It's been forever since I updated my DA portfolio, and a handful of costumes are missing entirely. I'm too excited about this cosplay to wait until I've properly updated, however
I cant believe the stars aligned and I finished this costume in time to debut at SOFA 2012 in Bogota, Colombia.
Inspired by an original design artist Tess Fowler and I collaborated on, the concept draws from several iterations of Wonder Woman throughout the years, peppered with original elements. While I adore Linda Carters version of Wonder Woman (In your satin tights, fighting for your rights!), Ive always preferred the first lady of comics as a warrior. An Amazon. A total BAMF. Well debut the full illustration at a later date!
Ill also put together extensive build notes and credits soon, but a huge shout out goes to Thomas Ignatius, whos been my leatherworking mentor over the last few months. I constructed all of the costume (armor, props, skirt, belt, and so on) aside from the corset. Having never made one this complex, Tom and I knocked out the corset over a very long day, with me playing assistant. His incredible skill with leather shines through in the shape and fit of it. Perfect. I then took the corset home detailed it with the eagle crest, rivets, and dirt/blood.
More photos soon!
