I'm thinking of something mostly based on the Riddler from the 90s Batman: The Animated Series. Y'know, this guy:
I guess there's always the Riddler from the recent Batman games, but I'd miss the mask and tie.
Speaking of the tie, I'm hoping to put a bunch of green question marks on a (cheap) purple silk tie. Any thoughts on what type of material I should use? I'm a lousy painter, though I'd rather not have something that would fall off.
Absolutely not. People dress as stuff not from games all the time. Last year, I saw a pretty great Carl from ATHF. I'm actually considering doing a costume for the first time this year, and none of my potential choices are game characters at all.

It turned out really well and I got over sixty pics taken of me. And a veteran Enforce always gave me high compliments whenever I passed by him.
it just takes patience and courage. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just enjoy making it and follow your instincts. Plenty of veteran cosplayers are always happy to give advice, I've noticed.

-Evangeline/Knight Captain Templar armor from Dragon Age: Asunder
-Ginger!FemShep with the Mass Effect 3 version of the N7 armor using mixed materials because some of it just isn't coming together correctly with EVA foam alone
I've also got my Bethany Hawke (Act I) from last year as well as my Hoodie!Shep outfit I lounged around in on Sunday at PAX East so I might utilize one of those as well.
Excuse me while I flail over the idea of Evangeline. I will find you and give you all the love.
Yay! Please feel free to track me down and we can nerd about DA together if you'd like
Have you considered doing a Halo marine instead of a Spartan? Less armor to make and you can easily get pieces for it from military surplus stores.

Bought my 3 day passes at 11:00am yesterday =D For sure going to be there!
Use an old or new military flight suit. Attach a Spartan II insignia patch. then make your own name badge of whichever Spartan you want.
I can send you the instructions that I used to make my foam/plaster arsenal.

Yay, Dance Central! I think I'll be going as Glitch all weekend (I have his crew outfit from last year's PAX, and I just recently put together his alternate outfit) and I'll probably drag my bf and friends into costumes as well, haha
This year, I plan to go as Series 5 11th Doctor from Doctor Who. I had a similar worry to cloudeagle's about going as someone not specifically from a video game.
Still have the patches to work on, the gold watch, and of course the hair needs to be dyed and grown out by the end of August.
I've been wanting to make the communicator the clerics use in Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone, but the closest thing I've done to such a prop was my Spytron 3000 from PAX09 (made out of a cigarette case and some wood veneer at the last minute). It'll be an interesting endeavor nonetheless.
I'm probably going to switch from the League of Legends Blitzcrank idea back to finishing my half finished halo armor set. I couldn't think of any relatively cheap not tacky looking way to make blitzcrank without pepakura files.
Thanks for the awesome ideas.. I have a lot to ponder now!
It's a Playstation Move Shotgun housing, seems pretty safe to me, right? =P
There's also this one as well:
I loved that Quorra cosplay last year. It was amazingly well done.
I have no tips for your AC cosplay, but that charie is freaking hot. I'd love to see cosplay of that.

Also Last year at PAX Prime 2011... one enforcer basically said my Halo 3 sniper rifle looks to real and have to be put away. this is after I walked by like 10 enforcers which they thumbs up and as well as 1 police officer. just sharing this experience, since i just comply and took it back to the car... that thing was to heavy anyways lol.
this year i'm prepare, have the right prop that won't trigger any problems.
also suggestion for props if you don't have time or can't detail a prop there are always those Rubber training weapon which are bright colored.
i think these should be ok if not then my bad don't get them lol. Amazon.com sells then they run in the hundreds and the hand gun they are around 20-45$.
this is what they use at the police academy for training.
my costume if you guys see me: Leon S Kennedy RPD uniform, Halo ODST and Maybe... i'll bring my Robocop like last year... but most likely not because someone last year was being a jerk decide to step on my piston and broke it all because I said i couldn't stand for a picture but you can catch me around after i finish my lunch. (had reservation at cheese cake.)
hope some of my info up there helps.
Oh well, maybe I'll reuse my old STALKER costume as a sort of last hurrah for it since STALKER 2 has been canceled.

That's kewl! hope it's something good. I should I have linked this earlier with my post but here is what Sakura Con policies looks like as far as the props policy: http://sakuracon.org/aboutus/policies.php (have to scroll down to AA. Weapons section) I this would help you guys get some idea too. can't wait to what universal policy you guys come up.
I'm also cosplaying Bethany Hawke
^_^ Can't wait to finally meet you!
and
I did Quorra last year as well at PAX ^_^
Alright, thanks for letting me know before I get them! =)
Guess I'm going with just my fists...
As for my own cosplay talk to add in here, I wonder how many MMO people like to partake in the world of Grand Fantasia... I'm planning on doing a rendition of my Ranger in the Windtracker armor set. Maybe even make a plushie of my Sprite for a prop rather than bother with weapon props. Wouldn't even know which ones to make at this point. x.x
This is just the image from the wiki, but here's the Windtracker armor for females I intend on making:
ah thanks for clearing that. I had a misunderstanding there. thanks!
And I will be going as Carth Onasi.
Sweet!!!! Which version are you planning on doing? We'll have to get a photo together! I'm still on the fence about cosplaying 3 days in a row but it doesn't need repairs or anything so it'd be easy to do short notice.
Mine looks like this just in case so you'll know who to look for:
I remember you
This is my Bethany
