Cashoo's CoX artwork + art requests!
Totally didn't win the costume contest, and I am suuuuper bummed, but oh well. Better luck next year when I actually have time to work on my costume. LOL. I might do a Freakshow or something. Because the Freakshow is awesome, and I already have ideas written down.
After the contest nearly everyone I walked by told me I should have won. But the winners were reeeeally awesome, so I gotta commend them. I ate dinner with Jay (I think that was his name? He works with the concept artwork IIRC) and the group of Wentworth. Lots of fun. I gotta admit, the expensive ticket was more than worth it. It's a huuuuuge blast. Oh my god. My brain can't handle it. |
Talk about a booby prize. I'd probably turn it down...
Anyway, congratulations on entering! In our eyes, you won!

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Yeah, Jay is pretty awesome. Love the guy. Sexy Jay is indeed very sexy. LOL
Hopefully people will post pictures! I'm waiting for someone to create a thread for it. I only took a couple meaningless pictures at the con myself so I wouldn't be in the position to create one with content. The other cosplayers were pretty good! I REALLY liked that guy in the top hat, medical mask, and black suit. He participated in the costume contest as well, but didn't win. I really wanted to know what his global name was...
I'm pretty sure I'll be going as be a female Chief Juicer from the Freakshow next year. Some guy was helping me a bit through going about the two electrical rod-things on the shoulders. It would be difficult to make, but the payoff would be worth it. I want to kick butt in next year's costume contest so bad! >.<
hehe all have beer expect one person
[i would be that person if i was there
Jay...wearing a cowboy hat.
*swoons*
Cowboys are sooooo hot.
did you make costume parts request's cashoo!
gahhhh! if we knew you would have had he's ear directly we could have given you a list!
awesome stuff though, having dinner with sexy Jay would have been something
It's a shame that you didn't win, but honestly it seems like quite a few people did in fact appreciate your work and effort enough to come and tell you that they believed in your costume. That's quite a nice thing to have, the appreciation from your fellow man.
But honestly, the experience itself was the important thing here. You lived out everything you could have at the con, so there will be *no* lamenting back to what might have happened or what could have been. No, Miss Cashoo, you in fact experienced the totality of what was to be had. You can always carry that with you now and your memories of the event are complete.
Plus, you grew a little bit as a person. Reached a little beyond your own comfort level and for that, we're all proud of you. Next year, it will be all the more easy for you to dress up again and enter the contest once more. The fight today makes the fight tomorrow just a little bit easier.
Well done, Cashoo. I really hope you had a good time.
P.S. Sexy Jay is sexy. Should have gotten him to add female Mortificators into the Vahz!

The Guide to BURN
You're totally right, Suichiro, and I definitely learned a lot. It was a truly enriching experience and I came out of it with a newer mindset.
Eddy - He was bombarded with costume-related questions all day! We talked about it briefly when we ate, but I didn't want to bother him with more requests. The poor guy had to at least enjoy his dinner.
If u get around to me i would like to see what u can do with this guy. background would be with one of the council symbols/flag in the background just like to say that the work ive seen u do is awesome stuff v nice indeed |
And a female Juicer Chief (those are my favorite Freaks!). Possibly a reference for next year's cosplay, but that's a loooong time from now. Also, female Freaks would be more muscular from all the Excelsior pumping through them.
Boring boots are boring, I know. should have studs or something! I'm lazy.
Also, sorry that the electricity is not on the rods. The reference I had showed it right below, and later on did I realize it indeed comes from the rods.
Oh yeah!
I have an unused serial code for a Praetorian Clockwork costume. I don't want it, and I'm sure there's someone else out there that didn't attend HeroCon that wants it. I don't know how I would choose which individual to give it to. I might hold a contest or a raffle or something.
That is one of the most badass fascist scumbags I've ever seen! Love the way you did the pose and the flag in the BG. All very nice.
I've been watching this thread and have a toon that I think you may enjoy drawing. She is a claws/Willpower brute. Her powers are tied in with the Rularuu from the shadow shard.
In the game I can't really represent her powers the way I imagined them but this pic is as close as it comes. She is supposed to be somewhat like venom in the texture of her suit and the way that it just sorta comes from nowhere on her. The claws are Rularuu's Talons. My favorite weapon in the game. The biggest difference from the pic to the version in my head is that it would also have scattered yellow Rularuu esque eyes on the black junk. Sort of like this:
If ya like the concept or you need more info let me know.
Dr_HR's toon looks awesome - great arts as always! You definitely caught the whole "The World Must Be Crushed" vibe!
As for the female Juicer Freak, I love what ya got going there... I don't think you have to go overboard with the muscles at all. Maybe a tad more in the arms but neither Bile or (probably more importantly) Clamor are really BUILT.

I figured I do swooshy capes/cloths way too much, so I tried for something a little more...surreal? If that's the right word. I really hope you like it. He was so much fun. |
seriously WOW well worth the wait for this.
the detail in this is simply wow , the flag is awesome, the way u''ve added it into the background is beautifully done.
TY so much for doing this.
hehe i have art work from the great Cashoo!! v.happy now
..it really shows u enjoyed making my toon come alive.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
At the very least you lost to people who deserved it, instead of losing to someone who's related to one of the judges or something. But man, if that she-Freak pic is a sign of next year's project, you're gonna sweep all categories.
And your rendition of Dr HR's character there is bloody amazing, you can just imagine the harsh militaristic marching tune to go with it.
As for the Clockie code, jolly decent of you to want to try and give it to someone =D
(At this point I *could* make a request, but nothing specific comes to mind and I don't really want to trouble you ^^; )

Way to go Cashoo. Good for you to try something new, and I'm excited to see your Juicer Chief costume.
Stunning work here.
I have a lovely picture of you attempting to cut the head off of a friend that I will post up in a bit. ;7 Totally didn't have a chance to see the thread before I left so had no idea who you were, but the whole Cape crew was impressed with the costume and were glad the Wentworths grabbed you for dinner
Was there no 2nd place... and you got to have dinner with Jay Love?!?! Tell him we need Vampire capes with collars heroside... and a swap button for the CostumeCreator stat!
