Popping back into deviantART after being away for many months to share an exciting first look at the Orphea costume that I had the great honour to wear at BlizzCon 2018 last weekend. The costume was made by the local team Henchmen Studios and was commissioned by Blizzard to promote the addition of Orphea as a new hero to Heroes of the Storm. It was such a pleasure to portray this gorgeous new character. It was my first time attending BlizzCon and boy was it ever a tremendous way to attend the con for the first time. XD Everyone at Henchmen Studios was incredibly sweet and great to work with and I was so honoured to meet the development team from HoTS that created Orphea. It was a magical weekend!

This costume was 100% made by Henchmen Studios. A big thank you to Kiga, Gilly, Meghan, Aaron, Kyle, Maty, Kevin and everyone else at Henchmen for making BlizzCon so amazing for me with this beautiful costume! A special shout-out to Aaron and Gilly as well as Stephanie from Blizzard for being my handlers at the event. The costume was pretty complicated and included a giant relic that I could wear on my back. It looks quite heavy, but it was only 15 lbs. I hope to one day Cosplay as Orphea again. I'm so in love with the character!
