MegaCon 2015: The Best Cosplay, Pt 3

What's that? You're having cosplay withdrawals already?

I AM HERE TO HELP.

Here's 9Lives Cosplay:

...in her armor based on this Sakizo illustration:

She was actually part of a trio, and these other two lovelies are also in Sakizo-inspired costumes:

Here's the art for the one in blue:

Amazing, right? So fun to see art brought to life like this.

I haven't found the illustration yet for the butterfly girl (& Epbot reader! Hi!), but here's a sweet solo shot I took of her:

I had a lot of fun playing with the light on that one.

Moving on to... this guy:

I like how cheerful he seems with the mouth open. :D
Plus Cinderella in the background is just perfection.

(Or that could be Tiana in her blue gown - good catch, commenters!)

An EPIC mohawk on this lady Bowser:

Right?

Another gorgeous trio, this time of steampunk fairy tale heroines:

Snow White, Bo Peep, and Red Riding Hood! These costumes are just incredible:

And Snow White had a cool jet pack:

[Click 'Read More' below for the rest - I'm just getting started!]

Some impressive Daedric armor from Skyrim:

Isn't it fun seeing costumes side-by-side with actual game shots? Takes a little extra time, but I'm glad you guys like it; really helps me appreciate the cosplay more, too.

Of COURSE Jessica Rabbit makes a perfect Playboy bunny:

The sparkly carrot was her purse!

(Arg, sorry that full shot turned out so blurry.)

Renaissance Stormtrooper, I'm guessing inspired by Sacha Goldberger's photo series:

Digging the whole hat-on-helmet thing.

Fiona from Shrek 4:

Comparison:

I just realized I've never seen this movie. Huh.

Anyone remember this guy from Edge of Tomorrow, the sci-fi version of Groundhog Day?

The character, Kimmel, would go into battle mostly (or completely, don't remember) naked in his robot armor suit, which made for some funny moments. I had a terrible time finding a good screen grab, so here's one with Japanese subtitles (?) on it:

Dramatic Maleficent and Aurora:

And speaking of drama, I yelled out "TOO SOON!," as we approached these cruel, cruel women, and they burst into giggles. You can see "Wash" is still trying to hide her grin:

TOO SOON.

(It's a Firefly thing. If you don't get it, count yourself lucky.)

I found Chopper over in the Droid Builders area:

And, hands down, the creepiest cosplay in all of MegaCon:

NOPE.

An excellent TARDIS Transformer:

I'm fascinated by that stellar woodgrain on the doors and roof. What do you think they're made of? John votes foam, but it seems sturdier than that.

 

I want to take this Scooby gang home with me:

SO CUTE. 

Isn't "Fred" the spitting image of Neil Patrick Harris? And I think I have a girl crush on Velma now. (WHAT.)

Here's a first: out in the lobby I found this cosplayer posing... for an art sketch:

The artist was sitting on the ground; that's his head in the foreground.

Not sure on the character, so you guys will have to help me out.

[Update: K, I'm told she's a "female version of Kotal Kahn from Mortal Kombat X." Thx, Liam!]

This one, too, which I first thought was Bumblebee - but it's not:

[Update: And he's Cyrax, also from Mortal Kombat]

At least I know my Disney movies! Here's Lottie from Princess and the Frog:

And Bellatrix and the Doctor, joining forces??

NooOOOOoo!

(Check out the nifty lens flare from his sonic screwdriver.)

Stunning Ursula is stunning:

 That skirt!! WOW.

These two were too cute:

Looks like they're steampunk/Victorian versions of 2 characters from League of Legends:

(Update: That's Zombelina Cosplay as Heartseeker Annie and Juliebug Cosplay as Jinx.)

I think I saw four different Groots at MegaCon this year, though it was hard not to mix them up. This one did something kinda unique, though:

He added one of those light-up LED branches to his arm, to simulate Groot's glowing seeds. Pretty!

The best part of this photo was watching the 3 Hogwarts students FREAK OUT when they saw Hagrid, and go tearing across the hall to reach him:

:D

In my first MegaCon post I promised you guys a Motorized Patriot from BioShock: Infinite. Well, here he is!

AW YISS.

Comparison with a licensed figure from the game:

He even had the back mechanism with wheels and such:

And while we're talking BioShock, here's a gorgeous Elizabeth:

I've been trying out a lot of new angles lately - can you tell? I like this one and the Daedric armor especially. Hopefully none of them make you feel too dizzy, heh.

TARDIS Deadmau5 and Ducky Momo:

Ducky Momo is from Phineas & Ferb, and makes me ridiculously happy. 

(If you haven't seen the episode where Candace goes to a con dressed as Ducky, DO.)

I don't watch Game of Thrones, but I hear some people don't like this Joffrey guy?

:D

Well, no worries; adorable sleeping Rocket balanced on his dad's head is here to make it ALL better:

Tell me you didn't just melt into a cooing puddle from teh cuteness. TELL ME.

(He really was sleeping, too. The costume head his dad was carrying looked pretty impressive, but I gotta say, I think I'd take this shot over him in full costume anyway.)

How many times did I call this poor, sweet cosplayer "Figment?" AT LEAST THREE.

Later on my friend pointed out she's actually Spyro, and I felt like a massive idiot.

Oops. 

On the plus side, I think she MIGHT have made her wings using my foam tutorial! Right? Maybe? Oh, just give me this one, guys.

And finally, a sweet little Spider-girl who was SO HAPPY to finally get her fingers into the proper web-slinging position:

Look at the triumph in her eyes! Ha!

 I should only need one more post to finish up MegaCon, so watch for my final batch in another week or two.
