When I first announced I’d be creating a cosplay costume for Wizard World Comic Con, I promised to keep you guys posted throughout the creative process. A lot of people have been asking how the costume’s been going, and if it seems\u00a0like I’ve been a bit quiet on the subject,\u00a0I haven’t\u00a0forgotten. It’s just that the journalist in me has always worked best under pressure, and I really hadn’t done much more than plan until this past week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0The two components I was most concerned with were the wig and wings. I scoured the internet for the perfect wig–one that was heat-resistant and the\u00a0correct length and\u00a0style. It was nearly impossible to find an entirely\u00a0pre-styled Morrigan wig, so\u00a0as soon as the wig came in from China (thank goodness for eCRATER<\/a>), I\u00a0made an appointment with a hairstylist for an unconventional haircut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And voila–a cleaner, more precise Morrigan hairstyle. Due to my weird\u00a0posture in the first pic, these sort of remind me of makeover before and after pictures from an\u00a0advertisement. Judging from the pictures I apparently gained style and<\/em> confidence…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Since I’m opting for a street punk version of the character, I decided to trade in the big\u00a0clunky\u00a0wings for a screenprinted back patch to affix to a spiked biker jacket.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After discussing some ideas, my brother\u00a0<\/a>was\u00a0nice enough to draw up the wings for this\u00a0screenprint design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love the way the back patch turned out–so much so that I might just have to start up\u00a0a band called “The Darkstalkers” after the con. Incidentally, if anyone else is as much of a Capcom\u00a0fan as I am, I have a handful of these patches left, thanks to the awesomely helpful dude <\/a>that was willing to make them for me. Feel free to drop me a line if you’re interested in one.<\/p>\n

So for now I have the wig and back wings down, and I\u00a0still have the stockings, top, biker jacket, gloves, and head wings left to complete with only three days to go. Oi…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
