msjayjustice:The Making of VirtueVirtue is an awesome...

Best day ever


This was literally Christmas. I am still celebrating


This is Virtue and the Movement, from the first issue. She is amazing, and if you aren't reading this comic you should be!


Trying to get the mask right on paper.


Layers and layers of plaster on my face. Itchy!!


Hand stitching the V onto a shirt I altered. My hands are killing me but I will get this right!!


Added the sleeves.


Trying to build up the collar to resemble the way it looks in the comics.


Vengeance Moth, Mouse & Virtue at SDCC! The Movement is real!! :D


Me and Gail at SDCC!

The Making of Virtue

Virtue is an awesome character from the DC Comics book ‘The Movement’ by Gail Simone and Freddie Williams. This is how I came to cosplay her, the making of the costume, and the debut at San Diego Comic Con 2013. More photos and story are at my facebook page (cursed 10 photo per set limit!)

This costume was so hard for me because my disability has gotten worse and every moment of construction was a struggle, and I’d lost my job so had no extra money to buy anything. I had to use whatever I had in the house to make Virtue a reality. I want to redo the costume when things are better, but I’m so happy I was able to make it to San Diego Comic Con ^__^

Are you kidding, you looked FABULOUS!  You were totally Virtue, or more accurately, SHE is totally YOU!

You and Vengeance Moth freaked me out a little by being SO AMAZING!
