A request, was anyone that hangs around here at Penguicon last weekend, and got pictures of any of the cosplayers? My phone's camera sucks a big one, so it wasn't worth it for me to make an attempt.

This is officially my new favorite all time cosplay photo. The disdain on Grandma's face over having to sit next to Pyramid Head on the bus is so great.

^^ Yes, it was a fad from the 90's early 2000's. I had one when I was younger and trying so hard to be goth. I haven't seen those in ages.


I thought the same. Dude should cosplay a David Bowie next time, it would be awesome.

Or if he wants to stick to comics, he could go as Lucifer from the Sandman universe, as he was based on Bowie anyways!

Well, I guess that's it. But I also have a specific image of a dude in a tracksuit being totally frozen as a stinger, like at the end of some 80s kids movie.

Perhaps Misfits of Science? It had the Ice Man character in it...

That guy's tail is enormous.

It's not the size that bugs me as much as the placement. Like, it looks like it's too high up his back where it's sprouting to be at all "natural" looking and-oh god why am I debating this??

Again, I really should be spending my time on better things, but look at your own example, the lower area of his tail's base is roughly at the same hight as the bottom of his groin. In the costume, the bottom of the base of the tail is way up on his waist. That's why it bugs me. Almost as much as it bugs me that I'm debating something DBZ related. Oh god, I've been on the internet too long.

Going solely by this image, every little drawn detail on the cosplayer is just close enough that it'd be excusable as the only mistake, but when each little drawing is wrong it all just looks glaringly sloppy.

I'm just gonna assume she's made a deal with the devil, because she sure as hell doesn't look like any 63 year old woman I've ever seen. I mean, I'm sure makeup and good lighting helps but that poo poo's only gonna go so far.

I saw her in person briefly at a con about 4 years back, sans makeup and in harsh lighting. She's a goddamn immortal.

That's the Ronald McDonald version of Sephiroth, the final boss from Final Fantasy VII getting ready to square off against a Col. Sanders version of Cloud Strife, the protagonist.

Because there's always going to be someone who thinks "hey I could do that, but cooler." (spoilers: They're wrong) Not too long ago that picture made the rounds with the swords photoshopped into lightsabres, and some not so witty comment about how "I dunno what's going on here, but Japan is awesome!" or something. :jerkbag:

I made a Bullseye costume.

I think it looks great. If you're able to though, I'd consider redoing the mask if I were you. Lower the tops of the eyeholes, and raise the top of the nose spot. Maybe it's just me, but they're the kind of small details that feel a lot more obvious because of how on-point everything else is.

Years ago I got as a gift a coffee table book on painted cats. Some of them were purely artistic and colorful, some had real patterns on them (like done up to look like a pig for instance) and the commentary was ridiculous because they treated it all like top shelf art critics and that every color choice had a deep, political meaning behind it, rather than the fact that it was obvious that in some cases people just liked painting their cats. It did however mention some cases where it was very clear the cats were aware of their paint job. Most notably three cats painted different colors at some home for disabled kids or something like that. They each had matching bowls to their color, and instinctively knew which bowl matched which cat. That said, they certainly didn't seem to mind that they were a new color. If the dye is non-harmful, it isn't hurting the animal.

Or 1987. Bruce Campbell talked about how painful the all white, GLASS contacts he had to wear Evil Dead 2. Did not report a pleasant experience.

Yeah, after reading his autobio I can't help but mentally time shots before they cut away when the deadite eyes are seen for any character. They're surprisingly quick because those contacts were just absolutely unbearable for everyone.
