india’s greatest pop-culture event!
Name: Apurva Surendra Raut
Location: Hinganghat, Wardha District, Maharashtra
Profession: Medical Student
Passions: Pop culture, gaming, art, crafting, and cosplay
About Me: I'm a medical student with a deep love for creativity. Cosplay helps me stay connected to my artistic side. I started gaming during the lockdown, and League of Legends became my favorite. Among its many characters, I chose Lunar Eclipse Leona for her strength, presence, and role as a magical frontline tank.
Cosplay Details: I built the entire costume using EVA foam. Patterns were made with Pepakura, assembled using Fevibond, and shaped with a Dremel. I primed with Fevicol, spray-painted the metallics, and hand-painted gradients with acrylics. LEDs, velcro, and elastic were used for functionality. The wig was styled at home.
