Colony Drop Cosplay looks badass cosplaying as The Duchess of Detroit (The Duke of Detroit genderswap) from Motorcity! These photos were taken on location in Detroit, Michigan and here's what she had to say about it...
"Earlier this year my cosplay team, Colony Drop Cosplay, has the honor of traveling to Detroit from Austin Texas to attend the World Cosplay Summit National competition. The moment I heard we where traveling all the way to Motorcity I knew what I do to do! That night, before I even went to bed, I was planning this costume!
The Duke of Detroit is such a fun villain with his saucy attitude and on-point chav/pimp style mashup, it was the perfect character to genderswap! I though long and hard on how much I wanted to change the costume to feminize it, but wanted to straddle the line between trashy and classy, right down to the rhinestone studded heels! This was my first time really using knits for a whole costumes, and it was really very fun to make each piece. I love getting to put a little of my own design work into cosplay like this!
It was so amazing to get to do a photo shoot of The Duchess of Detroit IN DETROIT! The real Motorcity! It was like a dream to come true to rock this baby down the halls of the Midwest Media Expo, and out on the streets! Errant Knight Photography was a dream to work with and so kind and understanding! By the time we packed up and left, I knew I would never forget my experience in Detroit, and thanks to these great photos, they will live on forever.
Livew Fast, Live Free! MOTORCITY!"
