I so conquered that sphere. >=3

Mkay, so this is the very beginning of my Max costume. I wasn't able to finish much of it aside from the outfit itself before the con, but it was close enough that I didn't really mind. This costume features my three-fingered Irken gloves and my Invader flag . The clothing is pretty much done, though I might adjust the purple under-shirt so it's the right length. It's too bad you can't see the vest/shirt very well in these photos. =/

Yes, that is a fedora with Irken antennae on it. I threw it together at the last second so that people would recognize me better. It's not actually part of the full costume I'm aiming for, but it's a good stand-in till I get other key Irken features worked in (such as the PAK).

But what do you guys think of the hat? Is it something I should consider keeping until I have a mask?

For those of you going "Wait! Max is a disloyal defective who wants to destroy the empire!" I have an explanation for that. Not that I expect anyone to remember that about her. lol. She was indeed an invader at one point, and she was very good at her job. For the sake of being able to carry around that flag, I decided I was cosplaying her from before she realized she was defective. Yay for after-the-fact justification!

Right now I'm focusing on my Tak outfit for InvaderCON, since that one doesn't require a mask. It's actually coming along better than expected. I'll put together a few photos from Halloween and post them now, since I'm thinking about it. ^^

Oh yeah, the CON! It's so sad it is so far away...

Yeah, I wouldn't be going either it if I didn't have Real Life friends to go with. If it were any further I don't think I'd go even with friends.

How far is it away from you?

InvaderMax In reply to DeviantIrk [2010-12-03 22:47:02 +0000 UTC]

Across the continent, basically. I'll almost be flying from coast to coast; California to Georgia. I'm not stoked about going to the south, but we probably won't be leaving the hotel so it ought to be fine.

Oi, that's pretty far then! I am sure you will not regret having crossed the distance once you are there, though!

The second photo is kinda *erhechmsexyacham*.
I love the hat! But I guess you won't keep it, right?

InvaderMax In reply to Tulpen-Teufel [2010-06-24 00:01:14 +0000 UTC]

Hehe. It was unintentional, but when I saw the photo I rofled. "Yeah, you like my flag staff, don't you Earth beast? Better be careful or I'll go over there and conquer you."

It takes all of two minutes to put back together, and I'm keeping the other pieces no matter what, so I shall have the hat for some time yet. It'll be a stand-in till I get a better mask, or just for casual use. I have an evil plot for a good mask, but like all others it might not / probably won't turn out as well as I'd like. But one can hope!

Oh, I'm excited for the 2011 Invader Con! It seems I'll be going after all, since two of my Real Life friends are. It was too far away to go on my own. We hope to make some pretty epic outfits.

Well, I was more referring to your whole pose, makes your waistline look good. ^^^

I wish I could go there.... T__T

Whoot! This is still epic! I loved your flag. And always love hats with accessories. Can't wait to see more from this cosplay!

Can't wait to see it finished!

Okay, good. ^^ I couldn't decide if it was neat or dumb. lol.

Hopefully that'll be relatively soon. The PAK is under construction and I have a plausible idea for the mask.

Yes it's awesome.

lol are you going to make one that has the spider arms?

InvaderMax In reply to Eceres [2010-06-15 18:28:34 +0000 UTC]

I wish. X.X I'd kill to be able to have a functioning PAK with which I could walk around on spider legs.

Thank you. ^^ The PAK might be done soon. The mask on the other hand...

there's several costume shops around where I live that might sell a rather uncomfortable but useable "noseless" mask which would diminish the appearance of on e having a nose underneath. Not very sure though so you might want to look it up and see what you can find.

InvaderMax In reply to crystalofchaos [2010-06-03 22:46:24 +0000 UTC]

O.O
I've been trying to figure out how to make one of those on my own. If I could buy one that would be much easier. Do you happen to know what the style of mask is called? Google image search isn't giving me much.

If any of those shops have a website with images/things for sale a link would be lovely.

crystalofchaos In reply to InvaderMax [2010-06-04 01:25:26 +0000 UTC]

best I could find is this BUT if you remove the eyebrow areas and the mouth parts, plug up the nsotril holes then BAM noseless :3 Be careful though, because it is meantr to move with your face be sure that you don't cut everything you want to remove away at veryt thick points.

Much thanks. ^^ I shall bookmark it and figure something out!

Now all I need is one for the ears...

crystalofchaos In reply to InvaderMax [2010-06-04 02:48:51 +0000 UTC]

the ears should be easy to hide if you wear a simple green beanie or band under your hat.
It wouldn't be too hard to fashion a good hood from a few layers of panty hose and layering those with latex paint, you'd need a non styled manequin head or something roughly the size and shape of your head to keep it in shape until dry. I imagine it'd be a bit difficult to remove though..

InvaderMax In reply to crystalofchaos [2010-06-04 03:45:54 +0000 UTC]

I've tried the thing with the pantyhose (though I used thin tights). I couldn't get them over my head. =/ Pantyhose seem like they would be so thin that you'd have to have a lot of them. That might take up some money, and the inside of the mask would be liable to be very hard to keep intact (though that second might not be an issue at all, aside from perhaps comfort). I might give it a shot again if I ever end up buying latex. It seems like I'd have to buy latex online, and I loath online shopping. lol.

I've been thinking that a thin balaclava might do the trick, though.

crystalofchaos In reply to InvaderMax [2010-06-04 04:27:02 +0000 UTC]

that would probably do the trick XD any sort of tight hood would work.
