EH_STEVE Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Local sci-fi con was this past weekend. It was a blast, even though I went to barely any panels (fan run or otherwise); made sure to attend Pokemon Bingo though! Day 1 and 3 I went in my Deku Link cosplay, and Day 2 I went as Jason Voorhees from Part VII. I entered Deku Link as my first ever contest, they ended up bumping me from Novice to Journeyman (it goes Novice > Journeyman > Artisan > Master) and I won second place! My neck and shoulders are killing me as the Deku head weight 18.6 lbs and I posed for like a hundred pics (including a free professional mini-shoot; pics later; and an interview for local news). And since my main pose was looking at my flower I was tilting my head downward a lot putting a lot of neck strain. Worth it though. Every time. I loved the reactions and appreciation of 2 months of hard work, posing with the young and old. I didn't take many pics, but my fiancee did take a few, so here we go. I'll start with the ones of me and/or the missus, then of just other people. Fiancee day 2, her take on a Harley that a lot of people started referring to as "wild west Harley" - not shown, there's a gun in her garter (she did Dr. Harleen Quinnzel on day 1, but I didn't take a pic): Fiancee day 3, Pikachu. I don't have any pics of her with her sunglasses off: Me on Day 2: Me on Day 1 and/or 3: Pics without me in it: An awesome Venusaur dress The Ernest family Contest winners: A mingle of Tingle: Winner in the Artisan category, her Trico is a puppet she controls with her right arm, full head, eye, and mouth movement.

EH_STEVE Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 A music video one of the local groups always makes showcasing a bunch of cosplays off. I make a brief appearance in it: "Casual Trash" Kirbys 1 Quote Link to comment
