Astrid Cosplay from How To Train Your Dragon 2

Kayoss Cosplay looks wonderful in her Astrid Hofferson cosplay from DreamWorks Animation’s How To Train Your Dragon 2! There’s even a few neat edited photos with her dragon Stormfly! It’s easy to see how she became a New Zealand Cosplay Champion with costumes and props so detailed! I mean just look at that battle axe, skull belt details and pauldrons. The fabric choices work really well too, it looks like she stepped right out of the movie!

Photographer Ben Stevens of Isotropic Design shot these magnificent photos on the Otago Peninsula in Dunedin, New Zealand. The location makes a perfect backdrop for this epic fantasy shoot and you can really believe the dragons flying around behind her.

Here’s what the cosplayer had to say about her awesomely detailed costume; “My name is Kayoss and I’m a New Zealand based cosplayer who really loves making things. Astrid Hofferson from How To Train Your Dragon 2 is one of my favourite cosplays, everything from the fabric patterns down to the little bird skulls on the belt were handmade made by myself. I was drawn to the diversity of materials in her costume which presented many challenges and learning opportunities during construction.”
