Otakon is over, time to post all the cool cosplay pictures you took!
There are literally two other threads for Otakon right now. Neither one is saging yet, and both are asking for pics.
This one is Otakon General >>9141953
This one was looking for photographers >>9106280
>>9145390
Those are pretty much just chat threads it looks like.
>>9145422
At this point, yes. But it's best not too have too many threads for the same convention up at the same time. at the very least though it's good to have the links to other threads for the con linked near the top of a new thread as well.
>>9145377
>>9145563
oo these guys were pretty cool,
>>9145380
This is great. Anyone know who this cosplayer is?
>>9146082
I believe that is Karen Cosplay
Gonna post a few pics I found off one of the cosplay photographer groups

Is this dude trying to look like Zak Bagans?
this is what the masquerade was like. seriously.
>>9146540
there weren't very many good cosplays this year. Even looking through this thread shows how lackluster most of them were
>>9146808
Heat does a number on people
>>9146808
It was bullshit hot out this year.
>>9146808
Just speaking from my personal experience this year, almost every single one of my friends and I cut out cosplaying due to the heat. You're not gonna find many people willing to do hardcore cosplay in 100+ degree weather.
>>9145535
>Rage of Bahamut
just fuck me up. I-I'm really inspiried to cosplay again..
>>9146207
I saw and hung out with this Ranko at Otakon! She's so sweet and looked incredible!
>>9146920
everything about this is a goddamn mess.
>>9146802
wtf even is this.
>>9147896
Dont look at Chubusa's crotch
Dont do it
>>9148054
Venus's Hemline is far more upsetting.
>>9148045
Is that Yaya?
>>9148075
Yes. Scarlet Witch.
>>9147896
Most of them are male, right?
>>9147896
ok but moon and mercury are cute as fuck
>>9147910
I was standing in a line behind this entire group and you would not believe how badly made these were. I was surprised the outfits stayed on at all. Duct tape everywhere.
>>9148242
Anymore deets? I used to follow the chick in the middle, i remember seeing her design and was disappointed, finally unfollowed when she started selling prints.
>>9148328
People were flocking to them because of course but up close, the construction was really bad. One girl was some sort of bee (I'm not familiar with Pokemon so forgive me) and it looked like she made the base out of newspaper, painted it, and used black tape for the stripes. Tape was falling off and it was attached with some wonky belt.
They kinda acted like hot shit too which was annoying but I tried to ignore them.
>>9148065
fuck
>>9148545
Because it gets them attention... That and it was disrespectfully hot out so that would be my guess.
>>9148343
The bee girl was probably Beedrill (pic related) and oof with the construction. Was this on Saturday?
>>9148242
Did you see the sharpie marker lines on the back of the Charizard's wings?
>>9147910
The girl on the left blatantly ripped off Nigri, what a dumb slut lol
>>9148332
>This Summer, the cast of How I met Your Mother returns for another Heartwarming tale. With Marshal playing Subaru and someone who's not Lilly playing Best Gi-I mean, Rem. You'll laugh your ass off at... Re:Zero
>>9148717
>>9148720
>>9148723
Saw him while I was blue jacket Lupin. His friend took a picture of us together, but it was shit.
>>9148724
>>9148726
One of favorite's from this year
>>9148728
I told him not to say his name
>>9148250
Stayed in Alucard all day Saturday somehow. No fucking idea why I'm still alive.
>>9148250
>>9148774
Oh stop complaining, I stayed as a drow all day Friday and Saturday. It was hot yeah but well worth it. Even took a walk from our hotel, the Marriott Inner Harbor, to the CVS down by the USS Torsk, probably between 1/4 to 1/2 a mile each way. My best stories from Otakon this year are from that walk.
>>9148904
Not everyone has the same heat tolerance, anon. Don't be a dick just because yours is higher.
>>9148908
I wasn't trying to be a dick, I guess sarcasm doesn't come across well in text form.
A friend of mine spent so much time on his Judge Gabronth costume I figured he'd wear it all weekend. In the end he only wore it for several hours on Friday and I never saw him in it. I razzed him a bit for not wearing it more, but it was in a way that friends do to each other. I razz him for not wearing Gabronth, he razzed me for basically going in black face, hes black himself and had a good laugh. I completely understand why he didn't wear his costume more though.
>>9147896
Jesus Chubbyusa isn't wearing panties
>>9148904
Don't post this on tumblr lmao
>>9148942
Gabranth.
He looked great though.
>>9149132
He did, I just wish I saw him in person. Only thing I saw was the picture his girlfriend took of him with a Fran cosplayer.
>>9148904
I changed mostly because I was wearing two cosplays in one day but my friend was in a full mask/head and had limited vision so that coupled with the heat made it difficult.
The game room was the only place with decent AC.
>>9149135
Wait there was another Fran??
>>9149137
There was a Fran who didn't get her picture taken with Gabranth?
>>9148545
What Nigri designs? I just see shit off of DeviantArt being shown here
>>9148663
Is that one of the members of CosBaes? Looks like there Koopa cosplayer
>>9147900
wtf is that makeup
>>9145380
This is amazing!
>>9145380
Hory shit! Miss Frizzle!
>>9149141
whoops, wrong series lol. my bad
>>9148332
He looks like he's having so much fun
>>9145653
Don't you have some EVE to play?
>>9148904
You did the lips wrong.
>>9146239
Technically he's trying to look like Jeremy Renner trying to look like Clint Barton...
Remember when this was the only Harley Quinn costume you saw at conventions? Pepperidge Farm remembers
>>9153076
I'll be happy when there aren't a million Harley Quinns running around
>>9152853
Dat's racist!
>>9153097
>>9147906
No retouching?
Like, at all?
That chin zit is the W O R S T.
>>9153181
fuck you suicide squad your shitty movie has spawned shitty cosplays
>>9147905
The orange tip is triggering me
Take it off or paint over it you lazy fuck
(unless there's a rule about that)
>>9153076
At least the hammer looks decent
>>9154301
From the Otakon policies Website
The ONLY exception to this rule will be "prop" or resin models that are easily identifiable as toys, provided that they possess no moving parts and are clearly marked with a non-removable orange tip. The exception is with Airsoft guns; they are never acceptable -- see above.
Pic semi-related. Dude is nuts for wearing a repro M40 wool trench coat in that heat
>>9153181
I don't even consider this a cosplay. Zero effort at all.
>>9147896
The fuck is going on with Uranus' shoes?
Otakon always has shitty cosplayers.
>>9157873
The fuck?
>>9157042
>those cupcake wrappers
Like if you're really gonna go all out just make them out of fabric or something, tf
>>9157042
this is a classic example of cosplaying beyond your skill level.
>>9147910
>>9148343
Found the one I was referring to
>otakon is in a larger clusterfuck than baltimore next year
How do they keep fucking up this badly
Everyone get their hotel for next year? I got a room at the Marriott, totally wasn't expecting it due to how fast it sold out.
>>9158420
Eh debating on going seeing it being in washington
>>9158432
There are still a few hotels open so you might want to grab a room just in case you end up going.
>>9158432
Don't debate too long, the closeby hotels have sold out. Might want to start looking for a cheap hotel not too far from a Metro station in suburbia. Recommend the Holiday Inn by the Eisenhower Avenue station.
>>9158420
Everyone have fun! This years Otakon was my last anime con
>>9158460
I work in Silver Spring so I might get a hotel near my office and Metro in.
>>9149677
From the thumbnail i thought it was going to be Powerpuff Girls, and that would have been bad enough.
But good fuck, it was worse.
>>9158608
Did you purposefully take pictures of the worst cosplays there?
>>9158669
Not on purpose, no
>>9157873
is that Miggy Jagger?
>>9158831
Shame on you for taking this and not telling her how crooked her ears were xD
Blue exorcist is cute from the back tho
>>9159499
>Shame on you for taking this and not telling her how crooked her ears were xD
Probably wasn't looking at her ears, perhaps.
>>9148723
He's a fucking cutie wow
>>9158608
dude her knees look busted up
like she owed the wrong people money
>>9158446
Why is that?
>>9154301
The orange part actually looks painted on, so I'm guessing they have a rule about it having a tip
>>9157873
Is this the Sam Hyde I've been hearing about
>>9160543
Lots of people don't want to make the move to DC.
>>9158794
Wtf, well it looks like you did
>>9161384
A-are those nipples?
>>9161441
holy shit I didn't even see that
>>9161461
Me neither! It wasn't like the AC was working all that great during the con...
>>9148332
Why did that fag run past you if he saw you were taking a pic
>>9162127
That boob contour :/
>>9158438
I have to wonder how many people asked her if she was cosplaying Amidala.
>>9162133
Because I knew the guy and it'd make more sense for me to take a picture of both of them instead of just the Rem. It was all in good fun.
>>9162136
>>9162715
Oh god, it's even worse from this angle.
>>9148132
Yeah, except tux.
>>9145535
I love everything about this! Though the hair color should be a little darker.....Thought I'm partly color blind so I could be wrong
>>9163077
This is so clever!! I've been looking at maka cosplays for inspo and just wow, I like how she did this even if it's a lil messy.
>>9158608
After seeing this I hope my name is written in that notebook
>>9163077
Closer-up shot
>>9149677
I like the "Supreme Thunder" brass knuckles though at least.
>>9158303
Eugene stop
>>9147890
What the fuck
>>9167117
all these terrible cosplays and I still can't find one picture of me. granted, I haven't looked very hard but still
The other Otakon thread is gone, so this is it.
>>9157357
But where's the booty tho?
Thanks to everyone who posted in this and the other Otakon thread.
I love Otakon but I haven't been for a while and though I really wanted to go this year I had to cancel in the end.
I was expecting the last Otakon in Baltimore to be something special and full of fantastic cosplays but from the pictures it looks like it was rather sad and empty.
>>9171876
Yeah, this was my 1st one. But it didn't live up to the hype I've heard of it
>>9171971
It was a perfectly cromulent Otakon.
It felt like a downer because a lot of the staff was just going through the motions and thinking about the DC move.
>>9161441
it looks like a poorly pressed dart
>>9174723
holy shit is that eli a boy
Anyone have pics of the Beowulf/Professor Kukui anon?
Kinda liked this guy
>>9176730
>>9176731
>>9175369
...also interested lol
>>9176830
>lol
>>9167189
What did you cosplay as?
>>9157042
Why would you go to all that trouble and not cinch. It makes all the difference between being fat or having curves
Almost forgot to post to keep the thread alive
>>9177230
I was Daria. Got quite a few pictures taken, only found one. I never look very hard because lazy and chances are I'll never find the rest. This happens at every con but I've found that more people will post pictures on Instagram
>>9158549
I actually know these two chicks wew
>>9181401
Were you the black Daria? If so I took your picture.
>>9187648
Whoa really? Maybe I remember you?
>>9187699
I actually cosplayed as Ethan Klein. Want me to post your pic?
>>9187714
I feel like I'm going to regret this ha
>>9187724
You sure you want me to post it? If you don't want to it's okay.
>>9187725
I'm curious but I know I probably look gross af
>>9188075
You sure it's okay if I post it?
>>9188489
Yeah wth, might as well
>>9188674
Okay. Is this you? If so, I think you look nice.
>>9189440
thanks, senpai! I do remember this.
>>9189451
Might as well post my cosplay too. This was the only picture someone took of me that I could find anywhere.
>>9190094
Damn was Otakon that dead this year?
>>9190630
That was at like 10AM Sunday Morning
This is closer to reality
>>9190654
Gender swaps can be fun too. I'll likely be at Dragoncon next year though
>>9190925
I live in Baltimore and I don't have enough for a hotel or plane ticket to Atlanta. I am really REALLY debating on whether or not I'm going to Animore. It's a Black Materia con and that's already a red flag but I don't know.
Should I go? If not, are there any good alternatives or conventions in the Baltimore area I could go to?
>>9191200
Scratch that, not just the Baltimore area, but in Maryland/DC as well.
>>9190808
It was pretty dead this year. Been going for 12 and this is the lowest attendance I've seen since 2008.
>>9191243
Last year was the big drop in attendance, stupid riots
>>9193360
What's MAGFest like?
>>9191207
Katsucon has always been a cosplayer destination, its in National Harbor, will be interesting to see what the casino does to their presence.
BronyCon is trying to be heir apparent to Otakon in the context of filling the BCC
Still not sure if I am going to do this or dragon con next year. In reality I would love to go to Otakon one last time but dragon con is soooo good.
>>9194653
Okay. Gives me time to work on my Jane Lane cosplay. I don't know if I should wear black stockings or black tights. Not sure what to do about her red shirt too. It looks like a blazer, which isn't cheap.
>tfw I got to tap this on Saturday
Best Otakon ever
>>9195879
Poor girl
>>9194653
What's the game room like at Katsucon?
>>9195901
Lacking in variety, but there's a decent 2hu section
>>9195879
Good job anon. She looks kind of cute.
>>9164441
this was literally my verbal reaction when I opened that image.
>>9158794
Looks like this cosplay is still in progress but he decided to wear it anyway.
>>9195879
was she still in cosplay at the time?
>>9196893
Was it in the BCC?
I can't stay at Gaylord for about $250 a night for Katsucon, so I'm trying hotels within a 15 mile radius of where it's being held. Me and my sister will have to share a room to save as much money as possible for the con.
>>9199407
Its probably sold out, but try the Econo-lodge in Alexandria Virginia right across the Woodrow Wilson bridge from National Harbor.
With the opening of the casino, there is talk about expanding the water taxi between Old Town Alexandria and National Harbor...
>>9146799
RKO or Diamond Cutter?
>>9145543
is this wheelchair-chan
>>9200492
Which one in specific? I'm not familiar with Alexandria.
>>9199407
the hotel prices for Otakon are probably the sole reason I am skipping it for Dragon con next year. I mean, yeah Dragon con isn't the cheapest in tickets but I will save a buttload of dosh not having to stay in DC
>>9201884
My mistake, not an Econo-lodge
Here are the hotels on Route 1 South of the Beltway pretty close to to the on-ramp
Southbound:
Budget Host Alexandria
Days Inn
Cedar Lodge
Northbound:
Springhill Suites
Holiday Inn Express
Virginia Lodge
Brookside
Red Roof Inn
Relax Inn
Hampton Inn

Nigga you can't afford $75/night?

>security approaching
Just as anti-fun as ever. I remember getting accused of running from security once, then lectured about how I couldn't have a sword prop because they were illegal as a dozen people walk right past the guy with sword props.
Besides, what the fuck do they think they're gonna do to a Candlejack cospla
>>9204782
>>9168108
That's very good Broccoli cosplay. Even has the I'm gonna kill myself but not before masturbating to my fetish dr. Crusher holoprogram one more time vibe.
>>9205439
Do you have more pictures from this shoot? I've been looking for pictures of my cosplay from the Magi shoot.
>>9208528
Nope, that was a distance shot from the 200 level looking down, sorry
>>9205439
FOOT FETISH GALORE

Why would they do this.
How were the orgies this year? I was overseas on work and couldn't make it.

>>9158831
But her hair and ears are black D:
>>9152257
thats really fun
>>9163077
I think this version is good.
Also who is she? Instagram?
So sad I missed it, was in Ireland. Haven't been to a con in forever.
What's next in the DMV? Is anime usa still a thing?
>>9222298
AnimeUSA is next weekend
Katsucon is in February
>>9214765
The same as every year; you weren't invited.
Gonna miss the string of ice cream trucks when Otakon moves to DC
>>9200492
They actually just added a Metro Bus that tuns From King Street Metro to Nationals harbour. It takes less then 15 minutes and costs $1.75 each way. If someone is staying in a hotel on Route 1 in Alexandria there is also rEX bus that runs up and down Route 1 however it's hours of operation are between 5am and 10pm. I've done Uber and Lyft from my house (I live not too far off of Route 1) to the National Harbour more then once and those were $15 and look less then 20 minutes. I live about twice as far as a lot of the hotels listed too.
Thanks for the tip!
Looks like I hit the image limit
>>9146217
Ram looks like s2j
