Comic Con 2011 Ticket Woes and Costumes

Ok, I’ve decided upon the costumes for Comic Con 2011, despite the fact that like most everyone else I have yet to get my hands on a ticket. Twice SDCC’s attempts to make tickets available has failed. Why should they care? They know that there is such a demand for ticket’s that no matter how atrocious their customer service is they will still make just as much money. Of course they had they’re little test of selling 1000, but I’m pretty sure that didn’t work out so well. I’ve heard of only a few people actually getting a ticket, and people were locked out as soon as it opened.

Anyway, here’s the costumes for 2011, what’s do you guys think? Oh and what do you think about the plans to add on to the Convention
Center?

Costumes for Comic Con 2011

Well, today Comic Con has been over for exactly a week and I’m already planning for next year.

The fourth Doctor, while not as popular as Link, was more popular than I expected so it will be coming back next year. Now I just need to find a guy’s suit for my Tenth costume and we’ll be set to go.

Link will defiantly be coming back next year. I was very surprised with just how popular Link was, I love surprises :-P. Now, to see if my sheik costume will fit a guy. I made it for me but I bet it will transfer just fine.

Now to the new costumes.

I bought these and I simply must make a costume for them.

 So far ideas have been

Batgirl

Or Female Zorro

(Of course My costumes will not be exactly like the images above lol)

Anyone have any other ideas?

 

Now! On to the big new costume. The faun.

No, not this one

Still going to be Narnianish though I hope

I’m starting out with these shoes

2″ platform, 6″ total added height. Yeah, I’m going to be 6’6″ in this costume 😛 At least I decided against these

Add hooves over the toe

I’ll have some “feathering” Around the foot similar to some of the larger draft horses and I’m considering some “shoes similar to this

I’m using this fur fabric

As you can see the strips are wide enough that I’ll have the dark part on top and the light underneath

 

I’ll have these ears and horns

 

As for clothes I bought a lacy/leafy looking shirt and then over that I’m making a cute short leather vest from a leather jacket. I’ll also be making arm bracers from that jacket. This is the green shirt with the very roughest of cuts for the vest so far.

 

I’m going to also have organic looking  jewelry, leather arm bands, and I’ll be wearing my belt and bags from my Link costume so I have a place to carry things.

I’m also making a “skirt”. It’s going to be two pieces of fabric attached to a light belt. I’m making this from this scarf.

 

And I’ll be carrying a pan flute

 

So, super excited about this costume! 😀
