Apocalypse Tribe HQ _ The Apocalypse Bar _ Cosplay

Posted by: DarkEpyon Feb 5 2005, 04:38 PM

At the end of this month I plan to go to an anime convention with my girlfriend. This will be my first, and her second.

I plan on going as MK! Raiden

Why is this here?

As someone on the cosplay.com board once said (and I paraphrase) "Cosplay is the ultimate fanart!"

Posted by: tanshin Feb 5 2005, 05:01 PM

Yes. The ULTIMATE fan art.

LOL!
That looks like Fat Albert meets Pokemon! Seriously though, I give props to anyone willing to do this, and are brave enough to put their pics online.

I personally think it's the dorkiest thing ever, when you have people like that running around, but that's just me.

Posted by: tanshin Feb 5 2005, 09:19 PM

haha...lol! that SERIOUSLY looks like a dildo on his forehead! I can't believe he didn't realize that.

Posted by: DarkEpyon Feb 5 2005, 09:35 PM

The way that thing appears to stick up, I wouldn't doubt it.

lmao. Maybe he did. If not someone should show him (maybe too late) before he becomes the butt of a thousand jokes.

I think that pic is a couple years old. While it's all in fun, some characters just weren't meant to be cosplayed.

Posted by: tanshin Feb 8 2005, 01:22 PM

I think no characters were ever meant to be cosplayed, but that's just my opinion. So I'll keep it to myself...oops.

Hey, DE.
Good luck and have fun.
That is what it's all about, after all.

Maybe I'll save the Shadow thing for another day. Lately I've been hit with the inspiration to go as Raiden. Not the MKD one, but "old skool" one from 1992. Simple enough.

LMAO!!!

OMG... that's too funny! What makes it funnier was when I had that game on SNES, my dad always played it with me.

Guess who his fave character was.

Liu Kang.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Posted by: Mute Feb 24 2005, 06:24 PM

Toasty!

That pic is awesome Dive. =p

Now we just need Bryn to dress up as Sonya. >_>

Posted by: DarkEpyon Feb 24 2005, 06:27 PM

Then Dive could be one of the ninjas. But tan or crush would probably want the honors. We could do pretty much everyone except Goro/Kintaro/Motaro/Onaga.

Well, just got back a few hours ago. I went with my g/f, my sister, her b/f, and a friend of theirs. My g/f went as a punk-rock version of Jounochi from YGO. My sister and the others didn't cosplay. I got some Pocky and a couple Gundam models (Deathscythe and Wing Zero Custom) from the dealers. Seemed like every 15-20 minutes I heard, "Rayden, can I take your picture?"

Then, when we were getting ready to leave, some dude comes up to and asks "can you please sign me?" I was like "Huh? This dude can't be serious." So I agreen and he hands me a sharpie. Half his body was covered in duct tape! He had a bunch of pictures and signaturse on there already. I was like "is there any free space left?" and his friend says "Yeah on his leg."

All in all, it was a great experience, save for the arm/leg wraps kept unraveling. Next time though, time to bust out the tape.

Posted by: tanshin Feb 27 2005, 01:33 AM

The discretionary opinion of this all being utterly fatuous and crass aside, sounds like a good time.

This is probably the last time I'll do Raiden for a while.
