More of the #evilqueen #snowwhite as redesigned by @zachfischerart !

Hello everyone! I'm happy to say I'll be doing another #overwatch for #blizzcon this year! The Odile #widowmaker skin has stolen my heart, and I am so excited to bring it to life. A French ballerina sniper is basically everything I have ever wanted to be <3 #overwatchcosplay #widowmakercosplay #blizzcon2016 #cosplayplans #odilewidowmaker #blizzconcosplay #blizzardcosplay

I've been thinking about how awesome BlizzCon was last year! Even when I'm in costume, one of my favorite things is still to check out everyone else's amazing work. I don't know everyone in this photo, but Papa Cosplay was the amazing contest winner in his Knight Tychus armor, and @marinatheevilone is a good friend and the fierce Crusader behind me!

Even the most complicated costume can begin its life as humble pieces of fabric on the floor, lol! 😉 Thanks to @pdxmelba for taking this quick pic! #cosplaywip #cosplayprogress #cosplaylife #sewing #patterns #dressmaking #wip
