honestly, this is awesome. blue skin is painted so well that it looks like her own, same goes for color of her eyes. so many details in there and all perfectly done, I can't find mistake there! it just looks too great; like she was real, I'd say! though I can't really tell how authentic she is, since I don't play World of Warcraft. but here goes proof that it can easily catch even eye of someone unconnected to WoW

but what really finishes it to the finest is lighting and atmosphere of place used for taking this photo. I've met many photos of perfect costume, but most of them without any fitting pose (you know, these "hello there" waving poses or just simple standing). using pose in which she actualy aims at something was great idea!
there's only one thing I find... well, not so great. it's her coat. at first look, I was like "wow! it moves with the pose!". because it truly adds more action to the photo. but as I looked at it closer... it looks a bit like someting holds it there, that it's not just flowing with movement. I didn't find any string holding it though. I guessed it if from her hair and ground, both tiny plants and leaves, because these are not moving. then again, probably only detail-diggers like me will notice this - the beauty of the cosplay itself can easily beat this tiny detail! and it definitely looks better with her coat flowing than if the coat was just lying on the ground ;]
I'd love to see more shots of this awesome costume; maybe some dodging or dagger action where even her leg armor will be visible!

What do you think?

This is honestly one of those great cosplay pictures that really capture the character.From how the cape flows up behind her to the armor and her weapons.Everything is purely detailed down to the bone (or paint in this case)Even the environment is perfect!

But the only thing that sorts of ruins is the pose on her-knee-style.HOWEVER again,the detail and all the beauty in the cosplay totally fades that out;Making this a fantastic cosplay.I would absolutely love to see more of this costume in action soon.

Also the photographer managed to capture EVERYTHING in one beautiful shot is hands down AWSOME!
