Tali'Zorah
"This was definitely a collaboration costume. I purchased the visor from Taylor at Crabcat Industries and handed it off to Will at WM Armory to create the helmet. My friend, Meredith (who is also an amazing cosplayer), created Tali’s signature wrap/hood as a wedding present (best present ever), and Ammnra Creations did the omni-tool. I put it all together, created all the detail bits (belt, harness, boots, gloves, etc), installed a fan and tint in the helmet, and debuted the costume at Katsucon ’13!"

Rule 63: Deadpool

"Had a lot of fun shooting Black Cat and Wickedm6 at Sydney's Cockatoo Island. There's no shortage of great spots for photography (too many to choose from, in fact) and the weather was classic Sydney. Sunny all day long. I have to come clean and say that I haven't shot as much Western comic superheroes/ supervillains as far as one on one shots go. My colourful editing style do not always lend itself to this particular genre I thought. Nevertheless, I took up the challenge and had a go. I am pretty pleased with the results so far and I hope you enjoy them too."

Supergirl
Photographed by SoulFire Studio
"I probably say this for every costume at some point, but truly this Supergirl costume is my FAVORITE costume to date. I have loved reading the New 52 reboot Supergirl comics - she is so much more badass and they do a fantastic job of conveying the tragic side of her character. She's one tough chick. I felt so awesome wearing this costume and random people would come up and treat me like a real super heroine! There's no better feeling in the world! An old man in downtown Raleigh asked if I could pick up his car and move it to a better parking spot. Made my day."

Documentary: Cosplaying The Part

She builds, sews, paints, sells, and mostly wears costumes based on video game and anime characters. In this vide, Tysk reminds us to respect everyone’s right to self-expression. Read more Polygon.

"Here’s one of two shoots I knew I would be shooting over the weekend, and was excited to do so. Anton’s Mordecai from Borderlands 2 is amazing, and Laura made some improvements on it since the last shoot. Apart from some minor apparel fixes, there were a few big changes.
To start, the bottle of booze he was carrying around all day is no longer a Game of Thrones brew with the label partially scratched off. We took a new bottle and cleanly removed the label to replace it with Laura’s custom made Black Label… labels. drink up!Next we have Mordecai’s sword. It wasn’t functional last time a round, and by that I mean you couldn’t remove it from the sheath. That’s no longer a problem.Finally we’ve got Baby Bloodwings head and egg. Laura made an entirely new head for her and then an eggshell for her to sit in. Awww. Awesome job, Laura! See more of her stuff HERE. More to come…"

Sure, you could just buy a Gravity Gun online, but wheres the fun in that? Michelle Sleeper walks through how to create one from scratch on her blog. It looks like more work than I would ever put into a costume, but I'm sure there are many of you out there for whom the challenge would be the point for the project.

Kids: Fairytails
“Once Upon a Time” by (Miss) Maddie
Photographed by Wendi Riggens
"When Nicole said she wanted to do fairy tales for Miss Maddie’s 9 month session, I never imagined just how incredibly adorable and amazing the images would turn out! She spent weeks and weeks searching for the perfect pieces for the shoot, and we spent two hours the day before setting up sets and discussing strategy. At 9 months old, most babies don’t have an incredibly long attention span, and we knew we would have to work quickly to ensure that Maddie was happy and that we got the shots we wanted."
