Black Widow Cosplay Name of the Rose Marvel Comic By Mon-Kishu Watch

I read the Marvel Comic "The Name of the Rose" by Marjorie Liu and Daniel Acuna and totally loved this scene. (no money made with this. just for fun. the gun is just a drawn sketch.)



A day later I was shopping for cloth.

A week later the Cosplay was done and I was wearing it (without the military parts) even though it was too warm outside for it.



And now, several months later, it FINALLY snowed. So I went straight to the forest a few minutes away by foot and shot the pics. As you know me by now I do all of it myself. And shooting in the cold with only a tripod and a remote for the camera and no real way of checking if I am even properly in the frame was difficult. But in the end and after freezing to death (it was way below zero degrees today), I came back with some photos.

Since a normal forest isn't as perfect as the drawn one from the comic I played around a bit and integrated trees from other pics I took to make the panels. ^^



Hope you enjoy my work. ^^ What you think?



Did you like the comic itself? I know it's a little weird compared to all the others, but I enjoyed it exactly because of that, especially the plot. I only wished the Winter Soldier (with now erased memory) would have been the one to have the child with her. Yeah, fangirl feels... sorry XD



UPDATE: The author of the comic herself wrote me a message today, telling how she loved my creation and showing it to her friends.

I had to read the message several times to actually believe it. Then I was freaking out like my cat does for five minutes every day when she runs around like wild. I hugged my Cosplay on the tailors dummy and couldn't believe all this was true.

I mean I made the cosplay because I adored the comic and the plotline it developped. It inspired me to so many fanworks, made me think about it every day for a glorious while.

And now she talked to me! That is the greatest honor achievable. >.< I didn't think that was even possible. *squeals* I imagined I did something and it will be just dismissed with a shrug. But that... was just amazing. ^^"

I want to answer her but I can't find the right words. What do you say? I've got no idea... But seriously this was the best moment I have had in a very long time and I am so grateful for that. (If you have any idea what I could answer please tell me because I am sure I will sound like a total idiot on an overdose of Redbull XD)
