The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
Are ALL of those costumes fan made? In this day and age of promotion, SOME of those costumes had to have been made by pros, in an effort to promote the ComicCons. Steve
I don't know about this one, but most of the cons that have costume contests have some definite rules regarding the costumes. Yes, there are pros making them--but they're also the ones wearing them, because that's how they make the money. There's a lot of talent out there in costuming-just-for-fun...

Considering some of the work that goes into some of these costumes? Yup.
I've been to DragonCon in Atlanta numerous times, and I've seen some SERIOUSLY impressive stuff.
Every Con has a few like this.
Having said that, the Wolverine and Loki are AMAZING.

Fantastic! That would've been fun to see. The masquerade must have been amazing.
Hey Peter,
Yep the Atlanta Dragoncon has gotten pretty big, now the characters walk a parade..Serious effort goes into those costumes.
