To be honest, I don't feel this resembles Sylvanas at all. The colors are technically correct, but far too saturated. She is undead, so the tone of her skin and clothes is supposed to be duller. I feel that her armor is a bit too extravagant as well. Lore wise, she was a High Elf and they did dress very lavishly, but she's really an entirely different person as an undead. I think if you dropped the saturation on the photo down quite a bit it would actually look very much like her, and I think the costume is well-made.

honestly, this is awesome. blue skin is painted so well that it looks like her own, same goes for color of her eyes. so many details in there and all perfectly done, I can't find mistake there! it just looks too great; like she was real, I'd say! though I can't really tell how authentic she is, since I don't play World of Warcraft. but here goes proof that it can easily catch even eye of someone unconnected to WoW e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
but what really finishes it to the finest is lighting and atmosphere of place used for taking this photo. I've met many photos of perfect costume, but most of them without any fitting pose (you know, these "hello there" waving poses or just simple standing). using pose in which she actualy aims at something was great idea!
there's only one thing I find... well, not so great. it's her coat. at first look, I was like "wow! it moves with the pose!". because it truly adds more action to the photo. but as I looked at it closer... it looks a bit like someting holds it there, that it's not just flowing with movement. I didn't find any string holding it though. I guessed it if from her hair and ground, both tiny plants and leaves, because these are not moving. then again, probably only detail-diggers like me will notice this - the beauty of the cosplay itself can easily beat this tiny detail! and it definitely looks better with her coat flowing than if the coat was just lying on the ground ;]
I'd love to see more shots of this awesome costume; maybe some dodging or dagger action where even her leg armor will be visible! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/d⦠" width="29" height="21" alt="

Yes I agree about the comment of the cloak being held.
For simulating wind, let me recommend using a jet turbine. Portable, and effective.

This is honestly one of those great cosplay pictures that really capture the character.From how the cape flows up behind her to the armor and her weapons.Everything is purely detailed down to the bone (or paint in this case)Even the environment is perfect!
But the only thing that sorts of ruins is the pose on her-knee-style.HOWEVER again,the detail and all the beauty in the cosplay totally fades that out;Making this a fantastic cosplay.I would absolutely love to see more of this costume in action soon.
Also the photographer managed to capture EVERYTHING in one beautiful shot is hands down AWSOME!

So show me Smurfette Sylvanas in WoW

I'm not gonna exert more time on you for that, google is there for you. Trashtalk? I ain't trahstalkin you lol I was telling you to do some research before you act like you're Β a Mr-know-it-all dude. Just think of this, why would we do that version if it doesnt exist? That cosplayer is one of the pioneer and top(AFAIK) players of WoW mind you.

Not to be rude or anything, but Sylvanas has kinda sickly green skin, not blue. Otherwise, looks pretty great.

Oh thats fine, actually we have a reference photo for that specific version of Sylvanas, the coser was a hard core player of WoW. Thanks

i love it ... ! but the fact that it look like there is wind but the fallen leaves on the land stay still really distracts me

which kind of material did u use for the costume ?

Question: If we wanted to recreate that bow, how would we go about it? We have artists looking for guidelines and references.

it's a nice cosplay, but she's FAR too blue. There were some amazing Sylvanas cosplayers at Blizzcon a few years ago. they really pulled it off.

I completely agree with the above, she is VERY over saturated.Β

Thank you
I'm not quite sure how they made it, as far as I know it was made out of rubber sheets

hmm i think adding soem red contacts would help tons like whole red ones cause the colors feel off especially the armor since by the looks there blue here and in the ref there purple but the hoods the same but besides tht good job on making it and all :3
