The character and the costume
I started playing Elsword in 2012, and Rena quickly became my favorite character thanks to my love for elves and archery. The Salvatore Denif (Water Master) set immediately caught my attention, making this Rena cosplay a must-do project. It was one of my most challenging costumes for me in that time, both for the intricate anti-gravity skirt and the big bow build.

Rena cosplay Tutorial
This is an handmade costume, created by me in 2013!
The skirt features over 200 hand-crafted scales, each made by covering shaped foam pieces on both sides. Its anti-gravity structure is supported by a rigid internal frame that keeps the shape open and stable.
The armor is crafted from PVC, while all the gems were created using silicone molds and resin casting for a polished, translucent finish (with a LED inside).
The bow, standing at 150 cm, combines wood, polystyrene, resin, forex, and foam, making it both detailed and sturdy!
