The Snow White Knight: A Disney Princess Cosplay

Disney Princess — the words roll off the tongue like silk don't they? In fact, they usually conjure up images of flowing dresses, romantic ballads, and doe eyed sighs... gak.  A "classic" Disney Princess is definitely not my usual inspiration for cosplay. Of course this is not to say all…

Pauldron Perfect: The New and Improved Pauldrons of Akkhan

The Pauldrons of Akkhan have finally been perfected! It took me months to decide how to fix these giant pieces of armor, especially after the disappointment of their failure in 2015.  The goal for 2016 was to lighten the weight of each pauldron, recreate their glowing "spike" centers, and ensure each was centered on my…

An Evil Plot Unfolds… Spyro the Dragon Comes to Life!

Purple is my favorite color. Dragons happen to be my favorite creature. Do you think I would pass up the chance to combine two of my favorite things in to one oh-so-purple cosplay? Of course not! Spyro the Dragon has always been a must on my costume list, and I'm thrilled this…

A Rift in the Pauldrons of Akkhan

My fellow Zakarum faithful may have noticed something off about my 2015 photoshoot in the Armor of Akkhan Crusader cosplay. Crusaders are known for their big, hefty shoulder armor. The oversized, spikey behemoths Blizzard dubbed the Pauldrons of Akkhan are complicated to say the least. They definitely had me worried well before…

Diablo 3 Crusader Cosplay Progress

This past weekend, I had a MAJOR wake up call: DragonCon 2015 is less than 70 days away. Most of you are probably thinking, "PFF, 70 days? So what?" As a cosplayer working with limited time, to me this translates into "10 weekends." Thats right folks, only 20 full days left for…

The Rueful Axe Complete!

What the heck is The Rueful Axe? The Rueful Axe is " sort of " a Deaedric artifact from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I say " sort of " because it technically doesn't count toward the "Oblivion Walker" achievement for the game, but it was created by Clavicus Vile…

A Nord’s Best Friend

As a graphic designer (and self proclaimed *Ar-teest*) I hope it comes as no surprise that I enjoy making costumes and props. I confess haven't had nearly as much time in the past year to devote to them as I would like, but hey, a gal's got to start somewhere! **Update!**…
