Astrid Hofferson Cosplay

Astrid is really cool, she rides the dragon Stormfly and she is a fierceless dragon tamer. I loved her in the first film and even more in the second. I like how she is more mature now (but still a teenager!) This is how I made Astrid Hofferson

I postponed this cosplay several times as I really wanted to do it well. It was a big project at the time. Actually, it took a long time to find a knit fabric that matched the pants and tshirt. I made all of it myself.

How I made Astrid Cosplay

All the little skulls and details are handmade one by one with foam clay. It took a long time but I enjoyed the process. I also had to dye the fur as I couldn’t find a perfect match.

I have made several tutorials for this cosplay including how to make the pauldrons and how to sew the trousers. My basic pattern started as a jean pattern with narrower legs.

The wig was a mixture of knots and braids that I made up on the spot. I styled it myself. I made the axe with plastazote a PVC tube and more fur and leather for the details.

Wearing Astrid Cosplay

I loved wearing this cosplay. As I said, it took me a while to finally finish it but I made sure I did it right. In the end I entered this cosplay to a competition and I won best costume. I had a great day wearing it.
