Lilskaii Cosplay

Hi my name is Sarah but I also go by Lilskaii, I have been cosplaying for just over two years and have fallen in love with this crazy creative hobby that is cosplay! I have been playing World of Warcraft and other blizzard games for a number of years and I love bringing the amazing armour designs from screen to real life, and I have been lucky enough to be a part of the game launch for Heroes of the Storm. Cosplay has become a huge part of my life now and have many great friends through this amazing hobby I would be lost without it in my life. Please feel free to edit what Ive written I am not the best when it comes to writing about myself! I will send over some photos today/tomorrow I need to do a little editing from my shoot from this weekend!
