Lady Thor: second round of photos

Here goes the second round of photos of Lady Thor with the same credit going to Eylin da Cyel:

Skrull version of the Avengers

And lastly, a "street snap" that got taken of us at the Con:

LipDub Video at Expocomic 2011

Well, while at Expocomic, this girl walked up to us and said "I´m doing a Lipdub video for Expocomic. Wanna be in it?" Despite my hesitation, Loki prodded me into it. I´d never done a lipdub before, but she had (my Loki has experience!!).

So we´re in it!! Only one of the scenes that she taped us is in it....2 seconds of fame and glory (or not XD). We´re at 2:02. It´s funny, the one I liked was the one where we posed and said "I´m sexy and I know it" but the one that got put on was my awkward dancing. RoFl. 

I´m happy that you don´t actually see my face. Because, wel.....awkward dancing is awkward. 

Lady Thor: first photos

I finally have two photos of my Lady Thor cosplay. I hope to get more soon, since I was lucky enough to get together with an Avengers group who had a wonderful and talented photographer, so.....she took photos of everyone and has promised to photoshop nice thunder effects into Thor´s images!

 

I´m Photoshop-impaired. I really admire people who can manage feats like that. It´s even more admirable when the photographer in question is actually a talented photographer. So, on to the photos:

This photograph is by Eylin Da Cyel. All credit  of photo-taking genius and photoshopping is hers. Here is her facebook, and here is her deviantart (she goes by the name "Whitelemon").

After that, any pictures would look a bit amateur. Here is the other one I currently have (hopefully, more will turn up later).

A full body shot, with Powergirl (who I´s just met) and my Loki. A lot of people found it funny that Thor and Loki were both genderbent and actually getting along well. 

Here´s a crop of my outfit. It´s a shame that my hair is covering my silver discs and cape-brooches (a shame. I really fiddled around with them to make them functional). I´ll definitely be doing a decent 2.0 version of this cosplay for the Avengers movie release in May. 

Tweaking the brooches and fixing my wig´s hair (into larger front braids, probably) will be first on that list. Well, right after fixing the tiara. I dropped it minutes into the con and had to haphazardly tape part of one of the wings so that it re-attached to the tiara (Or rather, the section of the tiara with the wind unglued from the headband I used as a base....). In the end, what worked better than tape was a bobby pin (yep. I was surprised too). My friend Loki also had a similar problem with her horns.....

Lady Thor props: hammer and winged headband progress

Almost done!!

As of tonight, this is what everything looks like:

 

The only thing left to do is paint them, glue the wings onto the forehead-headband and wrap the hammer´s grip. All of which can hopefully be accomplished tomorrow morning. Yay!!

Making the hammer was a killer--covering everything with "fun foam" so that it´s even and flat is one thing, but making up for mistakes while cutting and uneveness while doing that is another....What´s great is that it´s extremely light: the only thing that really weighs in the wooden dowel. The actual head of the hammer is as light as a feather. Swinging it around will be easy and fun.

Next cosplay projects: December 2011

So, I won´t be cosplaying that pumpkin girl this Halloween.......in the end I can´t go to the Con in Barcelona.....what a shame.... *sigh* darned economy.

But instead, I´ve set up not one, but two cosplays in the "to-do" list for December. Sun Xiang has been relegated to next February. Sorry, Lady Sun!!

The two that I´m going to sew and make are:

Aramis, from The Three Musketeers (because I have been fangirling him ever since I read the book in 5th or 6th grade). So.....a crossplay. A complicated one, at that (so many layers! so many textures!). I will have to wear a moustache and goatee, hahaha. S will be my Athos, so we´ll actually be missing one musketeer...the aparently least-loved one, Porthos.....

December cosplay number two will be (*dramatic drumroll*):

Thor, the goddess of Thunder. Yep, the goddess of Thunder. Thor actually gets turned into a woman in the Earth X comics universe. It´s situation that I love, since I adore genderbending, gender awkwardness and wierd situations. I´ll be accompanied by S as Female Loki. We will probably participate in our first cosplay contest with this pair.

Needless to say, I might modify the costume a teensy bit.....if I lower the boot length, I might not look like I have....erm...."thunder thighs"? Never said better. I think that OTK boots would make any woman look like she has huge thighs, personally. So I might end up doing another of "Lady Thor´s" versions instead of this one. One thing is for sure though: I AM making a Mjölnir: no ifs, ands or buts. I want a Hammer of Doom.  I´m getting Madonna flashbacks every time I look at her chest, though. *facepalm*
