Mostly Halloween stuff, but never any specific character. Cosplayed, no.

Jasper_the_2nd Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 11 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 10 January 2023: Have you ever Cosplayed? Not so far, although I was once mistaken for Bruce Dickenson on the way to an Iron Maiden concert (I miss my hair......) I do have a Heavy Mando helmet printed that will actually fit me, and I'm working on his heavy blaster cannon. We'll see if 1) they ever get finished (the sanding and filling and painting and what not) and 2) I ever get around to printing the rest of the armor.... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inarah Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 4 hours ago, WhiteWulfe said: I'd probably do it again, as that was arguably a "give it a shot and see if I like it" thing for me, but it's hard to say. Cosplaying these days is significantly more involved, and there seems to be an attitude towards those who aren't able to put in thousands of hours of research and work (plus the four hours ahead of time to get ready)... Yeah, I was at a con once where they had a cosplay contest, and I got there early to get a good seat only to find the director of the event in a bad mood. She cancelled the contest because "all of the entries were amateurs". 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparrowMarie Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 13 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 10 January 2023: Have you ever Cosplayed? Yes! I have done...3? The first one was a splicer from Bioshock, the second was a generic Pokemon trainer, and the third was Rosalind Lutece as a "group" cosplay with my brother. I made almost everything from scratch for the last two of the cosplays. I need to dig up more photos and put them somewhere easily accessible... Was very stressful but also fun. I was also a drama kid in high school and dressed up as fun things. My favorite being Mina Murray from Dracula. (Yes, that is a picture of a picture from my 10th grade year book.)

haldir Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 15 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 10 January 2023: Have you ever Cosplayed? Not really, & the only time has been at Reapercon. I went as the Dread Pirate Roberts during one of the pirate themed years. I'm not sure if the Squirrel ones ie qualifies but I've been wearing that one, once a RCon for the last 5 years (minus a couple years I didn't attend). 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I sit around in my bathrobe does that count as the Dude from The Big Lebowski? No. Though I want to make a few character props from movies and games, so learning to sew an entire costume may not be far behind. 8 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 9 hours ago, TGP said: No? I was done re-enacting before I ever learned the word cosplayer. Historical reenactment totally counts... Some day I'm going to get a shirt printed up that says, The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Cosplaying since 1975... 18 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 10 January 2023: Have you ever Cosplayed? Yup... I consider doing Rocky Horror to be cosplaying (see above), and I've done a couple of non-Rocky costumes to wear at Rocky Conventions as well. For the non-Rocky stuff, I've done Hellboy and Marv from Sin City, although I don't have any pics of my Marv costume. I also have a custom character named Eyesaac who's one of Clive Barker's Nightbreed... My old Rocky cast used to occasionally do a superhero-themed show, and I once played Rocky as the Incredible Hulk. For Rocky, I used to have screen-accurate costumes for the Criminologist, Eddy, and Dr. Scott, as well as Judge Oliver Wright from Shock Treatment. I also had a second-rate Riff Raff space suit. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One should be encouraging amateurs to participate, because that's how new blood shows up. Also, they should be asking if only amateurs arrived... Why didn't the more seasoned folk show up? Poor weekend, bad location, bad mojo with the organizer? Etc... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
