First, videos, I has them. I just posted some Killing Floor videos and Killing Floor 2 is about to come out. I am so ridiculously excited for zombie destruction. I hope you are, too; so check out my vids if you so please. Alas I will not provide a link to the Killing Floor 2 trailer or stuff about it. I really want to go into that game blind for maximum terror.
Killing Floor madness :-)

Part 2
Second, and I guess last, cosplay photos! So this year at bout Emerald City Comicon and Sakura-Con I went as a Harley Quinn OC and as a Ninja. Yes these are different than my original plans - had some re-organizations at the last second. I actually had a third costume (with a photoshoot, too!), but I haven't received those photos yet so you'll have to wait, sorry. So here is some background for each of the other characters.
Harley Quinn
I actually had an idea for Miss Quinn for quite a while, but I'm not the best artist so I couldn't draw it out to see what it would look like beforehand and I didn't want to do the character an injustice (no pun intended). So I was hunting around online for general cosplay references, as was my partner, and all of a sudden he sends me this.

All glory and kudos to the wonderful artist of these pieces, Helen Chen. I've no idea who or where she is, but she is awesome. This is exactly what had been floating around in my head, "like to the T". So I set to work with some sketches and notes:
As you can see, very rough, but hey it works. And I ended up with this:
Alas my bright blue contacts did not come in until after I had worn it, which was sad (it went to NY, to MA, to PA, back to NY, and then here, how does that work?). And you can see my hammer :-) I actually have a lot of progress pics for this one (yay!), but way too many to post here. I will post them to my FB (link is on the right of this page!) shortly though so you can check them out there.
Now, NINJA!
So we initially had a different plan for this one, BUT we had some changes and just couldn't do the original plan. So after a few days of brainstorming my SO looks over at me and goes " . . . Ninjas, steampunk ninjas." And that was that. So I made some rough sketches:

(If you look closely, my friend decided to leave a message in pencil on the page. No clue what it means.)
And ended up with this:
We are very proud of these costumes. The idea was SO's, actually fleshing out the pieces was both of us, and I did the bulk of the sewing (simply because, at this point, I am much quicker than he is). There were actually some additional ideas for designs and such and I had another weapon, but time and such so oh well. But you can view the rest of the pics on the FB page :-)
That's all for now. Have a fantastic day! Oh and watch Daredevil . . . go . . . watch it
