In New Zealand we have a thing called the World of Wearable Art which is goes by the name the WOW awards. Which must really confuse locally based World of Warcraft fans who like to cosplay. We have hobbit cosplayers too....
They probably think they can turn up wearing their latest surgically enhanced elf ears and run down the cat walk in their little bikinis while brandishing a sword 5 times their body weight.
Right? Well no, it doesn't happen but what does occur is that millions of WOW still like to dress as their characters and get down for a bit of cosplay fun at the various conventions. Here's the pictures.
Here's a picture of Professor Putricide, he's the boss Wow gamers must face in the Plagueworks wing of the Icecrown Citadel raid. |
A game of fantasy, adventure and of course war, World of Warcraft takes place within the Warcraft world of Azeroth.
There's hundreds of thousands of people playing this game every day. It's no wonder some of them decide to take their love of the game back into the real world and dress up as their own avatars, cosplay style.
