First, I am a a cosplayer. I received my first sewing machien when I was eleven years old and . . . had very little interest in it - Grandma was not pleased. But I have rediscovered my sewing abilities and now have a ton of fun altering patterns to suit some rather creative cosplays. It is one of the most exciting and satisfying things to create a cosplay from in-my-head-thought to "OMG, you look just like__(insert awesome character name here)__!" My works (thus far) include Rochelle (L4D2), Storm, Glados, Princess Tiana, and Mad Moxxi. I have a few more coming up, which I will be posting about as I work on them - they are still in the ideas/sketching phase at the moment! I also make a most convincing flying squirrel.
I also love video games. I can sit down, start a game, then woot-woot it's five hours later. Where did the time go? Heck if I know, I was busy being lost in Hyrule, Minecraft, Pandora, Skyrim, Arkham Asylum, a haunted mansion, or - well you get the idea. It's fascinating how despite many games having a same core concept (there's a bad guy, get him) there is such variation in story and style - it makes my heart smile.
Some more random things about me: I love peanut butter! I love pugs - especially Oliver the Pug! I have a LoveSac - one of the greatest inventions ever! (If you don't know what that is then shame!) I love sushi! Oh, and I once was late to work because the chicken crossed the road - more precisely a rooster.
Please enjoy these cosplay photos. Maybe I'll post some early sketches if I can find them . . .
Please note, all photos owe many props to their respective photographers. I apologize, but I am unsure who took the first and third of these photos - please let me know if it was you!
