Cosplay Sights from SDCC

Here are some of the more frequent (and usually more disturbing) cosplay sights from this year's San Diego Comic-Con. There were plenty of others, but we shan't speak of those.

Bearded Finn - There was much Adventure Time representation at the Con this year. Not all Finn cosplayers were children. And definitely not all of them were clean shaven. Slightly disturbing.

Plus-Sized Slave Leia - Look. If you're going to dress as Slave Leia, you know what you're getting into. Seriously.

Anonymous - Perhaps the easiest costume ever. That doesn't discourage many from donning it, however.

Fat Captain America - I'm not surprised that I saw several of these. I actually DID see one using his shield as a plate, too. Maybe they're trying to make a social statement.

Doctors 10 & 11 - Probably the most common costumes were from Doctor Who. There were SO MANY 10 and 11s that I lost count on the second day. The award goes to the parents that dressed their three children up as Doctors 9, 10 and 11, though!

Plus-Sized Poison Ivy - In the same realm as Slave Leia, but a little trickier because there may be green skin involved. A lot of green skin.

Old Indiana Jones - I suppose old guys think that's really their only option. Actually, a good alternative is to not dress up at all.

Dork Knight

So, to follow up the post below, I received an award for the creativity my masquerade attire displayed. A basket of assorted cheeses. A heavy basket of about fifteen assorted cheddar cheeses. What am I going to do with this?!?! I mean, what is BATMAN going to do with this?

Savor, Alfred. Savor.

I don't think anyone there knew who Batman was. This was evidenced when the award to "Burton Durand, for his creative heathen mask."

Batmâché

Since I illustrated/designed the posters and tickets for the UL Lafayette Beaux Arts Ball, I was able to get a free pass into the event. Since it is a masquerade ball with a "recycling" theme, I went ahead and made myself a recycled newspaper mâché Batman mask. I may make a cape out of garbage bags, as well.

Should be pretty interesting, hahaha. I really hope this mask fits, as the "female model" mannequin head (the only one I could find on such short notice) does seem RATHER PETITE. Ah well, we'll see!
