Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I went as Lilith on Saturday, I heard you were there another day and was super sad to have missed you! I wanted photos with any other Borderlands cosplayers I could find, which did not happen.
If that was indeed me, thank you! I had to hand color that wig with Copics. It was a PAIN, but worth it. <3
Lastly!! If anyone has any photos of me, please share! Again: I was Lilith (The Siren from Borderlands) on Saturday. I've found a few, but I am greedy and want more! ;3
I. LOVED. YOU. You make me want to do the Cougar Nidalee so badly. I have one photo of you!
But I kinda wanted to do PAX JAX and PAX 09 TF and I will be wearing my Halo armor so idk how I'd also do shaco.

If you have the time to create both (start now! lol), you can always wear one for 1 or 2 days, the other the last day. I used to do 2-3 costumes for each Sakura Con, wearing a different one each day. I'm going to start working on my Blood Dragon ME2 armor soon and then try to crank out either Woad Ashe or Cougar Nidalee. Go, go multi-costumes!
That said, I DEMAND YOU DO SHACO(S) OR PAX JAX.
MF is fun, squishy but fun.
Not sure about PAX Jax because the skin is kinda too Cardboard Samurai and not LoL enough
Problem with doing shaco is I'm kinda sick of working with Fabric TF was hard.

I saw you guys one day, but unfortunately you were crossing the street towards the Sheraton while we were going in the opposite direction to the convention center. With so many people around I couldn't get a shot. D:
Your costumes were freaking amazing though.
I dunno. As a cosplayer, it's flattering to be stopped all the time. It's part of the reason I do it.
I think it would be cool still to have a meetup of some sort, and both cosplayers and photographers would know that that is a good place to be to get pictures/see other costumes/etc. I think no matter what, though, aside from them banning all photographs within the convention center, there is no way to avoid having photos taken.
I mostly cosplay because I like the challenge of creating the costume and representing the character, so I'm flattered, too when people like my costume enough to ask for a picture, even if that isn't the main reason I do it. I know not to go in costume if I actually want to get somewhere without being stopped, and I think most of the cosplayers are the same way.
So in short, cosplay photo area or not, photos are still going to happen around the convention, though it still might be a good idea, just for fun!
Be the very best. Like no one ever was. http://paxpokemonleague.net
I suggested this very thing. I was thinking of just an out of the way spot in the corner of the queue room that was setup all weekend with good light and a neutral backdrop. We could all still walk around and have people stop us (which I like too) but this would just add to the fun.
I also suggested a "fashion show" or "costume review". No contests because then people wouldn't think their costume was good enough or something dumb like that.
Basically it looks like a giant action figure box and you stand inside of it. Maybe something like that but a box of a video game or mini fig and you just insert yourself for photos.
It was my first time cosplaying which turned out to be a blast. Also first time to PAX so there was a whole bunch of new and not a lot of thinking about using my camera >< The costumes of everyone were very impressive, there was a lot of detail in most.
Thanks all!
