How I made my Sciel’s Charnon Scythe for my cosplay



This is a step-by-step tutorial showing how I made the Charnon Scythe for my Sciel cosplay.

I chose to print the 3D model created by 3Demon . It is a high-quality model with lots of details, and it comes with assembly instructions.

Once printed, I sanded each piece first with 80-grit sandpaper, then with 120-grit. It’s a long process, so make sure to have some good music playing to make it easier!

I added a metal rod inside the main structure, as recommended by 3Demon, to make the scythe stronger and more stable.

I used small wooden dowels to align and reinforce the connections between the different parts before gluing everything together.

I followed the technique shared by DD3D to hide the seams between printed parts. You can find the Reel on their Instagram account!

Everything is now assembled and ready for the painting process!

First, I applied MOTIP Spray Putty to fill small imperfections. Once dry, I sanded it with fine-grit sandpaper (around 250 grit) to smooth the surface.

Then, I applied MOTIP Black Filler to create a base for painting.

SAFETY FIRST: Always wear a protective mask and safety goggles, and make sure to do this step outdoors in a well-ventilated area!

I applied gold wax with a microfiber cloth. You can experiment with different techniques depending on the finish you want: dabbing or blending. The key is to build up the paint gradually and create a subtle texture.

Using a small amount of paint, I added the finer details with a brush.

I applied a protective varnish to seal the paint and make the scythe more durable.

Et voilà!

When did we decide that growing up meant taking life more seriously?

As we become adults, we take on more responsibilities. And creativity isn’t always seen as something mature.

So we focus on what we’re supposed to do.

Little by little, we forget to make time for the things we love. Maybe because we’re afraid of being judged for doing something just for fun.

But there’s something beautiful about allowing ourselves to create, play, experiment, and let go of what others might think.

I’m lucky to have a sister who’s always been by my side, whether we’re bringing the simplest ideas to life or diving into our craziest creative projects. We’ve been creating together since we were little, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Over time, I’ve learned that growing up doesn’t mean leaving those parts of ourselves behind. It means learning to embrace them, without feeling the need to justify them.

This game was healing for me.

I discovered Expedition 33 for the first time last year, after a tragic event in my family. I lost someone I loved so much, someone who was far too young to leave this world. ❤️‍🩹

I was looking for answers to a question that had none. What I didn’t know at the time was that sometimes, all we can do is learn to accept what we cannot change.

While playing E33, I went through so many different emotions. It was hard, but it was exactly what I needed. I needed to cry, to be angry, to feel desperate. And this story helped me through that process.

For me, art isn’t just about beauty or technical skills. It’s about feelings and how you react to them. It’s about the connections we create with other people, and I think Expedition 33 is a beautiful example of that.

My Sciel cosplay is finally finished, and I’m so happy to have reached this goal! 🖤

It’s been an intense journey that started back in August. I wanted to challenge myself with something more ambitious, and it definitely was!

Sophie and Cléa were the perfect characters to bring me back to cosplay after a long break. But this time, I also wanted to take on a more technically challenging project to learn new things and improve my skills.

I won’t lie to you: it was difficult, and I went through a lot of different emotions along the way. But I’m proud that I managed to find solutions at every step and, most importantly, that I didn’t give up when things got difficult.

Sciel is a very special character to me, and I’ll tell you why later ❤️‍🩹🕊️☀️. But first, let’s finish the makeup process so we can get to the final reveal!

I’ve really enjoyed sharing this journey with you and having your support along the way.

Some of you even shared advice and tips, which I really appreciate! I’ll definitely be trying some of your suggestions in my next cosplays.

Who takes care of Clea?

Clea takes action when no one else does. She makes decisions, moves things forward, even when others disagree.

Perhaps it’s easier for her to focus on what needs to be done than on what she truly feels.

Behind her strength and determination, I sense a deep loneliness.

We often assume that people who seem strong don’t need anyone. But even those who carry everyone else need someone to lean on.

So, who takes care of Clea? ❤️‍🩹

I’m excited to share this first set of photos from our lastest photoshoot in Paris.

Kokleng photograp did such an amazing job capturing the atmosphere I had imagined for Clea.

The Parisian covered passages have something very special. They feel vintage, elegant and almost frozen in time, and I thought they would be the perfect setting for this cosplay.

We woke up very early on a Saturday morning to have the place mostly to ourselves and catch this beautiful early morning light.

And then I started wondering: What if Clea left the manor and go outside ?

I imagine she would go out on her own, keeping to herself, observing her surroundings and taking some time to think about what she wants to do next.

She’s strong, very independent, and seems to believe that she doesn’t need anyone. Maybe keeping her distance is also a way for her to stay in control, and avoid being disappointed by others… 🖤
