The Wicked + The Divine
The Wicked and The Divine
I started reading the Wicked and the Divine in February - shortly before I ended up home alone for a long weekend in 2016 while many of my friends were at Katsucon... so I thought it would be fun to closet-cosplay as much of the Pantheon as I could only using what I had on hand. While I wish I could have managed a couple more, I'm pretty happy with the results for Lucifer, Amaterasu, and Badb.
I ended up liking Luci and Ammy so much that I put a little more work into making actual costumes and wore them to some events!

Amaterasu
Everyone loves Ammy, though I'm not sure if it's for her personality or her distinctive look!
Unsurprisingly, Ammy is mostly about the makeup. I use Wolfe Hydrocolors for all the colourful stuff, and do it by hand each time (it takes about an hour and a half, ugh). The wig is borrowed from my Wendy Corduroy costume and the "dress" is a matching top and skirt which I purchased.
In 2016 had picked up a sizable amount of delicate silver chain and jump rings to make her web-like necklace, and attached it to the neckline of the shirt, but sadly the necklace ended up basically disappearing, so I later replaced it with an in-character super blingy piece that I bought. My (also too-subtle) hand chain was purchased to match my first necklace, and I made the tiara/headband out of the leftover chain and assorted bits and pieces from my stash.

Lucifer
Even though Amaterasu is a better and more appreciated costume, I have to admit that I feel much more suited to Luci.
What can I say about this costume? The shirt is from one of my Pepper Potts costumes, pants were purchased, and necklace is from my collection. Add red contacts from my Midna costumes, makeup, and hair streak: here we are. Luci.
Oh, and can't forget that party-store fake cig.

This one never got past the closet cosplay/makeup test phase, but was still fun to play with.
