Alicia, 26

Hometown: Orange County, CA
Who are you cosplaying as: Arthas Menethil the Lich King.
Tell me about your cosplay: I digitally sculpted most of it in ZBrush. It's a 3D modeling tool that's basically like using clay but on a computer. Everything including the armor is 3D printed. The hilt has smoke, but it takes two minutes to recharge after I use it.
Total cost of your cosplay: A couple thousand.
Best part and worst part about your cosplay: My chest plate and shoulders are heavy, but otherwise I feel like a badass.
Favorite Blizzard game: It's between World of Warcraft or Diablo.
Why Blizzcon: The costume contest is pretty great. All of the costumes are amazing and I just love seeing everyone's work.
How much do you think you spent this weekend: Nothing.
