It's almost ECCC time and I'm not attending this year but this means that it's the 10 year anniversary of my most ambitious cosplay, Kael'thas Sunstrider from World of Warcraft. I made the whole thing, from pattern drafting and embroidery to sculpting the ears and lacing the eyebrows. The shoulder armor made it difficult to fit through doorways. I competed in the master's category of the costume contest that year, so I was in this for over 12 hours that day, hence why my eyebrows were drooping by the evening; I don't know if I'll ever subject myself to that again but I'm glad for the experience lmao.
A very young Sin'dorei Blood Knight, this image is set during the Deatholme Campaign, just before the Blood Elves joined the Horde. A young, inexperienced, and fairly idealistic young woman who was only a child during the Scourge Invasion of 20 ADP, she lost an eye to a Skeleton's cursed sword in this campaign, and then lost her sister to Dar'khan the Betrayer's magic.
She's fine. It's fine. Everything's fine. I'm sure this will cause no lasting problems for her mental state!
(combination image with her and her big sister Tanielle, the impending corpse in question)
My Sin’dorei Spellblade, Idrahi Minn’silaru. She is on the hunt for her sister who has went missing during her own futile quest for powerful and forbidden magics. Idrahi now scours the surface of Azeroth in search of Satine, hoping to one day be reunited with her and bring her home. Quiet, reserved, and extremely confident, she is much the antithesis of her sister’s snobby, boisterous and egotistical mannerisms.
Look at this. Look at how regal this is. The blood elves and nightborne do not know how to be basic and this is one reason why I love them so much.
"I suppose we'll go camping adventuring with you, but we don't like to stand on dirt for too long so we're taking the elegantly embroidered rugs. We'll pack the gold floating candle holders because lanterns are for peasants and it's imperative that we bring our bejeweled Nether Greatwyrms along with their ruby encrusted, satin cushioned beds."
"A nesting roost? With....hay?? Have you lost sense, champion?"
