Arisia Cosplay: Frodo!

[mijan]

My brain is too tired to come up with anything coherent to say about Arisia other than the obvious fact that awesome convention was awesome.  However, while my verbal skills are currently lacking, that won't prevent me from offering Frodo Cosplay Picspam!  Here are some pics of me cosplaying as Frodo at Arisia.

One teaser:



First, here's my masquerade presentation, in order:

Frodo in the Shire. No ring, no war, no stress... yet:


Frodo receives the ring and realizes what he's gotten himself into.


Frodo receives his sword, Sting, from Elrond at Rivendell, upon becoming part of the Fellowship.


A closer look at the sword.


Frodo examines his blade.  I had to keep the sword peace-bonded into the scabbard for safety onstage, so I couldn't pull it out all the way, but it worked.  I love this picture:


One look back before venturing forward:


Frodo receives the Elven cloak and the light of Elendil from Galadriel.


Frodo approaches Mount Doom and prepares to drop the Ring. Gollum stalks Frodo and prepares to make his move for the Ring.


Tempted by the Ring's power... Frodo changes his mind and is briefly corrupted by the Ring.


After a brief struggle with Gollum, the entire stage goes dark and the music goes silent.  A few seconds later, a spotlight comes on as the theme "Into the West" begins to play, signifying that Frodo's quest is over:


One last look back before Frodo travels to the Grey Havens:



A couple more cosplay pics:






I've got some more pics, but I'll add them later.

Thank you! But alas, no new pics of me as McCoy. My hair was too long for good McCoy cosplay anyway (I had to grow it out for Frodo). I have old cosplay pics of me as McCoy here:

Did you catch any good cosplay pics? I'd love to see what you snapped! :D

I took a buncho of pictures of people in costume... need to figure out where to upload them to. Flikr seems like an obvious choice, given the Arisia tag people are using, but perhaps picasa also had said tag.
