Conclusion time!

So yesterday was gamescom... D-day for this costume. It was allot of fun, but sooooooo hard. Hot in the costume, allot of standing and waiting, back ache's... All worth it in the end though.

40 people attended, one by one amazing cosplay's. Some really crazy. I didn't win but I got to stand on a blizzard stage and I got a nice goody bag with blizzard stuff as consolation prize.

Thank you everyone for the nice comments on this thread. And especially @LeClubNerd for helping me get trough this.

Here is the video of the show with a timestamp when i'm on stage:

EDIT: It looks like the time stamp is not working. I'm on at 7:30 minutes.

And some pictures:

The scar went perfectly (thx again LeClubNerd).

I have taken many many pictures with people there but haven't found any. So if you find some post them here if you can!

So this is the last update concerning the actual cosplay.

Thx!

As I was watching the participants walk past the cameras,I noticed that a lot of them seemed to be walking straight for the exit,as if they were shy or intimidated by the crowd.It felt more like a costume catwalk than a cosplay contest where you actually take over the role of your character.
Halfway down the contest,some of them finally seemed to get it and added a little roleplay to it,but nothing overwhelming compared to what I've seen before in other contests.
While I was watching them,I couldn't help myself saying:"C'mon,show them what you got! Put on a show,you have at least a minute or so...".
I have never cosplayed in a contest before myself,but it seemed like a missed opportunity for many,eventhough the costumes where awesome.
Just my impression.

There where strict rules, walk to A, turn, walk to the middle turn, walk to C turn and turn the jury. I forgot to turn to the jury -.-'. For many this was the first time as well. I was soooooooooooooo nervous. I'm already happy i didn't trip!
