Cosplayer Ryoko-demon has done an amazing job with her costume of Rogue from the “X-Men: Evolution” cartoon. She looks like she stepped right out of the tv. Ryoko-demon made the costume and wig herself. If you get the chance to look through her Deviant Art site, check out the wigs she’s made.
Rlynn, a poster over at Craftster, posted about the costumes her daughter, Alicia, wanted for the 2nd annual Rose City Comic Con. Her first request was Rogue and the second was Wasp from The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
Here I go again posting about cosplay and Star Wars, but this is a costume that you have to see to believe!
Qin, a Togorian (alien feline race) and Jedi master with a dark past. She is blind and her ears have been bifurcated, but she manages to see and hear anyway, as created by Qarrezel, over at Deviant Art. I love how beautiful this headpiece is, and I know if I ever ran into Qin somewhere, I’d need to touch her! There’s even an awesome video that I wish I could add here, but since I can’t, check it out here.
Halloween is but 44 days away, meaning you only have 7 weekends left to finish your costume. Haven’t even thought of an idea yet? Well, allow me to suggest Kerbals from The Kerbal Space Program!
Reddit user awallick has posted a great How-To for these Kerbal costumes that he and his friends created for Dragon Con this year, showing the ingenious process which includes paper macheing over gym balls to create the monstrous space helmets. Click here to see how the KSP costumes were created.
Looking forward to more great costume ideas in the run up to Halloween. Have one of your own? Let us know in the comments below.
Caleb from Hackaday wanted to make his own Thor’s Hammer. But not just any Thor’s Hammer, oh no, Caleb’s version of Mjölnir contains a mini Tesla Coil that packs an 80,000 volt, lightning strike punch.
Click the image above to see Caleb’s video that demonstrates what I’m talking about. The hammer is pretty big, but in a cool, over-sized kind of a way, and would make a great talking point at any convention. There’s also a good video where Caleb shows how he made both the hammer itself and his pretty effective version of Thor’s armour, which appears to have only taken a few hours. Check it out: DIY High Voltage Thor’s Hammer: How it was made.
In my most recent post, I highlighted some of the cosplay from OSFest in Omaha. I thought this clever project deserved its own post – make your own Hobbit Feet! The cosplayer simply took some fun fur and hot glued it to some thongs. Genius! And comfy, to boot!
