EPICon Costume Contest

August 18, 2010 6:18 pm

Hello, I'm Titania McGee with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date EPICon information!

Just moments ago, convention officials announced the opening of a Cosplay Contest that will be taking place next week. The reaction from fans was immediate, with many rushing to don their handmade costumes and submit their entries before the lines get too long. Why, twice already I've been complimented on my "excellent" news reporter outfit!

If any of you are attending the convention and wish to enter, you have until Sunday at midnight to get your costumes together, as judging begins first thing on Monday.

I'm entering as Xemnas!! I'm so excited!

Will the judging be anonymous? That is to say, are the HAs anonymous? Otherwise it will just be a popularity contest...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm looking forward to this.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Great! Too bad I'm a 2009 zombie who refuses to change her base...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yaaaay, awesome, I entered. I am so proud of my cosplay. It's so unfashionable and dorky and I won't win but yaaaaay. XD;;;;;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What a great contest! But yikes, this is really hard as a zombie... Would there be any way to have us zombies able to use normal skin bases for this contest only? Or should we just stick to using makeups, peculiar petri dish, etc.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm entering Valerie Gray from Danny Phantom. =D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

YAY!! I already have my whole outfit toooooo!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Omg, I wanna go as Ke$ha SO.BAD.

But I have no money and my wardrobe sucks xD anyone feel free to take my idea, though! would love to see a good trashy Ke$ha HA.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Convenient timing, I just found the perfect blades for my Kratos HA. c: This should be fun.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

CRAP!!!! Crap crap CRAP! I can't get ANY of my ideas to work. The one I'm wearing now is OK, but it's not what I really want!!!

For those who don't know: It's a dress up contest. Usually at comic book convention, like the famous Comic Con in LA or Dragon Con in Atlanta, folks dress up as just about anything. Comic book characters, anime/magna characters, video game characters and movie and TV show (especially sci-fi or fantasy. Think Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, etc) characters are the most popular, but not the only ones. Literary figures are popular too. Look up comic con, or cosplay to get ideas. Altho if you look up cos play you will get a LOT more of anime/magna than anything else. Try deviantart too. Basically pick your favorite character and go for it.

Oh! I love Princess Mononoke! You did a very excellent San, definitely voting for yours once voting starts. x3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I really wish we could re-enter or change our entry if we change our avatar. I found a better skirt to use and I wanted to change my entry ;A;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, I finally signed up as Aeon from Castlevania: Judgement. Couldn't do the one that I wanted, because I couldn't get the face-paint that I needed. XP

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

what about zombies? will my zombie skin disqualify me from trying this out?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I just spend hours trying to make my zombie base look Poison Ivy-ish, but it didn't work out after all. So I'll pass on this one, good look guys!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

My crappy Yuujiro cosplay isn't getting any votes, it it? XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm going to enter my Alice Margatroid cosplay whether or not anyone knows about her. :B Good luck to everyone!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

gah I have to be creative now. tries

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

As long as people who are entering characters from more unknown works also submit those ref pics, I think the voting will be mostly based on quality.

I'm not going to vote for a crappy Harry Potter or Misty just because I like/know those characters.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Alright. Entered as Prince.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Don't worry, guys ~ I'm gonna win. :B <3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh yeah, Cid's in! fist pump

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

an don't forget about the harry potters :/

my mushishi cosplay won't even get a vot u.Ãº

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm waiting to enter till a lot of questions about this are answered, right now there are too many holes in the info ahah.

I am intrigued though ;D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Never done cosplay and none of the names of characters or stories I see posted here have I ever even heard of before. So don't think I'll enter this, don't really know what to do. But it sounds like it will be fun for the rest of you so good luck.
