You also know you’re looking into Borderlands and at Claptrap too. It’s well worth checking out his Deviant Art profile.

Rule 63 cosplay for Star Wars Day – it’s genderbent Greedo
This clever Greedo cosplay seems like a perfect way to kick off Geek Native’s celebration of Star Wars Day.

Alexandra certainly picked a good subject; I don’t think I’ve […]
