I'm telling you guys, Danielle Beaulieu has been killing it with her recent string of cosplays. When her Death Knight started making the rounds, I really marveled at the work she put into creating it. For BlizzCon last year, Danielle was given the opportunity to work with the Corsair booth wearing her Death Knight. Specifically, it looks like she went the Blood Elf route in terms of race. Like most female Blood Elf gear, the cosplay consists of a small top, belt, shoulder pauldrons and various leg pieces. It's skimpy in nature because RPG/Fantasy genre logic dictates it so....yea i honestly don't know why that's always the case. Danielle really knocked it out of the park with this cosplay so as such, I grabbed as many pictures I could find as they were being posted. If I had to guess, this Death Knight is a Blood spec!

I'm not entirely sure if this is a specific armor/tier set in the game but I believe the axe is but I'll get to that later. Danielle had lots of resources and reference images to pull in designing this cosplay. To make it all cohesive, she went with a blood red color scheme with neon green outline/accents all around on each piece. Even the crown! Chains can be seen coming off her belt and near the red cape. The skull designs look incredibly insane, especially on the axe. All the armor pieces are lined with blue dyed fur. This most likely allows Danielle to be comfortable because I definitely see that cosplay being uncomfortable at some points!
Each of the armor pieces have a skull somewhere. Arm guards, center of the belt, even tiny ones on the shoulder corners. Some of them have green LED's that give off a sinister glow effect! For the axe, I know Danielle went with a specific weapon in mind and unfortunately the name escapes me as I write this. However, holy crap is it massive. The paint job is extremely well done and to me, has that dry blood look. Like it's seen some fierce battles in the Warcraft world!

It never ceases to amaze me when cosplayers take what the Warcraft universe shows and manage to create outfits from the game. In certain ways, it makes me feel vastly intimidated and inferior with my own cosplay skills ;-;. Danielle is covered even with finger armor here. It's that intense! The obvious guess is that most of the armor was done with EVA Foam, Black Worbla and Regular Worbla. All in various mixes/combinations. The ears are also really awesome here too as you can see in the photo on the right. Danielle's wig is long and silver/gray in its color. Very fitting for a Death Knight being trained over in Northrend! The detailing on the cosplay is just fantastic and really shows her stellar craftsmanship. I love the shape of the breastplate, and how the shoulders look! With this being a showcase, you damn well know I've got more than the usual amount of pictures! I hope you guys enjoy them!
