I finally got around to completing this costume. I ended up re-making the cream skirt because I noticed one of the panels was a different shade to the other. It may not have been obvious, but ever the perfectionist, I couldn't leave it alone. 

My hair was finally long enough that I could style it in a similar manner using a hair doughnut.

Convention: EB Expo 2013

Convention: EB Expo 2013, Ubisoft Booth

This was my first interstate convention and I debuted The Puppeteer after furiously trying to finish it in the hotel room in Sydney. I drafted the jacket pattern myself, and made everything except the belts. The potion bottles were resin cast and I styled a wool felt hat base into a tricorn using hat wire, lace and bias binding.

I was lucky enough to grab a photo with Michael Hampden, the senior game designer of ACIV after the Sunday Q&A session before he had to rush off to catch his flight.
