Same 8D. BTW your cosplay is famous on other websites aswell... I don't know how they got there. When I looked they were in blogs saying it was the first Gwen cosplay they've seen and things like that. Just thought I'd say. You must be famous lol.

I love Gwen. Especially in her basic outfit (the one you're showing). I was so disappointed with her alternate Deldrimore and Brotherhood costumes. D: They just didn't feel like the same character really.

fishbone76 In reply to JNetRocks [2010-05-21 13:23:38 +0000 UTC]

yeah the alt outfits looks slutty and not cool at all.

TakagiNaoSama In reply to JNetRocks [2010-01-23 03:37:19 +0000 UTC]

Gwen is so great ^_^

I agree that her default outfit is the best, but I like her others as well. The flowery dress doesn't seem to fit her personality, but it's still pretty

Kopa-Malphas [2009-08-30 10:12:46 +0000 UTC]

The costume is great, even though its hard to put together a costume for a game, and make it look natural, you did an awesomejob, especialy the leatherwork, is that leather? And well, Youre aparantly plain gorgeous and cosplay Gwen realy well ^ ^


they need to make a guild wars move. They have more out on GW 2 in interviews on youtube, and there will be a sieries of books released starting this february bridging the gap between GW1 and GW2, itll make my wait easier XD

TakagiNaoSama In reply to Kopa-Malphas [2009-08-30 19:26:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, Evangelionfan!! ^_^

It's definitely not real leather, haha. I've had to wear just straps of that before and no thank you never again lol! It's brown pleather though for the corset, gloves, boots, and top accents.

I agree we should get a movie or something to bridge the gap between the games. Maybe a CG short of some kind? That would be so awesome! I didn't know about the books, I'll have to look that up!

I keep seeing this cosplay here and on cosplay.com and I keep thinking how awesome it is but never get round to commenting until now! This is definately one of the best if not the best cosplay I have ever seen, everything is so perfect, you even look like her! It's so unbelievably perfect, all the poses you've done in the other pictures look so awesome You've even got patterns on the boots and gauntlets, it looks better than the CGI art for Gwen

I'm cosplaying as Eve in October, I can only hope it'll be half as good as this. I've been debating whether or not to spend days drawing all the patterns on her armour, but I think I probably will

TakagiNaoSama In reply to DemoraFairy [2009-07-06 03:03:54 +0000 UTC]

Wow, thank you SO much DemoraFairy!!!

I absolutely cannot make a costume without all the little details. They are so worth it, and even if only the hardcore fans realize you've even done the details, it's so rewarding when they do. So thank you for recognizing the little things ^_^

Good luck with your Eve costume! By any chance do you go to conventions on the East coast? I don't plan on wearing Gwen to a convention again, but I would do it to take photos with another GW cosplayer

DemoraFairy In reply to TakagiNaoSama [2009-07-09 12:23:13 +0000 UTC]

Np Yeah, and sometimes it's doing the details that's the most fun! And they can make a costume go from looking like a fancy dress costume to looking like something more real, like this.

Thanks! I wish I did, unfortunately I live in the UK It would be amazing to get to take photos with you, honestly it would be such an honour! A couple of my mates are going as Devona and Cynn too, it would have been awesome to see you in your costume and take some group photos.

TakagiNaoSama In reply to DemoraFairy [2009-07-09 19:34:42 +0000 UTC]

Can't wait to see Devona, to my knowledge no one's ever cosplayed her before!

DemoraFairy In reply to TakagiNaoSama [2009-07-10 00:09:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I haven't seen any others, I can't wait to see it! If you're interested, ~Giant-Lenin is being Devona, and ~shangdragon is being Cynn.

Dude this is an amazing cosplay! From the thumbnail I thought you just cropped her battle pose from the game, but seriously, this is detailed as hell!

Aww thank you so much! I worked hard on her. Thank you for noticing the details! ^_^ <3

Speaking of which, do you still play the game?

TakagiNaoSama In reply to kuhu [2009-07-02 03:59:21 +0000 UTC]

I play it occasionally. I'll play it a lot when I get in the mood, but all I really have left to do it get titles, and that can get monotonous. I will always love it though ^^

DragonOfBitterLies [2009-04-22 21:19:57 +0000 UTC]

Not enough people have this by far.

I can't get over how much you look like her, all the detail is there.

Now where do I sign this petition to get you doing her other armours?

Thank you so much!! I love Gwen so much, I will definitely be making her other armors
