Mollymauk tealeaf -
Critical Role (2018)

Critical Role is a Dungeons and Dragons live play web series. The character Mollymauk Tealeaf is one of my favorites from the show. I wanted to design my own version of his coat with references to the other characters in the show as well as my own friends that have made this show so special to me. There are also references to tarot, Dungeons and Dragons, and the game that inspired Mollymauk's character class. The base of the coat is chenille and lined with a silk jacquard. The coat took a total of 386 hours, 288 of which are embroidery alone. The bodysuit was made from an altered pattern from Sew/Cut and a dyed stretch fabric. The tattoos are done with fabric markers by Rachel Schulz (@chachdraws). The scars are a flexible fabric paint. I used eyeshadow to shade in the details. The nails are press on nails painted with nail polished and attached with nail glue. The wig was previously a medium, long blonde wig. I dyed it using a synthetic liquid dye. I then cut it to the desired length. I removed a few wefts from the back to move the hairline to the side, rather than the middle with bangs. The tail is made out of two EVA foam dowel rods, 10mm EVA foam cut into a spade, fabric from the bodysuit, and a clasp to hook it to my belt loop. I also covered the seam at the base of the spade with a strip of painted 2mm EVA foam with some lace glued to it. The base of the horns are from Amazon, but have been repainted and the horn jewelry is a mix of molded EVA foam clay and purchased pieces to be sewn on. The sword model was purchased from Dangerous Ladies and 3D printed by a friend. I then sanded, primed, and painted the sword.
