Im an avid cosplayer based in the UK, not much else to say really!
Well, this year has been a bit of an insane one! Gave myself a slightly too tight schedule for getting cosplays done meaning after I had a period where I just couldnt be bothered to work on costumes, I ended up having to do 14 hours of cosplay work a week on top of the full time job, and honestly just having to rush stuff!

Big news of the year though was that Bahamut was a great success! Still quite a lot of bits Im not happy with, and quite a bit of damage to the costume from wearing /transporting it, but I got an overwhelming reaction at amecon (which actually had me in tears afterwards!) and so much love for wearing it! ... and the cheer for walking up the flight of stairs was priceless!

The other major one this year was Seth (kinda fallen out of love with it though), also made Fluttershy (two versions), zelda (from the poster, really not happy with that one!) ... think thats it... Quite a few rewears as well which was nice to do!

So, now my dilema is what to do next... Bahamut was a costume being planned for years and was in fact started last year, but now its gone (except for extensive repeairs and improvements) Im not sure what to work on next! I think Id like a bit pair of wings, but more feathered wings rather than dragon wings, but at a bit of a loss.... well hopefully Ill see something and just want to do that!

Hi Nikki
I'm looking for exhibits for a display at the London Worldcon in 2014

Your Bahamut costume is fantastic. Would you be interested in the possibility of putting it in the exhibition?
You can check me out on Face Book - [link] - or deviantart

Thank you very much for the interest!
Unfortunately the costume itself is no longer in great condition and I'm instead planning to harvest some of its parts for another costume that I am currently planning (which will happen well before the worldcon event unfortunately) - I'll be keeping some of the smaller pieces of the cosplay such as the chest plate and head, but that is about it.
Very flattered though, thank you!

Hi
I saw some more photos of you yesterday. Sorry the costume isn't around as it was really fantastic.
'Many lemons' is going to ask around for me to see if anyone else has something.
It was wow!
