[East] PAX East 2012 Costumes
Posts
I'll be going with a Nightingale (Skyrim) on Friday, so be sure to look for us!
My Gears of War armor is also coming along, getting down to the wire with PAX only two weeks away. I'll post some pictures once it's finished!
Oh, actually that's not okay. =/ No nerf guns whatsoever. Otherwise your costume looks fantastic!
@RainbowTunnel you're incorrect. Deactivated nerf guns are fine, if you can prove the deactivation. It's been specifically OK'd by @Tango, he just mentioned that you may be asked to show that it's deactivated.. The "no of this whatsoever" is airsoft.

Thanks! I'm hoping it will be recognizable
At any rate, my fedora has yet to arrive.
I'm going to want to find you on Friday.
This looks great! I'm really excited about all the Skyrim cosplay.
It's probably fine. You could PM @Tango to find out for sure.

@XX55XX - Observe the weapons policy. Pay attention to the one about bludgeoning. If it's a big, heavy "giant D-cell Maglite" type that has a secondary use as an impact weapon, it's not okay. Otherwise, it should be fine.
As I said, can't wait to see all these costumes!
Joking aside, the best piece of advice I ever got for cosplay is: Your costume should match your physique. Being fat and willing to part with my hair, I've been Carl at Prime for the last two years. I can't make it to East, but I'll leave some character-specific wisdom here: Bring a pair of real shoes in addition to the flip flops; you'll want something comfortable when you're not in costume. Also, you'll want to stretch your calf muscles real well before walking the many miles of PAX in flip flops... this burned me at Prime '10. (Hell, stretching is good advice for everybody. Everyone will be doing a LOT of walking!) Costume-store fake gold chains will tarnish pretty quickly - the miles of walking will work up a sweat - bring spares or go with plastic. And if possible, grow a natural mustache. Fakes fall off, and besides, rockin' the stash is friggin awesome!
Thank you TOG! You're cool as hell too!
Great while it lasted.

Aiohda;idja; thank you for the correction. Sorry for the confusion, Thin Red Paste.... well, you have your answer now regardless! : P
We ran out of time to get my bfs jedi done but if anyone else is doing any star wars themed costumes would love to meet up and get some pics
He's probably gonna be bringing his pantheon from league of legends again.

Here's a sneak peek of my Sheik, which is also nearing completion:

PM me or hit up the snack exchange thread if you want Ohio-based snacks!
I need a haircut anyway, so maybe I'll bring a picture of the Medic to my barber and say "just do this".
Seconded. I actually chose last year's costume precisely because I had a mustache at the time.
Either way, still badass.
opps, I suck. deleted!
Are you going to the Trading Card meet-up on Friday? I'll be there!
Probably both days. If not, definitely Saturday. (As long as they don't change the concert line-ups any more. I want to make sure I'm Marle on VGO night.) I'm playing with the idea of Pink Power Rangering it up on Friday.
Yes! Fantastic!
Also Saturday I think I'll wear this for a few hours
Nice!
Ooh exciting
also, there will be a couple others in my group cosplaying. we will definitely have a robin from arkham asylum, an archer and lana from archer, and possibly (this one is not confirmed) a steampunk peach.

Got some more progress!!!! Eek only a week away, so excited. I need hair extensions though. My recent hair trim made my hair too thin in the front to do the wraps Princess Zelda has.
I must find you saturday! Love it <3

Usually i don't like hello kitty, but Ghostbusters = win. Nice work.

I would recommend going to Sally's Beauty and seeing if they have loose hair extensions in a color close to your own hair. They're not too expensive, and I've used them while cosplaying if I need a long ponytail in my natural hair color. If they do have them, buy the extensions and some hair extension clips (they look like little combs). Attach the extensions to the combs either by hand stitching or with hot glue. Then wrap with ribbon or whatever you're using, and clip into your hair. I hope this helps
so I'm not gonna be cosplaying Miror B this year because due to real life I wasn't able to finish the outfit (and I don't think I have the drive to work on it this week to finish). I considered trying to rush it last minute, but I figured I'd probably wear it on Friday, where most of my exhibit hall wandering time will be, and a huge afro (making it out of a big foam ball) would be very inconvenient for walking around that huge crowded space.
So sadly, no one will be graced with the presence of the pokedisco dancing freak. (though if you go to CTCon or AAC I'll probably have it at at least one of those)
as for my cosplay that I'm still doing I'll still be bringing Silver of course (The rival from the pokemon gold, silver, crystal, hg, and ss games)
Without Miror B I'm either gonna be Zoey from Left 4 Dead of friday or sunday, or I'm gonna just sport my wooper hoodie I have so I'll sorta be cosplaying wooper.
I may do both doing one of friday one on sunday.
I'll definitely be silver on Saturday, and then maybe sunday, though if not it will be one of the two stated above.

That's my Silver cosplay and I can't wait to see all of the wonderful cosplays at PAX
