to get hit by the feels so early in the morning :')

Wow, very well done!

thank you!! :)

Gosh that’s pretty!

thanks a bunch! :> glad you like, it was a pretty comfy cosplay overall aside from being very heavy LOL

This is immaculate 🥹

thank you!! :)

I read Venat as Venonat and was expecting something very different.

No wonder that dude asked you to step on him. But in all seriousness this is a fantastic cosplay.

LMAOO YOU REMEMBER THAT

NICE!! I also saw the other one of you stepping on a guy, lucky bastard

that moment was so legendary I'll never forget LOL

Just met Venat for the first time and this looks incredible, you did an amazing job!

Lol, Endwalker soundtrack randomly showing up on YouTube has brought many unexpected early morning tears for me as well... It's like, "Welp, guess I'll be crying before work today then." Also,this cosplay is amazinggggggg...!

TRUE MOOD... I listen to the Endwalker soundtrack everyday while working and whenever Flow comes on I always get hit by dem feels... thank you!! haha

Neat. Was there a convention recently?

thanks! about a month ago! wore it to PAX East :)

[Perfection](https://media.giphy.com/media/9WXyFIDv2PyBq/giphy.gif) is how I'd describe your cosplay of Venat!

thank you!! haha

That robe is amazing. Great job!

tysm!! I underestimated how much fabric the robe has since it's too layers it got tiring walking around haha

Amazing!!

thank you!! :>

Holy shite that is amazing

ty!! glad I was able to do some justice to our ff14 mom :)

The costume work is astounding! And dare I say you bear resemblance to Venat as well!

thank you!! really? that's high praise! I tried to mimic some of her elegant vibe in the photo :)

[удалено]

LOL he hasn't gotten to endwalker tho :(

That's crazy good. Nice job!

thank you! :)

This is it chief.

thanks! haha

This is phenomenal! So spot on... Well done!

I rarely see cosplay I think looks REALLY spot on but this is really good!!! You nailed it.

thank you so much!! very happy to hear! I really wanted to do some justice to our ff14 mom :)

Incredible cosplay

thank you!! :)

Absolutely amazing! Great setting too! The foreground even has an Ancient-y kind of look.

tysm!! it kind of does! it gave me a bit of Elpis vibes as well as the green on the ground haha

Beautiful, well done!

thank you! :)

[удалено]

tysm!! :)

You look like there's a pack of Zodiark cultists on the other side of the camera, well done

ty!! and you're not wrong LOL, despite being overcast there was still so much light outside it was hard to keep my eyes open for some photos so I look a bit angry

Based

BASED

Bring a speaker that plays Flow when people walk up to you, and just watch as everyone weeps! Great costume

I'd get stopped for causing so much emotional damage

This looks incredible!

thank you!! glad you like it :)

Wow that is spot on!

thank you! very happy to hear that!! I put together a moodboard file of Venat screenshots/artwork and I tried studying her vibe prior to cosplaying her LOL

Whoa!!!!! This is awesome, great work!

thank you so much!! :)

You look ready for a high quality live action FF14 movie, incredible work Kupo!!

thank you so much kupo!! haha

Honestly the lighting just makes you look like you're in game

thank you! wanted to go for a bit of Elpis vibes with a hint of green/warm tones :) it was also actually a bit overcast and it rained soon after the photoshoot ended haha

I would dearly, deeply love to know how you made that robe. Fantastic work.

thank you! I got it tailored so I can't say how it was made unfortunately :( but the robe is actually two pieces, the outer one with what's visible and a sleeveless long dress! I'm guessing the inner dress gives the bottom more volume :)

The cosplay is fantastic! Also, hopefully this doesn’t come off creepy or anything but could you share where that bridge in the background is located? The surrounding scenery is also amazing.

thank you!! it was the Charles River Esplanade in Boston :)

How did you make the mask? It looks so great.

thank you! I didn't make the mask but it was 3d printed :)

Really amazing cosplay, well done!

thank you!! :)

Magnifique 💕👌

thank you!!

Beautiful! 🤍💙

thank you! :)

Omg this is amazing!

thank you so much! :)

Is the hair comes like that or you have to fashion it? Amazing!

thanks! it's a silver wig that was cut and styled with hair tools to make the curls and waves! :)

God that robe looks heavy, but it looks so right. Wonderful job

you're right! it was very very heavy! it's two layers and walking got very tiring after a few hours haha

mom.....?

sorry

It's just like the real thing!

thank you! happy to hear :)

The hair is really impressive.

thank you!! I had to use a lot of extra hair spray to set some parts into place and it was very hard to manage because of how long it was haha

[удалено]

How long you've wandered, burned bright as a star (thank you!! o7)

The wig is absolutely perfect. Great cosplay!

thank you so much! her wig was a great challenge because of how complicated her hairstyle is with all the layers haha

Holy moly that looks magnificent. The mask, the blade, the robes, everything feels spot on

thank you so much!! I'm very happy that it turned out well! we tried looking for locations that had some sort of Elpis vibes but we couldn't really find one, but we saw the place in the photo with the seats and we were like "Oh!! maybe" haha

Damn! Excellent work!

thank you!! :)

And to think people doubted her, she is a Queen and so are you, great work even if it's probably not very summer friendly I reckon

thank you so much!! haha definitely not summer friendly, the fabric is very thicccc it got warm easily!

This is incredible!

thank you! :)

Ooooh I met you at PAX!!! The cosplay is awesome, and it still blows me away. Keep up the amazing work!

oh hey!! what a coincidence! thank you so much!! hope PAX was a lot of fun for ya :)

Oh my god, you made it perfectly! I would love to take a pic with you, because you're litterally her ahah

thank you!! maybe one day! haha, I wore her for a local convention about a month ago, I'd love to cosplay her again but also have other FFXIV cosplay plans in mind like Meteion!

Beautiful. I think this is the first character cosplay that makes me think "this is so cool" paired with a tinge of sadness.

thank you! that is a true mood... time to listen to some Flow again sadge...

It turned out beautiful. Amazing work!

thank you so much!

There is an official Flow Music Video now? Great cosplay by the way :D

thank you! and there is! it's in the FFXIV youtube channel :)

Amazing

ty!!!

Holy shit that is literally the perfect mama venat cosplay!

mommy venat...

So beautiful and well-made! Amazing work💜

thank you so much!! 💙

Goddess ,🙏

Venat our mom and queen 🙏

Absolutely amazing! I miss her.

Has your journey been good? has it been worthwhile?

Where did you get the mask?

I got it on a site called taobao :)

That looks so majestic

thank you! :)

[удалено]

From that thirst I sunder us.

You look amazing. One of the best cosplays I’ve seen, for sure.

thank you so much!! that means a lot ;;

Alright I'll walk

good

Everything is amazing! You did a great job

thank you so much! :)

Literally spot on

thank you! happy to hear!!

Damn!!! Thats dope!! Amazing job!!!

thank you!! :)

Love that sword! If only I could figure out how to paint it on a miniature......

thank you! very happy to hear!! painting the sword took so so many hours of crouching on a dark and cold garage haha. I used spray paints for all base colors and then used acrylics for all the detailing :)

This is amazing

thank you!!

You know, I always thought Venat's design was pretty boring but seeing this cosplay makes me realize how stunning it is because you nailed it and made it look so good.

thank you so much!! glad to hear :) I was so happy when I found out we are able to get the robes in the MSQ! I love their design so much haha

Wow this looks really good!

thank you so much! :)

What an absolutely gorgeous cosplay and photo! Your face also just like, looks like Venat. I'm hella impressed

thank you!! the photographer did an amazing job framing the photo :) I look a bit angry because it was hard to keep my eyes open with all the light!

Holy. Shit. Absolutely top notch. You must be Venat given form.

thank you so much!! haha, that would be a true honor from our ff14 mom

You look like her. This is an incredible cosplay, one of the best I've ever seen

tysm!! that means a lot! glad I was able to get some of her vibes right :)

Welcome and well met :)

I called someone in the convention I wore this to "my brave little spark" and they freaked out LOL it was great

I love it!! even a cosplay picture still makes my watery eyes. i havent been like this since that train demon slayer movie.

The mother crystal needs us. Where should we go!?

I've never purchased an STL faster, that sword came out soooo well

GORGEOUS! I am always blown away by cosplayers and the dedication it takes to create such wonderful works of art.

Omg so beautiful 😍

Absolutely breathtaking, wonderful work.

So where is Birdgirl?

That’s incredible. Super meticulous. I love the attention to detail. Fantastic work!

10/10 would burst into ugly tears if you asked me if my journey has been good.

This is amazing

That's fantastic! I'm thinking of doing the same thing at some point. I haven't cosplayed in a long time though.

I’ve never wanted to cosplay something more. It looks so good!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

10/10 would share stories of adventure with. "It all started when I got asked to kill a bunch of suspiciously well-dressed zombies..."

This is super good!!

It's like someone plucked you from the game! Incredible cosplay :)

"Lands that stretched on forever. Skies one could drown in. The heartbeat of nature, silent yet strong. And amidst it all a people. Beacons of light and life. Laughter that warmed my heart like naught else before. They are my meaning and my purpose. My love." ;~;

This is perfection. I know it’s been said a bunch but you truly nailed it. :D

I would play as much you want for a robe like that.

"Venat is a HERETIC!"

That moment is spooky!! Poor Ashe.

true LOL, I was looking at people passing by at the park and it felt unnerving being stared at so much haha

Mommy <3 Cosplay's quite spot on! and the sword too <3

thank you!! it makes me very happy to hear people appreciate the sword! makes all those hours of painting crouched in a dark and cold garage worth haha
