yeah, i'll try and get some soon. i'll try and finish the legs either tomorrow night or monday. i want it to be done by thursday so i can start to figure out how im going to pack everything up.

[Megaseth]

GOOD NEWS!!!!! A-KON was this weekend. i must say, things turned out badass! The costume looked great and i got some really cool responses. most were good, but i did get the "wow, a cardboard box, thats creative" which i should have responded "hey, sorry im not dressed like Inuyasha, fanboy". i also got the "excuse me, your suit isnt even done. you could have at least painted your gundam" my response "its not a gundam, and it was supposed to be a joke, not a serious costume." the look i got from them was great. i also got to talk to some really cool guys about the suit. they gave me some awesome pointers and complements. they were telling me that i should do some more work and bring it back to show off. they said that will a little paint and some minor details, it could win some stuff. they were really amazed at the work i did and that it only took a week or so. anywho, i'll have pics soon. my friend pat has them on his laptop so when my buddy greg gets them from pat, i'll get them and post them.

[Megaseth]

heres a semi-good pic. i'll find much better ones. and maybe one of our vids

[Chingon]

^ That is a true work of art...

[Megaseth]

[[Zero-S]]

Lmfao. You my friend have balls.

[Megaseth]

and a massive codpiece

[Mr1der]

that's not really massive, it's about average really, but watch out for the paper cuts anyway.

[Megaseth]

it was actually pretty large. it just looks smaller in the pic cause its covered somewhat. the day we left someone in a megazord costume showed up. his was ok cause it was painted, but it just didnt have the same finese my costume did. that being said, expect another thread like this about a year from now. im going to 10 up myself and do an even better costume. it will actually be from a series and be painted.

[krazy skwerel]

Good work sir. You show those damned otaku. man they suck.

[jdmfreak]

Damn! Now thats funny. I remember watching a show on TV about cosplay or what ever its called. There were some really nice costumes. Some examples are Paine, Rikku, and Yuna from FFX2, an Optimus Prime, a bunch of Inuyashas(only 2 good ones), and Ed from Bebop. There were many other good ones, but I cant remember them all. The bad costumes definately outnumber the good though.

[Megaseth]

very true. there were a dozen or so Inuyashas there, like 6-7 Eds, a TON of Rikkus and stuff from X2, BILLIONs of Naruto characters, and of course the furries. oh and C-Hobbits had a surprisingly good turn out. and again, its sad when these people who look nothing like the character they're trying to be dress in skimpy, tight, or costumes where they're supposed to be muscular. I cant wait though till i show 'em up in my next suit.

[jdmfreak]

LOL! I can only imagine the turnout for the Naruto series. Its so popular now. I wish there was a 6ft. black anime character that looked like me. I gets no play when it comes to this stuff.

[I30T]

i say wrap yours in tin foil, megaseth

[Megaseth]

see, i know i could never go as anyone, so i go as something that covers me up

[jdmfreak]

I know I could do something like you did, but I want to dress up. Why couldnt there be a black 240lb. Ninja with an afro??!!

[krazy skwerel]

You could dress as one of the black guys from cowboy bebop. That my friend would be obscure as hell, Like the guy who drags the casket or the one guy who can change his appearance, and you could probly show up those damned otaku. DAMN OTAKU!!!!!!!

[jdmfreak]

The guy that drags the casket? If you dont mind, can you refresh my memory and tell me what happened in that episode? Im quite sure ve seen them all, but I just cant seem to remember what you're talking about.

[krazy skwerel]

It's the ED episode. You know where she goes to find food with ein. Basically this guy killed the guy with the caskets brother. Now he was draging the casket around to put the mushroom man in it when he killed him. Hell you could even do the mushroom guy at a con. The name of the episode is Mushroom Samba.

[Mr1der]

I say you get some sun glasses and dress up as Doc from GI Joe. and just hope no S.A.W. Viper goes ape **** on that ***.

[jdmfreak]

Ohhh OK! I remember the episode with the shrooms. That was funny as hell.

I guess the GI Joe thing would work as well. Tell me that you/'ve seen the newest movie. It was mad nice, but I cant remember the name though.

[Megaseth]

was it the CG one?? i didnt know if that would be any good, but hey, i'd give it a chance.

[krazy skwerel]

The CG one had horrid voice acting and just doesn't feel right IMO. Man james you tell him dress like Doc I say he dress Like The Motha lovin' Road Block:ylsuper

[Megaseth]

AHAHAHAHA, YES!!! walk around with an M60 and a couple of chains on him.

[krazy skwerel]

There you go Jeff thats what you should dress as for the next anime convention. Not only is it cool you will piss off a lot of hard core OTAKU. They'll be all like oh no's it's an american cartoon!

[jdmfreak]

LOL! I bet that's the last thing they wanna see. I believe Id have to go with skewerl on this one. Unless James' got a better one in mind.

[krazy skwerel]

Sorry I can't find a good still shot all I could find was this bust

[Mr1der]

can't argue there, and you can talk in rhymes!

I just suggested Doc because he was kinda funny looking with his damn glasses...

[Chingon]

dress like spawn, or blade..

[Mr1der]

quiet you!

he'll be roadblock and talk about bashing snakes!
