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.
Altering a Guy’s Shirt to Cosplay Jack Harkness
With John Barrowman back in Australia a convention appearance I really wanted to pluck up my courage and get a photo with him. Previous photos I have gotten at cons I have never really been in love with how I look in them, so this time I wanted to do something for myself that would help me take a better picture. Like, say, cosplaying Jack Harkness. Because there is no way that Jack Harkness could possibly take a bad photo! For that I needed a shirt. So I decided to alter one to suit my needs.
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?

Closet Cosplay Challenge for February: Blue Pokemon
Gyarados by the water! Shiny Gyarados by the water! This is my entry for February’s monthly closet cosplay challenge for blue Pokemon: Gyarados! I had a blast flouncing around in the early morning sun and sea breeze as a strong dragon Pokemon. What a great way to start off a weekend!
Closet Cosplay Challenge for January: DC Villain
Sneaking onto the #monclocoscha challenge at the last moment for the January theme with a hastily cobbled together Bombshell Harley Quinn outfit was very satisfying. She’s my favourite version of Harley Quinn and I love this jacket. Any excuse to wear it is a good thing, and #monclocoscha fits the bill. Besides, the theme for January being DC Comics with the optional challenge of Villains. How could I possibly turn that down when Harley Quinn fits that perfectly!
