Katarina cosplay Tutorial

I decided to base my cosplay on the official splash art of Sandstorm Katarina rather than the in-game model, as the latter was too simple for the level of detail I wanted to achieve. I sewed and crafted this cosplay from scratch, ensuring every detail while adding a personal touch that reflects her warrior spirit.
