Artist's Comments

Myself as Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Photo taken with self-timer in October 2007. This was my second serious attempt at recreating a movie costume [Corpse Bride being my first], and I have to say that it was an interesting experience! Recreating an existing costume is an entirely different ballgame than basing a costume off of a piece of manga, anime, or game artwork. The corset consists of about 12 pieces of leather, all hand-sewn together with leather cording [MY HANDS ;__;], the dress and mitts are hand-weathered and hand-painted, and the necklace is also handmade. You can't see any of them in this shot, but over 70 grommets were hammered into this by hand [the mitts and corset lace on]. I didn't know of the existence of grommeting tools at the time, and my goodness, I could have saved myself a good 2-3 hours! The only downside to this photo of the costume is that I was not wearing my "Bellatrix makeup" at the time. I normally am much more liberal in my application of eyeliner and lipstick when I wear her!

Please no critiques/criticism. I'd like to keep this gallery happy! <3

Great costume! And with a little more make-up you would indeed be able to scare the littler (and maybe even bigger ;) ) Harry Potter fans!

Wow damn you did a nice cosplay of her. Really nice outfit.

I hate Bellatrix though...
:iconcupcake-rufflebutt:
Hahah, she's a character that I LOVE to hate. There are very few villains that I will lump into that category. Thanks for the comment!

Seriously, same here. Yeah, most villains have at least one lovable characteristic, you just have to search for it. XD

You're Welcome, no prob! ^^

:clap:
i think it would be 110% great if your expression looked as retarded as Bellatrix's usually is, but all the same, this is still great :D
