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:

Cornell



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 [livejournal.com profile] karisu_sama)
fight

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

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.


[livejournal.com profile] 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...)]
