Since then some other Tolkien cosplays followed (Tauriel, Dunedain ranger, hunter orc) and I am sure there are more coming. Whenever a piece of the Witch King cosplay was done I decided to make one more, and one more and so it was going on and is still going (at the moment I am working on the maybe last missing piece &#8211; a morgul blade). I love it to work with different kind of materials and for the Witch King cosplay I used a lot: craft foam, carton, thermoplastics, filler, expanding foam, metal, etc.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Name: Victoria Gridley (The Gridler)<a href=\"http:\/\/www-images.theonering.org\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image4-1.jpg\" class=\"no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-100373 no-lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/www-images.theonering.org\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image4-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"image4 (1)\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image4-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image4-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image4-1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Character: Radagast the Brown<\/p>\n<p>Photographer: SnapHappyIan<\/p>\n<p>Bio: Radagast took me about two really fun weeks to complete!

I&#8217;d wanted to do a LotR costume for some time. I built this costume over several months, and hand made the shirt, boots, and fellowship cape (not pictured). I had commissioned leather craftspeople to make the suede vest and the belt. I bought a wig online and had it professionally styled. This was originally a Halloween costume that I&#8217;ve been upgrading to make more authentic. Most recently I acquired a realistic sword and sheath.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Week in Tolkien Cosplay!
