6th Annual Gen Con Costume Contest Voting!

Over the course of the last two weeks most of the staff have trickled back into the offices from Gen Con, sharing tales of great times, great people, and in some cases also sharing the con crud. As a cosplayer myself some of my favorite things to hear back from the other staff are about the cosplayers they met at the convention. Don't hesitate in knowing that we love the work you do as much as you love ours. Your costumes this year were incredible, and you'd be proud to hear just how excited some of the Paizo staff were when talking about meeting you.

Kyra's Helmet

At the conclusion of every costume production course at UWM, students are assigned a choice project that will fully illustrate the variety of techniques that they have learned throughout the semester, and explore techniques that they have not yet learned about in order to create a project that is uniquely tied to their interests. My interest in costuming is directly tied to my love of gaming and fantasy, so naturally I decided to build Kyra’s helmet.
