Halloween Things




Happy belated Halloween!
Or All Saints Day. .. If you celebrate it.
So that's my pumpkin this year. A Cheshire cat inspired sort of face.
For a costume I was a fairy fawn. I'll be posting a tutorial of the antlers soon.

Sneak Peek after the break!

Ottawa Comiccon 2013


The cutest people at the convention were definitely these fuzzy characters!
I found a Hexadecimal!
I even found a second AndAIa!



Ottawa comiccon 2013 was a blast!

I decided to go with AndrAIa from reboot for my costume this year. The trident was tricky to make but I think it turned out quick well. I was lucky enough to find pants the right colour / pattern and modified shirt and boots I found at Value Village. The accessories (starfish hair pin, belt, necklace, arm fins, leg fins) were all constructed from various craft materials.
Seeing everyone dressed up was a blast. There were plenty of Batmans and Jokers, and I even managed to find a few other Reboot characters. The panels were great, I think my favorite was the Star Trek Improv (The Laugh of Kahn!). There were plenty of great vendors (I managed to find a fantastic digital art book) as well as lots of incredibly talented artists (including Petri Ratanen who makes stained glass sci-fi / comic-book characters).

Stay Fabulous!

Halloween Costume

Thanks to Charlotte for this picture!

The christmas season might be approaching but I'm still in halloween mode! I still feel like Halloween was just last week, and so in honor of that here are some pictures from my costume. I was a Gentern from the movie Repo the Genetic Opera. (Essentially, I was an evil, organ stealing nurse.) I really recommend the movie if you love campy horror films and musicals (...if you've never seen the movie).

I made the mask out of an old binder, and the dress from scratch. The heart i found at a dollar store.
Before and after photos after the break!
