OK, OK, here are pics of me in the costumes I wore at the past several Anime North conventions in Toronto, Canada (usually held every May).
Enjoy... or not!
:
On the right as Perfect Cell (Dragon Ball Z), Anime North 2001, with my best pal as Basara Nekki from Macross 7
Taomon (Digimon Tamers), AN 2002 - My second favourite past costume! It was really tough for me to clomp around all weekend in those giant foxfeet. I won a special workmanship certificate for this one, "Most Mystical", whatever that means!
Dark Sage (Yu-gi-oh!), AN 2003 - The best costume my sis and I have made so far! We both won awards for this one, and I was voted "Most Magical".
Baron Humbert von Gikkingen (The Cat Returns, Whisper of the Heart), AN 2004 - I didn't want to look like a reject from Cats (human face with cat features), so I opted to make a mask instead. The eyeholes are where the whiskers stick out. Thank goodness it only covered my face, if it covered my whole head I probably would've suffocated! Ah ha ha.
Yupa Miralda (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind) AN 2005 - Some annoying fangirl wanted to take a pic of me
licking the tip of the sword. Ugh, no thanks.
Kankuro (Naruto), with "Scare-Karasu", AN 2006 - Yep, I'm the one in the front right, with the puppet head and arms sticking out of the bandages. I did this to make my costume stand out from the other Kankuros I knew would be at the photoshoot!
"Hawkeye" Mihawk (One Piece), AN 2007 - I look like some kind of pirate pimp, don't I ??!
Sadly, I didn't make a costume for this year's Anime North
, but my sis and I are already planning next year's, a not-often-cosplayed character from Bleach!
