The character and the costume

akali mid only yajuu

This sporty Akali “Mid Only” cosplay is inspired by the artwork of Yajuu, who imagined several League of Legends female champions in athletic outfits. Since I had just finished making the Default Akali wig, I decided to style it with sportswear pieces I already owned—an outfit that perfectly matches my passion for fitness and workout-inspired cosplay.

Riven TOP ONLY cosplay Tutorial

For this Akali cosplay from League of Legends, I styled the wig starting from a simple black base, using lots of teasing and hairspray.
I 3D-modeled and printed her kunai with a filament printer, then sanded, primed and painted in black.
The outfit was made by customizing and adapting sporty clothes I already owned.
