Dear god, C&C. I'm with you less than a month and suddenly you've got me taking pictures of superhero costumes and looking through the dealer's room for comic books. I swear. You're like a rash, slowly taking me over

Omg those cosplays are amazing. Who are you guys anyway?

[hackeralastair]

Queen Arshtat and Commander Ferid from Suikoden V. Just goes to show that obscure characters from obscure Japanese RPG video games can still win at a sci-fi con. :D

[hellcommander]

That's so coool

[atoningforsin]

YES!

That Harley is my very good friend Mika. :D

Congrats on Best in Show~

And wasn't the mini Horrible the cutest thing ever? XD

The Tank Girl's BF had a Booga costume but it malfunctioned the first day.

gkjashdk oh god, I think we have like a six degrees of separation thing going here, because she's also a friend of my roommate's. O_O Holy crap! That's why we didn't take pictures of any others...because hers was seriously the best all weekend.

I knoooooow the mini Horrible was adorable. They had him quoting catchphrases too.

[atoningforsin]

Lols. That's why I asked if you'd gone to Cornell - she mentioned that the Queen out of the pair of you was her friend.

I went to the same school, actually. Just graduated. :3

Mika made the costume herself before last years' con. My roommate was gonna do Ivy with her this year, and had the costume, but the Masquerade took up pretty much all of Saturday and she had a hot date that night. She was in the Frankenstein group, as the Bride.

....oh dear god. My roommate graduated from Cornell last year....

Allow me to IM you a moment, we have to catch up to this. XD

OH HOLY SHIT THATS THE QUEEN FROM SUIKODEN V

[hackeralastair]

IT IS!! (that's my roommate)

[zully]

FUCK YES. /huge Suikoden fan.

I've thought about doing Haswar before.

[hackeralastair]

That is such an interesting costume, too, with the lacing and the painted designs on it.

We are both enormous Suikoden dorks, but we get that out of our systems at suiko_rpg so we can do other games like this. I've got her talked into joining C&C in the next app round.

VENTURE BROTHERS THAT IS AMAZING

also yes that Dr. Horrible kid is very cute.

... and definitely impressed with the resin-cast Iron Man suit. Wow.

[oftwoworlds]

.... why would you resin cast all of that.

I get making it symmetrical and all but...

/stares

[hackeralastair]

I don't know - it looked REALLY HEAVY. But the casting was clean, that was probably what he was going for.

[oftwoworlds]

Yeah. It does look pretty darn awesome. I just wouldn't have the patience or budget for that much casting. :0

[hackeralastair]

I'm used to seeing stormtroopers so my first throught was vaccuuformed plastic, but apparently not. I'm with you - that's soooooo out of my budget. XD
