I am continually surprised by the number of different costumes I see from League of Legends. The game must feature dozens of characters. Anivia is one of them; the creature is a cryophoenix and a champion in the game. Given Anivia’s icy powers and abilities to create blizzards and walls of ice, it seems like the creature would be the perfect companion for Frozen’s Elsa.
Cosplayer RenePolumorfous made an Anivia cosplay for a League of Legends event in Greece last month because she loves playing the character. The fact that not many people cosplay as the cryophoenix was also appealing. Rene spent six hours working on the costume every day for six weeks. She used the simplest of materials to pull it together: cardboard, paper, and glue. She added color with acrylic paints. All the details and shading on the wings is lovely, and the finished costume proves you don’t need to spend a ton of money to make a costume look awesome.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
