So a few people wished the Ask I posted yesterday was rebloggable, so I made it so!
These are all my non-Marvel comic costumes (omitting the two other versions of Dawn I made). I’m looking forward to adding Balent-style Catwoman to the roster, as well as Witchblade, and Promethea.
I’m just not that into DC. I’ve tried. And I don’t do a costume just for the helluvit - I’ve got to really like the character and the comic!
You can see more shots of each of these costume on Facebook.
I dearly love it, I look forward to this day all year. It’s this Saturday!
Just one quick thought.
I know I say this every year, but a lot of people believe that the comics the comic shops give away are given free to retailers.
They are not. Retailers have to pay…
Yes, support your local store! Buy their wares! I’ll be at Double Midnight Comics in Manchester, NH! Balent-style Catwoman! There will be a costume contest! And a BBQ!

Laura’s Maya costume was a collaborative effort between her and Heather Garry. Heather made the jumpsuit and Laura built everything else. As I said before, pure awesomeness. She did such a good job on Anton’s Mordecai and her own costume, and Heather made a really cool suit.
To see more of Heather’s work, go HERE.
To see more of Laura’s work, go HERE.I don’t normally do heavy editing, but this whole theme sort of called for it - especially the orb of power her character had, or rather, the “juggling” ball that was supposed to glow blue. I had to add that extra glow effect there. Kind of a pain but it turned out pretty sweet. And then we have the psychopath
Mikesneaking around in the back. More to come…
Laura was a perfect Maya! Everything about her outfit - the shading, the fabric, the energy orb - she got it all right. I love it when people get the details down!

Fae’s home made Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2 was super cool. She put together a really good costume. I just wish I got a shot showing more of it. More to come…
Faezorbeamz Tiny Tina made me happy! It was great seeing the supporting characters getting just as much love as the playable characters!

Anton’s home made Mordecai, courtesy of Laura. Mike, who dressed as a psychopath, had a good idea to make it look like baby Bloodwing was being released and attacking the psychopath. Over all one of my favorite shots from the entire day was the full profile shot of Mordecai drinking in the parking lot. More to come…
Anton’s Mordecai was perfect. Just perfect. I loved that he had Bloodwing with him! All my feels.

Mike’s home made psychopath from Borderlands was intense! I know his mask and weapons were made by an outside party, whom I need to obtain info for so I can give credit where credit is due. I will update you when I find out. More to come…
UPDATE: The mask and buzz axe are made by Steven K Smith. You can find him and see more of his work on his facebook HERE.
And you can also visit Steven’s Etsy page to purchase his work HERE.
Mike’s Psycho was SO GOOD! I kept on looking at him and reflexively tensing up a little, expecting him to rush at me with a bomb.

Kearstin’s home made Lilith from Borderlands 2 was pretty sweet. I really liked the extra attention to the cell shading lines on the costume. You can find her and see more of her costuming HERE! More to come…
Kearstin knocked her Lilith cosplay out of the park. I love that the tattoo makeup she chose looks like it’s glowing on her. I think this might be my new favorite costume of hers!
arpokydirectoroflulz asked: Do you own or have you ever fired any firearms? If so, which models?
I do not own a firearm. My dad is a hunter, though, so he’s let me shoot once or twice. This was the last time I picked up a gun:
I’m sure some people can look at that gun and tell me just what it is, but I don’t have a clue. This was a couple years ago.
mirima asked: Do you only cosplay Marvel characters? Or have you, or would you ever, cosplay a character from the DC Universe?
I’ll assume we’re just talking comic costumes,
cause if this included video games and film,
we’d be here for a while.
And though I am a Marvel,
I do like a lot of comics outside the Big 2.
DC comics, try as I might, I can’t really get into.
So I’ve only read Power Girl, 90s Catwoman, and some Teen Titans.
But I will be debuting my Balent-style Catwoman this Saturday for FCBD at Double Midnight Comics in Manchester, NH!

Some more Borderlands fun. Wandering around McCormick place we saw a lot of cool costumes, met some cool people and just in general had a good time. The large Borderlands group shoot was neat, but all the “photographers,” i.e. fans with pocket point and shoot cameras, stood too close to the group and by the time everyone was ready to shoot, you couldn’t get them to back up. But I also am a little at fault for not packing my wide angle. Oh well. And so ends my posts for C2E2. More to come…
AAAAH! Best group ever! I love Borderlands fans!
I was the BL2/Purple Mad Moxxi.

Also, thanks to Kearstin Nicholson for the cell-shading on the bullhorn, and Jess of The Enthusiasts for the tip jar sign!
