It's just your facial expression made me laugh. It is a fantastic costume, I have to say.

I've hardly seen any, one of the reasons I decided to do one

I'm going on my own sadly, but that is a very good group cosplay idea.

Maybe someone could be a Tank or Carrier form.

SomeFrenchToast In reply to Sniper0092 [2015-02-11 15:23:01 +0000 UTC]
Carrier Form would be hard to wear though I think

Mr-Mc-Twiggy In reply to Sniper0092 [2015-02-11 00:28:58 +0000 UTC]
Carrier Form is a definite idea, Tank Form would be hard with the size difference.

What about Infection Form?

Mr-Mc-Twiggy In reply to SIERRA-116 [2015-02-13 11:39:25 +0000 UTC]
Would love to make one, but there's no good way to get it around in character.

SIERRA-116 In reply to Mr-Mc-Twiggy [2015-02-14 02:03:32 +0000 UTC]
Perhaps it could be a marine getting infected or about to be infected.

Thank you, it took a good while and a lot of foam ha ha

You're welcome! It was definitely worth the effort! I like it I'm always happy to see I'm not the only one who likes them
I thought of doing a Flood cosplay myself but I don't have the experience and time to do it (at the moment). Would be also nice to have a bunch of people starting a FloodΒ invasion on a convention

Mr-Mc-Twiggy In reply to xxxGravemindxxx [2015-02-11 17:57:46 +0000 UTC]
Maybe I'll find some others at MCM and we can start an invasion
The tricky parts were finding the right colours of spray paint, and making it fit my body.

xxxGravemindxxx In reply to Mr-Mc-Twiggy [2015-02-12 15:35:12 +0000 UTC]
It would be really funny I think
I believe it was difficult to find the right size and everything. Maybe I would start with building a life size copy of myself, so you have something to build everything on.

Mr-Mc-Twiggy In reply to xxxGravemindxxx [2015-02-12 16:04:20 +0000 UTC]
Definitely something i thought of doing, but i didn't want to spend thatmoney so i just made a balloon version of my torso and covered it in paper to give a flat back, then applied the foam. :3

xxxGravemindxxx In reply to Mr-Mc-Twiggy [2015-02-12 17:19:20 +0000 UTC]
Great idea and relatively simple! I've seen somebody who made a copy of is upper half just with an old shirt and duct tape (and used it for tailoring clothes)

No reason to buy something if you can just make it haha

Exactly
Keep up the good work!!!

Unfortunately not. I don't know when I'll have time for a convention during the next months because I'm starting a new job/ studying. So I won't have that much time for my hobbies like before

Mr-Mc-Twiggy In reply to xxxGravemindxxx [2015-02-13 16:44:32 +0000 UTC]
Yeah that's fair, i had a similar circumstance during university, but now i've graduated i have a little more time.

I wish you all the best and hope you'll find a good job! I graduated 3 years ago and didn't find anything, so I have to do something different now.
I think I will test the duct-tape method if I have time and enough room for a new project. Would be also nice to have a statue of myself for tailoring clothes

Mr-Mc-Twiggy In reply to xxxGravemindxxx [2015-02-14 17:57:41 +0000 UTC]
I'm in the same boat really, I have a marine science degree but I'm a digital/concept story and writer.
I wish you all the same luck, and maybe we'll meet some day
Let me know how the duct tape method goes!

xxxGravemindxxx In reply to Mr-Mc-Twiggy [2015-02-15 12:50:37 +0000 UTC]
Thank you so much! I will let you know!
Marine science? Awesome! I'm a geologist that graduated in Palaeontology
Unfortunately there are no jobs for palaeontologists anymore besides the oil industry... something I don't want to work for. I tried to get a PhD position in a museum or research institute but it's so hard to get in there. Everyone told me there was not enough money for PhDs and I realized I came to a dead end.

Yeah everything is so competitive and expensive, especially further education past university. Masters are only really attainable if you're rich or have a good backer.

Same problem here. We call it "Vitamin B" in german (B = "Beziehungen" = connections/ relationships), because if you don't know the right people and have the best connections, you won't geht anything even if you've graduated as one of the best. It's a shame...

Yeah it's a real shame but I guess we'll just have to plod along as best we can :/

That's it. But sometimes you need luck or you have to be in the right place at the right time.
