Ryan, 38

Hometown: Bellingham, WA
Who are you cosplaying as: King Varian Wrynn from World of Warcraft
Tell me about your cosplay: I'm using all foam core mats. It's a pretty cheap material. I create the entire costume from poster board, then I take it all out, transfer it to foam and glue it together and finish it. It took about 200 hours.
Total cost of your cosplay: $700-$800
Best part and worst part about your cosplay: This is actually the most maneuverable and coolest costume that I have worn. The worst part is I don't like wigs. They're hot and uncomfortable and I feel weird wearing one.
Favorite Blizzard game: Right now it's Overwatch.
Why Blizzcon: The cosplay is on another level. The community is really small but really passionate. When I get inside I really I want to play the new Overwatch character.
How much do you think you spent this weekend: I'm on a very strict budget, but most of my money is going towards alcohol.
