ideas on the con and the first day--then the second.

Mar 25, 2011 18:40

The problem i'm encountering lately, is that at a Con, i think you only have time to display at the most two to three costumes.

And that is because you must stick to one costume a day.  I'm wondering a little about this, and i was hoping to get the other cosplayers in on this.

Recently, i  perfected my Tom Baker Season 12 look.  The final of this was the sweater, and maybe later a new scarf, but for the most part he's done.

I debated the finality of a better Sonic Screwdriver, and perhaps one that makes a lot of noise, like a 3rd doctor I modify, but for now, it can wait, perhaps if the group does another run.

This recent All-Con, I packed up 4 Costumes.

4th Doctor
Vincent
Owen Harper
and Harry Sullivan

As you might guess, Due to a panel we had, I was forced to wear Vincent for a matter of 3 hours, before having to change into the 4th doctor for our panel.  I was early t the con, so summarily nobody recognized me as Vincent Van Gogh.

As you might suggest, my Van Gogh Costume is much more effective with an Amy and a 11th Doctor.  Being Vincent of course requires me to grow a beard, which i then must sheer off for the doctor.

So, at recent Con, i was barely in Vincent when I had to rush to our panel. Before the panel, I promised to stay in Vincent until we took pictures.

I was at a loss for the panel, because I  couldn't shave, and summarily the doctor had a nasty old beard on, which I played off by saying. "Time Space Distortion, you'll have to forgive me... me and my fellow Doctors should rectify this soon, but still, it affected the overall look.  Summarily, i missed out in being in some of our 11 doctor lineups, because i was in Vincent gear.

So, rushing to get into my 4th doctor I got into a few shots, and then roamed the con.   I decided at that point to FIND another person to be Harry.  It was too troublesome--premiering 4 costumes.

And the truth is, i think I overdid it.  Summarily, I decided that I would only do two to three costumes a con, based on the number of days I was there. One costume a day.

Love to open the floor on this, and see if any veterans could give me some tips.

BTW. Any chance of a Vincent Tag?
