A side-by-side is pretty compelling proof that the team did a phenomenal job at this character recreation
Any Game of Thrones fans out there? If you've never heard of it, think Lord of the Rings except with death and nudity. Back in October of last year I had the rare opportunity to work with a team of individuals who all contributed to what must be the most convincing Khal Drogo cosplay yet performed. Check out their amazing collaborative work below:
From Khal Drené's facebook fan page:
A concept nine months in the making. I decided I wanted to be Khal Drogo for our company's Halloween event. So I enlisted the help of some of the most talented artisans I know to pull this off and to physically prepare myself for the role. You can view the performance here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLxvdz-czO4
