Both of them do a great job with prop weapons each with their own style. The first one uses wood as the base and builds up from there (check her Death Knight Progress album). The next one uses expanding foam and then carves it and then hardens it.

Cool! My friend is planning on doing Kat from the new DMC
I also think my friend and I are going to try and cosplay from Mass Effect, with me as Jack and her as Miranda.

So I made that TF2 group a while ago, but no one's in it but me and a few friends. Is it just too early for people to be looking, or am I missing a step in the cosplay group process?
"Pictochat? No. Dicktochat!"
maybe its early? tickets haven't been sold yet so there's a lot of uncertainty still on if investment in a costume will happen or not. i just hope there's some early warning on when tickets go on sale.
Plus it being a little older by the time PAX rolls around means there's less chance you'll run into a ton of copies of yourself.
Also, does anyone have any experience making large boots/shoes and having to stuff them or add height? The boots for the suit require me to have something set-up under my heels and I'm not sure what would be a good material to place there. I'm building the armor out of 1/4" foam using the Pepakura method so I know I'll need something sturdier than that to help keep the boots together. Any suggestions are appreciated!

And as you do more cosplay and meet more cosplayers, you get more comfortable testing the waters and getting more creative.
My first cosplay was modifying an old flight suit of my Dad's tro make Halo Spartan fatigues. Now I'm working on a Cerberus Phantom from Mass Effect 3. You just take your time, do what's comfortable, and know there are a lot of us out here willing to help.

Well... my boyfriend and I did, haha. I hope our neighbors didn't hate us. We only did the loud stuff in the middle of the day on our little landing and cleaned up well. Hot glue and sculpting can easily be done indoors. We also considered sanding by hand at a park, but we never went and did it. If it's not a large piece, you could try that too. You should have seen our apartment last summer... there was permanent layers of newspaper, tagboard, etc. protecting all surfaces so we could get it done. Not pretty, but it works.
Awesome, thanks for the reply. I have a couple idea's ranging from Oleg Kirrlov to a Boomer from Gears of War rattling around in my head, so I am just trying to get a handle on space, materials, and where I can grind/sand the bigger pieces.

If I do make it I will be bringing my Scarecrow crossplay from Batman: Arkham Asylum. I'd also be trying to get my Sima Yi- Dynasty Warriors 6 crossplay done for one of the days. But Scardy would be a guarantee ^^
If that happens I will absolutely be bringing at least my Talia Al Ghul cosplay with me. I am also working on a Red from Transistor cosplay (because I fell in love with the demo at East). Hopefully she'll be done in time
For this kind of dress (heavily patterned print), how to you recommend going about it? Painting on fabric, which I'm assuming would be some sort of polyester blend for the time period? Finding a "close enough" print, and just doing the shape accurately?
I painted stripes on a white t-shirt for my Flapjack costume, but that was just 3 straight stripes, not organic, multi-colored stripes. Plus the fabric paint made the painted areas really stiff, I can't imagine what doing a whole garment would feel like.
I've been debating how many cosplays to set up for PAX Prime this year for a few months now. Bouncing between one to three, I think I've finally settled on two. However, the roster has changed from my original plans a bit.
What was once planned as Lady (DMC4) and Shion Uzuki (Xenosaga I) is now changing to be Lady (DMC4) and Meryl Silverburgh (MGS4.)
It looks like we're going to have a full Metal Gear Solid group going as well! We'll see what the coming months bring us though!
Hoping to cosplay Friday and Saturday.

Our current ideas are:
Godot (Phoenix Wright) and I guess Mia (not sure if modern or past version)
Guybrush Threepwood and Elaine (again not 100% on which versions)
Sasha Nein and Milla Vodello (Psychonauts)
F2p Spy and BLU Scout's Mom
The last one I'd love for him to just do a RED Spy but it's nigh impossible to find an actual red suit, and he seems quite enamored with playing around with TF2 cosmetic items. I'm also loathe to wear my Scout's Mom a third time without seriously updating it, but we'll see.
Any advice on any of these? I did a quick Google search for Godot's visor tutorials and it seems like there are some easy versions to be made, but we've got plenty of time at the moment to work on things if we wanted to.

Could always try patchwork. Saw someone's cosplay of Milla that said they cheated and use a heat and bond on the smaller details.
