(*I stupidly posted this in Community Chat first, so I apologise for posting here too! I was told it would probably be better off here though!*)

Hi all! My name is Donna.

I'm new here and just thought I'd introduce myself by revealing that I am making a Garrett cosplay for next year, to attend events in Manchester and London UK.

There are no pictures yet, but I will upload some once the costume is taking shape, but here are the parts I've bought so far.

-Fibreglass bow
-Leather Arm guards/Bracers
-Wooden arrows and turkey feather flights
-Play food toy apple and cheese in wood

Yes, I'm going all out on this one!
I'm even going to buy some LED light sticks to create a glow in my elemental Gas, Water and Fire arrows.

I will have a belt of goodies including pouches full of chocolate coins, a blackjack that actually squeaks for amusement and hopefully keys and lock picks.

Thanks for reading!
I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on this new venture of mine :)

I have a cosplayisland.co.uk page which will eventually show pictures of my progress and items I have. You can find it here:

You can also see my other cosplay creations on this page, too.

But of course! I'm sure not ALL Thief fans are male are they? Are they?....
I've never seen Garrett re-created before and couldn't wait to try out a cosplay for him.
Sometimes your sex doesn't matter when you really love a character.
I was thinking of cosplaying as Dyan or Viktoria but there just weren't enough costume references so I stuck with Garrett :)

Hi and welcome, when I saw your thread in commchat I figured you'll come here soon. :) Hope you'll like it here, there are some people here who made fantastic costumes based on the Thief games. But I think it has been some time since this topic came up.

And no, not all Thief fans are male. Only, since you're not supposed to be seen...

And can I just apologise again for any remarks that I have said, say and indeed may say that come across as sexist, misogynist and/or chauvinist. Yeah, you do really have to take them with a pinch of salt. Women really are the superior ones! I know I couldn't live without them.

Haha! That's quite alright! I'm not offended and I don't usually take things to heart. I'm pretty easy going when it comes to jokes and things.

I am excited about this project though and have actually crossplayed as men before. I made a Mortal Kombat Scorpion outfit last year and some people actually thought I was male, which was funny, really :)
