Chaos is Coming - Sci Fi Cosplay
Pietas, from the Bringer of Chaos series - as close to live as a character can get - at a cosplay live on Instagram the weekend of Nov 22/23. I'm calling it the Chaos is Coming Sci Fi Cosplay.
Nik Nitsvetov has finished the costume and weapons. His work with foam, glue, and paint is nothing short of magic. Wait till you see the final costume! I'll be sharing pictures over the weeks leading up to the cosplay.
Nik lives in Russia, 7 hours ahead of us, so when it's 4pm here, it's 11pm there. Best way to know the time? Try Time.is I've linked this to show Moscow time, which where Nik will do the new Chaos cosplay.
A word about the uniform -- that banner showing the combat uniform was the prototype for Nik to use as a launchpad. I commissioned the uniform from Nano-Core, who also designed the weapons. Everything about this cosplay will be one of a kind, including the character.

I’m envious! I love detailed cosplay, and sad I rarely have time for it anymore. 🙂
I wish I could be there to see it happening while it’s happening. But maybe just as well. I might have a heart attack watching “Pietas” actually walk around 🙂
Sounds like an exciting event!

Thank you, Dee. I appreciate the share!
This cosplay is an interesting play. The costume looks fabulous.
So cool to see the character brought to life.
thanks Janet. The costume is finished. I’ll be showing more pieces of it soon.
First time we did this, all I kept saying while watching was Oh my god. LOL
What an amazing opportunity.
It sure is. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. Especially since Nik looks exactly the way I imagine Pietas.
I just hope Nik doesn’t have to do too much walking in those shoes of his!
Cosplay certainly brings out the kid in us, but with an adult demand for perfection. The best cosplay I’ve seen was at GenCon in Indianapolis. Some really amazing costumes there–as well as some very poor attempts. Those who really get into this spend a lot of time, money, and effort on creating their costumes.
Ed, they look pretty weird, but I bet he made them useful. I doubt he’ll wear them to work! 🙂
Holly, that’s a good way to put. Kid fun, adult perfection.
That is amazing! I can’t imagine how it would feel to see a character you created come to life.
It’s truly a bizarre experience. My first glimpse of him when it went live was pure shock. But one funny moment was when Nik needed a lighter to light the candle they were going to use, and he had to call the site’s front desk. So I got to see Pietas using a modern telephone. ^_^
