Tell me about the outfit you are wearing
This was The Riddler from the Batman comics. Out of all the bad guys in the DC comics line, he was always my favorite. He had no super powers, he was not really strong, but he had the greatest mind of them all.
Tell me about the process of making your outfit ?
It was pretty easy to do. Simple suit pattern and green fabric. The hardest part was finding purple dress shoes. lol
Any interesting stories from people’s reaction to your outfit at the con ?
The best story I have involves the one riddle I brought with me. Once people figured out the answer, their reactions were priceless.
“What do you never want to play, but never want to lose? ”
The answer? “The Game”
How did you get started cosplaying and what got you interested ?
How did I get started? Well, it started off many years ago when I wanted to be Link from LoZ for Halloween. I throw together a tunic from a green “tall tee” and made the hat from some scrap green fabric. Looking back on it, the costumes didn’t look good at all. As for what got me into cosplay, I have always loved to make stuff, and was already pretty good at sewing, so I decided to give it a go.
What are the con did you first attended and what’s your favorite con that you’ve attended so far and why ?
My 1st con was All-Con 2008. It is a small con, and a good one for any 1st time con goer in the DFW area. As for my favorite, that is easy. AnimeFest, the same con you took my pics at. AnimeFest is a pretty big con, and not as up tight as some cons in the area.
What does cosplay mean to you ?
Cosplay means a lot to me. It has given me something to in my free time, it has greatly improved my sewing and prop making skills, and it has let me meet so many new friends.
If you had unlimited funds/technology/time, what is your dream cosplay ?
That is an easy one. I would upgrade all my Ghostbusters equipment to have 100% screen accurate parts, lights, and sounds. As well as an ECTO-1
