Alexa Karii looks seriously amazing cosplaying as her female version of Edward Kenway from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag! It’s wonderful to see a subtle genderbent cosplay that doesn’t over sexualize the female version of a male character.

Here’s what Alexa Karii had to say about her cosplay; “I wanted to share my cosplay of a Female Edward Kenway. I have been a big supporter of the franchise and in part because of the amazing characters! When Black Flag was announced I fell in love instantly with the concept of a pirate turned trained assassin! WHO DOESN’T LOVE PIRATES!?

When it comes to Assassin’s Creed I want to do justice to the character. This means a lot of the sex appeal in a woman is taken out, and a lot of detail in the costuming is put in the spotlight. I have to admit this is a fairly watered down version (detail wise) due to me still being a newbie to costume making but I tried my best to bring the character to life. I did place a comparison image because I worked hard even in the photos to really match Edward and create a believable female version. I hope you enjoyed my work and if you want to see more you can join my page on facebook!”
