So about that huge post.<br />
<br />
This spring started again the cosplay season for me. First was Popcult Helsinki, new event that I missed last year, so I was excited to go there. And it was really fun! I took my Mandarin outfit for a spin again, with fixing it up a little. I added more jewelry and a new sash. I wore that on saturday, and sunday I wore my third version of Captain Boomerang. I bought this great jacket from thrift store in Pori, and it actually fitted and looked accurate as well!<br />

Then there was Cosvision. For a show named Cosvision it was pretty weird that there was not a photo booth there that you could just walk in. I managed to get a few pics via photoshoot that I was hanging around in. My costume was my first <u>superhero</u> cosplay I have done- Guy Gardner aka Green Lantern! Really liked how it turned out. Lantern was a hazzle to do, but looked great at the end. Definitely gonna use this again! Power battery was made from two styrofoam balls, flower pots and lots of gesso. Gonna make the power battery probably better next time, most likely a little bit smaller version. Here's some pics.<br />

Now begins the arduous task of making my next costume, Thanos the Mad Titan from Guardians of the Galaxy. Ugh, I'm already frustrated but excited too!<br />

This blog has been kinda dead for a while. I have some new cosplay photos yes, but I'm probably gonna have more after this weekend when Cosvision is over. SO I just wait until that and make one huge post. But here's a one picture of my updated Mandarin costume from Popcult Helsinki!<br />

<br />
Last weekend (5-6.9) was again time for Tracon, Finland's foremost anime-manga-video game-cosplay convention. To me, Tracon is the gathering place for the best cosplay. I especially love the fact that costumes from games, movies and tv-shows are the majority these days. And as always, I was not a stranger to cosplay. Once again Marvel Cosplay Finland was assembled and made their presence known in Tampere.<br />
<br />
This year I was the Mandarin from Iron Man 3. Now, I must say: I hate that movie. I hate what they did to one of my favorite old school comic book villains. And no marvel one-shot can save that. That given, the Mandarin looks so cool. Just look at the posters and trailers- he is veritable badass out of hell. So what the hell.<br />
<br />
I do not have any making of- pics since my phone decided that living was too much of a hassle. Instead, here's the final product:<br />

That con is REALLY the best 'con out there. I do always a ton of shit there, I waste ton of money on a different nerd swag and I I'm always sad when it has to end. Really, it is the three best days of gaming in Finland.<br />
<br />
And nowadays, I cosplay there as well! I had two costumes with me this year- I'm still poor, and I could not made a new costume from the scratch. So I decided to make a closet costume and use a old costume again. My first costume was my old friend CAPTAIN BOOMERANG. I wanted to use the New 52- version because that looks way cooler than the classic one (Which I had as well) and it was easy to make. I had the jacket, cap, gloves and boots. I had to buy a new scarf, and make more boomerangs. But all in all, this was a really easy costume.<br />

<br />
But then it got hot. I mean, sun was blazing and I was wearing a hoodie and black jacket and a woolly cap. I had to change to my lighter costume. That was the THE HOOD. I have used that costume before as well, but I like it so much! Hood is such a badass, and that costume is practically jsut a cloak. Nice and breezy cloak. I also took some photos with my buddies Kerttu aka MISTRESS OF STRATEGIES-LOKI and Oskari aka SPIDER-MAN. Here's some of that fun:<br />

<br />
It's springtime for me, even though the weather seems to be disagreeing with me. And springtime means one thing and one thing only: the cosplay season is here!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://media.giphy.com/media/6vWVzDv19i3MQ/giphy.gif" /><br />
<br />
So that's great. And the first in the line is classic goodie known as TAMPERE KUPLII. Last year we had our first Marvel group, and that little meeting has now grown to a tradition. We met in Ropecon and Tracon last year, and with every meeting our group goes ever larger. At last Tampere kuplii we had 9 cosplayers. This year?<br />
<br />
19. This is a growth rate I like. We had characters based on movies, comics, and even some very original creations. I was going to make a Hobgoblin costume for this one, but then my monetary situation just kinda...blowed up. So I just took my old Doc Doom costume....yet again, but last time for a while. I made sure of that buy destroying my old armor pieces for good this time. I had to make them from scratch next time, and to make it better. I added some studs to mask and remade the Infinity Gauntlet:<br />

<br />
Bah! Enough about me. We as a group had ton of fun, and it was great to see everybody again. As I said, we had some new faces again and some new characters as well- Wolverine, Rocket Raccoon, Star Lord and many more. But what am I babbling about, picture tells more than thousand words:<br />

So that was grand. After that, we had a good meal in Siperia's SpeakEasy restaurant and that was fun as well. It was nice to just sit down and talk about stuff like school, work and movies. For me it was one of the best parts of the day.</div>

So yeah, that was fun. Next time is probably going to be Marvel, but no more Doom. Popcult Helsinki will bw the next con, and after that Ropecon, coming early this year. Until then, here's a special present- I found this amazing Shazam cosplay and had to take photo with him:</div>

<br />
Ahem. So Tracon 9 was held at september, and I had ton of fun. Why I post only now about it? Well, because the photos of my cosplay that I took at the booth came only few days ago. So, better now than never, here are my two costumes:<br />
<br />
Doctor Doom<br />
<br />
Second time! This time I "upgraded" it a bit, by adding more armor to legs and arms and also making my own INFINITY GAUNTLET! So that's cool. even though it looked kinda shabby, I was pleased how it turned out- but not for long. Later that day my arms started to ache and I barely got any sleep the night after. Foam+tape+paint= not much breathing for the skin, apparently. Need to up my game in armor making in the future. Anyway, here's pics:<br />

And we also threw together a Marvel group again on Saturday, and by god, it was awesome. I could not think we could possibly have more fun than we had last time but damn, proved me wrong. We had a bigger group, with Winter Soldier and Captain America joining from Ropecon and also Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch and Star-Lord and lots of more. We took photos, walked around the convention (when we could- so many people asked to take pictures!) and it was great. I can't overplay how important and fun that day was for me. I rarely get to cosplay with people, so gatherings like that are the best.Pics!<br />

Scarecrow<br />
<br />
Third time! Little changes as well. Red shirt to bring more character and some new gloves. Looked allright, the mask is still the best part of the costume. Plan to use this again in future, I just love to be Scarecrow! We also had a wee DC group at Sunday, pics are coming as soon as i get back from holidays. But here's Scarecrow!<br />

So that was cool. Next time is Tampere Kuplii in March, and FINALY it is time for the costume long in the making, and in collaboration with the Dean Clayton of Headhunter Store. My next character is going to be my favourite Spider-Man villain. Guess who?<br />

It's been a while, but I got some new pictures for you! Last weekend was my all-time favourite finnish convention, ROPECON. Ropecon is roleplaying convention- in fact, it is one of the largest in the Scandinavia and Europe! While it is not known for its cosplay was well as Desucon or Tracon, there are some flippin' cool cosplay there- one of kind, because these cosplayers rarely venture outside of Ropecon. I actually started my cosplaying in Ropecon 2007, as you might remember from my earlier post and I continued this tradition last year with Scarecrow. Now I used a whole new costume, one I have been itching to put on for a while now, and here it is- Brock Rumlow aka CROSSBONES from Marvel comics, the frequent enemy of Captain America.<br />

So as you can see, I had a blast. I saw some very amazing and innovative cosplay, and I post here some links to good galleries of those photoes by some professionals! Next is Tracon again (full circle) and I'm bringing back some of my old costumes and characters- but do not believe that I won't fix them up a little and try something new! So see you in September!<br />

No making-of parts this time, this was done before I even realized it. I went with Marvel comics supervillain called the Hood, real name Parker Robbins. Created by the genius of Brian K. Vaughn, he is the kingpin of New York, but before that he was small-time crook with lots of problems. Then he found red cloak, which gived him various powers, as well boots that allowed him to walk in the air. With new powers, this small-time crook rised up in the criminal society, uniting gangs to do jobs together and split the loot, and soon enough he became leader of hundreds of burglars, drug lords and murderers and of course, dozens of supervillains like the Wrecking crew, Wizard, Hydroman and all the other b-list losers that needed guidance. He has been frequent enemy of Avengers and Spider-man for some 10 years.<br />
<br />
Enough about that guy! Here's me!<br />

So that is that! Next time, it's time for the "big" one- one I have been working for long time and with props made by Headhunter Store. That is for the future, possibly for Hypecon and Ropecon and if I don't have time to do anything else, Tracon.<br />

<br />
For the first time ever, Cosvision was held in Logomo (venue hall in Turku) last weekend. I was excited- new cons are always fun to check out, and this was specificaly aimed for cosplayers and all the shows were about cosplay, and there were many cosplay competitions. I too, dressed my costume again and headed to Turku. My costume was that of Parker Robbins, aka The Hood from Marvel Comics, regular foe of Avengers and sometimes Spider-Man. I'll make separate post about the costume as soon as I get some photos that don't suck.<br />
<br />
<b>Location, location, location</b><br />
<br />
Logomo hall was absolutely fantastic. It was within walking distance of railway station, it had it's own cafe where you could get drinks, sandwhiches and even brunch! All the rooms for panels and workshops were easy to find and were on the same floor. Merchant's are was right there when you walked in, in the big open area- this was one of the first cons ever in Finland where you didn't have to use elbows to get to buy stuff! There was no problem with ventilation either- the rooms were nice and cool even if you were wearing heavy cloak. And above all- there were dressing rooms. Normally they are restricted to the cosplay competitors, but now I could just walk there and adjust my cape (and try out t-shirt so I would not buy to small, tee hee!) and there were masking tape, needles and other tools for fixing your costume.<br />
<br />
<b>I wana buy that-and that-and.....</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Okay, so the merchant's area was great-but what about the merchants? In Finland, there are always the same people selling the same stuff at most of the cons, save for the Ropecon and Helsinki Comic Festival. Urumi selling their anime-manga merchandise, t-shirt vendors with too small shirts, those guys selling katana-umbrellas and goth stuff and so on. But there is always one who does not let you down. Headhunter Store and Dean Clayton at it's helm. We chatted about movies and figures like we always do, and I bought home big Iron Man figure and some small minifigures. If you like Doctor Who, Aliens, Assasins Creed, Batman, Marvel, Terminator, Hellraiser, He-Man or old horror movies- you better call Dean!<br />
There were also Bard&Jester store at present, who sell Steampunk/Leatherpunk esque stuff. I have not seen them outside Ropecon, and I was glad to see them expand. There is also Artist's Alley, where you could buy awesome art pieces made by amateur artists. I bought awesome Jon Snow and Ghost-piece, and wooden fox-pin for my mother as a mother's day gift! My favourite thing was the Venom plush I bought- it so cute I can't even!<br />

I went to only two shows- mostly because there where nothing that interesting going on, and I knew that Cosplay competition would have super-long lines. But I am glad that I chose them! First one was by one of the honor quests, Kairi from Poland. She talked about preparing for Cosplay show, and it was really great! Simple and effective ways of getting your own and your buddies act together, and I liked how she told not to be too soft with these thing: "You have to think that everybody in the audience is dumb." I liked that, and undestand the point behind it. I later met her at the floor, and her Black Canary cosplay was great! I was pleased to find that she was DC comics fan, and we quickly chatted about New 52 -line of DC comics and cosplay. She was really nice person!<br />

Other show was concert by Sherlock Holmes. Yeah! Violinist was cosplaying Sherlock from the BBC:s Sherlock-tv series,a nd she played violin parts to songs from TV-series, games and movies- I really liked it, and it was serene moment in otherways busy day of running around. I especially loved Sephiroth, Paprika and Cowboy Bebob pieces. And she was playing them from memory alone!<br />
<br />
<b>What a day</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
So that covers my Cosvision saturday. I met some of my friends from Marvel-cosplay at Tampere kuplii, ate some very good Karelian pasty and had a blast! I really liked Cosvision, and I hope it is held again next year! Fanfest was another new convention that was held in last November, but it is probably not coming back this year. Let's hope that does not happen to this time!Aasa Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131635742346323615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183669810247877603.post-19030089884488705352014-05-06T09:16:00.001-07:002014-05-06T09:16:32.187-07:00About time already! Tampere Kuplii 2014Hello, my adoring masses of readers. I haven't put anything here yet about the cosplay experience known as Tampere Kuplii comic festival 2014. To me, Tampere Kuplii is finland's second most important event of the year, losing only to Ropecon. And it is also my favourite place to cosplay- it is open event with lots of people just passing by, not just geeks like me, and reactions to costumes are always funny! This year, I decided to take the cosplay to next level by making armor. Granted, it doesn't look much and kinda broke after the day, but it was experience to make it, and I look forward making armor again!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's some photos from the process:</div>

Bracers and leg guardians. Also shows my awesome taping skills. And my Chaos Daemons codex.</div>

Tracon 8 oli ja meni jo melkein kuukausi sitten. Olihan se taas ihan hauskaa, vaikka velikulta ja rannalla ruikuttamaan, kun ei noita rannekkeita riittänyt enään ovella. Noh, tällaista tapahtuu. Itse vietin kutakuinkin mainion viikonlopun Tampere-talossa, jutellen, luentoja kuunnellen ja harhaillen. Ja tietenkin myös pukeutuen. Tällä kertaa oli aika liikkua pois Batmanin rikollisten galleriasta ja siirtyä aivan uuteen porukkaan- Flashin Rogues-jengiin. 'Ello, mate.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Puvun vaiheita</h2>
<div>
Pukuhan on kaikin puoli aika pirun simppeli. Sininen paita, mustat housut, suikka, valkoinen huivi ja mustat hanskat. Sininen paita perustui pitkähihaiseen t-paitaan, johon ennen yhteenompelua painettiin kangavärillä valkoisia bumerangin kuvia. (Note to self-tee seuraava Arvuuttaja-puku samalla tavalla.) </div>

Valkoinen huivi oli vain kaksi huivia ommeltuna yhteen. Simple as that. Mustat hanskat syntyivät kaikesta alkukankeudesta huolimatta helposti-pari mustia sormekkaita kävivät tähän hyvin. Suikan kanssa syntyikin ongelma. Aluksi en ollut löytää sellaista mistään, mutta lopulta Orivedeltä löytyi kodinkone-kauppa jossa oli halpa suikka. Postimaksu tosin oli naurettava, ja hattu saapui perjantaina ennen 'conia. Sighh.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ostin myös bumerangin netistä, mutta väänsin pahvista vielä pari sarjakuva-henkistä bumerangia.</div>

Semmonen tuli. Ihan kyllä onnistui, vaikka hahmo oli niin pirun obscure että ei sitä paljon kukaan tunnistanut, paitsi Tuovisen veljekset Arkkikivi-kustantamolta ja pari individuaali. Meillä piti olla myös DC-ryhmäcosplay, johon toivoin enemmänkin osallistujia kuin kahta. Paikanpäällä yritin vielä hakea Jokereita ja Harley Quinneja mukaan, mutta ilman tulosta. Loppujen lopuksi me taistelimme Keystonen tulevaisuudesta kahdestaan:</div>

Kaiken kaikkiaan, hauska cosplay. Seuraavaksi vuorossa varmaankin Yukicon, jonne olen menossa ohjelmaa pitämään. Ajattelin että aiheen voisi hyvin yhdistää pukuun. Se onkin sitten viimeinen DC-cosplay vähään aikaan, sen lupaan. Waugh waugh!</div>

I think it was Ropecon 2007. Tite Kubo's manga Bleach was pretty big deal to me back then (not anymore, god no) and Yumichika Ayasegawa was one of my favourite characters. So this was born. Costume was home-made, but the sword was made by a prop-maker I met at Naruto.fi. It was amazing-wood, weighted like a ton and all the blades were separated and moved. It was amazing.<br />

Ah, a classic. Made to Animecon 2008 literally two days before the 'con. Character is from anime Ouran High School host club, and it is handpuppet called Beelzeneff. Yes, I admit-I pretended to be a handpuppet. It was great fun, though. It was funny to see other people's faces behind the mask, and I even found the owner of the puppet, Nekozawa.<br />

Then came long period of nothingness. In Gymnasium, I lost almost all interest in anime and manga. Then, at the senior year, we had this shindig/masquerade called Penkkarit. We had a theme, and that theme was Superheroes. When you're overweight, you don't have many superHEROES that are same body-type as you. But, I managed to find and make me a pretty rocking suit after all:<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">The Thing. My old hoodie covered in pieces of cardboard painted orange, hockey gloves and mask over head. It was awesome, even if I do say so myself. It was warm enough, for we toured our hometown in a back of a truck throwing candy to schools and daycares. One of my schoolmates was not so lucky-he was He-Man, with only the belts and fur-speedo.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;">After I graduated from Gymnasium, I started my Siviilipalvelus (Civilian service, alternate for army) and I had reconnected with my love for western comics. I bought and read lots of comics-Batman mostly, but also Scott Pilgrim, Justice League, Avengers and Hellboy. And since I wore that Thing-costume, I ad this knack in my head, to cosplay again. And I followed that knack. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Tampere Kuplii-comics festival 2012 granted me a great opportunity for this. Jonathan Crane, aka Scarecrow from Batman was my choice. Easily my best costume ever. Simple to make (except maybe for the mask), easy to wear and looked totally awesome. I even took part in costume contest. I didn't win, but I sure had a blast! I used this costume again at Ropecon 2013 this year.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;">After success, I started planning more. Mad Hatter, Two-Face, Penguin-there where many ideas! I finally settled to one. To know it, you only need to look up! Can you guess? Not yet? Give up!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;"><br />Yes. Edward Nygma aka the Riddler! Riddler is one of my favourite characters ever, and I looked forward making this costume. I made it for Tracon 2012. It was pretty simple-I just needed Green smoking jacket. Bowler hat I already had, and I made the questionmark-cane myself. In the end, it was OK. I kinda failed in the question marks at coat, but I still had a great day! I took part to cosplay-show, where you had this three-minute long skit.

Yup, that's about all I like about cosplay. To be someone different, someone that is not a real thing. Something more than overweight, jobless nobody who has no direction in his life.<br />
<br />
Yeah, that's me. My name is Atte. I live in Finland, and I'm currently trying to get to university to study religion. I hope someday, that I could be a teacher, and educating young people about religions and why we need to study them. On the other hand, I possibly would be much happier if I could work at the Fantasiapelit (Local nerd store) and just make costumes for conventions. And go to a Comic-con.<br />
<br />
I read LOTS of comics. DC, Marvel, Darkhorse, Donald Duck, Finnish independent comics, manga and stuff. DC and Marvel are the gateway to a more exciting and purer world, where people stand up for each other. Donald Duck is hero of my childhood. Manga-well, nowadays I just read One Piece and Vinland Saga, but they are different kind of world, where everything is possible. Comics are my wormhole out of depressing, oppressing reality. And when I Cosplay, I go in there.<br />
<br />
I'm overweight. I weight almost 300 pounds (that's 140 kilos for us), and I'm quite tall, 6'3'' (193 cm) so that makes it a little better. I have not always been overweight. And I have been trying to loose weight. But I'm big dude anyway. I have trouble sitting on a bus because my legs are so frigging tall. I can't buy clothes from normal supermarkets, because they have the sizes only for normal people. Every time I win a t-shirt or hoodie, I can't wear it because it's too small. And that's bloody annoying.<br />
<br />
And I get the look when I cosplay. Couple of years ago, I had this Riddler costume. it was super fun day. I even entered the Cosplay-show and had a blast. But for some people, that is not good thing. I get the look. I can't be Riddler, I'm not lanky or thin. Same deal with Scarecrow. He is supposed to be thin man, you're a fucking bear. And I don't like it. It's like I'm some kind of joke to other cosplayers, who look like models and stuff. At first, I got bit depressed for it. It didn't encourage to plan for next con's. But I got over it. I'm big, so what? Maybe I was home when there was food, but that doesn't mean I can't have fun while cosplaying someone not overweight.<br />
<br />
TLDR-this is Cosplay log for an overweight cosplayer-C'est moi. I will post pictures of my old costumes, and update from the upcoming costumes. I will happily take any helps and tips from you readers, and look forward for your comments about the costumes.<br />
