This is the kind of look he imagines himself to present.
Attachment 60322 Here's a guy that had a different mask. The masks are coooool, and I'm sure SonofV and I will return to this design to make some of our own. Attachment 60321 This one this year was really fun, but not super durable. Attachment 60323 Testing out the fur foxskin on your noggin, you know, research. Attachment 60324 |

A few shots of the mask / costume contstruction process. Mask plus beak.
Attachment 60325 Paper mache, lighter is better. Attachment 60326 Goofy glasses. Attachment 60327 Sewing the cloak. Attachment 60328 |

Klaus was something of a ladykiller. One gal actually wanted our picture to be an action shot where I was punching her. Weirdos.
Attachment 60329 Yep, this is where I spent a lot of time this year. Shocker, right? Fun topic this hour! Attachment 60330 Hey look! Ginko from Mushisi, my character from last year (or that other year, they kinda blur together.) Attachment 60331 And Zero from Year Two! Attachment 60332 |

Some people pick a character to dress up as because they already have the hair, I guess.
Attachment 60333 Yeah, wigs are hot at SakuraCon. Attachment 60334 Some others are in the hair lifestyle, 24x7x365. Super impressive. Attachment 60335 Some other people don't want you to see their hair. Attachment 60336 |

Some traveled with entourages.
Attachment 60337 Group costumes are popular. Attachment 60338 Some were just cool all by their damn selves. Attachment 60339 WTF? She spent the whole con being hauled around? Dedication. Attachment 60340 |

Oh, wait. *THIS* is Wtf, the element of surprise. Lots of clever, cool tshirts.
Attachment 60341 Some were more laid back. Attachment 60342 And some only needed One Punch, Man. Attachment 60343 And come with their own AMV. Singular Strike Gentleman. Yeah, back in the theater. Naturally. Attachment 60344 |

This year SonofV provided the suggestion for the subject of my cosplay efforts: Sir Crocodile of One Piece. "Please be aware, before progressing any further, that this site contains heavy SPOILERS"
Attachment 60345 Attachment 60346 SonofV chose to be a Spider Splicer. This isn't a screengrab, but it's a good sample of what he was shooting for. Attachment 60347 We're not really mortal enemies. :) Attachment 60348 |

There's some variation among the details of the source images for each character. I chose a white fur collar and my shoes didn't have buckles, nor did I wear the costume jewelry rings I bought.
Attachment 60349 SonofV's mask didn't have bunny ears or a bird's beak, but plenty of blood. Really, a lot of blood. Attachment 60350 A sample of his hooks. Attachment 60351 An early pre-release version of my hook. First year each character featured hooks--coincidence. Attachment 60352 |

My choice this year was very popular (Thanks son!). It also helped that the anime has been running for several years and has many friends. (Cosplay) friends of mine I was just meeting.
Attachment 60353 SonofV had his usual good time out at the Glomp court. Attachment 60354 Outside I encountered many people who wanted their picture with me. Attachment 60355 Attachment 60356 |

And inside too. This last guy was so cool, he's from a band, Mystery Skulls.

Some of the people inside were just cool cosplayers. Lots of people like having their picture taken with Master Chief, just like SonofV from 2010.
Attachment 60361 And the twins from Ouran High School Host Club, serious comedy. This pair has brought them to life. Attachment 60362 I really don't know what character she's portraying, but her makeup is flawless. Attachment 60363 Some of them just wanted *my* picture, I stole this from they guy's facebook feed after SonofV alerted me to having been tagged in an adjacent picture by one of his friends. I feel so famous. Attachment 60364 |

Now there were a lot of people also cosplaying characters from One Piece. I was greeted by many of them as they knew me far more often than I recognized them.

Eventually I was invited to a group picture with the many One Piece cosplayers. I was very flattered. "One of us!". This young lady was playing Luffy, the central character of the whole show. She guided me to this mob.
Attachment 60369 Some groups from specific story arcs. Attachment 60370 Attachment 60371 Really, there were a *lot* of One Piece-ers. I had a wonderful time. By the way, I'm in this picture taken by SonofV who had climbed to the top of the fountain to take this picture. Attachment 60372 |
Wow, V. Those are some elaborate costumes!
