So I’ll be doing a vlog about this…sometime (It may be in a week because I GOT A NEW JOB, YEAH! But I’m working two jobs until my two weeks are up, so time is cramped), but I just wanted to throw a few photos up here and briefly talk about how awesome A-Kon was.

So I ended up only doing two costumes: Misa from Death Note and Ranma from Ranma 1/2.

Reference Pics:

Misa

Ranma (The character in full-view.)

Just to explain, Ranma is a boy, but he’s been cursed so when he gets splashed by cold water, he turns into a girl.

My Misa costume was one I just assembled. I didn’t sew any of it and styling the wig just involved pulling the hair into pigtails (I didn’t have the right wig. The one I had ordered for the costume has yet to come in…No idea where it is).

My Ranma costume, on the other hand, was completely sewn by me. Shirt, pants, sash, cuffs. The only thing I was missing was my collar because we ended up needing some time before the con on Saturday morning to actually finish our homemade costumes and I decided that was just something I would have to add at a later date.

Anyway, here I am as each character.

Ranma with Sango from Inu-Yasha and a bunch of random people

I also wanted to put up a picture of Frozen as Hei from Darker than Black because I made a large part of his trench coat and I’m very proud of it, but I forgot to pull the photos off of RazMataz’s harddrive, so I’ll have to do that later. The most awesome thing about completing that trench coat is that I now know how to make on for Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist and I am VERY excited about cosplaying him sometime soon.

A-Kon overall was packed full of people, hot, loud, and a blast. We saw so many awesome cosplayers (Sango up there, for example, is just perfect) and it was really fun getting pictures taken, both of other people and of us.

I’m going to do a better photo shoot with a better camera soon (I just used a little pocket cam for most of these). But for now, here’s one more pic. I’m not in costume, but this was who I was most excited to see all weekened :D

Look for the vlog next week sometime!

Oh yeah, by the way! I went and made a facebook account for my DevilandtheSea online name. If you read this, go add me there (<– this is a link). It’s where I’ll have most of my cosplay photos and other geeky things…like my user info lol. My name there is Devilandthe Sea, if for some reason that link above or to the left under “Dev Elsewhere” doesn’t work. It’s brand new, so I don’t have (m)any friends yet. You should be one of my first!
