Sexy Sangheili Cosplay
April 11, 2009 18 Comments
When someone mentions The Arbiter, a familiar picture of a quadruple-hinged jawed, leathery-skinned, muscular Sangheili with a thick torso and digitigrade legs probably comes to mind. Sailor-Destiny, who also cosplays as Cortana, decided to switch things up just a bit this year for Supanova Brisbane (an Australian pop culture fan convention). Her version of a Thel ‘Vadam costume took her approximately five months to complete and features armor crafted from fiberglass with an almost flesh-colored suit underneath. After carefully studying the full length picture waiting for you after the jump, I couldn’t help but come to the conclusion that the straps holding up the leg armor closely resemble garters. Damn if that Arbiter doesn’t look downright sexy, disgusting four mandible-like lips and all.

The human fleshy skin is a shame the rest is impressive though!
I really hope that’s not a camel-toe I spy.
LOL, … I actually used the magnification function of my mouse after reading your comment. Best use of that feature ever!
is it just me or do i spy with my whispering eye…she is undergarmentless? maybe thats how it is down unda….ha ha ha ha ha <-thats comedy gold!
5 months…..
crikey – I’d stick to Cortana
Meh… seems a bit sloppy for 5 months. Still cool though!
I almost tried to be a Senghelli for Halloween but Decided not too. Didn’t want to lose leg function.
Lol….wow….
:D
I like the plasma rifle in her Cortana picture.
EDIT: DERP DERP she’s holding a plasma rifle in this one.
Just think about what he could do for you with that mouth angel.
Just saying.
It seems to me the ODST didn’t use enough smoother…You can still see the pepakura fold lines.
He’s also carrying a NERF maverick…srsly?
Green Spartan: DAMNIT! DON’T LOOK AT THE CODPIECE!!!!
Black Spartan: Please Stop…
Arby: What the hell are you two doing!?!?!
O.M.G. Here is the proof that the Arbiter is really a girl.
Its pritty good, seems a bit rushed but hey, they made a freaking arbie costume!
:D
Oh yea, BS, have you seen Sean Bradley’s version he had a D*con? working jaws and everything! O_o I can’t for the life of me find the goram links though! :(
@ Flying Squirrel: The link is found in my signature at the 405th, but there also a good feature story in the March issue of The Source.
It’s nice to have more company these days. I know of 2 more arbiter builds that are going on in addition me redesigning my costume for D*C ’09.
Someone needs to do some of the other elite characters too! We can’t all be Arbiters!
This one would look much better with a proper foam bodysuit and undersuit. Still, nice work!
Hehe all the 405thers crawl out of their garages to peek *waves to above fellow 405thers* Looks good enough to me, I do agree with Sean though, we need some more elite characters than just Arbie :) Incredible detail on this head from what I can see in the pics :)

Dear god. I hate to say it, but for 5 months, that looks TERRIBLE. And hardly “sexy”. The armor isn’t even believable, fiberglass or not the shapes are too flat.
It’s like she spent 4 of those months on the head, and then the last month decided “Meh, fuck it, I’m tired of this so let me finish quick.”
