Mass Effect 2

Jack from Mass Effect 2

A close friend commanded that I cosplay Jack. Strangely, a few other friends independently suggested I cosplay her, too. I shaved my head many years ago for fun, so I suspect whenever my friends see a bald chick costume they automatically think of me. I don’t think I particularly resemble Jack. That was the biggest challenge for me with this cosplay. I don’t fancy myself a model or actress. This cosplay required a lot of attitude to bring the character out. It’s nice to know that even cosplaying as long as I have, I can still feel nervous about cosplay…

Tattoo: Portal Turret

Source: Fuckyeahtattoos

This is a turret from Portal. This specific one, for those of you who have played Portal 2, is the one who escaped the production line.

The life of a turret is simple. They are built, tested, put in a box, removed from the box, recycled, used as parts for a new turret. A never ending cycle. But one got away, and when you find him, he says, “I’m different”. He looks like all the others, but somehow, he ended up different.

The words in the background don’t really say anything, I told the artist to do whatever he wanted, it just had to be garbled and gibberish. Along with the little red hearts, the background was inspired by one of the walls of a rat’s den.

Garrus (Mass Effect 2) costume made by Robert Rodgers of My Wicked Armor

"This Garrus project was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be. The costume has at least 75 LED’s on/in it! But the lighting is one of the things that attracted me to this costume. I especially enjoyed the eye gear. Photos and videos just do not capture how neat the eye piece looks. I think the whole costume requires nine 9V batteries if you want the lights to work for a few hours. Fortunately, the armor is very lightweight, including the massive chest piece which I designed to split into two pieces for shipping and transport. And I am aware that Garrus does not have a tail- I just forgot to attach the butt plate strap before the video."

Aria T’Loak (Mass Effect)

Mass Effect 2 - Biotic powers by Love-squad

Yond as Aria T'Loak from Mass Effect 2. Aria T'Loak was one of my fav characters of Mass Effect 2 . She's Omega after all. It was my first expirience with liquid latex. I'm quite proud of the results.It could be better but first time is a first time...

Garrus Vakarian

Garrus Vakarian (from Mass Effect) by Chris Myles

I hand carved the scars and then spray painted the whole thing. I airbrushed in the scars, details and shadows and hand painted on the "war paint." Visor made of craft foam and a hand cut/heat bent PET strip and 2 LEDs with super glued on Objet(Eden 350) icons.

Armor:
Made from armature wire/mesh, upholstery foam, plaster, and fiber glass resin.

Since this was my first attempt at armor, I tried a hand full of different methods on each section of armor. Method that worked the best was an under form of mesh/armiture with streched foam on top. Mix (1:1ish) Modge Podge with flexable Joint Compound to make thick MP and coat foam. Light sanding, paint and distress to finish. Armor looks hard but is still kinda foamy. For really flexable armor just use foam coated with flexable glue. Light sanding, paint, yada-yada...

Lighting system has 5 channels with 8 modes (no fancy micro controllers, just a hacked LED christmas light set). 59 (49 blue and 10 for the UV face lighting) LEDs in the armor (Hooray 19 hours of wiring/soldering!)

My costume from Halloween 2009, I was Harley Quinn from the "Batman: Arkham Asylum" video game (one of my favorites!). This was my first attempt at a full scale cosplay project, didn't turn out too bad in my opinion but I just thought I would share.

*I am currently in the middle of updating my costume to be more Game Accurate. Stay tuned for a new video of my costume progress!*

Costume made by Rebecca and worn by Tom

Tom made the gun which has LED orange and blue lights. Had a few issues with the fabric as my local fabric store had run out of the right orange fabric so I dyed it. I also ran out of time as the commission was very late and hence it is missing quite a few details.

Leave it to a guy to make certain he's got the biggest portal gun on the convention floor.

Cristina Gomez as Chell @ Anime Weekend Atlanta (AWA) 2008

Although Chell's origins are unknown, she was most definitely among the people present during GLaDOS's activation in 200-, as GLaDOS locked down the facility after her activation, letting none escape, or be let in from the outside.

Taken at KitaCon III - Hilton Hotel, Birmingham

Didn't have a lot of time to take this as this corridor was seeing heavy use sadly, pretty sure I could've gotten the lighting to look better if I'd played around a bit but at least reasonably happy it has a sort of Aperture Science look to it rather than random hotel shortcut corrior

This is a photo of my portal cosplay taking by the wonderful many lemons (nert). The jump suit was modified but the gun and heel springs self made. This is version 1.0 so there are a lot of things I am looking to change but hoping to have version 2.0 ready for expo.

I made the jumpsuit myself. Modifying patterns isn't easy! The only drawback to my first ever jumpsuit is that it's not stretchy material, and because Chell's jumpsuit was so fitting, I have no give. Bending over was rather... difficult since you're trying not to rip the jumpsuit while still trying to pick your things up, while the fabric is not letting you move much either way.

My sister made the leg springs, and her and my dad made a quick but cosmetically alright looking portal gun. It doesn't look too much like the in-game gun because we needed it to be held.

P.S.: We made two (even 4) of everything, because me and my sister were going to have travel portals to pose in since we're similar in build and appearance. The bad news, we didn't get our transportable portals made in time. But we still had FUN!

This is the first costume I have actually made. I love how the braces came out and the costume. Not a huge fan of the gun, but for a first attempt I'm not too disappointed. Yes that is a companion cube purse. Made by my friend!

My fingers are still numb from carrying the gun, and I have third degree burns from gluing the heel springs to my legs. It was sooooo worth it.

I love getting tapped on the shoulder and then turning around to find Chell and an adorable fuzzy companion cube. We had fun chatting about how much we're looking forward to Portal 2.

Great cosplay :D
