Doctor Who 'Blink' weeping angel costume

I'm new to the RPF but have had this bookmarked since last year. AMAZING work!! Your attention to detail and skill at creating this costume are inspiring! I saw you at Dragoncon 2009 and have been wanting to do a weeping angel ever since. I am finally getting around to it and would like to have it finished by Halloween. If not, it will definitely be finished for Megacon in March 2011 and of course Dragoncon :-)
Thank you for sharing all the great pics and details, you've done all the hard work! If I can even come close to what you've accomplished, I will be thrilled!

Hey! Its Katrina, the other angel who is friends with Kilayi! I thought I would mention as well that I enjoyed posing and talking with you at Dragon*con!... also Im glad you like our wings but I agree with Kilayi, your definitely more scary with your mask.. and maybe its also because you are taller than us.. lol

Simply amazing! Really well done!

I was just pointed here the other night by a friend of mine and WOW. I had seen the photos from D*C and was amazed. I'm even more amazed at how you pulled this whole thing together! Gorgeous, genius and totally terrifying, all at once.

Thank you for sharing progress photos and info from your build. I'm already inspired to try some of your methods on some future costumes of mine. (Those gloves with the nails? I love those!) I can't wait to see more of your work.

Edit is not working, could not edit my post there.

After showing my wife the weeping angels instructions, she wants to make that one for Halloween next year. So this will be fun to do. and I just realized, you could dress up in it, stand in the front of your house and scare the hell out of people as they come by trick and treating.

I suggested the same thing myself. That would work especially well in neighborhoods where the kids come in short spurts so that fewer people would see the surprise before reaching the house.

This is truly an amazing build. You captured the 'stone' look perfectly. Great character as well, very creepy. I want one for the yard...

Amazing costume! I love it. The angels always scare the crap out of me. Lol

penwiper, if I may ask, can I get a document of the instructions for this that I can print out please?

I just have to say AGAIN that this is one incredible build! My older daughter wants me to attempt this for next Halloween!

my 2 daughters want to be Weeping Angels for halloween....boy am I in trouble

Fantastic!! Well done!! Blink is a great episode...

Brilliant work! nice take on the second version of the mask!! Definitely looks more like the show!

Did you know Doctor Who on Tumblr is using your pic? AMAZING! This costume is why I decided to try the Cyberman. Excellent work!

Congrats!

Congratulations, penwiper! While not a major Dr. Who fan, I had seen this episode and was amazed of the story telling and the creepiness of the story. I also had followed your thread and have been amazed of your talent and ingenuity of recreating this character. Bravo!

An absolutely fantastic costume and congrats to you penwiper for the time and effort for such awesomeness!

These creeped me out on screen and now your costume creeps me out as well.
It is a really well done costume.

I don't have the episode on DVD, can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a male weeping angel or were they all female?

so cool your costume rules and the idea of painted stockings golden pure genius and gluing the nails on too XD love it cannot wait to see what other who monsters you have a crack at

I'm not a Who fan but I saw this at D*C and it was friggin AMAZING!!!! LOL I have friends who are STILL talking about it.

Hi, I've been wanting to do a weeping Angel Cosplay for some time.
May I use some of your ideas to get a costume started?

First, the angels are ABSOLUTELY terrifying to me. I hate them (They're my favorite villiians, but I made the mistake of blinking about the time Amy did this season and opened my eyes to the thing blown up on my screen. My brother still gives me grief about it.)

Second: I think Moffatt needs to hire you. Clearly you've got a great costuming mind! Your costume is great and you strangled Kaylee! LOL

Amazing!

Excellent costume and tutorial! Thanks for sharing- really well done!

Ha! Love it! Great work and story!
