Mage hunting in Lowtown

Finally finished, the Cullen cosplay I've been working on for the last 9 months!  A total of 140 hours' work went into this, and I had to learn chainmail making, applique, and fabrication of expanded PVC foam board in order to do it.  I'm very pleased with the result!

The costume is not eligible for competitions, but we still have a lot of fun just wearing it around and taking photos.  I love talking about my work and meeting other people who are into costuming, and it definitely gets conversations started!

Costume by me, model is my partner Dr Wheel, and photos by Polly Lind.
