Melissa Ng is the creator of this outfit, which is called “Sovereign Armour”, the result of a quest to “create a practical and versatile Medieval-inspired fantasy armour for a woman.”

Ng says it took over 500 hours to build the suit, most of which is 3D-printed and which weighs around eight pounds, with that time being split between research, sketching, modelling, painting and, most excruciating of all, the wiring and placement of all the LEDs that help give the suit its warm, glowing effect.

While she isn’t strictly a cosplayer, Ng says that the research she put into creating this piece of fantasy armour is something she’d love to see more of from the cosplay scene.

“I also know I’ve only recently started familiarising myself with the cosplay community”, she writes. “But after studying up a bit on armour, it got me wondering how awesome it could be to see more cosplayers transform some of their favourite female character’s (impractical) armour designs into something more functional.”

It’s an absolutely astonishing piece of work, which needs to be seen in all its detail to be truly appreciated. The gauntlets in particular are just incredible.
