Geek Girl Jillian Ryan looks amazing mixing two of our favourite genres, post apocalyptic & fantasy, to bring us this unique Cinderella cosplay. It's really neat to see cosplays created from fan art, here's what she said about it...

"Some people love zombies, others care for robots and then there is the always popular love for pirates. For me though I have always been passionate about fantasy. Knights, rogue devil with a good heart (Robin Hood anyone?), magic, mysticism, so on and so forth. When I saw Tess Fowler's Post Apocalyptic Princesses drawings I was floored. Many of the Disney princesses reimagined as singular women taking the world into their own hands and Tess even wrote a back story for -each- princess in the animation. Cinderella caught my eye because she seemed different than the others. She seemed lost, a bit lonely and lacked the intense anger of some of the other princesses. Upon reading her backstory of her Prince becoming a corrupt king after the events in the Cinderella Disney movie and being overthrown by his people, Cinderella witnessed him murdered but escaped the palace. She now wanders like a "ghost" forlorn and in a way, lost.

This costume was a -very- intense build. The easiest and most fun part was making the umbrella and all of the charms and details on the bustle (bird, bells and bleeding hearts), umbrella (carriage, mouse, key, pumpkin etc) and all of the ribbon and floral bits in the wig. Then things became far more difficult...

Between distressing yards of fabric by hand, imagining what the front would look like, building a heavy duty wire frame for the bustle and attempting to get just the right wig. After speaking with Tess she gave me the thumbs up for taking quite a few creative liberties and poof! Before you know it, Post Apocalyptic Cinderella wandering Omegacon, carrying forlorn thoughts of her lost love."
