BlizzCon is coming, and it’s already sounding like it’s going to be a good one. Last year was my first BlizzCon experience, and besides being dazzled by the lights, panels, and sheer number of people wandering the convention hall, one of the things that caught my eye were the costumes. They were everywhere. I’d seen photos of years past, but nothing really compares to seeing these costumes live and in person. Every little detail that goes into creating an authentic-looking piece of armor is astounding.

That said, I put a call out on Twitter last week asking for cosplayers who’d like to be interviewed, and goodness, did I get a reply. Svetlana Quindt may be a familiar name to some people and a familiar face for others. European fans of the WoW TCG may recognize her as none other than the Dragonqueen Alexstrasza from Darkmoon Faire: Kln earlier this year.

Mind-bogglingly intricate and exquisitely constructed, Svetlana’s costumes include both armor and weapons, running the gamut from Warcraft to Diablo and even Aion. And if that’s not enough, she blogs about the process and even has tutorials on her site! Check out the gallery for just a few of Svetlana’s gorgeous works of art, and follow after the break for more from Svetlana.
