Legend of Korra Cosplay

Korra Cosplay - Horse stance

Figured I'd dust off my blog and type a bit on my latest cosplay! Korra from Legend of Korra! I loved ATLA but I've also really enjoyed this sequel. It's got some powerful life messages and totes isn't just a kids show!

Anywho I digress. The costume. Made everything except the boots (Uggs) from scratch! It was a really fun project that gave me lots of learning experience with pattern drafting, fun fur and microsuede fabrics, and necklines and was overall pretty simple. Also....I cut my own wig! Korra cuts her hair in season 4 so I wanted to reflect that change (she's basically like Samson from the Bible...but that's a story for another day). Good news is she cuts her hair with a knife so it could look choppy :).

Flashing the guns and super cheesy posing

Side kick

I've been doing Wushu Kung Fu for approximately 3 years...so that's basically where all the poses I'm doing come from.

Also (much like Korra) I like to think that I'm pretty buff for a young lady (in the words of Bolin and Mako's grandma!).

 I'll probably put up a tutorial if anyone is interested. If not...I'll probably put one up eventually anyway :).

But I guess that's all for now... I mostly wanted to share my awesomely nerdy pictures. Avatar state YipYip!

Oh and I ran into old me at the con
