Title: First con with an Ultra Saber and costume. Post by: Valx Vanzan on April 08, 2013, 09:12:01 PM I know I like seeing pics of others at conventions so I thought I would post a few of one I just went to. First off, the saber was a hit especially since I was the only one there with one. (It was an anime con but I wanted to crash it anyway since it was close) I found a couple other Imperials, but no Rebels or Jedi. I guess we had the place pretty well locked down. Also, showing off this version of my costume for the first time. Decided against gloves so they wouldn't hinder getting to my wallet and especially my phone for pics. Everyone kept guessing I was Starkiller so I went with it and said I was the Dark Apprentice version of him from TFU2. So I might make the knobby bracers he had on and leave my hands open when I get a chance.

Hope you liked them. I wanna see more con pics from all of you too. I hope to go to more myself. Title: Re: First con with an Ultra Saber and costume.

Here is a point. Title: Re: First con with an Ultra Saber and costume. Post by: Sky Dragon c5 on April 08, 2013, 10:08:11 PM Very nice! Going to my anime con here with one too!

Either way, cool pics! Yeah He had a similar style collar but he had sleeves, a cloak, and vaderish box on his chest. It was just easier to say yes and see them say " yes, I knew it " instead of explain "I'm my own Sith named......." Yeah I wasn't going for Starkiller though. I dig the costume, specifically the dickey or collar; simple but effective. :) Here is a point. Thanks. I thought it added a little something. I'll probably see what a cloak attached under it will look like eventually. Very nice! Going to my anime con here with one too! I'm a fan of quite a few anime such as Ghost in the Shell and I had just watched High School of the Dead but they were a lot of costumes I had no clue who they were. lol lots of mini skirts tho.

For not having recognized that I feel a bit like Crona... :D Title: Re: First con with an Ultra Saber and costume. Post by: Sky Dragon c5 on April 09, 2013, 12:53:31 AM ^Nice reference!

Hey can I have one of the pink hair twins? Lol. Just kidding. But seriously. Epic win especially with the Storm Trooper picture. Can't wait to go to Ohio Comic Con in my Clone Trooper costume. I hope to see NinjaJesus there. xp He should be able to point me out. If not then look for a goofy brother of mine going possibly as Alucard from Hellsing but the Abridged version. Lol. it was his idea.

Assuming you look similar as brothers it would be perfect. "Eternal Conflict: Darth Valx Vanzan" Really cool pic. LoL nice. I'd drop the full name and probably go with Darth Valx or Lord Valx. But yes I want a book and an appearance in one of Abram's movies. :) Title: Re: First con with an Ultra Saber and costume.

Come at me Bro' I dunno, all I could think about were giving the picture those two captions... Title: Re: First con with an Ultra Saber and costume.

That'll be my taunt to any Jedi challenger.. "Bro, do you even force??" Title: Re: First con with an Ultra Saber and costume. Post by: wolfmetal45 on April 18, 2013, 03:31:04 PM Great looking costume that looks inexpensive to make. Where'd you find those boots though? I've been scouring thrift shops high and low for a decent looking pair of 'sithish' boots and to afford the boots on amazon I'd have to sell my roommate to the Kessel spice mines.

I had the same problem. I didn't want to buy boots online for $60 without trying them on the. Add in the shipping. I finally found these for around $30 on sale at Macy's. not at home so I can't look or remember the brand name of the boots. They're not the high calf boots like the Jedi but more biker highth. |
