"Cosplay of Fran from Final Fantasy XII. Proud to say I won the inaugural Masquerade at the Eurogamer Expo with this costume - their first, and mine too! Probably my favourite costume to wear, though I did invent several new swear words whilst making it. Her armour and helm are made from craft foam, coated with black spray paint and ebony Rub 'n' Buff. The corset is more foam armour, 4-in-1 chainmail, and a miracle of structural engineering."
"Version 2.0 of the new Tomb Raider game (Version 1.0 my clothes were still clean and I had the earbuds in from the beginning of the trailer). Truth be told, I started this costume back in 2011 and with the help of many wonderful I finally finished the costume in 2013, along with an equally epic photoshoot."
"Finally my Lara Croft costume is 100% finished! I feel like im a real survivor now after the cool photoshoot! Tomb Raider 2013! All the accessories and the clothes were made by me"
