Wow that turned out really well. And I feel you on the being creative part.
How did the other one turn out?
Thank you! I ended up not costesting Nissa though. After looking through my cosplay stuff I realized I didn't have as much stuff that would work for Nissa than I originally thought.
Ahh I got ya. When do you think you will be cosplaying during the con? I know I will be saturday. I'm not sure if your OK with me hanging out with you but I would love to get some photos together if you are cosplaying
I'll definitely be cosplaying Jace on Saturday. Bought material for his cloak today and raided my closet for more pieces so I think he'll actually look pretty legit lol I might cosplay Sunday as well but it all depends on how I feel. Usually I just do something comfy and casual on Sunday. And I don't mind if you hang out and I'd love to get pictures with you too! I'll be walking around with my husband and his cousin but they're pretty chill and shouldn't have a problem with a plus one.
Nice. And I might be with my husband at some point xD lol every time Iv gone to pax with him he always finds a way to wander off. Lol. But yeah I feel the same way about Sunday. Most of the time my feet can't take 2 days in a row. But Yaaay photos! We will look awesome. Is your husband cosplaying?
Yeah I can understand that haha they might wander off too but usually we tend to stick together for the most part since you can get lost pretty damn easy at PAX! And yes! I'm excited for photos! Liliana is my second favorite Planeswalker! And Jace and Liliana have history so that'll be fun haha
Haha same, Ahh I had to bring part of my cosplay to work so I can work on it during lunch. XD I'm running short on time lol
Oh geez, I've been there haha but unfortunately the bulk of my cosplays usually consist of sewing which I unfortunately cannot/will not lug all that stuff to work with me. XD As for Jace, I have all the pieces for his cloak cut so I just need to sew them all together tonight when I get home from work. Thankfully I don't work tomorrow so I'll be spending all day making appliques for all those white symbols... RIP my sanity...
Haha have to sew once I get home as well. I'm making my leg armor and paint my head piece at work.
I see sleep deprived in both of our futures.
Oh dude, Sleep Deprived is my middle name! I do my best work under pressure. 99.9% of my cosplays are made with stress, exhaustion, and a pack of Red Bulls. The other 0.01% are the cosplays I actually started months in advance haha! But deciding what to cosplay a week before con is definitely a first for me. Thanks for that btw lol I didn't consider cosplaying a Planeswalker until you mentioned something. XD But if I find that I enjoy cosplaying Jace, I may actually make a more accurate version for next year.
Haha sorry about that, but when you said you were thinking about a MtG character I had to make my move. XD and yeah that's how I finished many of my final's papers .
But thank you for making all the effort ^-^ I'm very happy my Liliana will have a Jace
No need to apologize! I honestly had no idea who to cosplay. When I mentioned cosplaying MtG I was just going to do some randomly thrown together elf or something since a week before con wasn't enough time to make something as complex as a Planeswalker or other notable character. But when you said you were cosplaying Liliana I started thinking that I may actually be able to pull off Jace. His signature piece is the cloak so as long as I make that, the rest I don't feel so bad about if it's not accurate. As long as it's blue and flowy, it'll work haha! And the effort will be worth cosplaying my favorite Planeswalker with my second favorite! Angsty telepath and devious necromancer, here we come!
All I can say to that is. "Muwahahahaha!"
Totally! What day are you going? ^-^
You can cosplay from anything, but as it's has been said before, just don't expect to be stopped for pictures as often as a video game character.
It's all up to what you are comfortable with, I am doing 2 cosplays from comics and Doctor Who because I don't have a game character but I have never been to a con without a cosplay.

okay, thank you! I'm just asking because I cannot afford to cosplay anything else right now, and I love wearing the cosplay as much as I can
Same with me! This hobby takes over my life and my wallet, but I love it

I don't miss college at all but I still remember how it's done. Red Bulls and Mountain Dew! And power naps! Gotta buy some more iron on adhesive tonight but otherwise Jace is coming along slowly but surely. So many iron-ons!! @_@
Haha I'm having the same feeling but with painting. I'm having to borrow a friends sewing machine because mine decided to die last night. Blah. We can do it
Oh noes! RIP sewing machine...
Yeah. But it was super old and cheap. The next one will be much nicer
Well that's not too bad then. I just bought myself a new machine a couple months ago for my birthday and I'm so happy with it! My old one was a 1970s Singer from my great grandma and it still works great but it only did basic stitching. I needed something a bit more for cosplay work. Good luck friend!
Oh. Not sure if it's something you want do but Saturday night I'm going to the bioshock party. I have a little sister cosplay as well. But I have a splicer mask if you were wanting to go
I've actually never played Bioshock. I think my husband played the first one so I vaguely remember the premise behind the game and I'm familiar with what the characters look like. The Splicers are the ones who wear Masquerade style masks right? Like a bunny and a cat are the ones I remember. I have a white button up, black sleeveless vest, and tie that I could use to complete the look. I wouldn't mind going but it's up to the guys I'll be with since we're planning on all taking one vehicle. We might take two but it hasn't been decided yet. Not sure how late they wanted to stay in Seattle. I'm the night owl who likes to party so I'm totally down for any kind of party but my husband and friend, not so much haha
Haha OK. Well I'll bring it with me and then we can talk more about it when we meet up tomorrow. And I'm in a great mood. I just got an extension at work and I'm all Yaaaay. And my cosplay is pretty much done
Ok sounds good. I'll bring a change of clothes as well just in case.
That's good to hear. I'm in a pretty good mood too. Today started off kinda wonky but it worked itself out in the end. My cosplay is almost done too but I still foresee a late night ahead. It's not so much that I have a lot to do, it's just so time consuming since I have to wait for each section of iron-ons to cool completely before moving on to the next. But it's looking amazing so far! I'm proud that I was able to do it in a week haha! Can't wait to see your Liliana though!
We are on our way to Seattle now from Portland. I have a little bit of hand sewing I need to do once I get there but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yaay

Great work, cosplayers!
I can't leave until 12:30, and I'm about an hour and a half away from Seattle
Wish I had a chance to take more but I spend a lot of time in lines.
If I got a picture of you and you want a higher res RAW file, DM me and I will provide it to you (no charge).
Friday - Cait Sith (FF, but the FFXIV outfit specifically)
Saturday - Mayuri (Steins;Gate)
Monday - Fuka (Disgaea 4)
Thanks!
