I thought about making it a surprise, but I suck at keeping secrets and I’d much rather write up progress-reports in my blog and get input along the way since it’s probably going to be hard.

I finally got Burning Crusade last week, and so I’ve been running around in the new areas with a new character. I adore the character design of the Draenei, so I’m going to make a costume of my WoW character! Oh! So! Nerdy! Yay!

This bring my total of costumes for this year to 3. Seems a good number, since there’s really only 3 main days anyway, and one’s only a partial ^_~
1. Faun – partially complete (just need to redo the shitty parts, and make a more “forest creature” type top than the weird little toga I made for Hallowe’en because it had to be work-safe)
2. Smirnoff Fairy – some design work done. Learned I still suck at clothing design.
3. Draenei – plans in motion for legs involving post-knee-surgery leg braces

Got some good plans for digitigrade legs, since the faun ones I made can’t be used since a) the fur is attached directly to them, and b) I’ll have to make “actual” digitigrade legs instead of just “illusion” ones, since the Draenei are not furry so I can’t just use fur to hide the structure.

That’ll be the hardest part. The seriously hard, hard part. Beyond that, the hardest part will be figuring what armour to make for her to wear. I’m only level 16 right now, so my gear sucks and is mismatched. So far though, no one’s posted screenshots of any Draenei in any high-end armour sets (the expansion hasn’t been out long enough for people to get them and post images on top of that ^_~ ) so I’ll have to wait until those are available, but that’s something I need to get crackin’ on soon ’cause I’ve never made armour before and don’t know how to use WonderFlex (etc) so I think that’ll be a slooow process to actually craft the armour.
