Witchblade is arguably Top Cow’s most popular franchise, enjoying success in the form of comic books, a television series, a manga run, an anime series and maybe even a feature film in the near future. The series follows Sara Pezzini, a NYPD homicide detective who comes into possession of a supernatural, sentient artifact with immense destructive powers. In the series, Sara struggles to master the awesome powers of the Witchblade while maintaining a career and personal life. Not particularly easy. Check out more of Meagan's costumes at Figure.Fm!
Meagan writes: "I will admit that this costume scared the crap out of me when I decided to make it. First, I had no idea how I was going to make the Witchblade – and considering what a huge fan I am of the comic – I was not willing to do it half-assed. Second, wearing 100% latex is a frightening thought. Still, looking back, the costume was a blast to make and I am pretty happy with the results. I am not completely finished with the costume – I think I am going to add a bit more of the Witchblade armor to the boots and my chest, but I am close enough to done that I am going to keep wearing it out to conventions."
"Shooting the costume was a blast, as I got to work with my favorite photographer Scott Miron. He also introduced me to a makeup artist named Katie Ballard, who pulled off the perfect balance of glamour and toughness that is iconic of Sara Pezzini. I cobbled together a plainclothes version of Sara for the shoot, as I wanted to capture Sara in her cop garb. Although it was a much simpler costume–the bracelet took me all of an hour to make–I really enjoyed shooting it and am happy with how the photos came out."
