To everyone that saw the BlizzCon costume contest, the Terran Adjutant costume should still be clear in your minds. Blizzard has just posted the Adjutant cosplayer's story of making and completing the amazing costume, written by the cosplayer herself.
I spent a good amount of time simply brainstorming, sketching, and rehashing ideas on how to pull off the right look for the adjutant. Since the robotic effect is dependent on the illusion of an incomplete body, I decided to base all the individual pieces in black and attach the robotics to them, defining the body parts with an armor-like chassis and festooning the exposed areas with wires and circuitry to disguise my real limbs. The top is a spandex/lycra dance unitard and hood, decorated with a variety of materials including actual wires and cables from deconstructed computers and televisions, Rexlace (flat plastic tubing), and tubular crinoline (woven expandable tubing). The bottom is a modified hoop skirt with a flat front panel, made from theatrical backdrop fabric. The skirt is covered in what essentially amounts to junk -- phone faceplates, television monitors, telephone wires, and copious amounts of tubular crinoline and foam caulk saver.
You can see the whole article here, as well as work-in-progress shots of the costume.
