Adella is a 28 year old professional costume designer from California. Cosplay inspired Adella to use her natural talent for drawing anatomy and costumes, and so she attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, and upon graduating went on to becomge a professional costume designer. Adella regularly cosplays herself and also designs and creates cosplays for others.
The Zelda Project: Forest Song
"A soft breeze crept through the ancient trees, stirring them ever so slightly. Mingling with the rustle of forest leaves was a faint yet familiar melody, a song that had been played for as long as the spirits could remember.
The Zelda Project is a Los Angeles, CA based group of friends who seek to bring to life the characters, settings, and overall feel of Ocarina of Time through photography and film. Our ultimate goal is to create the characters as they would appear in reality to the best of our abilities, placing them in beautiful sceneries true to their Hyrulean counterparts, and creating elaborate photosets, as well as a film short (coming once the cosplay segment of the project is completed!).
Link Model: Anthony Beaston "Lune"
Costume: Made by me
Photography: IndigoVerse *Indigo76
Makeup/Special FX: Joellen Elam *Lillyxandra
Prosthetics/Special FX: Dasha Bolotina
Visual Effects: Julia Starr `night-fate
Assistant Photographer/Lighting: Aimee AKA =SeptSky
Assistant Camera: Evan James
Location: California Coastal Redwoods
The boots, gloves, and belts are all real leather, which we will be distressing further in the future. The gloves are still in semi pristine order right now, because Link has just emerged from the Temple of Time in his new clothes! The sword and shield are made with a number of different materials including high density foam, fiberglass, and resin. We included with the shield some distressing, since he is able to use it as a kid, but we will embellish it further as time goes on! The tunic is made with rayon spandex jersey knit, and the underclothes are a combination of 100% linen and spandex ITY. I will be posting a more in depth "how it was made" on the website once all of the photos have been posted!
This cosplay photo was a huge combined group effort that was a labor of love by friends and fans of the Legend of Zelda series. Combining all aspects of art from photography to visual effects, we wanted to bring the Legend of Zelda to life as best we could in a final presentation. So far this has been incredibly rewarding, and we hope that those of you who view our work are brought a little bit more into the world of Hyrule through our art.
A special thanks to everyone who has helped us get this far! Without all of your support and kindness we wouldn't have been able to make this happen. We only hope that with what we produce, a smile is put on your face!"

Cosplay: Aeris
"Aeris in the Forest of the Ancients. An attempt at mimicking that part of the game. There's a couple other poses from this I'll put on my site.
We took these somewhere in Chicago a while back. It was a fun shoot and it was so nice to be around trees.
Costume: Made by me
Hair: Styled by me
Makeup: By me
Photography: ~kjphoto of Cosplay.com
This costume is a favorite of my watchers, so I thought I'd throw them a bone. ^_^ It would be cool if I knew how to Photoshop it to look all misty and dreamy. o.o;;; You photomanipper people impress me!"

Princess Aurora Costume
"This is the costume of Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) that I made for my 17 year old sister Leah. Leah looks alot like me so people mistake her for me. This is not me in the photo, this is Leah my sister.
I made Leah's costume for her to go alongside my Belle costume.
I also apologize for the poor quality of the photo, it was the best we could do at the time.
This dress actually has 16 gores in it, and underneath she is wearing a corset that is squeezing her waist down to 23 inches. We decided that she needed an unnaturally small waist because Aurora had one in the movie. It needed to be victorian-small... so I kicked out a corset for her in a few hours."
