Fucking awesome.
27 Jul 2009 ~ 11:07am CB It's always interesting to see the mix of costumes inspired by what's new, alongside the classic costumes that we see over and over again at any event and conference.

I don't think I've ever seen as much GIJoe cosplay, and L4D cosplay is certainly new.

I'm glad that the number of Ledger Jokers is starting to taper off.

It would be interesting to know what inspired an influx of silver-era Batman costumes.
27 Jul 2009 ~ 11:37am _k Snark, that is impressive. But don't they know to use mols on tanks not pipes? Good detail with the blood on Zoey's shoes.

This.

I want to go to comiccon or some con where this is normal, and just walk among these people. It is impressive to see, in a strange, alluring yet sometimes creepy kind of way.

The cons that I main (E3/SIGGRAPH) don't have much cosplay participation outside of vendor efforts.
27 Jul 2009 ~ 3:43pm GnomeQueen That's really interesting. Some of the costumes are so good! It's odd, there were way more people there being Silk Spectre I than Silk Spectre II. I wouldn't have pegged that.

Also...one of the girls in a Silk Spectre costume scared me a little...must lose weight faster, blahhh *throws all her food out the window*

This dude and by buddy Shane (Red Scout) got into it last year because Shane had a blue suitcase he was carrying . LOLz ensued.
27 Jul 2009 ~ 4:14pm Gate28 I've actually got an event this weekend that I'm cosplaying as Alex Mercer to. =P

27 Jul 2009 ~ 11:15pm _k no that was me in the full sized costume. The best place to hide is in the most obvious.
