Wehehel, I'm actually surprised this thread only just came into existence, I mean, considering how creative everyone here is there would definitely be some amazeballs cosplays about right? (answer is totally yes). I checked out the
Laufey video and I am so freaking impressed, both by the costume and by the little skit. I mean, the song choice is so perfect and the outfit is bang on, seriously who knew camping mattresses would look so much like armour ??? No wonder you ended up representing Iceland ^_^
Ana Nymus - Finland balloon is actually somehow perfect? I actually laughed out loud when I looked under the spoiler
Martti - You actually make a really good SATW Finland, as that's a pretty impressive and scary kill-face you've managed to conjure up, and let's face it, the expressions is half of the costume. I can't say much about the Hetalia stuff because I'm not familiar with it, but it looks like you had a lot of fun at the con, and I manage to recognise the where it was from before reading the comments so you must be doing something right
Okay, so there's a thing where i'm not too sure where the line between cosplay and regular costumes stops, but I've a series of embarassments I'm willing to have people laugh over, and maybe one or two where I don't think they're too terrible
Here we go
Princess Mononoke - my first "cosplay" attempt when I'd just started at uni. It was pretty bad but I still like it, feel free to laugh mind, it was basically a modified pillow case and some extra bits,
[spoiler]
Dragon Kid - Still proud of the ear things, even though it was never actually properly finished. It resulted in all the other cosplaying people getting pictures taken wearing it over the course of the night so I've some real happy memories associated with it ^_^
Toph - +10 badass score when you wear this costume
Pabu (from Legend of Korra)
Lemongrab - actually my brother wearing it (getting my brother into cosplay is 100% a miracle), but seeing as I made the entire thing and you can't see his face, figure it should be okay to post it.
Halloween (soon after watching the book of life
) - flowery dead Gwenno ^_^ I designed the patterns all myself and really liked how it looked, although it was definitely a lazy ass costume decision
Astrid HTTYD - definitely my favourite, debatably best cosplay. I had no idea who to cosplay for Geek Bop (a dance organised by the sci-fi/fantasy/anime/gaming societies at my uni and the reason for most of the above) and was stressing a bit when my mum just tells be to go as Astrid because she'd basically me anyway and I was like
because it was just such an obvious choice once it was pointed out...
