Marvel/DC 2013

[Naruchan]

So I wasn't very aware of there being a specific cosplay photoshoot that was held during con this year. I saw a few Tony Starks, X-Men and Batman Villians wondering around, but I recall their being a pretty good turn out in 2011 when both groups came together! I was hoping to do something like that this year.

I saw that there wasn't an option up on the topic board for the next year and so, I figured I'd jump on it since I have a Marvel cosplay planned for sure.
So, If you plan on coming, I'd like to hear suggestions on where you think the shoot should be! Also, by all means, progress! The best part about cosplay is seeing peoples progress!

I'll list the people coming and their costumes! So I can get a good idea of the turn out.

Marvel:

Captain America- Naruchan, Neko's friend
Lady!America- Teddy_Bearxx
Bruce Banner- nekovamp13
Iron Man/Tony Stark- Neko's friend, ironavenger
War Machine- ironavenger's pal
The Tesseract-Kisa-chann
DC:

Poison Ivy- CyberIncision

[hieis_girl1]

I have a couple Marvel costumes that I'm planning on taking to Kumo next year. Well, one for sure; not sure about the other, it depends on the rest of the group. XD

The gazebo is always a good choice, and the usual. I think we should meet somewhere and maybe go to a couple different places around the park, like the grassy area, the gazebo, the fountain, etc. I don't know how easy that would be, since there will probably be a pretty huge group like in '11.

[Naruchan]

8D That's exciting! Are they Avenger cosplays, or? There are so many Marvel Characters it can be silly sometimes. If you know the size I'd love to know!
I was thinking about that, but, I'm not sure it's superhero worthy, seeing as most superhero's tend to be more in cities.
The main stage area worked out pretty well for '11, so that may be the spot for this year as well.

[Kisa-chann]

I don't know if it's really "Marvel," buuuut I don't know where else to put it) so I was thinking about cosplaying a humanized tesseract next year. I really want to but first I have to figure out how that's going to work out, haha...

Any ideas?

[Naruchan]

Haha, It is, technically, it's a major plot device used in the Avengers, and that's a Marvel owned dealy.

Hmm, Well, did you wanna be like, a gijinka of it, or did you want to walk around as a giant glowing box with a head and arms. XD

[CyberIncision]

I'll for sure be Poison Ivy again

[Kisa-chann]

Haha, It is, technically, it's a major plot device used in the Avengers, and that's a Marvel owned dealy.

Hmm, Well, did you wanna be like, a gijinka of it, or did you want to walk around as a giant glowing box with a head and arms. XD

Ah yeah, that's true. c:

I was wanting to be a gijinka of it, but I can't think of any way to make it clear I'm the tesseract and not some random girl wearing all blue

[nekovamp13]

I was Riddler this year and had fun with my outfit. Probably wont wear him again to a con, but who knows~ My group had loads of fun as Joker, Scarecrow and Catwoman ^^

Also looking to add to our group.

[Teddy_Bearxx]

I'm looking to do Lady America or Teen Titans this year. I also wanted to be star fire when she first came to earth. Ugh. Desisions.

[Naruchan]

@CyberIncision- 8D Awesome! I'll add you the roster I'll be making!

@Kisa- Well, you could always make a more boxy type dress, and make it a textured shiney dress. So that when it catches light it looks like it's kind of lighting up. I'll see if I can try and remember the name of the fabric. But when I think Of the Teseract I don't just think of it in blue, I think of it with some purples and greens in their too. 8D You could always make an actual one to carry around with you as well. They have pretty good tutorials on youtube and what not for that.

@Neko- Yes! I saw in the progress thread the evolution of your costume and liked it alot since Riddler is my favorite batman villian. If the group could make it to the shoot that would be awesome! Gotta say, I adored your ice king. <3

@Teddy- Lady America would make my life, you have no idea. But whatever you choose I'm sure it will be awesome! Not that many Starfires running around, so I'd be pretty impressed!

[TheDevilsNightmare]

Klarion

[Teddy_Bearxx]

I'll somehow just end up doing both.
If I have the money for Starfires armor- it would have to be commissioned.

[nekovamp13]

Also, my friends and I are being Stark Spangled Banner XD
In other words, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and Bruce Banner.

[Naruchan]

@Devils- Awesome! I love the character design!

@Teddy- That'd be dope! Let me know which one you'd most likely be wearing to the shoot.

@Neko- ufdslvibadflivb I'm So Jelly. I don't have any friends that are willing to be Tony for me, even if I make them the armor. XD So, That's exciting. 8D Are you being the suited up versions of casual?

[hieis_girl1]

Naruchan- Avengers and X-men are the two groups we have. And there are (hopefully) going to be 6 of us in my group.

Kisa- That would be awesome! As my group does the Avengers, you would be SO COOL to have to take photos with. XD

Teddy- How are you thinking of doing your Lady America costume?

[nekovamp13]

My Tony and Steve want to do the armor, but I don't know what I'll do ^^;
But all of us will have casual done at least.

[Teddy_Bearxx]

@Hieis: I'm not quite sure yet. I was thinking of having someone help me make it from pleather if I lose enough of the weight I wanna loose (already lost 10lb <3), but if not I was thinking of making it like a modern day casual outfit. Long sleeve jean jacket that cuts off under the bust, blue skinny jeans and his sheild. The shirt would be hand made like a regular tshirt. Its confusing I know.

@Naru: I'll probably be Lady! America for the shoot. I wont be able to do Starfires armor, but If I have the time and money, I'll make her default and wear it for a little white at the end of the shoot, unless we do two.

[iceytina]

Heeey what about Dynamite Entertainment? It's a smaller comic line sure, but oh my word, just in a year, the amount of titles they produce has doubled.

I'm going as Kato from the Green Hornet next year and don't want to feel left out!

Dynamite has The Lone Ranger, Zorro, The Shadow, The Spider.... lots of others...

[Naruchan]

@Teddy- That's exciting! I put it on the main post!

@Iceytina- Smaller comic lines are awesome! The last thing I want is for anyone to feel left out! I've heard of The Shadow, when I have time I'll make sure to look into some of the titles!

@Neko- You could look up what other Banner's have done. If they do Battle ready, you could always rip your clothes a bit and make them look stretched and worn, and do face make up like you're in mid change. XD Just a suggestion, I know the hulk is difficult to cosplay as. XD I'd love to see one though.

[nekovamp13]

If I had the time and money and skills, I'd totally make a suit.

[Naruchan]

8D SO maybe one day? It would take a great deal of time. I'm giving myself an extensive time limit on Cap, mainly because I plan on this being as accurate as I can get it. XD I also plan to be a beef cake in a year. I've started a work out plan that is gonna kick my butt. So, here's hoping I pop up at con looking like Chris Evans. Hahaha

[ironavenger]

I'll be coming back with my revamped Iron Man Mk 6 and my buddy will be the War-Machine.
 

[Naruchan]

OH MY GOOOOD! O_O It's beautiful! Is it made of Foam or Fiber Glass?
8D I'll go ahead and add you and your friend to the list.

[ironavenger]

8D I'll go ahead and add you and your friend to the list.

All my Iron Man suits are foam. War-Machine will be made of the same thing. Cool thanks for adding me!

[Kisa-chann]

They have pretty good tutorials on youtube and what not for that.

Oooh, that sounds like a good idea! I'll try and look for fabric like that as well, and if you remember the name of it that would be even better! And yes I was thinking of carrying around an actual tesseract, since it does seem pretty easy to make with this one tutorial I found.

Kisa- That would be awesome! As my group does the Avengers, you would be SO COOL to have to take photos with. XD

Oh gosh, really? ;u; I would love to take pictures with you and your group

My Tesseract.

[Naruchan]

@Ironavenger- 8D Not a problem, I am a super fan on people who can manipulate foam that way. XD The main reason I'm also on RPF (Replica Prop Forums) Is because I love seeing all of the Iron Man Suit development! 8D Nice Shiney cubical Battery!

@Kisa- The fabric I was thinking of is Organza, It's very fine, but is basically a kind of tightly stitched mesh. You'd have to layer it, or have a layer underneath, but the outer effect would look cool. It looks like this.
In certain lighting it has this kind of effect.
The skirt obviously, and you can layer it differently, but, yeah! 8D It would look pretty nice. Also, be warned, you can't actually iron this fabric, unless you have a towel or a thin sheet between the iron and the fabric, because it's really good at melting onto your iron.

Thank you! This fabric looks so cool aahh <3 I can just hope that this won't get too expensive ;u;

My Tesseract.

[TESSERACT]

Pretty OvO

[Naruchan]

@Kisa- It shouldn't, since it's so light weight. I got it at a local fabric store for 2-3 dollars a yard. It may be more at Joanns though, you'll have to look!

Oh man, that's insane! Next time I can I should go to Joanns and see what they have ouo

[ironavenger]

Posted in another thread:
I'm trying to decide if I should go for a Tony Stark cosplay day, I have an amazing Armani Suit as well as a SA Avengers casual Tony outfit w/ Arc reactor. What do you guys think?

[hieis_girl1]

YES

[hieis_girl1]

Bring the suit!

[ironavenger]

Oh I also have this one for the DC shoot.



What do you think?

[Naruchan]

I honestly love all Tony Starks.
I feel like he is my spirit Animal, so I decide to be him all dolled up, I would swoon.
*lol Cap would swoon*
That is amazing!
AHHH TDK BATMAN! SOOOOO INTENSE!
XD Ironavenger, you're making me want to do more then one shoot!

[ironavenger]

AHHH TDK BATMAN! SOOOOO INTENSE!
XD Ironavenger, you're making me want to do more then one shoot!

I can only be one at a time. So we may need more than one shoot.

[hieis_girl1]

Multiple shoots would be awesome, since I'll have multiple DC/Marvel costumes for next year. XD

[nekovamp13]

Ironavenger, would love to get pics with you as Batman! We have a large Dark Knight group forming. We only had 4 of us last year.

Hopefully I can get my prosthetic jaw all made up for Batman. I refuse to shave when the event arrives when I get to be Iron Man again.
It would be great to have some villains to battle!

[ironavenger]

[KingOfSassgard]

I am going as Female Loki for atleast one day! 

[nekovamp13]

I'm working on Loki ^^
Going to do his suit first, until I can get the money to start making his other outfit.

[Zhalfirin]

I'm finishing up the second version of my Gambit outfit and, with any luck, I'll have my "New 52" Aquaman done in time as well.

[Nightwing]

My group has a big batfam going we have a Femme Nightwing, Batgirl, Carrie Kelly, Tim as Robin and mabye even a damian. Could we crash your shoot. We also have a marvel set to. They are Storm, Phoenix, Jubilee, Kitty pryde.

[Figgles]

I'll be going as Female Loki one day with my little bro being Thor. :3 He's super excited. It'll be his first cosplay ever.

[Teddy_Bearxx]

Lady! America is still a possibility.

[nekovamp13]

Not being Loki anymore. Just going to stick with Bruce~

Anywho's, planning on cosplaying Nightcrawler from X-men Evolution to WWCC and so I may bring him ^^

[Teddy_Bearxx]

Captain America is a maybe, a friend of mine still has the commission money, but I need to come up with an outfit.

Put me for DC as Artemis from Young Justice, and my friend as maybe for Wally. We will be causal too if she doesn't fix his superhero costume on time. My dad will be maybe be Green Lantern.

[ironavenger]

Teaser

[eerielunarose]

I am planning on bringing Thor to Kumoricon this year. It's shaping up that I'm going with an Avengers movie version.

[ImpulseCosplay]

I'm hoping to have the classic Dick Grayson Robin outfit done along with Animated Young Justice Robin from S1. And if I magically can, Damian Wayne. But he probably won't be done.

[Teddy_Bearxx]

I'll be doing Artemis Crock from DC as well this year when she is Green Arrows protege.
If I dont have her superhero outfit then I'll be doing her casual one from denial.

[ironavenger]

So what is the schedule for the Marvel/Avengers photo shoot?

[Teddy_Bearxx]

Ironavenger: I'm not sure, No one has posted the day time or place on the 2013 photoshoot thread.

[nekovamp13]

Might be doing Teen Titans one day. We're planning on doing a group at Rose City, but not sure if we'll have time to have them at Kumo.

I am being Raven, and right now our group consists of Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Terra.

[Tranny]

Usually its a group decision on Photoshoots people start suggesting times and days usually 2-3 months before con and then the one that has the best cosplayer turn out usually gets put on the photoshoot list.

Also I will be bringing a Casual Dick Grayson with me to con, followed by some friends as Casual Bucky Barnes or Casual Kid flash, and Superboy who Casual anyways.

[Teddy_Bearxx]

Oh god. My cosplay list just keeps changing.
Im trying to do a fanart version of Starfire dressed like Robin..

[ironavenger]

New facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/130900457102726/

[Hitokiri-Kenshin]

Might do Ultimate Nick Fury.

[ironavenger]

[KingOfSassgard]

So it has been a while since anybody has posted, are we still planning on doing a photo shoot?

[Kisa-chann]

Due to some unfortunate circumstances I will not be able to be the Tesseract this Kumoricon! I do hope to see some of you guys and get a picture though!

[SpaceCubaLikesConan]

I'll be going as Robin from the Young Justice series!

[Roget]

Good afternoon, MCU/DCU Cosplayers!  I've been through the thread, and so far I don't see a final date to be able to send to the official gather list, so I am offering to help coordinate times, compile the wanted photo list, and EmCee the actual gather itself.  I have quite a bit of experience running large gathers at 50+ cons at this point and would love to help out. Given the current layout, I am proposing the gather be at
 
2pm, Day 2 (Sunday Sep 1st) at the Esther Park Central Gazebo
 
If you all could discuss and toss this time around over the next day or so, that would be wonderful.  Looking forward to Day 0; see you all soon! (And yes, I will be bringing the Fury to Kumori~)

[majinekochan]

If I manage to finish it in time I shall be wearing Kate Bishop's ball gown from Hawkeye vol 2 to the ball and will likely be a host, so come find me.

[Skyspiders]

Hello Marvel/DC! I will be attending this year as, Jean Grey Dark Phoenix from the movie X-men the last stand.  (X-3)
http://www.cosplay.com/photo/3411391/

http://www.cosplay.com/costume/460152/

Would love to find some other x-men or marvel to get pics with. (don't be shy of me while in character mode Jean isn't very personable as Dark phoenix, so while I may seem completely stand offish at times when I am showing 'phoenix force' affected Jean, I assure you I am just being my character ^^ but I'd love you to approach me if you'd like to get pics!)

I will do my best to stop by the photo shoot on Sunday too!

[ashe]

If anyone's in need of a villain, I'll be going as (pre-Extremis) Aldrich Killian, Eric Savin, and a female version of The Other.  Most likely as Killian the first day, The Other on day two, and Savin on the third day.   I'll try and get some pictures of the costumes up as soon as I can, or at least some links to my tumblr for reference.


EDIT:  Upon further review, it's probably going to be Eric Savin on day on, Aldrich Killian on day two.

[FearlessZombie]

Sadly I don't have any Marvel or DC cosplays yet (eventually I'd like to cosplay Batwoman and X-23) but I'll definitely be stopping by the meet up to get pictures!


Let me know if you'd like a quick mini photo shoot. Here's some examples of my work.
https://www.facebook.com/FearlessPhotoworks

[darkhawk5]

I'll be there as Superboy (pre new 52) and possibly 90's Kon as well...
