I haven't been to a convention in a long while and the last one was Otakon back home.
So It was really exciting to go to a con again.
This time, I cosplayed as three characters!!!
That was interesting since I've never cosplayed before but I love designing and creating costumes.
Friday night we ran into a lot of traffic so we couldn't make it to the floor, but we still went to the convention center where me and my friend dressed up as DC comic characters. She was Batgirl and I was Zatanna the Magician.
Saturday was the BIG day. THere was so many people but I was still able to do and see things I was hoping to do.
I dressed up as Korra from the Legend of Korra (Book 2).
That day I also was privileged enough to see one of my favorite actors, Steven Yeun from Walking Dead (Glen). He is also the voice actor of Avatar Wan in Legend of Korra.
I was super excited and very nervous meeting him. He is one of the most relaxed and friendliest celebrities I have ever met!
And he instantly recognized my cosplay and was really excited when he greeted me (I was so starstruck I'm surprised I was able to say hello and thank you)
I got a picture with him and it pretty much made my weekend.
Later I was also able to meet Cosplay idols Yaya Han and Riddles.
Both ladies are stunning in person and super sweet!
Sunday was our last day and was Disney day.
My friend dressed up as Snow White and I dressed up as Elsa from Frozen.
It wasn't an exact replica of her dress because I was basing it off of several other cosplay references as well as few fan arts.
I got a lot of mixed responses.
Most of the reactions were quiet positive to say the least; many people commented on how beautiful it was and had a wedding dress quality to it.
My "negative" response was mostly from those who cosplayed from Frozen as well. (IE The other Elsa's) Needless to say, there were a lot of icy stares (Excuse the pun)
Despite that, I am very happy of my Elsa cosplay as well as my other cosplays.
This weekend was so much fun and it reminded me how much I love going to cons.
I was also exposed to a lot of wonderfully talented artists.
Definitely motivated me to go and create art when I got back.
More posts to come!
