Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

Cosplay Feature: Zombie Bit Me's Road Biker Harley!

I wanted to feature cosplayer Zombie Bit Me (Shantel Knight) again because she just recently debuted a really interesting version of Harley Quinn. Dubbed "Road Biker Harley", it looks like a very punk/apocalyptic version of Harley who's out causing some mayhem in an already chaotic Gotham City. It looks like to be a version that Shantel created on her own, unless I'm mistaken and it's inspired by a certain artist's rendition. The outfit utilizes the classic Harley Quinn colors throughout the outfit including her breastplate and pants. I actually love how she colored in the shorts red and black equally. In addition to the breastplate is this upper section that encircles her head and is jet black in color. Shantel's wig looks really awesome with its length going down to the chest.

Other pieces to the outfit include a small but beefy looking gun and grenades hanging off her shorts. One leg has an armor plating which goes well with everything else. White thigh high stockings are also seen with high top black boots. The boots themselves are decorated with small silver plates! Shantel also did a great job on the makeup and the mask.

The photos I love the most as she captures the character of Harley so well. The black/red editing in most of the photos I have for you clash with the overall cosplay really well. The writing of "Bomb Squad" on her breastplate was a nice touch too! With posing, Shantel mainly stuck on the badass side as she stands tall and definitely looks like she's ready to mess stuff up as Harley. Take a look at the other photos I have for you and tell me what you think! :)
