Cosplay Feature: Mad Moxxi
This has to be one of my favorite costumes to date, and was quite an expensive endeavor by the time all things were said and done. Every penny was worth it, however, when I put the entire ensemble on for the first time.

Photoshoot: Vintage DC Dress
I decided to stick this shoot in the cosplay section because I don’t think putting a handful of these photos in my modeling portfolio will do everyone’s hard work justice! This was an idea I had after scouting some amazing vintage DC bed sheets on eBay.

Cosplay Feature: Velocity
[Update 12/30/10] Just added a handful of new photos to the gallery thanks to LJinto! check them out!
Velocity – the resident speedster of the Cyberforce crew – was the first character I decided to debut at SDCC 2010. I already had her in mind during the convention the previous year, even before finding out about her timely return to comics via a solo book releasing at the show.

Cosplay Feature: Lara Croft (Tokyo Dress)
It is hard to believe, but this is the first costume I ever made and somehow I only got around to shooting it this year. I think it was worth the wait, however.

Cosplay Feature: Excella Gionne
I said I wasn’t going to shoot this costume after it’s debut out on the town at the annual Zombie Pub Crawl. I lied.

Zombie Pub Crawl 2010/Closet Cosplay – Excella Gionne
Becoming an annual tradition, several GI staffers and I made our way to Zombie Pub Crawl VI: It Just Won’t Die this past Saturday. Attendance skyrocketed this year, with over 12,000 undead wandering the streets of Minneapolis when we arrived on the scene early in the evening. We’re told that even more corpses arose from their graves as the night unfolded.

Cosplay Feature: Princess of Persia
I can honestly say this was never a costume I intended to make. Crossplay (gender-bending cosplay) hasn’t been a priority on my list, and in reality I was interested in dressing up as Elika from Ubisoft’s recent Prince game rather than the Prince himself. However, one night while out with my friend Ashley, we came up with the idea of putting together a group for San Diego Comic Con featuring female versions of male video game heroes.

SDCC 2010: A Cosplayer’s Perspective
Yes, San Diego Comic Con has come and gone, and I’ve failed to update my blog with even the smallest mention of the uber-event. Consider this retroactive post a first of many in the next few days, when I will update with full galleries of all the costumes I debuted, as well as images from the show floor. For now, you can get a peek at my week in San Diego via this feature I wrote for gameinformer.com, detailing what SDCC is like through the eyes of a cosplayer. Enjoy!

Cosplay Feature: Aphrodite IX
Update! Aphrodite IX 2.0 costume description and gallery added. Be sure to check it out below.
Aphrodite IX has been a favorite character of mine for a long time. What isn’t there to love? She is a hot android-assassin who forgets who she is after every mission. See? No baggage! Jokes aside, Aphrodite is one of many Top Cow babes who won my heart after I first set eyes on her. The fact that she doesn’t wear much was a plus, as it meant the costume wouldn’t be hard to make.
