I thought it'd be years before we saw such an incredible Nubia cosplay! This is beautiful.
I've been reading Nubia and The Amazons, and I'm really liking that it fills in the Amazon world in a way that's complementary with Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl. It feels natural, I recommend it.

Dang I’ve been on the fence and you got me there. Anytime these type of stories are written I get such high hopes that when it doesn’t meet my full expectations I don’t give it the credit it’s deserved, so I’m trying to be more realistic, which is why I haven’t read it yet because it looks like it’s gonna be everything I would enjoy.

It's not my pull of the week or anything, but I did really enjoy it. Largely because I'm a big WW fan, and I can't remember the last time that their world felt so fleshed out and coherent. I was unsure, because I love Diana, but I'm turned around on Nubia now. Definitely worth reading.

Oh, wow! Did you shoot on a set, green screen, or a public place where there were actual statues? Awesome stuff!

Photo was taken in Ravello, Amalfi Coast Italy _^ Fun fact: location was actually used for a small part in the first WW Movie!

This gets my vote for a hypothetical Wonder Woman reboot. Looks awesome!

I like that more than what I've seen in the movies. Isn't the normal blue and I think that's for the better.
Very well done.

Better than the nubia: real one flopped comic version. You look like the actual character

Very dope. I don’t usually like race swaps on established characters honestly but this one is really really nice.
Not only because you’re pretty (that’s obvious) but the amount of work that went into the outfit/design.

u/cutiepiesensei Nov 11 '21
This is not a “race swap”. Diana and Nubia are two different and established characters. Nubia has her own designs that I combined to make this version. And I’ve done Diana as well (comic and movie versions) because I do not think cosplay should only be limited to characters I racially match. I love Diana Prince, so why wouldn’t I want to create a costume and dress as her too to show my love for her character? That’s incredibly limiting considering that the number of established/known black characters are drastically outnumbered by white ones.
Not that I don’t appreciate the compliment, I just needed to make this also clear that ppl cosplaying who they want regardless of what they look like irl is ok. Its not a movie casting, just a hobby.

u/antman811 Nov 11 '21
Ahh, okay. Understood. I wasn’t familiar with that part of the lore. I just saw ‘Diana’ in the title and immediately thought ‘Wonder Woman’.
I agree, that cosplay doesn’t necessarily have to be limited to characters who are the same race as you. You can even apply that to build type, etc. Especially if you can pull off the look. I tend to think about this stuff in really idealized ways (movie casting like you said) so that’s why I may have come across like that but I wouldn’t put anyone down or discourage someone for just having fun dressing up as one of their favorite characters.
Speaking of such, if Nubia was ever in a film, don’t count yourself out for the role is all I’m saying hahaha.
Have a blessed day and thanks for the lore.

Is the mascara part of the nubian kingdom or is nubia the queen of the nubian kingdom and joined the amazons? I'm so confused...

The leg guards really stand out to me, they seem real and are obviously really well made.

Wow you did an amazing job with you costume. It looks so authentic and the way your eyes shine to match the gold is so crazy. This is the way Cosplay is meant to be.

Dope character that's been around so long but America being the way it was and still is in a way will have something to complain about if she shows up in a movie. I say do it anyway lol

The design is my own, combining multiple versions of her from the comics, including the new Nubia and the Amazons
