# About me
I am a Brooklyn, NYC native, but I dream of Middle-Earth. I have a B.A. in history, my greatest passion, although I am also a devotee to literature (of almost any kind) and writing. I’m also a horror movie junkie and huge nerd for anything that involves fantasy. While I am certainly not a professional artist, I am a perfectionist and I take my hobbies very seriously. I am a crocheter and a cosplayer and absolutely obsessed with costuming.Thanks so very much for visiting my page. If you have any questions or comments about the pieces in my gallery, please feel free to shoot me a note. I always love hearing from fellow deviants.

Since I wouldn't have been able to do some birthday muro drawings, I got you three extra drawing copies, so...
SURPRISE;
Believe it or not, three birthday muro drawing copies I made, of birthday feet, chibi Haruhi Suzumiya, and Mikuru Asahina wishing you one, so, wishes 'n' luck!

I'd just been thinking of you randomly, and then stumbled across that poem. Great timing, as I think you'd mentioned recently (at the time) you weren't feeling your best.

I was doing research on ranger garb--for a character design--and found your photos. Very good! And not just one outfit. Any advice you have--on accoutrements, etc--would be greatly appreciative.
This'll give you an idea of what I've been doing: theskaldofnvrwinter.deviantart…

Hello!
Thank you for your interest in my cosplays. I’m so glad you found them inspiring. However, I have to admit, I don’t know a ton about Ranger costumes. Usually, I cosplay Tolkien Elves and therefore, I only have one Ranger costume. I will try my best to give you some info, although I don’t know how helpful it will be. I guess the best advice I can give is to follow your own imagination when it comes to compiling a costume. That’s what I usually do, haha.
Anyway, when I made my Ranger costume, I tried to use a lot of layers. I always figured that Rangers would probably wear all the clothes they had, picking up odd pieces here and there. So try to add a few layers (they don’t have to be matching, in fact its better if they aren’t!) to give your outfit some interesting texture.
Secondly, I would recommend trying to use clothing that looks a little more worn, or if it’s new, you could try weathering/aging it. I don’t think a Ranger would wear something brand new and shiny. And even if they did, it would probably get dirty fast. For example, for my Ranger cosplay, I took a pair of old leggings I had and used a pumice stone (or you could try sand paper) to make the material look worn, and I also splattered some pant on them to give them a faux muddy effect.
Finally, I know you may be tempted to add a bunch of gadgets and daggers and pouches to your belt, but I find traveling light is better. A Ranger wouldn’t want to carry around a bunch of heavy stuff and neither will you if you are wearing your costume all day to a Faire or convention. A few simple pieces attached to your belt looks much neater and authentic, in my mind.
Well, that’s about all I can think of right now. I apologize if this info isn’t helpful. Like I said, I don’t have much experience with cosplaying Rangesr. I wish I could give you more tip, but I really do hope you find these few helpful. Good luck with your cosplay!
Best,
Lee

I totally appreciate your ideas. Just as soon as I figure out how to draw worn, I'll get back to you, lol. And I'm doing research on belts and what not. It's very confusing. Right now, when I draw her, I forget to add the quiver:

Oh my, a favourited picture by you? (I've trawled your gallery and enjoyed the inspiration you inspire!) Thanks! I'm really happy you like the photo of my Isilmëare (that Windweaver costume) so much! \^_^/

*blushes* Haha, I feel so flattered! I'm such an admirer of your work. I absolutely love your Isilmeare costume. I think you did an amazing job creating that layered style the Elves seem so fond of. I'm definitely using your Windweaver outfit as inspiration for my next project. Please keep up the excellent work!
PS So sorry for the lateness of my reply. I had a bit of a rough winter and wasn't on DA much.

Aww, thank you.
And, nae worries - as you can see, I'm not always the one to reply at once either... for some reason, May comes along and drags April and June with it in a flurry of "wait wait not enough time!"
I hope you have had the opportunity to create an outfit, and the inspiration for it! Good luck and again, thanks ^_^
