So, I made the annual sojourn to DragonCon this year and had a blast. Unfortunately the digital camera got left at home and we had to resort to using those crappy disposable cameras with fairly limited # of exposures. Because of this, I decided to conentrate most of my pictures on non-anime costumes....which is just as well since it's mainly a western-oriented convention.....and let's face it, all that anime crap is tiresome.

So without further digression, here's the ~70-75 pictures I came back with. Some came out kind of dank and hazy -- is that the result of a shitty disposable camera or a shitty one-hour photo lab? I will have them developed again if there is actually room for improvement.

DISPOSABLE CAMERA #1:

DISPOSABLE CAMERA #3

Nice costumes, but there doesn't really seem to be a central theme, and it seems less like a convention and just more like a Halloween costume party (which happens to not be on Halloween.)

 

[robochimp]

Buddah fools Jesus and Satan into patching thinks up by tricking them both into arriving at the same place at the same time.

 

[Trevelyon]

everyone in those pics is a douchebag...except for him:

and the Elvis Trooper.

Alright, this is the last batch for a while, I think....

 

[Dan]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that humanity would be better off without these people.

 

[karasu]

[ManaByte]

Ok. That fucking rules.

 

[mightynine]

Winner (though the girl did a good job with the Phoenix costume).

 

[Apharmd Battler]

Dude nice pics!!! I saw that Stormtrooper female with the tight midrift at Gencon. A lot of these people get around. I wish I could have been there..........

 

[BigGreenMat]

Strange a few of those people didn't seem like complete freaks and a few of the chicks seemed doable.

 

[BobbyRobby]

Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem! Hell yeah.

Can you picture that?!

 

[etiolate]

The Muppets rule. As does this chick:

[tedtropy]

Who the fuck is this guy supposed to be?

He's Out-dated Pop Culture Icon Man! Snoogins, or some such shit...

 

[TekunoRobby]

This thread rocks so hard.

This guy has become my new desktop. I can't wait to hear the screams of confusion from my girlfriend later today when she uses the PC.

 

[mrmyth]

Turn off that goddamm camera or I will EAT YOUR SOUL!


Those Master Chiefs and the movie Deathstrike are awesome. People need to stop trying to do Cortana.

I'd web it.

Just to re-iterate the fact that most WESTERN anime cosplayers suck arse, here's a reference guide.

 

[tedtropy]

Much like the real Spike, this one gets sweaty on the walk to the microwave...

 

[mightynine]

Ed's cute. Maybe. I can't really tell.

Though slightly chubby Spike is really funny to me. "Next on Adult Swim...Cowboy Donut!"

 

[Funky Papa]

 

[lachesis]

Western Cosplayers are certainly more colorful and cheerful compared to all-too-serious Jp players.

Well, the convention encompasses horror, fantasy, science fiction, cult tv/cinema, RPGs, anime, comic books.....so there's a pretty wide range of costumes to choose from. Probably all but a handful of these cosplayers are characters from some work of genre-based fiction.....though a few people always come up with their own outrageous outfits (girl scouts from Troop #69 or the mammogram guy).

 

[Cherubae]

I ran into him at Comic Con. I knew he was legendary but nothing beats an up-close experience with his ass.
