BlizzCon Costumes: Female Monk
BlizzCon presents an opportunity for real-life tailors and engineers to take up their wow power level needle and thread, their cardboard and spray paint, to create amazingly wow power leveling realistic recreations of their favorite Blizzard characters and creatures. After this year’s costume contest, we invited the winners to write an article on the art of costume-craft for us to share with the community. Here’s the first of three, written by Christina, who won first place buy cheap wow gold for her astonishingly accurate portrayal of the female monk from Diablo III.
Hello to all my fellow gamers out there! My name is Christina, and I portrayed the Diablo III female monk in the BlizzCon 2010 costume contest. Creating and sharing my costuming works with the wow power leveling BlizzCon crowd is always a highlight of my yearly visit to Anaheim. In previous years, I have also portrayed Mother Shahraz from the Black Temple and a paladin in the tier-6.5 Sunwell Plateau set, with both costumes given the honor of being finalists in the costume contest.
Compared to some, I am still a newcomer to cosplay. The Sunwell paladin was my first major costuming endeavor and was mostly made with basic, easy to acquire materials: craft foam, Model Magic, insulation foam, papier-maché, and paper clay. After doing some research online about cosplay and armor structure, I was able wow power leveling to put together a decent representation of that armor set. My only goal for that year was to create a replica of what my own World of Warcraft character was wearing at the time and to wow account share my passion about Warcraft with others by displaying my creativity and hard work. Sadly, those materials were not made to last, and the costume met its glorious (read: explosive) end after a few more wears.
The Mother Shahraz costume took a very different route from the previous year and involved much more sewing and creative thinking when it came to the arms wow power leveling and helmet. The arms were carved from large blocks of foam and had articulated joints in the elbow and the fingers. This allowed me to run a fishing line between my own arms and the fake ones below so when I lifted my arms, the middle set would lift as well. The fingers had wow power leveling wires running inside so they could grip the swords easily and look passably real. The helmet had about three incarnations before I got it right. The balance and fit had to be pretty spot on, since there were no straps or special rigging to hold it in place. I learned to respect and fear stiff winds while I was wearing Shahraz.
