Todd Kenreck: Every once in a while I run into a cosplay that stops me dead in my tracks. And this is one of them.
Rah-Bop: This is my D&D character. Her name is Rue. She is my very first character ever. And I became so attached to her through playing D&D that I decided that I wanted to make a costume of her. My character is a Kenku Rogue who is True Neutral. She is cowardly and a scavenger and follows other people around in hoping of getting some sweet spoils that she doesn't have to work too hard for. I like not knowing what's going to happen next (in D&D). And you have sort of an idea but everything happens with such spontaneity. And everybody is so creative about it. It's a lot of fun. This costume took me about a month to make. But I just did it in my free time because I have a day job. So every time I wasn't working or sleeping, I was making this costume for a solid month.
I love birds and I really like that I can bring what I know about birds into the character. So I am playing as sort like a bird and a person, instead of just a person, which is really fun. The thing I find most engaging about D&D is being able to come up with my stories about my own character and getting to know my friend's characters and have a crazy adventure that none of us ever actually anticipated happening. It's always a really fun surprise. And I think that the enduring fun of D&D is that it's always evolving and you're always having something new happen. And it's always fun.
Ah! I love Kenku and this is awesome!
That is equal parts incredibly disturbing and incredibly awesome.
Thank You Mr. Kenreck for sharing this amazing find. It’s truly astonishing! Then when she spoke and the beak moved too I was simply astounded.
Well done Rah-Bop!!!
She's pretty brave. A lot of D&D fans usually laugh at furry-type hobbies.
Wow, it truely helped me to imagine this race in action. Thanks Rah-Bop!
Thats fantastic ! Coincidental too , just saw a pic of this on Pinterest the day before , then its a special on D&D Beyond !
OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS INCREDIBLE! I love it so much, Rah-Bop your hard work is outstanding!
The best part is the way the mouth of the costume opens and closes similarly to, but not exactly, the way she is talking. It looks more like the kenku mimicking the interview than someone giving an interview. I can only imagine how awesome it would be to see her at a convention.
This is amazing! This costume is incredible!
I've been following her stuff for so long! I'm soooo glad It got noticed like this!
I am speechless. Oh wait, here is something: THAT WAS AWESOME! I NEED A COSTUME LIKE THAT (Though i wouldn't be a kenku)
Wow! That is an insanely awesome cosplay! The rest of her work is amazing too.
Amazing work
I just rolled a Kenku Rogue for CoS last week! Amazing work bringing Rue to life like this. Truly awe inspiring work right there!
This is so amazing! I'm a bit curious about the headpiece too. The feathers and beak look so natural!
You know what the next step for the community is though... the full blown dragon-born from the players handbook!
Wow. That cosplay is so awesome. The facial articulations are wonderful
That's pretty cool. Setting the bar high for my cosplay goals.
