#ad The last part of Major Rusalka’s costume was certainly the most difficult. For her robotic arm, we used 5 servo motors on a custom palm plate. The idea was to have an idle animation to have the hand look alive while also having a few poses controlled by buttons within the forearm. @HDC did the bulk of the electronics work for this part of the project. We utilized Bottango software to set the joint angles as well as positions of the poses, spending countless hours tweaking the code, fixing motors, joints, and screws in the hand itself, and mounting the custom printed parts to the core. My hand fits within the forearm prints where there are 5 buttons: 1 to power on/off the lights, 1 for the servos, and then 3 for poses. A 12v rechargeable battery plugs into the unit and is hidden within the forearm. Would we do it this way again? Unsure. But we’re really pleased with the results and we can’t wait to show you in person at TennoCon this month!

#ad Rusalka’s jacket is such a cool mix of military and modern style, so finding a way to translate her design into a real life fabrication was an interesting process! I worked long and hard ordering several fabric swatches to find the right shade of ‘kiwi’ green canvas. The key to making the fabric believable is the weathering, so you’ll find lots of sepia airbrushing throughout this project. Everything is custom patterned, all the way down to the shoes. @Sayakat Cosplay constructed her pants, and I spent time airbrushing those with sepia tones as well to bring everything together. We’ve still got some major (pun intended) pieces to show you on this costume, but TennoCon is right around the corner!!! Will we see you there?

#ad It’s time to finally share some of the progress on Major Neci Rusalka 🦾. One of the most iconic parts of her costume is the Efervon sling bag, and its construction was a challenge! Selecting the right materials was of utmost importance for this piece to get the right effects. The bags themselves have bubbling Efervon within, so I needed to mimic that with fluorescent yellow/green vinyl filled with diffusing material over LED arrays. We are still working hard on the coding for the lights themselves, but you can see what the progress is like so far! The construction of the overall piece itself is nearly complete, so now it’s fine tuning it to prepare for her full reveal at TennoCon in July.

#ad "Isn't it time for a new story?" We’re at TennoCon with Major Neci Rusalka and Albrecht Entrati! We'll be judging the cosplay contest and you can even get your photo with us on Saturday of the con at the cosplay photo op area. Rusalka brings me so much joy -- she's the perfect mix of femininity, rage, cool mech parts, and of course I love her interactions with Albrecht Entrati. I can't wait to see you all this weekend at TennoCon!!! Let’s party like it’s 1999 😏 #sponsored #warframe #tennocon #tennocon2025 #warframecosplay #rusalka @warframe

#ad We all know I love a good mask, and Rusalka’s is one-of-a-kind! This is a custom print pulled right out of the game and printed at @HDC in Chicago. The alumaluster paint finish is my favorite part, for sure. I wanted to continue with adding lighting where possible, so the features of the mask with lighting were printed in transparent filament and airbrushed in-house with a custom paint to match the yellow-green hue of the Efervon bags. The hat is based on a military cap pattern and customized for Rusalka’s unique hat design. I actually sewed the cap onto the wig so that there won’t be a risk of it falling! The mask is held onto my face with two magnetic snaps sewn into the wig and a little bit of Topstick on my nose to keep it in place. We’re still missing a major part of the process for my last video to share…can you guess what it is?

#ad I can be your father. Your lover. Your friend. I can give the dead back their voice. All you have to do… is ask." She's finally here, and I couldn't be more proud of the result! Huge thanks to those on my team who brought her to life with me: - Beardless.props took the in-game assets and molded and reformed them to fit my body for 3d printed parts including the mech arm and all the little buckles and doodads - @HDC took my modified servo hand base and worked diligently on the coding and fabrication of the arm itself before sending it my way to join the rest of the costume - @Sayakat Cosplay fabricated the pants and wig, which I was then able to upgrade with weathering, airbrushing, and of course the sewn on custom hat - @Alexandra Brumley trekked out to an abandoned amusement park with me and Sayakat to film and photograph this costume in this cool scenery before editing everything for the final shots. She'll also be the official photographer at the con, so you'll see her around! With all of these pieces, I was able to truly focus on the custom patterns, fabrication, weathering, detailing and more to make Rusalka as true-to-life as possible. I feel like I stepped out of the video game! We couldn’t be more thankful for another year with @warframe and having the opportunity to continue making art for this convention. I have videos and BTS coming up, so stay tuned for so much more of Major! #sponsored #warframe #tennocon #tennocon2025 #warframecosplay #rusalka

Fun fact: Rusalka’s bot arm is much longer than her other arm. It’s why I don’t have the hand fitted over my hand. Technically the natural hand lays within the forearm in terms of sizing! #warframe #tennocon

Yeah, I’m a sucker. Working on Wisp protoframe from @warframe 😍 #warframe #wisp

We have been honored to work alongside @warframe for the past 3 years and wanted to give the gift of Squad Energy Restore to some of the folks who have played a pivotal role in making that possible. This is a collab effort with Beardless.Props who has come along on these crazy projects with me. Thank you again to the team at Digital Extremes for taking a chance on a little creator like me and letting me grow into the Dommy mommy we all know today 😅❤️ #warframe #tennocon

Our full video reveal comes out Wednesday, so here’s some BTS with @Alexandra Brumley ! Thanks to @Sayakat Cosplay for being our handler and extra videographer on this one ☝️ @warframe #warframe #rusalka
