Thanks, guys. :3: That's all the encouragement I need, mostly I feel bad because I only do 2ish cosplays a year so I only have so many cosplays to post photos of. But I'm moving into my main project for 2014 (Warhammer 40k!) so here's a photo of my Terran marine's last ride. I'm on the far left there, photo by CosIT photography. I'll miss wearing it but transporting the marines, not so much.


And here is photographic evidence that my friends and I are all mature adults.

So I guess it's OK to do our own stuff - Finally had someone take a few pics, so now I've got something other than selfies. It's 95% done, so a few unfinished details, but goddamn was it satisfying to look at these.

Oddly specific question- a friend (female, mid 20's, petite but very fit) lost her right arm below the elbow a couple of years back, and she's been thinking up cosplay/general costume ideas that play off the arm. She likes the idea of dressing up as Nemo (from Finding Nemo) or Luke Skywalker (although that seems pretty tough to pull off) but I thought I'd check this thread for more thoughts on this. What would you do?

If she likes Magic the Gathering, Tezzeret has a crazy filigree arm that would only work for somebody without an actual arm there. There's also an awesomely campy Japanese movie called Machine Girl where she gets her arm cut off and uses a gun arm instead. Captain Scarlett from Borderlands or even Captain Hook would be pretty awesome. Or Jaime Lannister. So many options!

I hate to say anything specific, 'cause it counts as a spoiler, but a certain character in the latest episode of the Walking Dead video game. I bet this would be a popular one.

Alternatively: Lady Waziria from Thor: God of Thunder.
