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: CamiiCat's Widowmaker!

There really is a plethora of skins and characters from Overwatch for cosplayers to select from. Some characters are a bit more popular than others, Widowmaker certainly falls into that category. Today, I have CamiiCat rocking a very formal skin for the deadly sniper. This marked Camii's first time cosplaying her at Katsucon earlier this year before all hell broke loose. I tried looking up exactly which skin this was so if anyone has an answer I'll gladly update this sentence with it! The dress is a gorgeous shade of purple but I'll get to that in a second. From the top, there's Widowmaker's iconic headgear/visor done in black with red circles in each section. It fits somewhat like a frontal faceplate given as to how her wig is poking out from behind. Speaking of which, the wig is a deep shade of blue and looks to be a short cut style!

It looks like Camii also applied some body paint to her face with her arms also lightly colored blue. The dress soon comes after with a propped up collar and one shoulder covered in some armor. This piece is done in purple and silver with an emblem of sorts added on top. This is either Widowmaker's icon or that of the overall Talon group she's a part of. The sleeveless dress travels a pretty far amount down. Camii has different things going on when it comes to her gloves. One is normal with an overall fancy style with lots of etching and lace. The other is covered up with armor on top of the fabric. Again, purple and silver make a big show here in terms of color. As you get towards the bottom of her dress you'll soon see these patterns/symbols etched into it. Here we have spade like imagery with a silver trim around the insides being blue.

Despite the dress being purple, the blue here does standout! For the legs, you've got long stockings with of course garters cause that's how Widowmaker rolls <3. Much like the arms, CamiiCat has slightly different things going on for the legs. One feature what looks like armor or a covering of sorts towards the start of the stocking. The other features a strapped pouch on her thigh. The massive rifle that the character wields is also on full display here. In what's a solid contrast to the outfit colors, Camii has a small rifle done in bright purple pattern/trim lines and an overall orange base for the body. I'm curious how she's handle herself hiding in a battle while quickly taking out foes from a distance....with a brightly colored weapon.

Many of the photos do an amazing job showing off the key pieces of the cosplay, Various angles, closeups and some post edit with lighting, it's all here!

For it being her first time cosplaying as Widowmaker, CamiiCat did an absolutely phenomenal job and I'm looking forward to sharing more of her work for you all on here later this year :).
