The Hobbit Cosplay/Art References
Dear Fellow Cosplayers of the Tolkien persuasion,
Wellington is currently doing this “Costume Trail” thing which is fantastic. What they’ve done is taken the costumes of the main characters from The Hobbit movies and placed them around Wellington, NZ, for people to look at. There’s usually one at each location but some places like The Roxy and Embassy theatre have three.
So, naturally, I am doing the thing but I’m also doing it with a fairly powerful camera to take hi-res photos of the costumes as references. What I am going to do once I’ve got good photos of all of them: upload the pictures to tumblr, one character costume per post. I’ll upload the ones I’ve seen already but I won’t get photos of all of them until probably Christmas or Boxing Day.
One minor thing to be noted: The costumes are housed in cases with super reflective glass which gives the photographer in me nightmares. I do my best taking the photos [including making my mother hold up table cloths to block the light, lunatics that we are] and with photoshop but alas, I can only do so much. Detail shots are fine because I can easily block the glare but full body shots are dicey.
Characters being displayed:
Thorin
Bilbo
Oin
Gloin
Bifur
Bombur
Bofur
Fili Part 1 & Part 2
Kili
Dwalin
Balin
Nori
Dori
Ori
Gandalf
Legolas
Tauriel
Radagast
Elf Lieutenant
Elf Soldier
Bard
So if anyone would like detail photographs to help build their Hobbit cosplays, watch this space. You can message me for extra photos if needed.
OMG FINALLY ART REFERENCES FOR DRAWING DWARF CLOTHES
