Scanlan Shorthalt - The Legend of Vox Machina

"And as for myself? My name is Scanlan, the man with the fat purple hand, my music's the jam, goin' ham, ya can't stand it, get some water, hide your daughters-"
- The Terror of Tal'Dorei - Part 1, S01E01

This design of Scanlan is based on the outfit he wears in episode 3 of the first season. I decided to take some liberties on the design and make a trunk hose instead of the regular trousers. I also ended up working with lots of different textures in my version of the costume. One of my favorite things about cosplays based on characters from Actual Play shows is the freedom to make a design your own, so that’s exactly what I did.

Just before I started this project, I was gifted a lot of purple velvet and this cosplay was the perfect choice to use it for. Overall this costume consists mainly of reused materials like the shoes, wig, hair for the sideburns and fabric from my stash. The only purchased things were rhinestones, boot cover fabric and the shiny coat lining. 

This cosplay was created as part of a Danish performance of “Pull My Beads of Love” which you can read all about and watch here.

The project was completed in November 2022
