I don't think that a similar thread exists, so wanted to post about dressing up or cosplaying as a Freakangel character. As you've all seen by now, Warren and Paul will both be attending London Expo in May 2009.

I've decided to go as KK provided that the costume works out!

Will anyone else be dressing up as a Freakangel character? Perhaps we could meet and do a photoshoot!

If the admins think that this idea sux then please feel free to delete the thread. I am also going to post a blog of how the costume-making is going so will link to that at some point.

Otherwise, perhaps other Whitechapelers can meet up at the Expo?

I'm going to tussle my hair, dye it blonde, take off my clothes, and go as the boy from Lambeth Road.

I'm gonna go as one of the bad guys! Which means I'll starve up, catch lice and cholera, get shot and have my skull crushed, and be dumped on the doorstep with an appropriate message of warning tied around my neck.

I'm attending Comin Con in San Diego this year, and seeing as my hair will be purple i'm thinking about dressing up as Sirrka.

Some kids are thinkin' about doing some "steampunk" gatherings. Could be interesting what kind of effort they'll put into cosplaying.

Its only for a day, so I won't feel too much like a nerd. :P

AwesomeExMachina — Fri, 01 May 2009 12:28:59 -0700

Hey, I'll also be at San Diego Comic Con this year. And I promise I wouldn't actually be naked as previously suggested.

@AwesomeExMachina
You had better be naked!

I was thinking of going to TCAF as KK, even though none such notables will be there.

There are already Steampunk gatherings here in London so if you're interested, just google those as keywords and you can see what they wear. Looks cool, especially a couple called Darren (demondaz) and Audrey.

So far I have finished making the pipe attachments for the corset, half-made the skirt and am working on the jacket - the sleeves are finished off but I need to shorten the jacket, tailor it so it's not so huge, and paint the logo on. I haven't made the bra yet or worked on the boots - shall do those 2 last.

@ diello - PLEASE got to TCAF as KK. So I'll know you when I see you.

diello — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:03:20 -0700

@mister hex
Hehehe, well, I won't look too much like her if I do. My hair's not long enough, I am missing a pipe to stick to my corset, and I am chubby. I don't look like I've suffered an apocalyptic wipe-out very much at all ;)
But we'll see. I will be going there mainly to see my friend Ross Campbell at the OniPress booth.

Tsunami — Fri, 08 May 2009 02:27:18 -0700

I can't go this time but still I'm looking foward to see your cosplay since KK is the cosplay I want to do next.

diello — Fri, 08 May 2009 06:11:18 -0700

Turns out I won't be able to do it. I've lost some vital parts (my FA stencil broke and there's no time to make a new one, and I used to have tubes from an old vacuum cleaner, but it turned out my mom wanted that back). I shall definitely cosplay as her at a bigger and better con, though.

@mister hex (and anyone else going to TCAF):

I look like the girl in this picture: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3590/3427099115_e211e7a123.jpg?v=0
And will most likely be hanging out with a guy who looks similar to that guy (only shorter).
I will be dressed in brown and white, possibly with a white parasol if it's not too much of a hassle to carry. I'll have a grey Cowboy Bebop messenger bag around my shoulder.

And I will have a FreakAngels temporary tattoo on my left arm.

If you find me, come give me a hug and/or a hello :)

Im gonna propably be going to the London Expo as Jack.
I've got most things on my checklist apart from the purple lenses and a string vest/tank top.
Also the tattoo needs figuring out...

I even have a panatella cigar lined up to use as a prop.

Cosplaying Freakangels Characters

UrbanAngel — Sun, 10 May 2009 07:58:05 -0700

I bought my purple lenses from www.contactlenses.co.uk and bought the ones that were 6 pounds each. They're not very purple but they are prescription which is important for me. If you just need coloured ones, try Four Lenses.. they sell them for 15 pounds.

Orpheus — Sun, 10 May 2009 15:08:16 -0700

Interesting. I may well get a pair of those ones...

The only thing is i’m a bit wary on buying stuff, especially things you put ON your eyes, over the internet. Horror stories and all.

I’ve spotted a few over on mainstream lens sellers (spec savers, etc) but they require a course of 6 months (pair per month). Ill have a shop around either way. Thanks!

Unfortunately, all the characters are exclusively in the under 30 set, so I'll quietly stay at home and tend the garden.

Professor Imagine - I don't want to spoil my debut as KK for the London Expo (haha who am I kidding, no one really cares!) but it's kinda important to me to keep it secret. 'Sides, wouldn't want anyone copying me :p (read between the lines: it ain't finished yet and need to sew faster).

@UrbanAngel alas, if only you really were a FreakAngel... then you could sew with your package. (lol)

Top: finished.
Skirt: almost there, had to start from scratch again.
Boots: to be done.
Jacket: just need to do the logo.

Thank goodness I'm at home ill from work today! ;)

I just hope that I don't offend Paul, or indeed Warren, with my attempts at being KK. It did cross my mind that I could be KK from the first few scenes as all I'd need would be a bed sheet... but what with kids about decided against it.

Well, getting the contacts has gone tits up, so im going with option two. Im gonna be painting larger 'anime-esque' eyes over my eyelids and upper cheeks. So. Snazaroo face paint, here we come. I will hopefully be hangin around with a bunch of people, one of which will be dressed as a naruto char and another as CC from code geass.

@UrbanAngel if i see you ill give you a wave and perhapes get a picture, but the Excel is a BIG place. So its a needle in a pile of needles. A perticular needle.

Alas it is indeed true.

I also will be visiting Whitechapel, AND maybe even get a pint in the 10 Bells. On a very geeky note, the 10 Bells is an actual location in London, Whitechapel and featured in FREAKANGELS. Ill let you guys figure out who uses it.

Protip:

Karl used the roof as his garden. FA Ep 3

(Also, good morning, good morning, we danced the... too late to say goodnight... etc.)

steaming badger — Thu, 21 May 2009 01:55:58 -0700

I've decided to go half KK half 'I don't have time to do this I have an exam tomorrow'
To be honest I just wanted a FreakAngels logo on the back of a jackety type thing which I accomplished with the use of a laser cutter to make a stencil. I am quite lazy, yes.
Does it matter that I've only picked out partial elements for the outfit? I've been trying to cut down on how much I spend on costumes and limited myself to whatever I can pick up for free.

I dyed my hair darker the other night, left it in too long and now it's purple. Not complaining, was planning on going a bit blue this summer actually.

Cosplaying Freakangels Characters

UrbanAngel — Thu, 21 May 2009 01:56:12 -0700

Haha do you realise how many Naruto characters will actually be there?? At least a million, give or take a few. I never exaggerate. Or generalise. :o) Yes photos will be posted!

UrbanAngel — Thu, 21 May 2009 02:02:16 -0700

Steaming badger -well with long purple hair you could be Sirkka! Looking forward to seeing how your jacket turns out - am still to do the logo as it looks complicated! I'm also going the stencil route together with acrylic paint.

That would be really freaky! Asking some artists to draw us cosplaying comic characters... I wonder how those pictures would turn out! Probably nothing like the original characters we intended to be :D It's kinda like translating a load of text through Babelfish and then back again.

See you there (come and find us at the VIZ manga stand)

We didn't have time to grab pics, but Paul grabbed a pic of the Miki cosplay, so could we appeal to him to stick it up here?

I did too (i was in the queue with her) so as soon as I'm back at my pc, I'll put mine up.

Hmmm…if Warren comes back to New York I might shave my head and do Arkady in drag. Would they let me use live chikkinz as props?

Cosplaying Freakangels Characters

UrbanAngel — Sun, 31 May 2009 14:59:03 -0700

Thanks for posting them - it's a great costume! :)

Cosplaying Freakangels Characters

Macula — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 07:35:28 -0700

We' stencilled the labcoat. It's got a collection of odd stains and is slightly yellowed. I'm assuming that Miki wouldn't have one fresh and sterilised, and that she'd probably boil the hell out if it, though that'd not really get rid of iodine stains etc.. But, a doctor wears a white coat, so if she's wearing a white coat, then she's a doctor.
There are actually purple contact lenses there, but they don't seen to show up that much
The top is one of Primark's finest, with a print transfer lifted from the wallpaper and photoshopped to f*ck to give it a stippled effect.
There were also paper bags full of nice chalky pills (mint imperials), but.. well, they went :P

Thanks for getting the pictures up

Cosplaying Freakangels Characters

Rootfireember — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:00:14 -0700

-Bleach and two hours can clean almost any labcoat.
That being said I don't know if she would have access to bleach to use that often. So perhaps, saving it for big things, like before/after surgeries and whatnot.
