OK guys - I mentioned it casually in a BL2 thread earlier, and decided to go for it. Started a week ago (Tuesday 8/20/13) and have to have it finished by DragonCon on 8/29! Whoo! I just now have a little bit of time to share the build!
So, I am turning myself, all 5'6" and nearly 200# of me, into everyone's favorite diminutive dual-wielding deadeye, Salvador The Gunzerker from Borderlands 2! I like having a short and bulky character to cosplay since it fits so well. (I am *also* doing an Aquabats costume this time as well, so if you see me not in Gunzerker mode I might be doing that. I think Gunzerking will be Saturday.)
Photos are uploading as we speak; this thread will be updated with lots before the day is out. While I wait for that, I will run down the build in brief here:
So, I'm doing Sal in the orange shirt with the Vault logo on it, and his normal faux-hawk and beard arrangement. His guns (cause ya need two, naturally!) will be an Infinity pistol and a Torgue assault rifle. I am doing as much as I can with found objects and trips to the dollar store, since DragonCon itself is so damned expensive for us to get to and stay at. I believe my current expenditure for the whole shootin' match is under $60, and half of that was the costume muscle shirt to bulk up my chest and shoulders.
Stay tuned!
