In recent years I've been choosing strong women, and I decided back in the summer to portray the strongest woman in American mythology.
WONDER WOMAN!!! XD
Here's my inspiration:

and here's the costume!
(This costume was also an excuse to dye my hair dark.) :o)

eventually I'll remove the halter strap, and the costume will be even more legit. But I was mostly happy with the results.
As for more academic creations, don't worry, I have plenty to share as soon as I get done with this quarter.
