Yes!! IT was my first time at the local CosFest for the first Time! and boy.. are we the only group there going out of that place disappointed!! Firstly, Kudos to the Cosplayers! Seriously, some of them actually work for them costumes, even those with the "buang" costumes should be given credits... But.. apparently.. sad to say, most of the people behind the costumes.. are all epic fails cases.. Either they look really buang.. or they look really really buang.. but.. i'll give kudos to them costumes and effort to get in the character! A job well done to them local cosplayers!!! Costumes over beauty!!
So, with the four of us (Three of us with the intention to find a wife/girlfriend that sunday late afternoon) we set out for Cosfest held at D'marquee at Downtown east.. Journey to the east i think you.. why can't they hold it at city hall or something.. but.. i suppose cosplayers love to travel.. :P
So, back to the story.. when the four of us arrived at the scene.. we were awed by the amount of nerds cosplayers there.. so many colors, so many costumes, so many people and not one worth mentioning..
alright the previous statement was harsh.. there were many worth mentioning.. dissing or praising otherwise!! :P
Though, i honestly can say i have no experience in this.. so my comments are to be taken with a pinch of salt..
The Ugly
When i mean bad.. i mean by how their looks don't suit the style.. or they just don't.. look... well.. you get the jizz..
feel free to open the images on a new window.. imma kinda lazy to target = new :P sorry
Nerds just wanna be Nerds
The Girls are alright.. but see that guy at the bad? Total Buang.. his good in getting in his role.. but.. brrr
I refuse to comment. the Boy/Girl on the far left looks damn eerie..
His sword is nice. His girl, Not So.
Do they even have a day job??
The Bad
The Bad, meaning that .. the effort was either minimal.. awful in taste or just pure bad like Sir Kruser!!
Sir Kruser is bad. Literally!!
Never watched it before... But i spirited away when i saw this..
i'm a huge Star Wars fan.. but when i saw this TIE pilot.. i was very disappointed.. it was a damn midget in it.. Has the empire started hiring kids to fly their ships? No wonder the rebels destroyed Death Star..
Not Innovative. He came as mario last time. Mario again? He should have came as the ? box instead
If you think this is cute.. you got a deranged childhood man.. would you like to dress your 2 year old kid as a golden hair freak who shoots fireball by chanting a whole series of words? You would? well.. good for you :S
and The Good!
And of course the good! There is a number of good shots! i took some of my friends and colleague.. apparently. . the better looking cosplay were on saturday.. pity we didn't attend it. Raid > Cosfest :P
This group of La-femme fatales weren't that bad, especially miss Butler with her skull loving blue suit master.. and her friends.. Poor Mikuru has a bad choice of friends i say..
2 Girls Hugging Each Other? Man.. definitely something to show.. Maccross cosplay to the max!!
Easily, one of the most effort in costume design and what nots (Unless he bought the suit) This GunDAMN deserves sets a threshold on what cosplayer should reproduce.. but thats my two cents :P not everything is a robot :P
One of my favourite. This cosplayer deserves my full kudos on this Cosplay of Cloud Strife from Advent Children, from his hair to the outfit to his ass kicking sword man.. pity i only saw him once or twice..
I'm assuming she's Saya from Blood.. those red eyes helps alot.. plus she's cute.. simple and clean with a sword.
Nothing is Hotter Than A Silent Hill Nurse.. Well.. Maybe The Pipe..
Hideo would be so proud! His idea of box camping has actually be implemented in the world!!
Well, We all know Jon got Lucky that day, his the only guy who managed to scout for a wife
A saluting cosplayer always makes our day!
Another reason why the Empire is weaker.. With the shortage of stormtrooper morale, i can see why this trooper here values that maid!. Way to go Trooper T2912555!
My perfect view of the K-ON! girls.. gone.. but i do admit.. their costumes are damn cool.. what was it called? gothic lolita? something like that? Love Mio(middle)'s Costume and her small hat.. Yui(Left)'s quite cute.. but.. the lady on the left?..well..you find out what's wrong.. :P
We missed some cosplayers on saturday.. but a friend send me some.. kinda regretted not attending on Saturday.. though the events on sunday i heard were better in comparison, here's some of the better looking cosplayers on saturday :P
Ladies, your hair doesn't match your national day clothing, remember it's the 9th of august!
Creepy Yuki, but she beats the sunday Yuki, Sunday Yuki was a Kid Yuki.. ewww
Cool Armor, pose and stuff.. even her sword is cool.. but.. when you seen the lady under the armor.. you wish she was welded to that armor.. but nevertheless..cool breastplate!! :P
Smiley Yuna. Cool Outfit. Buang Smile :P
It's Love at First Sight With This Tora Dora Cosplayer!! Droolss..
Those Headphones are an accessory to lure men in!! and it's working!!! rwaarrrr
Dark Saber has never been this sweet.. damnit.. should have came on saturday..
(U)
All in all, it was rather a fun experience, seeing how people cosplay.. looking at photographers of all sizes.. ranging from nerd size to professional critics and people who just wanna get lucky.. but ain't so lucky after seeing the crowd.. to real hardcore cosplayer who really brings out their character in them..
The events held there were rather unique.. ranging from the standard cosplay costume competition to singing competitions..
and boy, were we shocked at the singing competition.. there was this Indian girl.. who actually sung in Japanese.. and boy was she good.. potential singapore idol material..
As for the prizes.. i feel that the prizes were a bit buang.. The first prize for the costume awards.. was a return ticket from Japan.. Guess what sucker? you have to buy the ticket to go to Japan!! you're stuck here fool!! :P well..at least he has a free return.. ticket.. from japan.. for one.. wonder what he'll do with it :P
We didn't really visited the retails over there.. it seems quite standard.. you know the anime badges, posters, shirts.. some figurines, fan artworks, buttons.. what a normal otaku would love yea.. we didn't have much interest in that section...
Though i was hanging out with +10 Nerd (Kuan) and 2 other +5 nerds (jon, gary) we didn't really check them out yea..
guess it was partly because we're working adults and have no use for this in camp.. :P
Well, i'm kind of looking forward to the next cosfest.. probably have to be more daring and take more photos.. didn't really shoot much this time.. due to shyness.. and this time.. we'll gonna have to drag a female nerd along!! even the odds!!
Till then, we might even cosplay as Slipknot... just need 5 more group members to join us..
i'm sure we'll win the group cosplay prize. :D
Later guys.
Hope you enjoyed the Cosfest with Anti Climax people like us!!
