"Knowing your character!" - Necromancer

I find that a lot of people when cosplaying forget to "know thier character" os i have spent a while like i normally do trying to get the gist of movement and elegance of my own character. So first things first i've made her ingame, well to the best of my abilities without spending months on the thing trying to get the armour i want. I then took her into a training area of the game and took as many screen captures as i could doing different things different poses, as in guildwars the necromancer is an elegant spell caster not a physical attacker, more like an elementalist that i have cosplayed before. The great thing about guildwars is they have emotes, things you type in to express yourself so it helps alot, if you can remember those, you're pretty much there already to knowing your character. Then theres just the spell casting walking and talking left to do. Now i must admit i practice this get to  an event and be so exited and forget me character, its an easy mistake to make, but i have been known to switch from myself to a charactr instantly when asked for a photo. so heres my character expressed in images along with screen captures taken for make-up and hair aswell.

First bloggers announced!

before i write another blog about all my progress e.c.t i would like to announce that i have my first 2 collaberation bloggers,

Cosplay blog collaberation.

I was thinking on earlier today and have already announced it on facebook that i will be opening up 2 team member spaces to my blog after MCM expo and Amecon 2010 these spaces will be up for a week or two, these spaces will be given to people who like blogging but dont usually get the chance or cant keep a blog going for that long to give them an opertunity to show and tell you their expiriences alongside my won so you get a varied amount of views on the events. i wont be opneing more than 2 unless i get some more vaired people nd alot of interested people, or i may say if i have 4 people, 2 people one week 2 the next, but we will see after people say they want to do it so start signing up either leave me a message here, a comment or via MSN.

Happy blogging ^_^

Progress busy busy progress.

Been a while, but its because the end of university is comming up with the up comming London MCM expo, its hectic. however i am able to stop and post up some progress, with my necromancer at 80% completion and Shun'ou at 70% completion and an extra bonus prop i'e been working on too. also great news is my Dress for the Amecon ball is on its way =D so not long before i can post pictures of that either. Hopefully aswell once my necromancer is completed im going for a short photoshoot before London MCM expo if we have time and hopefully i will get pictures up then too. so here are some pictures for you, sorry about the one with me, its hard to take pictures of yourself at the end of the day when its dark.



I've also been working on this guy and making him into a puppet, however its not going too well yet.
