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:

How to be a Happy Cosplayer

I found this (translated into Spanish) on one of my friend´s blogs. They, in turn, found it on Deviantart, here.

It is a really interesting illustrated list of what a cosplayer needs to keep in mind in order to be happy. I especially agree with the one that explains "Life vs. Cosplay"....especially since I had to make that very same choice for this last Con in December: study for my teaching exams, which might determine my future and get me a job....or sew two cosplays for the con. I chose the former, and am very happy about it. In the end, I did get time to complete one of the two cosplays, which isn´t that bad, and still satisfied my cosplay craving.

Do you agree or disagree with any or all of the listed "have to"s?

Next goal: Japan Weekend Madrid 2012

Next goal is set: Japan Weekend Madrid on the 11th and 12th of February, 2012!! I´ll be completing my Lady Sun outfit for then, and praying it won´t be too cold. I had enough of that with Lady Thor in December. *shivers*

(She is so darned cool. Now I just have to practice with the Hula-hoops of Doom and be able to actually wield them somewhat, at least for photos.... =.= As soon as I paint them, I´m gonna start practicing).

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.....
