Twilight Cosplay
No, not THAT Twilight. I’m talking about Twilight Dancer, the huge stallion with warded horns and barding ridden by the Warded Man, and the latest entry in the Cosplay Contest that ends August 1, two weeks from tomorrow. Already there are a ton of great entries, but there’s room for plenty more! Check out the rules, because the prizes are cool as hell.
I met Sarah in Australia last August when I attended the 2010 Worldcon in Melbourne (have I mentioned that I will be at the 2011 Worldcon in Reno, Nevada next month? I should do a post on that…). Sarah was feeling under the weather, but still managed to pull herself together and come into the city and visit the con to meet me. It means so much to me when people go out of their way like that, and I had a great time talking to and hanging with Sarah. She found me in the dealer’s room thanks to my ever-visible SPEAR shirt, and we had a great chance to talk one on one. She also attended a bunch panels, including a very awkward one where I found myself having to defend ‘sexism in comic books’ against some well-meaning but very poorly informed/read pseudo-feminists.
Anyway, Sarah is all kinds of awesome, as you will see below.
Heya Peat!
I don’t know if you remember me…but I met you as Aussiecon last year. I was the one who was sick but I made my way over to see you anyway and basically followed (stalked) you around for the whole day :). When I saw you were doing a cosplay and you said we could do anyone I got excited. How many people have a horse they can dress up?
So, I give you my beautiful boy Clancy. I apologize for his lack of blackness but my mum refused to let me dye him black (much to my dismay).
I decided to make him a warded saddle and horns, but unfortunately you can’t see the wards on the horns in any of the photos :(. I was going to wrap his legs and neck in “armor” but Clance decided he was sick of being a plaything and started playing up so I had to put a halt to my creation. In case you haven’t guessed that’s me with him in the photos. I couldn’t decide if I was Leesha or Renna pre-wards. Maybe you can decide for me 🙂
I hope you like the photos!!

I remember that panel! That was somewhere better horrifying and very amusing. I remember feeling sorry for you that it was something like 3 against 1 on a not well thought out and very irrational argument.
I’m hoping that I have enough time to do a proper Renna cosplay 😀 Just hope that my teachers don’t give me much homework this week 🙂
How cool is it that you were able to dress up a horse for the contest!!? And that cloak is just gorgeous!
