So, as some of you already know, most of my time this past week has been spent working on my fem!Hawke costume (Dragon Age 2). In all likelihood, I'll be spending most of this week (right up until Friday morning) working on it (well, that and the bf's, as there's still a bit to do on his costume as well), but things are starting to drag, so I figured I'd put up a to do list, some work in progress shots, and whatever else seems relevant, in the interest of making myself feel like I'm accomplishing something. Also, do feel free to share your own cosplay endeavors (photos, materials, ideas), as I will be converting this into a general cosplay thread once I've finished with this craziness.
Feel free to ask what various things are made out of or how I put them together, if you feel so inclined. I'm always up for answering questions.
In addition to this, if you plan on working on a cosplay of your own and need some suggestions for materials and the like (or how you might go about making x), feel free to ask here and I'll see if I can't point you in the right direction.
