CC24 and Cornell

[furtech]

This is the first of a burst of posts about my recent adventures in costuming and Middle America. I'll make sure to put most of it behind cuts to spare those of you (most of you) who would be bored to tears reading most of it.

Here is more about Cornell-the-werewolf:





Richard took a pic during rehearsals: ironically, this image is nearly an exact representation of my worst masquerade nightmare, titled:
"The World's Largest Masquerade and I think I've forgotten something..."


Here's some side-by-sides of the costume to the original artwork.


I am very pleased with an experiment in varied expressions. Getting the different expressions in a single, non-mechanical head involved a LOT of tweaking. Oh, and he had a moving jaw: THAT was half the work. There's nothing worse than an off-kilter jaw...plus they're fragile and constantly in need of adjusting.


But the overall effect turned out much as I'd hoped (and hoped and hoped...)


Cornell vs. Joachim Armster (aka karisu_sama)


Here's a shot of our entire group. From left to right: Joachim Armster (karisu_sama), Sara (Karisu's daughter), Corndog-the-werewolf (me), Leon Belmont (saeto), Alucard (laragoth


We did well as a group, taking Best Workmanship Master and Best Presentation Master-- helped in large part to the hard work of all the members of the group. Overall I'm very pleased.


didjiman took several of these photographs (including many used for the comparisons) and most of those are marked. Those images images are (c) ImageCraft Photography [Hi, Richard: I moved the images to my ftp site-- if you'd prefer I can use the direct links to your images (but for some reason LJ didn't like that...)]

Your work is so lovely, I wish there was more of it! Speaking of which, I speak of you often when my friends ask about costumes and such, and yet I've never been able to find any sort of gallery of your work on display. Do you have any such site or gallery somewhere that you post photos of all your lovely creations? I've never found one!

I still remember one year you had made a must STUNNING RedXIII from Final Fantasy, and it was fighting you as Jon Talbain, and I coudln't find the images for the life of me. I wanted to show some friends the suits and bumbled around on Google like a retard.

PLEASE SHARE :D

I'm a technotard-- I've diddled with a site in the past but the designing and html (even with Dreamworks) was too big a hurdle. That, and I'm bothered by making it easy for the SA/PoE crowd to find. I do have a Yahoo! photo album but it's horribly out of date.
