Oh hell yeah, you’re locked as fuck when you get Maya mad. Have you ever watched the movie Click, the 2006 movie film starring Adam Sandler where he got this very power remote control which can be used on people like being used on a TV? Imagine having the ability to pause the shirt out of this one person you hate and just shit on him or punched him as many time as you want then let him feel the dizziness OR you can pause this one girl you like and you know, maybe kiss her (like hell you’ll just kiss her). Well anyways there’s a character in Borderland who has the same ability as this magical remote control in Click and her name is Maya.
Maya was identified as a Siren and given to the Order of the Impending Storm, the ruling order of monks on her homeworld of Athenas. She trained her Siren powers in secret until she reached adulthood, when the monks revealed her to the public as their goddess and savior. Irritated by the Order’s short leash, she longed for adventure and expressed interest in traveling to Pandora to learn more about her Siren lineage. Maya’s skill gives her the ability to suspend foes in another dimension. This can lock an opponent in a stasis, and can be upgraded to provide various damaging effects.
Our cosplayer for today is WindoftheStars. WindoftheStars or real name, Mel has been cosplaying for almost 10 years already and has build herself a position, image and respect in the cosplay industry. She have created over 80 elaborate costumes, for herself and (surprisingly) for others which originates from movies, video games, comics, anime, manga and from her very own creative mind. Many of her costumes have received prestigious awards and have been featured in print and online publications around the world, and like what I said earlier, she earned her position in the cosplay industry thus she’s been constantly invited as a Guest of Honor, Judge, Booth Model and Panelist at conventions. Her current hobby lead her to become a professional tailor, seamstress at the top tier alterations shop in Northern Nevada.
Not only did I like her powers of phaselocking (or simply, force pausing someone) but I also love how Mel(Windofthestars) cosplayed Maya! She followed this revealing yellow leather suit of Maya which mainly shows her waist and cleavage. I love how the props here were made such as the medic kit and the gun (I wish she also holds my gun) but anyway what I love about this photo is the body tattoos which doesn’t look fake and VERY detailed, I was mainly impressed on the tattoo on the way she was able to apply the tattoo on her cleavage and make it look natural. Another plus is the black outline on her lips, eyes and eyebrow which really shows borderlands’ signature art.
Bringing characters to life one stitch at a time. That has been WindoftheStar’s own slogan in life which lead her to where she is now, known to the cosplay world and tailoring industry. Let’s keep supporting and encouraging her in each and every cosplay she makes to further motivate her in creating and more elaborate cosplay by following her on Facebook, Twitter, DeviantArt and Tumblr. If you’re more than satisfied on the cosplay she made let’s also support her by purchasing her merchandises in her Website.. Let’s also support her Photographer, Subversive Photography for the very refined Photos.
