Hwaaaaaa. Fanime.

Con was more fun than might be expected, considering I attended no panels nor anime screenings and sold practically no prints. =P Though did sell two framed posters for $50 each. Will definitely have to get own (or shared with few close friends) table next year time. But now for the more interesting part: da pics!

First, photos of yours truly:
Obligatory jazz hands | Outside the convention center. Eh. | Hey waitaminute. | Best pic w/ brother =) | Navi looking somewhat convincing there. ;)

My mom manning the camera on Saturday and taking pics of anybody who looked shiny:
A big Inuyasha group. | Dunno who she is, | or them, but the costumes are nifty. | Costume is apparently not the best but at least she's prettier than most Lulus. | Uh, I dunno. Good job blurring the camera mom. ;) | Wow. Geez. | Horray for butterfly wings. | Not Auron. ^^;; | From Chobits? Haven't seen it. Also, observe Kenshin's butt. | I think Naruto (ANBU?) but I could be very wrong. Ninja Gaiden, apparently. | I'm not sure if we ever figured out if he was from HunterxHunter or Kingdom Hearts 2. ^^; | How did he DO anything with those hands? | I probably should know who this is but I don't. | Female Vash? Okay.

I took mostly just pics of well-done characters that I know, or people that ctrl_a was photographing at the time:
Advent Children Cloud! He doesn't look a thing alike but the costume's great. | Lina and Gourry, cute. =) | Etna from Disgaea, a game I need to play just for the item descriptions. | M. Bison's power makes the camera tremble. | Roommate from summer session (and club librarian)! Dunno if she's actually any character but pretty nonetheless. =) | Yay, got a crisper pic of Bison and "buddies". | Bleach group that was not ours. | Bleach group that is ours. Anime Club, that is. | Milling about aimlessly ;) | Kurapika, backlit. Dang lighting. | Cid!! Awesome costume and awesome pose. | Solid Snake style! | Mahou Tsukai Tai - I got glomped by one of them. =D | Kite from .hack, apparently.

Sunday, the most populous day:
Everybody loves Katamari! | I didn't take this pic, but must share: Roffle XD | HI I'M DAISY | A cute Sakura | Vampire Hunter D, whose hand is apparently eating her knee | Four Sword Links! ...minus Purple | But we found him later. | And of course we joined in. | Seung Mina... with the Feather Broom XD | The Count of Monte Cristo, from a trippy anime that probably nobody watched. Very classy. | Rikku, hope she didn't trip on those braids. | Oh no, blurred Sue from Clover. | ! | Two out of four of an excellent Dynasty Warriors group. | Oh noes teh Goomba | Sailor Star Venus and Artemis. So cute! | Team Magma! I felt since nearly no one would recognize them I should give them some love =) Also, observe Kenshin's butt. | AAAAA IT'S PIKMINLINK I AM NOT WORTHY | ::psshh:: The Double Deuce! | Live action Zoicite, woo!

Crappy quality pics from the Masquerade, photographed w/ slow shutter speed from a screen - nothing really worth seeing here.
The amazing host guy. He is our hero. | Look out lonely rolling star! | Insanely elaborate 16th century court fashion (Rose of Versailles). | I can't even imagine how much those cost to make. | Final Fantasy skit, with crossdressing Cloud not pictured | A tentacle monster, apparently. I think he just wanted to show off the foam costume he had lying around. =) | A very slashy King of Fighters group. I didn't even know you could slash KoF... | Big One Piece dance number. | Those Dynasty Warriors people. | Prince of Tennis, simple costumes but a good skit. | Our poor club's Bleach skit, which you couldn't really understand due to the lousy audio | Gravitation, with guitars not pictured.

Anyone (::coughctrl_a::), feel free to link to this entry for laziness. I've bandwidth out the wazoo to spare.

....sooooo.... how dead were your socks at the end of the day? XD Seriously, your costume looks awesome - I'm assuming you eventually finished? I have no way of telling - I've never seen a pic of the character ^^;;

[nendil.livejournal.com]

Pretty dead, but mostly just from dirt I think. No holes at least =D And they were $1 socks anyway, so no worries. The bandages were more beaten up because the fabric was ultra-fray-y.

Here ish pics (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/1030/index.html) for reference. I did not make the footwear, and I didn't have a wig, and I suppose I could've gotten contacts/used some eye makeup. That's about it.

1) Yay awesome costume! :D And kickass posing, man!
2) holy cow giant katamari. Did a person pop out from it? How did the transportation work I wonder?
3) dude, pimpinLink has large sword. What are the Fanime rules on large weapons?

[nendil.livejournal.com]

1) That I practiced for months. ;) ;) ;)
2) No, nobody popped out. They just sort of pushed it along instead of rolling. Come to think of it, I wouldn't be too surprised if there were a person walking it inside there. o.o But dunno.
3) Any weapon that is not blatantly obviously fake was supposed to be "inspected" and tagged, but that's probably only if they catch hold of you. A staff member was going to inspect my brother's shield (wuh) but then had a closer look. XP

pimpinLink = best descriptor evar

[theropicus.livejournal.com]

Cool! But you should have told me you needed hair like that - I have a blond wig you could have used :D Not exactly the same, color, but close enough.

...what's with the sparkly hands? o.O

the costumes are cool. your costume is the best. i <3 LOZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nendil.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much =) But I think you are mistaken, this costume (http://www.liuart.com/fanime2k5/f0560.jpg) was clearly the best by far ;)

[antieden.livejournal.com]

This is so random, but I just found this through google image search... I'm the Live-Action Zoisite there xDD

[nendil.livejournal.com]

Cool! Very nicely made costume. Hope you enjoy your picture :)

[antieden.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D And yes!

... Mr. Saturn. *_*

You know the <3 of Mr. Saturn!

Hey Nendil, I was looking for a picture of a girl wearing a Team Magma uniform for an upcoming Pokewars! post, and I ended up coming across this LiveJournal.

Small Internet!

That's a cool Shiek costume, by the way. I personally the shots of you in action poses. :-)

Remarkable! You're still doing PW!, eh? Got Diamond/Pearl yet? =)

Re: Small Internet

I only wrote one PW! post in 2005 and two in 2006, but so far I've written a few this month.

I haven't bought Pokemon Diamond yet, but I did buy an onyx DS Lite on eBay recently. I want to play the game on my upcoming trip to Italy, especially since the flight will be so long. When I do finally play the game, I'll be sure to send you my friend code. :-)

I meant to write: "I personally like the shots of you in action poses." D'oh.
