Hey look, I finally uploaded my Polaris pictures!

It's Zoidberg!

AMy and the Raggedy Doctor.

Look! A poorly lit picture of Kai Owen!

Han. Shooting first.

I like that the built the whole Falcon and then added the rest of the scene for good measure!

Galactica FTW!

Steampunk K-9! So cute!

I'm not sure what this scene is from, but it's awesome.

WALL-E! So cute!

Marshmallow adipose! Also cute!

Sailor Senshi!

I sure hope Vader had some sort of cooling unit in there, or he must have been dying.

Someone commented on the hilarity of Death taking a picture of Darth Vader and asked if I would get in the picture.

Death with the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies ladies. It was too hot for them to wear the bits of the costumes that were actually bloody.

Ryan as Ryutaros.

I wanted a picture of the back of my dress since I hit my thumb with a hammer a dozen times making it. :p

Arthur Dent. Apparently people wouldn't recognize him and then he would hold up his towel and everyone would go "OH!". He even has the Guide!

Super blurry poorly lit Mark Sheppard!

White Mage costume + White Mage chocobo plushie! You can't see it, but I'm totally wearing the pajama pants I made from the leftover fabric from the cloak. :p

Your costumes look great! Did you change the Death costume? It looks more put-together in this set of photos. Totally digging Ryan's action pose too :D

Also, LAUGHING FOREVER that you managed to get a photo of Dent, who's an old friend of mine. Or did all of you meet last year?

No, but I wasn't moving that day so I might have taken more time to make sure it was lacing evenly. I ironed it for Fan Expo, but I haven't really done much to this one.

It's a good action pose!

Nope, it was pure coincidence! I think I ran into him at the Geek Off.

I may or may not have shrieked, "ZOIDBERG!" upon clicking the cut. :P I really love that someone dressed up as Arthur, too!

The back of your dress is super pretty (as is the front :P ), but I have to ask what may be a stupid question: what were you hammering? Are those brads holding the braided part down? If so, please tell me it's lined so the brads weren't scratching you. [face_worried]

There weren't many costumes at this one, but there were some great ones.

I was using the hammer to set the eyelets that the ribbon runs through. And the dress fabric completely meets under the strips with the eyelets so there's no scratching at all.

I'm really impressed with the ones you posted, definitely. Mandy's thinking about maybe trying Leela for Phoenix Comicon next year, so seeing someone successfully pull off Zoidberg was exciting. :D

Oh, good. Knowing you is educational, Yubsie. Before you I had never thought about hammers being used in either chemistry or sewing. :P

Leela would be so cool! What's she planning to do about the eye thing?

Hammers are amazingly useful things. It's usually pretty fun when sewing involves a hammer, but those eyelets are so small and the satin was so hard to set them in (it was only holding because it was interfaced) that I kept slipping and hitting my thumb instead.

Looks like you guys had fun! I wish I were handy or creative enough to make costumes. :p

It's a lot of fun!

Arthur Dent!

I always scream "ARTHUR!" at dudes in bathrobes. >_>;

I bet that gets some funny looks sometimes. :p

(Ryan was Baltar in a bathrobe once. That was fun. :p)

Great pictures and I love your costumes, but all I really got out of that was MARK SHEPPARD. *_*

No, that's a lie. I love this post. It looks like an awesome time, and seriously, your costumes! (HOW did you manage to hit yourself with a hammer WHILE SEWING, pray tell??) Just. Mark Sheppard. I know you understand. :P

He's pretty awesome. :p

I was using a hammer to set the eyelets. The satin was really slippery (it was only holding the eyelets because it was interfaced) and the eyelet tool was really small. I kept missing said tool and hitting my thumb. :p

The thing beneath the steampunk K-9 is a Halo map. The forerunner building in the back left gives it away.

I love your Death costume!

See, this is why the internet is awesome. SOMEONE would know!

Thanks! It was a brilliant bit of deciding to make it the week before I moved possibly to avoid packing. :p
