MadDog's Wicked Guide to Wicked Cosplay: Surprise Convention! Boston Comic Con 2014

Welcome Beings of All Sorts

Welcome beings of all sorts! Somehow, you have found this blog. :D I congratulate you on that whether it was through success or failure! My name is Madeleine Schmuch aka MadDog and I am an amateur cosplayer. I will also be your guide here. This blog came to be because I needed to organize my cosplays and constantly work on them so that I would finish them. I thought that if I had a commitment to post I would work more often and would not forget important things. This blog started off as being called "MadDog's Sewing" but has since then turned into a guide to cosplay and has taken on the new name "MadDog's Wicked Guide to Wicked Cosplay." That being said, I'm terrible with names. This blog should really be called "MadDog's Tips That She's Found to be Useful and is now Sharing on a Blog in Hopes That They Might Help Somebody Else in Their Efforts to Cosplay." That name fits this blog much better however, it was a little bit too long. Moving on, I've added new sections to make this blog more informative but they are almost all ongoing sections. (If you need information on certain things now, please shoot me an email. Email: wickedcosplay@yahoo.com) Whether you just want to follow my projects or learn how to start cosplaying, I'm hoping that this blog will be a help. MadDog out! :)

Surprise Convention! Boston Comic Con 2014

Yeah, I know--I was surprised too! Well here you go the third and final post for today. Basically I didn't think I was going to be going to this convention at all because I was going to be getting back from Britain at the end of the week but while in London, my moirail (best friend) messaged me with an idea. She said she could get my ticket early and I could go with her Sunday. My mother (bless her) agreed that I could go so on Sunday we appeared in Boston as Gamzee Makara (me) and Roxy Lalonde (Ana-tama) from Homestuck. The reason we chose these costumes was because they were simple pair (instead of for example, Levi from SnK and Roxy from Homestuck). Now, I personally don't have a lot of floor pictures or Homestcuk meetup and photoshoot pictures so those will appear soon on The Underwater Hemisphere photo creds Ana-tama. My job however was to get pictures of the Costume Contest hosted by Ivy Doomkitty herself so I present them to you now.

And this Warhammer group won best in show. They were incredible but it was really hard to get good pictures of them because they couldn't get onto the stage in their costumes.
