Novan Cosplay

How terrible am I at updating this page? This photo was taken at Comic Con Honolulu 2018 and I just forgot to share it here. So here’s one of the photos I got back from my mini photo shoot with Zarli Win. This wasn’t planned I just sort of happened cause I was helping out with another photo shoot. I absolutely love how this turned out. In real life I’m quite goofy and awkward but this I actually look serious like I’m actually hunting dinosaurs.

What’s cooking? An excellent question.

I really like how these photos came out. The look of the neon in the photos it’s just really pretty. It’s even funnier that this was a joke costume I didn’t take seriously at all. But still it was a lot of fun.

I’m notoriously bad at posting so hey look at that! I give you the master chef. I put this together because I wanted an easy costume to wear for comic con Honolulu abs this was surprisingly a hit. A lot of “oh wait a minute? Ahhhh now I get it!” moments. Anyways afterwards my friend at on Instagram proposed we do something interesting and this is the result. Stay tuned for more.

Dream costumes do corn true my friends and this isn’t a April Fools prank. I got the chance to acquire a dream costume last year and debuted it this past kawaii kon. Briareos from Appleseed and even more awesome I got Magical Michi Cosplay to join me as Deunan. This was a lot of fun and to wear but a challenge that I’ll go into another day. In the mean time happy Easter everyone hope you all have a good weekend.

Oh yeah hey this is another thing I had working on. Jurassic World ACU. This costume kinda snowballed from last year. Started off with just getting the hat thinking sure I’ll slowly piece this thing together over a long period of time. Well that didn’t quite happen. The costume is nearly exact to the movie except for a few details like my belt and the uniform. But the camo is correct more or less. Camo is typhon by kryptek, plate carrier gloves and boots are from 5.11. Patches are from Honey Badger Defense co. The taser is from Zod Fabrication highly recommend him if you wanna get one too. It’s all foam so it’s a breeze to carry and looks great in pictures. I’m a big fan of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World and I have a few other JP related costumes but I think this is one of my all time favorites. Didn’t think I’d get the chance to wear to this costume and now here it is.

You know the normal just keep sanding just keep sanding. So much sanding you guys wouldn’t believe it.

I’m really quite boring guys. Most of the time stuck in sanding purgatory sanding and sanding. But hey gotta sand if you want a finished piece. This is a little protect been working on for a while hope to debut it next year. Brownie points to those that knows what this is.

I love these night shots. Photo by Marcel Saragena

Hello everyone it's been a while. Wanted to show one of the photos I got from a recent night shoot I did with Marcel Saragena as my Red X. Stay tuned as more comes.

As I'm working on my rocketeer the lovely magical michi cosplay is gonna be my Jenny from the comic book! Hopefully my boots come in so I can bring this to comic con Honolulu this July.

This is one of the costumes I've been working on. One of my all time dream costumes. Helmet is by xcoser and jacket is from south beach leather and the rocket pack was made by myself.

Whether you're at home or on the floor of a convention accidents are gonna happen. What helps is how you handle it. That's what happened with my helmet. I had my helmet off at the convention and as I was holding it it just slipped out of my hands and slid across the floor a few feet. Fortunately it didn't break or crack it was just scuffed up. But that's okay. It's just battle damage and it adds character to it. Especially the black mark on front I love how that turned out.

Here's another piece I repainted. The boomco spiker I repainted recently. I tried a different approach to painting trying give a more realistic weathering for this. I'm happy with how it turned out.

Some of the things I've worked on recently. Destiny Thorn 3D printed by Christopher Works finished by me.

Your move boy wonder. Chicks love a bad boy. Completed Red X suit with my cosplay partner in crime Magical Michi Cosplay as Punk Rock Starfire.

Made some new mods to my RedX armor. Added. New gauntlets, gloves and ab piece.

Hello everyone! It has been quite a while since I've posted here. I've been getting settled into a new job and dealing with a few real world things but I never stopped cosplaying! Kawaii Kon 2017 happened recently and one of the costumes I got to wear is Eddie Valient from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. This was a costume I wanted to do for a long time but never did because I didn't have a group to do it with. Eddie is one of those types that difficult to be recognized unless you have a Roger or a Jessica well I got lucky and found both! Big thank you to Magical Michi Cosplay for being our lovely Roger and Shereen for being our lovely Jessica Rabbit.

A little throwback to a steampunk photoshoot I did a couple of years ago at the Hawaii Railway Society with one of my favorite masks the plague doctor.

Something we found out we could do at Barnes and Noble while waiting.

And here is a photo from the second I attended with the League of Shadows at Barnes and Noble. A big thanks to this location for inviting us. This was a great event and made a lot of kids happy.

First photo from yesterday for Batman day at Other Realms. So for a while I've been slowly putting together a Joker heist costume from the Dark Knight. By slowly I mean really slowly. I still need to get a grey suit and brown shoes. My friend let me borrow his duffle bag and g***k. It's not the best but people liked it.

Hey everyone I'll be Other Realms tomorrow with the League of Shadows Hawaii to help out to help promote the book drive for Shriners Hospital. If you age any old books you want to donate and go some time come on down just want to hang out with some of Gotham's greatest and baddest.

Got my new forearms finished up for red X. I figured eh why not

Hello hello everyone. Sorry I've been quiet on here lately. It's been a bit crazy and I haven't been able to do much cosplay stuff. But hey bright side is things are looking good for me so I can get back to make costumes. But in the meantime here's something fun I got to do a few years ago. For season 1 of Hawaii Five-0 myself and a lot of my friends got hired to be extras for a scene that takes place at a comic con style convention and if you look a little to the left of McGarrett there I am. My 5 seconds of fame. It was a lot of fun being on set. Didn't get to really meet the two main actors but I got to see them and they looked pretty chill.

Happy May 4th everyone! Now I don't exactly have a star wars costume besides my Jedi but I haven't gotten any decent pictures of that so instead here's I costume I helped to put together along with my friends at CrossEyed Props. I've gotten the chance to work on many costumes for my friends and learned a lot in the process but this was by far the coolest one I got to work on. Photo by Joits during Star Wars celebration.

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been quiet lately but I've been wrapped up in finals in what will hopefully be the last time. So in the mean time this pretty much sums up how I feel right now.

Hello hello everyone. I'm still waiting on picture sooo in the meantime here is a new costume I'm working on. I picked this up from my buddy who did a fantastic repaint on this mask. I still need to get my grey suit, shoes and the blue duffel bag but all in good time.

Hey everyone! Kawaii kon 2016 is over and wow it's been one hell of a convention. By far one of the best abs most memorable Kawaii kins in years. There's a lot to say and explain but I will do that over the week. Now I gotta go recover cause I'm tired.

So here's that secret cosplay group and its mulan! Working with my friends at CrossEyed Props and the amazing Cheebi who did all the sewing we made it!

First day of Kawaii kon! Here's a little teaser for our secret cosplay group with Cheebi and my crew at CrossEyed Props! If you see me come say hi! I'll be a Jurassic park Vet in the morning

I forgot to post this. Yup this is what's on the work bench now for that group cosplay.

Here's something fun to start the morning off. Me and Cheebi having a fight with sound effects! Hope you all are having a good day. With Kawaii kon next week and a run of costumes that need to worked on still no rest for the weary.
