WoW cosplayer\u2019s spectacular Jaina Proudmoore washes away the competition Blizzard Entertainment, CosplayByKatieJaina Proudmoore has become one of the World of Warcraft universe\u2019s most beloved characters, but one cosplayer\u2019s recreation of WoW\u2019s ice mage has won her Dragon Con\u2019s seal of approval. Forever the queen of the Azeroth\u2019s vast oceans, the stunning Jaina Proudmoore has become one of World of Warcraft\u2019s most famous faces. The character is so popular that, as former WoW players continue to flock to Square Enix\u2019s MMO Final Fantasy XIV: Online, one player has recreated her in all of her icy glory. With Asmongold remarking that this FFXIV Jaina was even better than WoW\u2019s, the character has etched herself into both Azeroth and Eorzea\u2019s respective histories. It turns out that she features in the cosplay history books too, though, as CosplayByKatie has snatched the Dragon Con Novice cosplay crown with her stunning Jaina look. WoW Jaina Proudmoore cosplay will make you shiver In a spectacular recreation of the icy sorceress supreme, Katie has swept both fans and professional cosplayers away, winning Dragon Con\u2019s Novice cosplay contest in the process. Electing to summon the frost queen because \u201cI feel that Jaina is a character that has a very interesting backstory that often gets overlooked,\u201d she told Dexerto that she \u201cwanted to bring attention to this character through cosplay so more people would think about her significance in the game. \u201cJaina is a strong female protagonist in the game that has been through many hardships but prevails in the end, and I feel that she shares a good message of perseverance.\u201d Additionally, as an avid WoW player, she \u201cbelieves that World of Warcraft characters are not cosplayed enough,\u201d and was \u201cvery excited to demonstrate my skills to make a character come alive from a game I have spent so much time playing.\u201d And bring her to life she did. From the tip of that iconic frozen staff all the way down to the intricate golden details of her iconic navy and pearly white armor, this cosplay is complete perfection. Even her hair and makeup are en point, with that brassy fringe framed by that cascading blond braid. I won Novice for my Jaina Proudmoore cosplay at @dragoncon! Thanks for all the support and love, I am so grateful \ud83e\udd0d @Warcraft @Blizzard_Ent @WarcraftDevs @LifeatBlizzard #worldofwarcraftcosplay pic.twitter.com\/YHm082ZxAy \u2014 CosplayKatie @ PAX East (@cosplaykatiee) September 6, 2021 \u201cThis cosplay was the most intricate and detailed cosplay I have done to date,\u201d she confessed to Dexerto. \u201cSeveral hundred hours were dedicated to patterning, design, stitching, 3D printing, painting, and rapid prototyping pieces for test fitting.\u201d Clearly, though, it was all worth it. Snatching Dragon Con\u2019s Novice cosplay crown, she describes the experience as \u201csurreal.\u201d \u201cIt was my first time entering in a cosplay competition and it was very satisfying to see my work being recognized by professional judges in the industry. I\u2019m looking forward to my next cosplay at DragonCon to bring home the Master\u2019s title, and hopefully other competitions as well!\u201d View this post on Instagram Will it be a Blizzard cosplay, though? It might just be! \u201cI absolutely have several Blizzard cosplay projects in the design and development stage,\u201d she reveals. \u201cMy next project on track for completion will be a Demon Hunter cosplay inspired by Illidan Stormrage! \u201cAs a sneak peak to some additional Blizzard cosplays in the works, I\u2019m planning on creating the Covenant armor sets beginning with the Venthyr cloth set. I\u2019m very excited to bring these debut these cosplays at BlizzCon as well as other conventions!\u201d If you\u2019ve been enchanted by Katie\u2019s stunning Jaina, be sure to follow her cosplay journey on Instagram, as well as join her on TikTok!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
