Dragoncon and cosplay

Nov 15, 2009 19:44

It's November! Time to start thinking about.... Dragoncon!! Hahahaha. We're going back obviously, and we've already started hashing out ideas for costumes and also room reservations. Concerning the latter, apparently the host hotels are already sold out? A lot of people are of the opinion that this is due to football fans stealing room rate blocks, as this is ~months~ before they've been sold out every other year. We've got one Hilton hotel room and are on the list to hopefully get another, just in case we need it. I'm really hoping we do since I know of at least 7 people who are confirmed to go; so let me know early on who else out there definitely/probably needs a place to stay!

Cosplay-wise, I'm 99% sure we'll be doing a steampunk zombie hunter group, among other possibilities like steampunk 9, Venture Brothers, and Young Avengers. We had a ballistic mad design session today over brunch, with the results below. I love costume designing so much. XP





Dan's costume. Weapon: the Osteotome, the original 1830s version of the chainsaw. Armpiece closeup.



Scone's costume, with blood-stained croquet mallet.



Eve's costume, weapon design forthcoming.



Potential, in progress version of my costume. A captured zombie that the team is toting around.

Extra doodles:







Anyone else interested in joining the team? XP
