We saw a lot of fantastic costumes on the stage earlier tonight, you can see the pictures here. After both the participants at TG and the jury had cast their vote, the results were in:

The winner is Miriam “Rawarhii” Johansen’s Death Knight from the Warcraft universe!

We had the pleasure of talking to her right after the award ceremony and this is what she said.

- It’s unbelievable. It’s impossible to describe, but I am extremely pleased right now. I’m very grateful for everyone who voted for me!

Of all the costumes you could’ve chosen, why did you choose a Death Knight?

- I really think Death Knights are awesome. This set in particular I feel is really nice and special because it’s different from all the other Death Knight sets.

You’ve spent much time playing World of Warcraft then, I presume?

- Definitely. Possibly too much, she says cheekily.

So, how much time did you spend crafting the costume?

- About four months!

Miriam tells us that she attended the contest last year as well, winning the beginner’s award.

Since you’re on such a good streak yourself, what would you tell aspiring cosplayers?

- Always believe in yourself, and start with something simple. Always work to improve yourself and your product!
