This year we took inspiration from something relatively unknown in the cosplay biz, though quite well known in the webcomic world, and we dressed up as Weregeeks. As evidenced by this comic, there is much variety with each individual Weregeek, so I had a lot of scope for creativity.
In these two pics here we are posing with the creator of the Weregeek comic Alina Pete (who is TEH AWESOME) and we had a little fun. The masks were very heavy, as I used plain plaster as the main component for each mask. However, this was the first chance I've had to make masks since college, and I wanted to make sure they followed what I had in mind. Steven (on the left) turned out to be rather gargoyle-like in form, whereas I (on the far right) wanted to go for a more dragonish look. The bodysuits were made with a Nygard stretch suiting material that was half polyester and were quite comfortable. The pattern was very simple and easy to alter, since we are both taller than the usual run.
Alina Pete (in the middle) almost geeked out more than we did when she saw the costumes, and we now hold the official title of First-Ever Weregeek Cosplayers!
