The Messy Canvas: Pictures – Costumes

Costumes

This page exists to hold various pictures of me and Cathy, in various outfits of her glorious creation. This includes Minicon and Halloween costumes, and now includes more than two pictures.

Minicon 31 (1996):

(42K) 		The parade of spandex bodysuits included these little numbers from 1997, cartoon star Freakazoid! and his seen once would have been seen more if the bastards hadn’t cancelled it female counterpart Freakazette! The hair is a faintly modified Bride of Frankenstein wig, which is why it looks like that.

No. That’s not my real chest, either.

Minicon 32 (1997):

Cathy made the costume, and it’s actually fairly simple, except for the headpiece, which is a giant felt construction. I see out of two holes by the nose. Notice how great pains must be taken to make my 6-foot-plus stature approach Brak’s.

I’m taller than Cathy on the best of days, and the headpiece adds another 3-4 inches. Notes on Xena: Fun with leather! Armor pieces are painted on. My contribution was gluing the skirt pieces together. Oh, and those bangs are actually Cathy’s hair, but trimmed from the bottom, stuck on a headband, and re-routed to the forehead. She’s a clever, clever woman.

Minicon 33 (1998):

Actually, I just wanted to wear the Brak on a Saturday night, when more people are around. The Lara costume includes details that few people noticed, including two pistols, two magnums, one Uzi, one shotgun, one medikit, one spare ammo clip, and the shades.

Useful for those who are interested in the mask’s construction, as well as those who just enjoy laughing at me looking damn goofy.
