mijan: (Bones - Starfleet Emblem)
[personal profile] mijan
From the recent parties and events, I've done some cosplay as everyone's favorite 23rd Century doctor, Leonard McCoy, a.k.a. "Bones".  I got a good set of pics, including several of me spinning fire while in costume.  I was working with facial expressions and mannerisms.  I like to really get my characters down when I cosplay.  What do you think?


Two teasers, and the rest below the cut:






I think I liked this flask way too much.  That's some good whiskey in there.  No, seriously.  There is.



Playing with facial expressions.  Goddammit, I wish I was better with raising the one eyebrow. 



More playing with facial expressions.  I like this one.  I was kinda surprised, but then, who ever sees their own profile view?  I seriously am not sure what I look like from the side.



This one was an impromptu snapshot taken by my friend, but because I stay in character whenever I cosplay, even when not intending to take photos, this one really came out well.  I'm pleased!



Oh, I love this one.  Really love this one.



Hehe... yeah, I like me that flask.



Encounter with alien life!  Dammit Jim, I don't know what it is, but I think it's drunk.




She's un-dead, Jim:




Yet another random snapshot.  And hell, the look on my face there... it's a HIDEOUS picture, but it's hilarious.




And now, fire spinning:

















 That was fun!  :D

Dude the flask made me smile. (Very Bones :D ) And it's kinda freaky awesome how much you have the mannerisms down in the pictures. And fire spinning is like wow 0.0 impressive.

*grins* I get into all my cosplay characters like that. I'll do a picspam of me as Frodo sometime. Here's a sample:





It's just a form of acting, only not quite so formal as a stage presentation. I absolutly love it. Oh, and my Harry Potter pics... I'll do some of those another time, too. :D

The flask is a great detail.

I don't know why McCoy is spinning fire but I like it!

I loved the flask. An unholy amount. I need a slightly smaller one. That's what I want for Christmas now.

And McCoy is spinning fire because Mijan was spinning fire. :D

That was at a different party, m'dear. I didn't spin fire at my house.

And... I didn't include the ladies in spandex because it didn't seem appropriate. These are cosplay pics, and they weren't part of my cosplay. The vampire lady agreed to be part of the cosplay, and so did the alien, and so did our lovely redshirt. I'm very careful about what pictures I post for public consumption. Fair? *grins*

Impressive fire-spinning, and you look very Bones-y. Wonderful costume and fitting "facial expressions" :)

From: [identity profile] mijan.livejournal.com
Hehe... I had fun! And thank you - I really try to get cosplay as accurate as I can. Bones is the character I've played who is the biggest stretch for me. I'm short, he's tall, and I've got the least physical resemblance to him of any of the characters I've played so far. But... he's SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY!!! And the flask is fun, too. :D

And I'd only spun fire once before that night, so I was really excited for the change to do it, and in a costume, no less! Made me glad I'd opted NOT to wear Harry Potter or Frodo, as the cloaks and robes would have made spinning impossible.

Fantastic! I LOL at all the Bones expressions, and the ever present flask of whiskey. xD And the fire poi looks gorgeous!

OOh, wow, the fire dancing pictures turned out really well! And I totally don't blame you for clinging onto the flash all night; definitely an awesome flask. :D

Yeah, I was thrilled with how the fire spinning pictures turned out. Absolutely thrilled.

And yesh, I loves me that flask. :D

Well, I've been spinning poi for a while, and I have friends who spin fire. They were doing fire spinning that night, and I just asked if I could take a turn. :D

And... a hot Bones, eh? *grins*

You think he might be willing to share some of that whiskey?

Although seriously, I think my Frodo is the most dead-on accurate. But Bones is just so much fun to play! :D

Encounter with alien life! Dammit Jim, I don't know what it is, but I think it's drunk.

Lmao!

Your facial expressions are classic! Even without the Bones brow. XD

Duuuuuuuuude, fire spinning. It's like ribbon dancing, only more dangerous. :Db

Hehehe... yeah, we had a few drunken aliens. The Romulan Ale was particularly good that evening. ;)

I had fun with the facial expressions. I'll admit, I'm working on the eyebrow thing by practicing in the mirror. It's not easy if you don't naturally have the ability.

Yeah, like ribbon dancing, only... aww, hell, I like living on the edge. I might be cosplaying as McCoy, but I'm a lot more like Jim Kirk. :D

LOL! But you barely know me! But seriously, you're adorable. *grins* Glad you found it amusing!

The thing is... sad thing, really... is that I'll probably need to make a new Starfleet uniform. I started weight-lifting again, and this one has become too snug on my arms. I can fit into it... but it looks like I'm showing off muscles, not being a Starfleet doctor. :p
