Cutest Costumes at FC 2011

Full Flickr Set

FC 2011 was particularly fun this year. I'm not really sure what, specifically, made it so enjoyable, but partly this was because there was a good balance between socializing, work (panels) and table-sitting. Plus, I was able to get together with a number of people that at other cons I only see in passing. Many nice meals, lots of terrific conversations. Plus, Hyena henchmen all weekend!

The collage above are what I think were the cutest costumes at the con. The springer was my favorite last year (edit: worn by "Feast of Dreams"-- hi, Katie! and built by Mixed Candy!); the trio of cat, dog and husky were *really* cute! (dog and husky made by "Feast of Dreams"; cat by Temperance); I loved the fierce little hyena girl.

There were also a number of new costumes at the con that were both spectacular and well-performed. The hawk's wings were very effective; I loved the Qarrezel gnoll-demon; faithful henchmen get a plug; the husky on the right impressed me with his ice skating skilz and mad dancing.



There were also some spectacular new costumes: the neon-birds-of-prey rocked my world. Not sure who did them, but-- Wow! Great to look at in full light and amazing in the dark! I loved the big springer spaniel adventurer/detective! Great personality both in design and acting: he was my favorite new costume of the con this year! I also enjoyed the Dr. Borrible-esque canine: I forget their name, but the design was both unique and extremely personable-- and the costume worked perfectly with the head! (<--best partial at the con!).


My Favorites!

My panels went particularly well this year. Partly this is from having done them several times, partly because I was better prepared. I did one on "Advanced Head Design" that focused on how, exactly, to translate a 2-dimensional design into a 3-dimensional head. the other panel was the "Exotic Materials and How Not to Kill Yourself" panel. I got extremely positive feedback on these! This made me very happy.

The move to the convention center next year does not make me happy, but we'll see. All in all, possibly the best FC I've ever been to!
