TFW you are Edgeworth on the Ace Attorney panel at CONvergence and a Gumshoe runs in with a manilla folder to give you the updated autopsy report. Bliss.

(Prosecutor's Badge by @dangerous-ladies. I had a wig but it was too hot to wear at a mask-mandatory con so i didn't. Deal with it.)

In the Goncharov panel at #cvg2023. "There WILL be spoilers." Big laugh.

To find these words at journey's end fills me with joy

I'm absolutely over the moon. The Meteion cosplay we've been toiling on for months won Best in Show at CVG's masquerade.

The construction of this cosplay was crazy. It uses so many different techniques - gathers, pleats, 2 types of embroidery, hidden hooks, mitered corners, magnets, snaps, latex leggings, Velcro, EVA foam, dry brushing, sculpting, the list goes on. To have it all pay off to the highest degree possible is breathtaking. I can't even begin to communicate how crazy this costume is and how satisfying it was to have that recognized.

We weren't even able to show the judges every little detail with how much there is that goes into making this costume tick. For example, it's all based around flexibility - almost everything, even the armor bigs, is able to bend without ruining the paint job or breaking. Even the wings (which were made of 270 individually hand cut and scored feathers of foam) can get knocked on things without taking damage - magnets hidden beneath the wig keep them in place while keeping them loose enough to get bumped without any issue.

I can post the build book if people are interested, and I'll also have more photos to come. I just need to rest awhile before doing anything else @_@
