See You at Wondercon!
http://dkarim.com/ws.php Happy first day of Wondercon! I was able to take a test shot before heading down south and here’s a sneak peek of my Nathan Drake cosplay. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that all the buckles, rivets, and paint stays in place! Hope to see you at Wondercon!

Cosplay WIP/Tutorial – Prepping for Wondercon 2013
Update on my latest cosplays! I’ve been spending majority of my time finishing up Nathan Drake’s holster and was finally able to make some progress since my buckles finally came in. I had a couple of failed attempts buying all the buckles and hardware due to size issues, but eventually got most of my stuff from buckeguy.com. I spent most of the weekend doing leather work and can see why people are really into the art of leather crafting. It’s takes…

Ready For Adventure
People deal with stress in many different ways. Besides retail therapy, which I truly believe works, I will once in a while just lock myself in a room for an entire weekend and play video games. I recently had one of those weekends and decided that my game of choice was going to be the original Uncharted. I have been a huge fan of the Uncharted series (read my review of Uncharted 3 here), but had never played the first installment in…
