I'm going to A-Kon this year, and I need some costume advice.....any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
this pic is a bit old, and I've cut my hair since then:
this one is what my hair looks like now:
I'm 6' tall, so I would prefer a non-tiny character!
I've had faye valentine suggested but I don't think I have the chesticles to pull that off....
thnx you guys!

It fits, and no one cares about the size of your boobs except morons and catty girls.
EDIT: Two more thoughts are Revy from Black Lagoon
I just think it would be a bit difficult to find an outfit like this right now.

FASHION ZOMBIES!
SUPER RAD!
POOL PART!
Anytime I have to go to any Con and it's with people who dress up, I throw on my 'bats gear. It's a really easy costume to make. They're also a reference within a reference so you'll get a lot of geek points. You may notice that all the members of the band are men, lot's of women rock the costume too, and it's considered the coolest.
The Aquabats! are a California based New Wave band that dress as their own version of japanese sentai super heroes and fight evil villains in a saturday morning style during their concerts, and have a ridiculously dedicated fanbase known as, "The Aquabats! Cadet Faction!!"or, "The Aquabats! Flan Club!!"
Seriously, this costume will get you TONS of high fives, it could even be considered that any room you'd be in would be considered, high five city.
The only problem would be...how can I put this politely...Alyx is all about the butt, and the pictures you included don't tell us much in that regard. This isn't a pathetic request to see your rear, but it's something you should think about.

Essentially. I'd say the tattoos would be the hardest part.
For paintings in progress, check out canvas and paints
"The power of the weirdness compels me."
Death is a bit on the shorter side, thought I doubt many people would care. You could pull off a good Desire (not to say you look androgynous or anything :-P ), but again that would be a haircut.
I'll be costume shopping this weekend and will hopefully come across some useful costume clothing.
More ideas are definitely welcomed!
Indeed it is!
This will be my first one! Eep! /Excitement!
Alternatively, Ada Wong.
Have fun intimidating the guys!!
i swear to god it's your solution to everything
"bleeding profusely from your ears?" ... AQUABATS
to the OP: just go in normal clothing, and tell people your costume is invisible. mad props for creativity!
most of all, most of all
someone said true love was dead
but i'm bound to fall
bound to fall for you
oh what can i do
If you want easily recognizable, but probably cliche'd, you could probably pull off Lara Croft. If I were you, though, I'd try and find something (anything) else.
I was referring to Robotech which has a improved storyline over the original Macross 8-)
"Less Miriya" is an improvement to you? Get off my plane.
I've been waiting for someone to notice. In addition, I feel that if someone WAS bleeding from their ears, The Aquabats! would cure it.
1) Pick a character that you really, really like.
2) Cosplay that.
3) Have fun.
Rule #1 of cosplay is "Thou shalt cosplay a character unsuited to your body type." Your height should never be an issue because of Rule #1. Hair should also never be an issue, since wigs come in all kinds of lengths, styles, and colors.
Given the short time frame, I would suggest something that can be put together quickly, like Faye Valentine or various Bleach characters. If you are concerned about your figure, you could crossplay (dressing as a male character). That opens up options like Inu-Yasha, L, or Wolf's Rain.
Also, if you are looking for someone that makes costumes, I sew professionally.
The plane also transforms into a robot.
Anyway, tangent aside, everything Tigress says seems good. I'm not much of a cosplayer myself, but I do know a few and that's generally common and sound advice.
As for all the Chell suggestions earlier...you may not want to do something everyone else and their mom's going to do, and Portal cosplay is about a dime a dozen these days.
