I'm fresh from DragonCon and have cosplay on my brain. So I'm diving in to a couple of cosplay projects I've been mulling over for a while. First up is there character Rogue Amendiares from the game Cyberpunk 2077. I've had an appreciation for this character because she is a mature woman who is still an absolute boss. In her case, a literal boss, being one of the top fixers in Night City. Chronologically, she'd be in her 80s in the game world, though she looks like she could be in her 50s if not younger. They've got some preem sunscreen in the future. And don't even get me started on how flat and smooth her cyber-belly is as an octogenarian.
I decided on the outfit she wears when we meet her at her nightclub, The Afterlife. A cropped sweatshirt with carbon-fiber trim around the collar and the "Survive" slogan across the chest, paired with leather pants.
The color of the sweatshirt is hard to pin down. It seems to differ from one image to the next, from a mustard to more of a neon yellow. I split the difference and went with lemon. I'm still a novice when it comes to sewing, so this will be a learning experience. I'll still need to source some pleather for the pants. Or find some existing pants to modify.
The only real prop involved is the odd little device she wears on her belt. I don't know what this is meant to be exactly. It doesn't look like a phone. But it's a simple enough design and was a quick and easy build in Sketchup. So I have that modeled and printed. Now for some sanding and painting.
If anyone is interested, the model can be found on Thingiverse.
