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!"

Yes. The ULTIMATE fan art.







don't do it!

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

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

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

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

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.

Rayden wins!

Dude that looks damn good. Keen choice.


Rayden wears sneakers! =p

That took a lot of balls to post bro. You are my new hero!

Kick ass Raiden costume!

I couldn't resist...

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.

Toasty!

That pic is awesome Dive. =p

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

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.

Great costume DE. ^^

Oddly after all this I have an urge to buy the latest MK game. 0_o

Johnny Cage is the leet =p

LMAO Johnny Cage holding his nuts!

Tight cosplay, DE, and yeah, Dive, your MK pictures make me gleeful on the inside.

HAHAHA Good times

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.

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.
