Wat? A Cosplay Contest?

It's not here yet but keep an eye out for something in the works. There will be plenty of prizes for both NA/EU players, In-game celebration, and lots of fun to be had. HUGE prizes for the Grand Winners. It will be aimed for the late Spring/Early Summer so this is just a preview of things to come.

While you wait here's an example of what can be expected so everyone can get started on concepts:

1: It will be character based
Meaning: Come up with a character you like the best, your absolute amazing design or horrific creation. Anime, or Comic Book - but it has to be COH enticed - ALL factions allowed.

2: A side by side comparison will be needed.
Meaning: Post a picture of your (In game creation) aside your Cosplay. Or a drawn picture of your COH concept that your Cosplay reflects.

There's plenty more to come at a later date, much later, but I wanted to get a word out now so all of you who are interested can get your brain mojo spinning.

THIS IS JUST FOR REFERENCE and is NOT by any way a submission of my own as I'm doing something different but will not be a competitor:

You have a very interesting model and have done a good job on the artwork. I would suggest you work back into the piece, with an emphasis on the eyes, especially the pupils.

I am the ''model'' and am not the artist. Thanks tho. Lol. That was done for me.

It was actually a cosplay I did of a comic book character. As for the artist, if you want me to link them I can and you can leave comments. Not really a model btw, just a cosplayer sort of. Nothing big.

Someone has to say it.

You are awesome.

There, we now return you to your regularly scheduled forum postings.


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)

I tread pretty lightly in my critique. In one of my first self portrait presentations (a drawing, of course) My instructor pointed out everyone makes the eyes too light when they are starting out. Eyes are one of the darkest parts on the face. In fact, making them even a tad darker is a very good dramatic effect, darkest dAark being the eyes, with whitest white, the whites of the eyes right beside that. Becomes the focal point of the work pretty fast. grats on the costume and modeling presentation, very interesting. I have painted less interesting subject matter lol. The semester of bottles comes right to mind, sigh.

But thanks for the compliment.

Better than me, then.

I'm really into CoH and only a little into cosplay; some of my friends are really into cosplay but not into CoH, and they do most of the legwork on the costumes. Sadly, I doubt the intersection there is enough to get together a submission for your contest, but good luck!

Going to an event in Northwest in a couple months. Maybe I'll try to throw an outfit together. Went to Comicon in SD about 5 years ago, it's pretty crazy. My costume would be closer to what City of... autogenerates when you pick "hero" as the pack. Gotta love a helmet and pointy shoulder pads! Of course, the devil is in the details, making it your own. er, that and looking good in spandex.

I dont see a lot of sewing here, I see alot of shopping for the right color spandex that takes a transfer (the logo) and careful searches for gloves/belts. gl.

UPDATE!

I know! It's the dreaded double post! Oh noes!

But there is a good reason for it.

As for everyone wondering, '' So what type of prizes are we talking here? ''

Well here is a list of *possibilities* that some rednames and I are talking about (to add hype) for this contest, and yes it's a legit contest for both NA&EU!

REMEMBER THESE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!!!!


· Grand Prizers(NA/EU) Yellow Title (Length TBA)
· Costume Codes NA/EU (List TBA)
· Time Cards NA/EU (30/60 Day TBA)
· Memorabilia from Paragon Studios (TBA)
· In-Game Event (In the Works)
· Secret Grand Prizes (High Possibility, In the Works)

· Side Notes:
1: Two Grand Prize Winners (1 Male, 1 Female)
2: Runner-Ups
3: Honorable Mentions

Rules -
Lots of details being worked on but you can definitely count on me to update this thread time to time as the time gets closer, and the closer I get to finalizing the contests rules, guidelines, and legality issues.

Keep your eyes open, this is for everyone on game in all regions around the globe that play on either the NA or EU servers, for VIP & Free Players. Plenty of possibility. The most secured set in stone truth is that it will be a late spring/early summer contest.

Get your imagination cooking everyone!

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Valentine's day is coming up. Should be very easy to find plenty of options to see what works.
