This is possibly Essie’s biggest, most elaborate and most important cosplay. She grew up loving The Hobbit book, even before Lord of the Rings, and long before the films were even thought of. She roleplayed Thorin as a child and his character and personality shaped her into the person she is today. He is not just a majestic sexy Dwarf to fangirl, but one of the most influential fictional characters in her life. In the films, he also happens to have hair very much like Essie’s, so of course she had to cosplay him. But of course, for many years she dreamed of having his “sky-blue cloak with a silver tassel,” as mentioned in the first chapter of The Hobbit. He doesn’t have it in the films, so we designed our own, and while many parts of this cosplay were commissioned, I am proud to say I made the cloak myself, so this is the cosplay for which I finally learned to sew.

We’d like to thank Caddyonherway for her assistance and Watteflocke for choosing the awesome locations at which we did this photoshoot, and we both hope you all love this cosplay as much as we do. All hail majestic Thorin, King under the Mountain! ♥
