My Cosplay @ AVCon 2014
This year was my third AVCon and my first time cosplaying. Over a decade's worth of Halloweens as well as some theater experience was enough to teach me that I love a good excuse to wear a costume.
I'd wanted to try cosplaying for a convention for a while now. I've had quite a few ideas for it, most of them height related (Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist, Kafei from Majora's Mask). Unfortunately procrastination and a necessity to stay thrifty limited my options a bit.
I decided on a costume that let me use things I already had, namely my Ezlo hat that I bought last convention and my green dress. All I needed would be a belt, white stockings, and brown boots, and I'd be a passable Minish Cap Link!
Naturally I picked the shortest version of Link to cosplay as. I'm really happy with how the costume came out. Future iterations will likely see the addition of Power Bracelets and Pegasus Boots, and eventually a dress that matches the green of the hat better.
Regardless, I had a great Sunday wandering around at the convention. A couple people asked to take my photo, including the absolutely lovely Sarah Kay, a local photographer!
I had such a lovely cosplaying experience. I hope I get the opportunity to cosplay Minish Cap Link again soon, as well as to try out the other ideas I have. If you have any cosplay tips, be sure to let me know!
