Screen-con

Very late update, but I went to Screen-con (Sci-fi convention) on May 4th, it was it's very first event, and it was fantastic! I was a dealer there so I wanted to keep my costume quite simple, and my table buddy was going as fem!Bofur (just a female version of a character) so I went as fem!Thorin with a Lolita twist.

I made the belt buckle and mini bracers very quick before the con, just out of foam, little test run for Aragorn.

Just wore a big poofy black skirt and top with geometric patterns.

For Screen-con I wanted to look at what was famous in the Sci-fi genre. Well that just pretty much consists of all the 'Star' movies, Star Trek, Star Wars, I never got around to making any Stargate or Battlestar Galactica stuff :(

Here we have part of my face and Star Trek TNG communicator badge, R2D2 and Boba Fett.

After finally getting to North Shields, we walked into a massive hall with rows of tables and set up, I have the bestie with me with her amazing drawings set up (currently persuading her to get her own table at future events, I know she can do it! She's finally getting her confidence back, which is ace). I bought a sign for my stall, but forgot the string, idiot that I am.

Unfortunately there were empty tables either side of mine :/ Which was annoying, as I knew someone who wanted a table, but Screen-con said there wasn't any.... well.
But I managed to pick up Eomer and Laura picked up Gimli.

Sexy mo'fo's

There were alot of amazing cosplay/costumes there, I only managed to get a few pictures of them, I keep telling myself I'll get more!
Oh and there was this lovely Bofur cosplayer too!


Doctor Who cosplayers.

As I said, it was an amazing event to go too, and I can see it doing well in the future, they've already arrange Scream-con for October which I'll be going to. Just hope they sort out events to do during the day, as I couldn't tell what was on myself.
