EPICon Costume Contest
Hello, I'm Titania McGee with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date EPICon information!
Just moments ago, convention officials announced the opening of a Cosplay Contest that will be taking place next week. The reaction from fans was immediate, with many rushing to don their handmade costumes and submit their entries before the lines get too long. Why, twice already I've been complimented on my "excellent" news reporter outfit!
If any of you are attending the convention and wish to enter, you have until Sunday at midnight to get your costumes together, as judging begins first thing on Monday.

Oh maaan, it took me days of mucking around with HA generators (and 3mil) but I finally got an Aang cosplay that's at least recognizable. I think. n_n;
I entered as Princess Peach <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Oooh, I'm so glad I de-poofed when I did! This was the perfect time to come back to subeta, it seems. :3
I second that my HA needs tweeking <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_xface.gif" border="0" />
I entered!
I hope this will help me in some way since I'm not doing so well with restocking... <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy_sweatdrop.gif" border="0" />

Woot entered as Jill Valentine [RE3] just because I have nothing better to do (and because I want to see other peoples cosplay xD)
Heh, even though I'm on vacation...I'm SO glad the net lasted long enough for me to enter lol.
I hope we can make a last-minute edit to our costumes before they get finalised--we can change the ref pic but not our costumes??--I found the perfect extra accessory...I doubt I'll win or place but submitting my best effort would be more fun than one which I know I can do better than.
Kiari from Kingdom Hearts. Yeah, first person I though of. I like my HA though it isn't amazing. About 6 mill spent on backgrounds and a few other things I didn't already have ^^
Entered after all! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
Entered as North Italy from Hetalia just for fun <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
narf, subeta don't want me to post.
Drizzt Do'Urden ftw xD
It is too bad, that I don't have an black leopard.

Good luck everyone!

Bagheera23608 a few comments down is right. The character doesn't have to be from anime, manga, a Japanese game, or anything else that's Japanese. If you dress up as Buffy or Romeo or Barbapapa or Huckleberry Finn, that's cosplay. (Just saying this because there are still comments around the site along the lines of "Nice idea, but I don't know anime".)
Entered mine! Dunno if people know her <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" />`but I loved making this cosplay! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> YAY subeta.
I messed up my description. Left out Runaway Eyeliner. Bah! Will we be able to edit it in the future?
I entered my version of Yuffie. I forgot to change a couple of little things, but I do not think it would really matter that much. I really want to see the other entry's!! Cannot wait for the voting ^^.
I'll be entering my Cubone, but I'll probably change back to Lugia afterward. I like lugia better than cubone, but I think my cubone cosplay has a better chance at winning. But I probably won't win anyway. XD
I wonder if someone will just draw a picture of their HA pet it as a reference
people thought it's a picture of a manga/anime character
then they think "omg they look so alike!" and vote for them.......
I'm just saying, cuz when I'm trying to find a reference from the anime
spend like an hour and couldn't get anything I want
then I have the idea of "why don't I just DRAW one for my HA?"
but I'm too lazy to do that so I just keep finding my picture.....
well, this game is still fun although we need clearer rules :p

I know nothing about anything anime/magna. So even if the best costume is in that category, I prolly wouldn't vote for it, cuz I don't know it. I know something in that genre will win cuz that's what you crazy kids are into these days, but I'm more of a traditionalist. I won't be offended if someone doesn't vote for me for whatever reason, that's why it's called voting. And I don't know any of the "big name" HA people, so I hope I'm as fair as possible. I'm looking for a good HA that matches well the comparison pic provided. In my case, there may not even be a comparison pic......Have fun folks! It's just a game!
For everyone not wanting names to be displayed: Even if they aren't there, it can never be a perfect system. Many of the well-known HA makers post all over the forums, so you would see their entry associated with their name assuming they are still wearing the costume. It can still be based on popularity.
Either way, I don't think ANY voting contest like this will ever be completely fair, but we can still have fun with it. :]

aww I want to change my description <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />
Fun, fun. I know I don't have a chance of winning, but it was still fun and spent waaaaaay too much. Can't wait to see all the amazing entries.
Sounds like fun, but here's hoping that names aren't included. If this turned into a popularity contest, I.. I'm really not going to like that. :|
And even then, I bet that all of the really popular fandoms are going to win. xD;

I hope the username isn't included when voting. It will just tern into a popularity contest if it is shown on the voting page what avatar belongs to who.
By the way, I spent less than 20k on this outfit and that includes the haircut fee. xD I already owned all the expensive stuff. Woo!
(Ffffff- stupid smilies that break comments.)
I... guess I'm... dressed as Zombie!GS4!Phoenix Wright. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />

"Will the judging be anonymous? That is to say, are the HAs anonymous? Otherwise it will just be a popularity contest..."
This please. 100 percent.

...Damnit <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" /> i'm out of money and my dress is still really odd and off-model. Oh well, off to fix it and possibly earn the money for the new dress!
-wonders if she should've inserted some HTML in there...-
All set up as Da Lung, from Hai Pai Tian Xin (Hi, My Sweetheart). Highly doubt anyone will recognize him, BUT HERE GOES NOTHING.
This should be fun to see happen. c:
