Never got around to posting my Watchmen premier costume pics. :D

I went as Eddie Blake, aka The Comedian, five seconds before he goes out the window. :D



I did all my makeup with my on-the-go SFX kit (alcohol-based makeup and silicone for the scar, with a mix of dripping and coagulated fake blood that I put in my mouth and spewed down my face.) It stayed on all night, which was great, since I was in this costume for about 8 hours total. Even the black I put on my teeth held up!

And yes, I did walk around NYC in a bathrobe and slippers (with nothing but chest biding, a wife beater, and my manliest pair of boxers underneath) in the 40 degree weather. All for the sake of fandom.

More of me and the rest of our group under cut. One or two of the pics is a mite spoilery, so be forewarned. I'll put them at the very bottom just in case. :) )

I'm recently back from MangaNEXT. :D

This was probably my favorite con I've ever been to, even though I had to go by myself. It was much, much smaller than any other con I've ever attended which was unbelievably nice. I actually got to meet ad talk to people, participate it panels, have decent seats at all the main events... really, it was a wonderful weekend. I won a bunch of stuff in various panels, and a cosplay award. So it was a very successful weekend.

I cosplayed Havoc (as usual XD) on Friday and Sunday, and as Medusa from Pet Shop of Horrors on Saturday. THey were having a grayscale costume contest (since it was a manga con!) so I made Medusa to those specifications (only black, white, and gray in construction.) I won Best of Grayscale for the weekend with the costume. :D It took forever to make the costume (I made everything: dress, tail, styled the wig...) so it was a prety big moment for me.

Anyway, here's some Cosplay photos for everyone to enjoy. Not great pics, since I was all on my own and relying on the camera timer as a photographer, but I do my best for you guys. <3

Medusa up first... )
And here's our favorite blond lieutenant. )
