The more Adam is impressed the more animated he becomes, the highest level of his admiration involves him cupping his face. Boy did she nail it with that costume. Fantastic.
Someone who is this talented at DIY costume replicating should really be hired to work on film production. The talent... it's like someone who found their calling.
Film industry sucks.. shed need to confirm every creative decision with 20 people and wait for a response before being able to put any of her ideas into motion that lead to this amazing costume 🤮👎 I'll never understand why when seeing a successful creator people say "tHeY shOulD giVE uP all ThAT cREatiVe fREEdOM aNd wOrK fOr SoMEoNe ElSe"
Adam always gets the best guests to appear on this channel, and then he does an amazing job interviewing them and helping them to show off their work to their best. Thank you Adam, for introducing us to another wonderful creation from a wonderful creator, and letting us see a bit of the magic behind the wings!
I love how excited Adam is looking at all the details even with his experience, this is what makes me keep coming back. He is genuine in celebrating skilled makers all around him.
First, that is an absolutely amazing cosplay, she should be so proud of it. Second, thank you for shining a light on talented people in the community. Your genuine interest and enthusiasm are so infectious.
I hope they make a season 2. The art direction of that series alone makes it well worth a watch. Very creative, otherworldly but also grounded. She did an amazing job recreating that costume, looks 100% like what it looked like on screen 👌🏻
Haven't been to conventions in many years. Just an hour ago was saying how the thing I miss most is seeing the cosplays and then see this! Thank you for sharing, it is beautiful work and a delight to see! =D
Im amazed by the structure of the wings staying put so nicely. I used armature wire to build my kids nine tailed fox costume, and I struggled getting them to stay up. I probably needed thicker wire, but Id love to see detail on how the wings attach to the body. Im sure the corset helps a lot with the structure.
I've been following her on Instagram for a good while now, so happy to see her get the exposure she deserves! I'm a woodworker but I love watching people make things of any kind. Appreciate you bringing her on and shining a spotlight on her!
Clicked for the black and shiny, stayed for the craftsmanship. Amazing work! By the way: the achilles heel of most cosplays is a distracting cheap wig that makes everything else fall apart. But this wig looks true to the character on Sandman.
That cosplay is amazing! The wings are phenomenal, I just want to flap them. The hair here is imo even better than the original, as this hair implies horns in a way that the original just doesn't.
Adam is amazing. He's been in the industry for decades, but still finds joy in how other people make things, and praise them for their skills. Many people are blasé after a few years, and don't have the time for other people's skills. It's a joy to watch, and must be encouraging for the builders he meets.
This version of the character is indeed my fave too, as it has this commanding, elegant and regal presence to it, can't wait for the Season 2 exploring more on her too!! 🥹
That is absolutely Incredible! It is perfect in every way! I would have loved to see all around (front, back, top, bottom) - such a masterpiece! Sandman was such an awesome show and she just NAILED Lucifer's outfit! WOW!
This video just popped up after I watched the last one... What a gorgeous outfit! It would be so even without the wings. I've loved the gothic / alternative fashions for 18 years now. Coming up with an idea of making the wings animatronic using Bowden cables or something similar, with drive on the back and wheels in the joints to make the wings expand or retract.
Lovely costume from a great series! I too was waiting for the attachment point reveal on her back, but no magician reveals all their secrets. Thank you, Beverly, for creating it and to Adam for bringing it to us. Now we just need to see the black & white versions together!
I'm always happy to see Adam get so excited around other people's costumes and props and such, but I have to wonder if they talk about what he's allowed to touch beforehand? Adam seems to be very hands on when it comes to things he's excited about, and I just hope he's not invading anybody's boundaries of comfort when doing so. I mean, can't blame him, he's around some of the coolest stuff there is, and he's a very hands on person in every aspect of his life it seems.
I so get the "procratinating" on a project like this. On a recent Laura Kampf video though I saw someone drop the term "Procrati-making" and my god does that fit! So from now on, I'll be using Procrastimaking when I'm stalling a hard job by perfecting something I'm working on.
super inspiring, dang i could not help but smile ear to ear the whole vod. Thanks so much for sharing !! dang edit hit the button to fast, by the way the small detail, tiny detail means the most. the things only people that build would see.. thats the joy. hidden in plain sight.
I think at the end there he wanted to ask about the button/clasp in the middle but then quickly realized it might be a bit creepy to focus on that. Then cue the awkward crossed arms.
Holy moly, that's absolutely gorgeous. I mean, the whole costume is amazing and I love the jacket (and the attention of detail) but I was really surprised to know that the wings were made with EVA foam. Maybe it's the resolution of the video, but they looked leather to me! It has that same sheen that actual leather has. AND... I have to say this, what a beautiful woman. Just stunning.
So, I watched the show Lucifer before I watched the Sandman. I loved both shows, but that meant when I saw Gwendolyn Christie as Lucifer in the Sandman, I was a bit surprised and taken aback. In the end, I think Gwendolyn really nailed that period for the character, and I was very impressed by her costumes. And I think they are completely and totally nailed here! Albeit perhaps on a slightly smaller scale, because I think Gwendolyn is a bit taller.... I think I found a new channel to subscribe to! Thanks for the tip, Adam!
@2:20 _"A velvety touch, they were kinda papery"_ Going out on a limb here, but I guess she's actually talking about Tyvek (a brand name from DuPont) which is a polyethylene non-woven fabric. (Flashspun HDPE in fact.)
Don't trust her, Adam. And make sure to do an inventory check of your helmets in the workshop, after she disappeared in a puff of Sulphur smoke. (Honestly, she is amazing!)

Boy did she nail it with that costume. Fantastic.
I had to go back and look at other videos, you're absolutely right, hands-to-face is the highest accolade you can get from Adam!

She is a very hot lucifer

Chris Bartlett needs to get on there.
Don't simp
Adam simpin way to hard for these cosplayers....
why is it that seeing adam geek out over someone else's work brings me joy?
It’s terrific to see two people talking and connecting over something they’re both passionate and knowledgeable about.
I really enjoy these real person guests he has on, Adam makes everything feel so reachable by us mortals.
I love how excited Adam is looking at all the details even with his experience, this is what makes me keep coming back. He is genuine in celebrating skilled makers all around him.
What I love is that it is clear that amazing work is an iterative process with mistakes along the way. It is rarely perfect the first time.❤
First, that is an absolutely amazing cosplay, she should be so proud of it.

They are making more episodes, just not calling them "seasons".
It's not nearly as creative as the comics, a clear downgrade
@@tehdouglas1 I thought they were very accurate to the comics, especially with Gaiman heavily involved in all of the creative decisions.
Honestly, some cosplay creators are artists in their own right. Amazing ingenuity!

A really great show !!! What an amazing job she did !!!
Amazing work Beverly!
Thank you! It was SO FUN to chat with him about this costume build!
@@DownenCreativeStudios THIS IS SO COOL! I absolutely love how you did the wings! I just finished my first costume/cosplay ever 3 days ago
@@ike789125 That's awesome! Welcome to the obsession! :)
Anyone else screaming at the screen for her to turn around so we could see the back of the costume?? Amazing work. ❤❤❤
Yes!
Beverley Downen is an incredible talent. I love these videos exploring her amazing work! 😀👏
I absolutely loved this interaction. And how excited they both are about all the little details!
I've been following her on Instagram for a good while now, so happy to see her get the exposure she deserves! I'm a woodworker but I love watching people make things of any kind. Appreciate you bringing her on and shining a spotlight on her!
Having Adam swoon over your costrume and build process must be one of the greatest rewards for any cosplayer
I watched the battle scene between Lucifer and the Sandman again, and I gotta say she nailed that costume. Amazing work.
Clicked for the black and shiny, stayed for the craftsmanship. Amazing work! By the way: the achilles heel of most cosplays is a distracting cheap wig that makes everything else fall apart. But this wig looks true to the character on Sandman.
I love this guest. She’s charming and super talented. I wish I was so into anything to this level. It’s amazing.
This woman needs to sing "Suddenly Seymour" in that exact outfit. Love!
Fantastic job, Beverly! I loved watching the build from start to finish!
So very special to debut a costume on Adam's channel. You honor us, Lucifer Morningstar.
What a fantastic build, no doubt a lot of hard work. Well done.
That was one of my favorite Lucifer depictions in a while.
The wow when the action figure reference came out. Love it. This person is so talented!
That cosplay is amazing!
The wings are phenomenal, I just want to flap them.
The hair here is imo even better than the original, as this hair implies horns in a way that the original just doesn't.
That was just wow moment after wow moment! Massive bravo to Beverly!
Adam, you were struggling to keep your hands to yourself. It was adorable. The hands in the armpits is his tell.
I came for the stillsuit but I stayed for this incredible piece of work. Those wings are absolutely incredible.
Adam is amazing. He's been in the industry for decades, but still finds joy in how other people make things, and praise them for their skills. Many people are blasé after a few years, and don't have the time for other people's skills. It's a joy to watch, and must be encouraging for the builders he meets.
Absolutely mind blowing costume!
This version of the character is indeed my fave too, as it has this commanding, elegant and regal presence to it, can't wait for the Season 2 exploring more on her too!! 🥹
Incredible work as always Beverly!!!
While not free, the tyvek painters coverall "bunny" suits you can buy at home depot are a great source for that type of mock up fabric.
That is absolutely Incredible! It is perfect in every way! I would have loved to see all around (front, back, top, bottom) - such a masterpiece! Sandman was such an awesome show and she just NAILED Lucifer's outfit! WOW!
This video just popped up after I watched the last one... What a gorgeous outfit! It would be so even without the wings. I've loved the gothic / alternative fashions for 18 years now.

I just got back from a Lucifer (TV) this past weekend in NJ! Beautiful work!
What a fetching costume ❤ Travel friendly with wings? Sure looks like magic to me 😊
Great wings! Sadly, we never get to see the reverse side … even with me yelling at the video “turn around”! 😊
I love that she followed nature's design for a bat wing and was inspired by it. She looks so proud of it, and with good reason!
So brilliant! Agree 100% that rotary cutters are amazing. Thank you!!!
Lovely costume from a great series! I too was waiting for the attachment point reveal on her back, but no magician reveals all their secrets. Thank you, Beverly, for creating it and to Adam for bringing it to us.
Now we just need to see the black & white versions together!
So cool! Loved seeing this come together over on IG.
Absolutely amazing cosplay job! Show real talent in every aspect of it. You can see Adam agrees :)
I'm always happy to see Adam get so excited around other people's costumes and props and such, but I have to wonder if they talk about what he's allowed to touch beforehand?

Wings are amazing!
Such a treat to see my friend Beverly on Tested. Amazing work as always!
THAT is an impressive build! Outstanding!
Gorgeous work, Beverly!! 🦇
Wow! Absolutely beautiful ❤

Wow what a cosplay. Loved it.
looks very good. I didn't think I would end up liking The Sandman as much as I did
Do hope she got to see some of Adam's suits too and how detailed those are :)
Fabulous costume. I would have loved to see the elbow and knuckles detail she kept referring to.
It's Amazing, but I wish we'd been shown the back view! Seriously very gorgeous!
Fitting support for wings of that size in a costume that sheer is a feat of engineering! Dragon approved.
My mom and aunts who quilt really love their rotary cutters, especially for long cuts with a straight edge, it's just easier.
so cool i love the wings
Amazingly skilled artist!
Hire this great artist! F-ing Awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻 Well done!
It would be so cool if you could make the wings open out and close at will, and make them sorta pulse when at rest.
So killer! Looks amazing!
Well done Beverly!😀
I am amazed! Wow.
I really want to see a full 360° turn of the custom.
super inspiring, dang i could not help but smile ear to ear the whole vod. Thanks so much for sharing !! dang edit hit the button to fast, by the way the small detail, tiny detail means the most. the things only people that build would see.. thats the joy. hidden in plain sight.
I think I'm in love. Unbelievable job on the whole costume. 👍
Amazing work, so well done!
I loved everything about this video.
Amazing work!
Stunning & amazing! Great job!
That's so sick 🤘🖤
Every time I see a costume with well-crafted wings, I wonder how they would look for an Archangel [X-Men] cosplay. Her crafting skills are amazing!!!
I can't wait to see the con pics that come from this
Looks great. The wings look as though they’re permanently poised to open up.
That jacket is very cool, once she is done showing the whole custome, I think she can use it for other ocations.
Just amazing work
I think at the end there he wanted to ask about the button/clasp in the middle but then quickly realized it might be a bit creepy to focus on that. Then cue the awkward crossed arms.
Holy moly, that's absolutely gorgeous. I mean, the whole costume is amazing and I love the jacket (and the attention of detail) but I was really surprised to know that the wings were made with EVA foam. Maybe it's the resolution of the video, but they looked leather to me! It has that same sheen that actual leather has.
AND... I have to say this, what a beautiful woman. Just stunning.

I think I found a new channel to subscribe to! Thanks for the tip, Adam!
Beverly is the best!!!
@2:20 _"A velvety touch, they were kinda papery"_
Going out on a limb here, but I guess she's actually talking about Tyvek (a brand name from DuPont) which is a polyethylene non-woven fabric. (Flashspun HDPE in fact.)
awesome talent!
The wings move very...... Organically (?)... They really look like they're a part of her body when she moves.... Well Done! 😁👍
Impressive costume, I would have made less wide shoulders, but the wings... Please also show us a build vid about making those.
That's an amazing outfit!
Brilliant video .
Nerdgasmn!
The bright blonde hair and all black outfit: EPIC contrast!
So great!
Thanks very much Mr. Savage! After my girlfriend had seen this video "I Am In Deep Trouble!". She makes me buy her such a cosplay costume since then.
It's a fantastic costume.
Very cool!
Don't trust her, Adam.
And make sure to do an inventory check of your helmets in the workshop, after she disappeared in a puff of Sulphur smoke.
(Honestly, she is amazing!)
This is great. I have built many winged costumes including a Goliath gargoyle that's 7 feet wide.
