Shut up, crime! Crimson Bolt cosplay

Hadn't gotten around to posting this from this year's Comicpalooza. A film I absolutely love is the movie "Super" with Rainn Wilson and Elen Page. Rainn's character makes himself terribly crafted superhero costume and fights crime as the Crimson Bolt. It was a great challenge to try for screen accuracy to replicate such a poorly made outfit, within budget and time restraints. The costume took about three weeks, start to finish. Besides not having Rainn's doughy face or his awkwardly stocky proportions, I'm pretty satisfied with how close I got. And a surprising amount of people knew the character and everyone enjoyed shouting catchphrases at me. Sadly, I never saw anyone butt in line during the con.
