STRUCK FIRST: Azura Cosplay as a Night Elf!

Struck First gives you a first look at a cosplay just as it's been debuted/had its first photoshoot. Cosplayers have been kind enough to let me have a first crack at analyzing the cosplay by providing me with brand new pictures.
Azura Cosplay is no stranger to creating fantastically gorgeous builds so it seemed natural for her to make something for this year's BlizzCon! With a group of friends, she became part of a Classic WoW Night Elf group. For me, this outfit gave me lots of nostalgic feels from both WoW's initial trailer as well as the starting area for Night Elves back when I first got into the MMO. You got that classic female elven design with a beautiful breastplate that has lots of silver swirls added in for the details. Two identical shoulder pieces can be seen and they have purple feathers underneath that stick outwards. The shoulders are very flat but curve upwards towards the end. You can also get a glimpse of the second section that's underneath them!
I wasn't able to find a full blown shot showing off Azura's legs but the image on the right can give you some insight! Again, mostly fabric with the silver placed on top like armor, with the edges/trim being a very light color. This is true for all the other instances the trim appears. For a prop, Azura did a PHENOMENAL job on the bow. With the ends mainly being silver swirls and the center having a purple strap wrapped around, it goes with the full cosplay perfectly. I'm curious if the arrow's placement was fixed in or if she had to nock it in every time she was asked for a photo.
Either way, the photos are absolutely breathtaking. Azura also has a blue wig with the added in long eyebrows. You can also see white tear marks under her eyes plus a small circlet acting as headgear! Not to mention of course the iconic elf ears sticking out of the wig! It looks like Azura lightly covered herself in violet body paint which was probably further enhanced in some of the other shots I found. Oh and there's also a glimpse of a quiver of extra arrows hanging off of her waist in one of the pictures! Azura did happen to post a couple of lewd/boudoir previews for a Patreon set she did and oh man are they something else! I really have to hand it to the cosplayers who create extravagant sets in their own homes for some of these Patreon sets! Take a look at the photos and let me know what you think <3.
As a former Patron of Azura Cosplay, I simply can't praise this girl enough for her work. I've said it numerous times but she really does enjoy the cosplay craft and goes above and beyond in creating the characters she cosplays as. You don't want to miss out on following her work, absolutely worth it :D
