It's totally fun to browse through the costume gallery (http://www.wow.com/2009/08/21/blizzcon-2009-the-costumes/) or the pictures of the costume contest (http://www.wow.com/2009/08/22/blizzcon-2009-the-costume-contest/) we took last weekend and marvel at the different costumes that showed up at BlizzCon (http://wow.com/tag/blizzcon), but what you don't see in those shots is all of the hard work that went into making each outfit. Sure, there are probably some store-bought purchases in there, but for the most part, each costume was assembled with lots of hard work and care, most of the time by the person actually wearing it.
Mariecannabis (http://community.livejournal.com/worldofwarcraft/8023092.html) is the woman wearing this Alexstrasza costume (http://www.wow.com/gallery/blizzcon-2009-costume-contest/2227268/full/) that we saw at the costume contest, and she has posted a gallery over on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariecannabis/sets/72157621296937618/) showing some of the behind-the-scenes work of making the molds and putting the costume together. The end costume looks great, but the process is all shapes and molds and paint and construction -- fascinating to see how it all comes together. And while this costume is terrific, it does make you wonder about the stories behind some of the even more complex costumes (http://www.wow.com/gallery/blizzcon-2009-costume-contest/2227093/full/) up there.
Stay tuned for more -- we'll be seeking out a few of the best costumes we saw at BlizzCon, and we'll show you some more of their stories in the future here on WoW.com. It's fun to see all of those on the show floor, but you sometimes don't realize just how much work and time is actually put into them.
