Hextech Janna from League of Legends Cosplay
Tayliss Forge looks amazing cosplaying as Hextech Janna from League of Legends! Here's a little bit about her and more about the costume...
"Bio: Tayliss is a cosplay model and artisan crafter. A majority of her time is spent making costumes and accessories for her online business: Nonconformity Accessories. She loves leather-working and creating corsets, bracers, purses, etc. She also enjoys making replicas of props, jewelry, and clothing from movies, TV shows, anime, video games, or board games. She often attends anime and comic conventions where she wears her costumes. Most of her costumes are heavily influenced by steampunk and Victorian fashion. Tayliss prides herself in making the most accurate costumes possible.
About the Costume: The entire costume is completely handmade with the exception of the boots, gloves and shorts. Heavy modifications were made to all three to be more like the character's attire. The corset is made with a soft suede and stainless steel bones to give a slight hourglass figure. The belt was made of the same suede and customized to have pockets to fit a phone in one pocket and business cards in the other. Push lights and lighting gels were used the have light up buttons. The goggles were made using almost all worbla and metal rims. Also included, is Janna's air elemental which is a blue bird for this skin.
The staff is made with pvc pipe, worbla, acrylic, tubing, EL wire, and lighting gels. After putting the staff together, it was spray painted to have the proper color and texture. In lower light settings, the crystal and tubing shines brightly to have a magical effect.
This specific costume was chosen because Tayliss's main character in League of Legends is Janna. Also, Tayliss admires the steampunk aspects of the hextech skins. Using the avatar and American version of the skin, she tried to make the costume as accurate as possible."
