Hello, and first off, great thread. thanks for starting it.

Ok, so I'm going as Yda with a lifesize Papalymo.

I can't wait for the fanfest, since this will be our first one. ( going with my twin sis) I've seen video's of the contest last time, and the costumes were great. you guys did a great job.

on a side note, nariko were you the one doing the golder saucer themed handouts and such that bayohne retweeted awhile ago? just curious since I thought that was a great idea, and pretty cool.

Yuppers! That's me! I'll be attending as a Manderville Gold Saucer Bunny Chief and passing out these snazzy little playable cards day 0!


(These were my first proto-type batch so for final we should see improved quality! woo!)

Aaahh, I'm so excited that this forum is finally up!

Back in 2014 so many things went wrong with my costume that I wound up having to throw something else together last minute. I was a miqote with an Evenstar hat (at least that came together properly lol).

This year I've definitely learned my lesson... started my costume back in January. Making steady progress!

Really excited to see everyone's costumes, especially the SMN Eso gear! That's one of my favorite sets.

Aww, thanks! I'm really excited to see your costume too, but I won't mention it on the forums in case you want it to be a surprise. I didn't really love the SMN esoteric when it first came out, but it really 'grew' on me... I guess literally, too!

I’ll be there again this year! Can’t wait to see everyone again and the new cosplayers!

I may or may not be in the contest since I saw that they were taking submissions already a bit late, so I don’t know if I made the cut off yet. I was so indulged in working on my costume that I’ve sheltered myself from the internet for the last couple of weeks ^_^’ But either way it will still be fun to just be there!

I won’t be helping my bf this year with his costume, so all of my time is going into mine. I’m hoping he will be my assistant so I can actually get better pictures on my DSLR instead of my cellphone. I’ll share some images once I get a bit farther out, its been a time consuming project with a lot of research @_@

I did do a Machinist cosplay last year for a local anime convention. I literally made it in about 3 weeks using recycled materials from leftover cosplay projects.

I finished it about a week after Heavensward was released, so there are still a lot of imperfections on the costume since a lot of my reference images were based on two photos and the benchmark video. Couldn’t get any good shots of the pants so I just did a skirt. I have all my in progress photos on my private fb but I’ll eventually get it on my public fb.

If they have that meet and greet event the night before the Fest I may consider bringing this costume for that night to wear. It all depends on how much room I have in the car for the drive.
