I've wanted to do a World of Warcraft character ever since I started a couple of years ago. So I concluded that the best place to start would be with one that I was familiar with. I knew this costume would be a challenge but if pulled off right, it would look very cool. I'm considering doing another of just an "original" design or based loosely on other things. WOW is very fun to do.
Construction Details:
120+ hours
Fabric: fake suede, all of original patterns I designed.
