First off, I want to give you a heads up that you should expect a healthy dose of nerdiness in the coming weeks…
The Wizard World comic con I’ll be attending in Philly is just two months away, and after much deliberation, I’ve finally settled on my cosplay choice. My initial thoughts were Lynn Minmei from Macross, Urd from Ah My Goddess, or Lady from Devil May Cry, but I finally settled on Morrigan from the Capcom fighting game, Darkstalkers, but with a twist…
When fellow blogger, DarlingStewie, told me that she wanted to lolita-ify a character from one of her favorite sci-fi shows, Dr. Who, I thought that tweaking a classic character to suit one’s own stylistic tastes was an awesome idea. I initally toyed with the idea of doing the same–outfitting one of my favorite characters in ruffles and a petticoat, until I realized that I wanted something that was a little more true to me and my personal style.
And so I’ve decided to dress as a horror punk version of Morrigan. It may not make the most sense right now, but it eventually will (or at least I hope it will). I intend to chronicle the creation of my costume and I’ll admit now that the road to completion may be a little rocky. I have cosplayed before, but the Darth Vader, Jean Grey, and Mary Jane Watson costumes of my past consisted entirely of ready-made pieces, so this project will be much more of a challenge. Be sure to stay tuned!
