Geek/Pop Culture Costume ideas

[turkishproverb]

I'm looking to put another costume together in time for Dragoncon.

I need a blonde character (lighter shades of blonde generally recommended) with medium build, and hair no longer than neck length, preferably. Stubble a possibility, but beard not, given the timeframe.

Most types of pop culture welcome.

How about Boromir?

How about Boromir?

...I don't think I've ever seen an interpretation of that character I would classify as blonde, honestly, and the lightest I've seen it looks black compared to mine.


Appreciate the suggestion though. :smallsmile:

How about Sanji from One Piece?

Peter Davidson's Doctor Who.

Captain America.

Schroeder from Peanuts.

Moist von Lipwig from Discworld.

Alistair from Dragon Age.

Not really a fan (don't hit! :smalleek:)


Peter Davidson's Doctor Who.

In my closet.:smallbiggrin:


Captain America.

Hmm...do I want to carry a sheild everywhere...


Schroeder from Peanuts.

Same question but with a tiny piano...


Moist von Lipwig from Discworld.

Heh. Now that is tempting. Where to find a gold suit...


Alistair from Dragon Age.

I honestly only played a few minutes of those games... my current comp wasn't...strong...enough.

Bonus points if you can play the Peanuts theme on it.

[turkishproverb]

Alas, I cannot play the piano.

[turkishproverb]

Ok, so far I'm mulling:
Moist,
Cap,
and Schroeder




Anyone have any other ideas? Or know a good place to get a tiny piano?

More suggestions?
If you like


Link from Zelda

I do like that character/set of characters. Not sure I have the legs for it though. :smallwink:


Shizuo Heiwajima from Durarara!!
Hmm...no. Not a bad idea, but no. Not seen enough episodes.


Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay Night
No time to make such armor. Civilian outfit is kinda tempting. Striped jacket aside, I basically own those clothes. Not sure how much of that franchise I remember though...


Finn from Adventure Time
...I...I don't really like that show that much.


Dave Strider from Homestuck
No.

John Constantine
ooooh...I actually kinda like this idea....Need to track down a brown trenchoat...


Green Arrow
Hmm...don't think I have enough time to grow a goatee. Could go with the TV version, I suppose.


Animal Man
I...huh. I never considered that, and I've read a good chunk of those comics.


Longshot
Heh. Liefeild or regular?


Hawkeye
Archers everywhere, it seems.


Roy Batty, Blade Runner
I uh...can't really pull o ff the skinjob's look.


Tate Langdon, American Horror Story
Not a fan. What season was he from, anyway?


Howl, Howl's Moving Castle
I've spent an inordinate amount of time with that haircut, I admit...lot of work though...hrm...


Kisuke Urahara, Bleach
Not really into the show, not gonna lie.


Vash, Trigun
Hmm....lot of red leather...still, it's been a while since I put that much spray in my hair...


Isaac Dian, Baccano
He's more of a brunette. Though I think I have half the elements for that costume already...


Locke Cole, Final Fantasy 6
Wow his costume has been re-interpreted a lot.

Oh, I like you.

I actually forgot Green Arrow had a Van Dyke. His whole image has been consumed by Stephen Amnell.

As for Longshot, whichever you like I guess. I don't think any of Longshot's costume designs are too unreasonable from a cosplay perspective. Black jacket and pants, starburst pattern on the right breast, a belt possibly with X written on it, knife bandolier and assorted pouches are an option.
