The year is drawing to a close but that's not stopping me from sharing some truly epic cosplays for you guys. Today, I've got PretzlCosplay in some badass Valkyrie armor! The catch though is that this was designed around the bird Pokemon, Pidgeot! With that in mind, you can probably have an idea as to where the color scheme came from. For this cosplay, Pretzl has what looks to be a corset like black base which the breastplate rests upon. Traveling down is where the dress portion comes in which is made up of black sides and a centered portion of yellow and red. Here it almost looks tabard like to me. Some of the photos give hint to a cape/backside done with the same yellow as seen in the front.

Getting into the armor, Pretzl certainly has a lot going on! There's the previously mentioned breastplate which has various circular patterns and a symbol depicting Pidgeot centered up. Positioned also on the brace of the chest piece. I should note that all the armor pieces have a fur lining underneath them cause duh? IT'S JUST SO FREAKING COOL :D. The belt around the dress portion has hip armor which also have a symbol dead center. Here though, it looks like a different Pokemon is shown and I'm willing to bet it's either Pidgey or Pidgeotto. Mainly to give notice to the Pokemon's evolution line!

The belt also features a medium sized buckle which is straight up shaped like a Poke Ball. Pretzl's small shoulder pieces have wing designs on the front and back of them. You can also see the same line pattern with circles in-between them throughout all of the armor pieces. This helps with consistency! I also love the way the winged patterns were done :D. The bracers have this sharp angle/point to them. For the helm, she's got a faceplate that is traditional in what to expect of a Valkyrie. I'm talking wings extending off the sides like crazy which are also beautifully sculpted! Hanging down from her hair are extensions in red to symbolize the streaks that Pidgeot has in-game.

The photos are really something else you guys. Pretzl went out to a gorgeous forest area and got some really incredible shots in with her photographers. Some of them like the photo above have just excellent lighting and the way she looks is just something straight out of a fantasy movie. Seriously take a look at the others I picked out down below!
