Me and my friends were floored by all the awesome cosplay at PAX, and decided to make some comics featuring those awesome cosplayers.

Here's the first two.

    Mishap I need tips on making pictures like that. I think I've almost figured it out, but I just cant get it to look like that.

    I put the comic together that Mental posted, so I'll answer this one. A lot of it is trial and error to be honest. You have to mess with the Brightness/Contrast and the Vibrance/Saturation to get the look of your pictures as bright as possible without looking blown out. Then you've gotta hit the image with some Poster Edges and some Cutout effects. I typically hit the image with a 10, 2, 3 Poster Edges first and the a 8, 1, 3, Cutout effect but it varies from image to image. Hopefully that all makes sense! If not, I'll explain in a little bit simpler terms. :)

    I almost lost it when I saw one of the bartenders at the Cheesecake Factory wearing one of those on the first night of PAX.
