On a site like the 405th.com, users are sur­rounded by incred­i­ble tal­ent wielded by vision­ar­ies, some pro­fes­sional, most ama­teur. One of these vision­ar­ies, {Cor­tana, has attracted an awful lot of atten­tion lately, every bit of it well deserved, by pulling off what the com­mu­nity seems to have agreed (and I con­cur) is the best Cor­tana cos­play we’ve ever seen. Start­ing from scratch after an ini­tial let­down of being sent the wrong color suit, {Cor­tana decided to sew the suit her­self from lycra and then drew the ini­tial details on with a Sharpie while look­ing in the mir­ror. Since then, she and her boyfriend (lucky guy that he is), have been slav­ing away at adding all the lit­tle intri­ca­cies into this amaz­ing work of art. This kind of expert crafts­man­ship, atten­tion to detail, and dire, often crazy ded­i­ca­tion to the art is what the 405th is all about. We’ll be look­ing for more amaz­ing work from her. But words won’t do it jus­tice, so let’s let the pic­tures speak for them­selves. Enjoy.

The makeup really makes this cos­play, so we asked {Cor­tana how she went about get­ting the look.
