The classic.

Actually we also happen to be great at body paint and mounting shit through wigs.

To OP: I would personally make a sort of shoulder piece and attach the cape-thing to it so that when you are standing still it can drape around you if you want to go with the cape version. I am unsure about the cloak and especially its design, the golden thingies seem to wrap around the characters hips and then there is the blue gem (?) which would logically be placed on the chest but looks to be sitting closer to his abdomen at the sprite. I would personally make it a part of the shoulder piece.

The cloak itself I would suggest doing with a high and stiff collar, and those puffy shoulders anon above suggested. I would also make rather stiff and wide cuffs to make it heavy.
The wig is important, especially how it flows backwards and has a lot of volume. I would suggest making a fake widows peak/use a lace front to get that pushed back look.

For horns: yaexrae (pic related) has a good tutorial on them. Mount them with screws on a headband/snaps through the wig. If you cannot wear the mounting under the wig make sure to style it around the headband.
Mask (I think it is a mask) - There are a bunch of techniques, use some sort of pink netting or opaque pink plastic (preferably a bit dim to hide your eyes better) for the eyes, I wold also suggest making it rather toony as making a skeleton mask and make it look good is hard.

As a final touch it is also recommended that you use some body paint to make yourself look more outlandish and clash less against the colours and the mask, some sort of greyer flesh tone probably.

All of the god tier BNFs together in one ancestor group.

Since the thread has devolved into BNF/wannabee-BNF hate, let's bring some quality back here. Post your favorite BNF cosplay.

Starting out with classic Yaexrae. The greens are off IMO she's still the best Dolorosa.

Hahaha. Being trans I must say that I'd really rather see an attitude change. Because really, live and let live.

Hey cgl! I don't really post here all that often, so I apologize for anything dumb sounding. I plan on cosplaying the Dolorosa soon, I am experienced with sewing however I am inexperienced with dying fabric. I am having difficulty finding green and black striped fabric so I was going to just get black and white striped fabric and dye it green, but I want to use a heavy weight knit for the skirt. I have heard stretchy materials don't dye well, so do you have any recommendations to get this to dye as well as possible, or should I consider using something non-stretchy?

Yaexrae.

No, this is Yaexrae. You can always tell Yaexrae by her porous horns.

Anyone have any good ancestors that aren't that one large group from Otakon this year?
