The Ancient Land

well here it is, the very first wander picture! this was actually one of the first we took.
this costume was a loooong time coming but it's finally done, aside from some weathering which i'm already in the process of. i'm really, really glad it's done x_X it was an insane amount of work.

about the shoot:

this shoot was at bok tower in lake wales, florida with beth (gapple photos). i chose the location because of its tower. it's the closest i think i can get (at least in florida) to something like the one in the game. the garden was beautiful too!
but... it was the most grueling photoshoot of my life. it was extremely hot and the costume didn't help. it doesn't breathe at all. thank god beth and her mom brought more water because i went through my water bottle really quick! 3 hours later we had some great pictures, but i also had really bad blisters and about 25 ant bites on my feet from accidentally stepping in an ant pile which itched like crazy the next day, and a painful eye from a dry contact (which got promptly thrown out).
but it was definitely worth it!
