At a convention last year I picked up a voucher for a photo shoot with professional photographers and wanted to have a cosplay to wear for it. I love cosplay, but I lack a lot of confidence to wear it and suffer from chronic procrastination in the build process. I hoped having a deadline might help me build something awesome. And you know what? It did! I build a Novice Mage from the world of Skyrim!

Building a Staff of Fireballs from the World of Skyrim
I love Skyrim. It’s a game I’ve spent many hours in, most of the time just wandering around and looking at things. It was the first game I really lost myself in and it holds a special place in my heart. There are so many fantastic weapons and armour in the game and I’d love to make them all! However “all of the things” is a poor starting point, so I decided to start with making a Staff of Fireballs instead.
Closet Cosplay Challenge for March: Video Game Hero
The theme for the March #monclocoscha challenge was Video Game with the challenge word of Hero. My very favourite video game, for which I have sacrificed many hours, is Skyrim. And the main character for Skyrim, the character you are playing, is always the hero… right? Even if they’re part of the Dark Brotherhood?
