RandiLeeAnn as Dani

Dani

Witchblade

Cosplayer: RandiLeeAnn
I've always been a fan of the Witchblade comics, in fact, it was partially because of reading these comics that I started drawing Pin-Up. In early 2007, I began entertaining the idea of doing a Witchblade costume, but at the time wasn't sure how. When Top Cow debuted Dani as the new bearer of the Witchblade, I knew I had to do it.
I contacted a girl I had met a SDCC '07, Ivy, that had done a really nice Witchblade. It turned out that she lived in the same town, so we got together and she taught me how to make it.
I basically constructed the whole thing on my own, with exception of the glove, out Crayola's Modeling Clay. There were quite a few trial and errors, but all together it came out rather nicely.
I debuted it with my friend Ivy, who portrayed the original bearer, at San Diego Comic Con 2008. Unfortunately on the last day of wearing the costume, I busted a piece of the shoulder when I was going back to my hotel.
I have plans to make a second, much more resilient version.
