I'm glad to be back with you, my loving followers for all (or as much as possible) things NYCC!

my thanks to everyone who looks at this thread and enjoys it. please feel free to leave comments.

also, if there is something in particular you want me to get pictures of, please post it here and i'll do my best to find the things requested and get pictures posted.


almost packed, just slowly putting the outfit in the suitcase; don't want to forget anything!

as usual, I have made some modifications, changes to my outfit. the shoes I have used for the last bunch of Comic Cons, well, I have worn them out. we literally walk at least 10-15K+ steps every day at the show; around 7.5 + miles. so I needed a new pair which means paint and prep.

I went over those black buckle lines after the painting and the black pops nicely.

I also wanted to change the calf wraps (which are part of the shoes Thor wears) the ones I had for the past couple of years used snaps to hold them to the calf. I put the snaps all the way through and they are visible. look closely to the bottom left of the picture and you will see them, they are yellow, as they had nothing close to the golden yellow material used for the wraps.

I figured out that I can make the snaps (yes, you have to make them individually with a tool they are in two parts and it takes four parts to make a male and female snap) and hot glue them to the underside of the wrap so they are not seen. that will make for a cleaner appearance. of course, there will be a "bulge" for the snap, but, it won't be too noticeable unless the pictures taken are very close or super high rez and get zoomed in post production.

so, I had to buy 2 yards of the material to cut out two of the strips you see in the picture! yep, that's how it goes when you cosplay!
