MOCs, Assassins, and Emerald City Comicon

So, Emerald City Comicon was AWESOME. I would've posted about it sooner, but I have been stupid busy with personal stuff lately. Also I was hoping to have some detail shots of what I'm about to show you, but meh. Can't wait forever.

 

SO! I decided to go as a steampunk assassin (a la Assassin's Creed). Given the time crunch, I didn't have time to do everything I was hoping to, but I'm at least happy with what I had.

You'll notice some Bionicle MOCs implemented, which is why I find this relevant to BZP... :b I was in a hurry to finish those parts of the outfit, and decided Bionicle/Technic was the easiest way to have more gears and wires implemented into the costume.

Those hidden blades were VERY hairtrigger, so I only wore them for one of the two days I dressed up. Oh well, that's what I get for making them in a half hour the night before leaving. XD

Everything was loads of fun! I enjoyed pretending to be an assassin, hehehe~

Met some awesome people with VERY cool cosplays, including a fairly well-known cosplayer I follow on dA, so that was awesome.

 

I also got LOADS OF STUFF. Including my Lego name bricks signed by Carlos D'Anda, and a signed print from Stuart Sayger.

And all this delicious goodness:

Heartless shirt, doge shirt, a LoZ shirt (angry chibi Link saying "call me Zelda ONE more time!"), a dice bag, an Edward Kenway figure, a LoL key ring (gift), a card game (gift), a Wacom stylus, a Lego dog and turtle, a Zora's Sapphire necklace, Portal socks, two Romantically Apocalyptic postcards, two signed Chasing Artwork prints, a dragon wool-felting kit, a Hyrule Historia book, a TARDIS card (gift), a signed book from The Oatmeal, and a Lego Hobbit set I already built.

(I have a picture of all of these, but I figured I've shared enough photos for one day... XD)

That guy with the "Free Shrugs" sign is now my hero. I wanna be him someday.

 

(Sounds like a heck of a lot of fun! I've always thought that Bionicle pieces could create a good hidden blade, and it sure looks good in those pictures.)

That outfit is pretty sick. It looks like it'd be uncomfortable around the shoulders though. I'm sure that's not the case, just looks that way to me...

 

I am also terribly envious that you got to meet D'Anda and Sayger.

Right?? I got a lot of people stopping me to take pictures, but those two up there were the only ones I asked to take pictures with. He's pretty awesome and gets ALL THE KUDOS.

It was really fun! I haven't been to a decent-sized general con before, so it was a great experience. I made the hidden blades in a rush so they were somewhat fragile, but they did shoot out, and they at least did their job of looking good. Thank you! ^^

Thanks! Actually the jacket is pretty comfy - the whole thing's comfy for a while, and then about 6 hours into it, my ribs and scoliosis-addled back start getting tired of being in a corset. XD

I still can't believe it! I saw Sayger and was somewhat excited, and I was saying aloud how much I wish I could meet D'Anda... and then Swert (who was there) chimed in and said he was actually there. I squee'd a bit and then went to go say hi. haha
