Finished the Mortal Kombat commission of Frost's mask.
I started with my head dummy Adolf and oil clay. After sculpting and a failed paster mold, I finally got it to work and cast the final product in rd-407 latex.  The latex was tinted with blue to save in painting time.  The actual painting was done with an airbrush, then sealed with perma-wet.
Oh. And come like my group's Facebook page and keep up to date with what we're doing with costumes and what conventions we're going to!

Finished Rory, thinking about starting Amy next:

And I'm waiting for the weather to clear up so I can get some plaster work done. I have a Mortal Kombat mask to finish, then I'm doing an Asari headpeice for a friend so she can join our Mass Effect group as Liara.

After years of living in Texas, I finally made it to SXSW. For those not familiar, it's a big trade show that features music, movies and tech. For the past six years or so, they've had a section called Screenburn for everything video game related. And this year, they had a cosplay contest.
Wearing cosplay there was different from being at an anime or comic book convention. Overall, there may have been about 30 cosplayers there total. And hundreds of none-costumed guests that couldn't get enough of seeing the costumes. I could get used to the amount of attention a costume receives there. lol
Throughout Sunday, I and those of my group were interviewed and filmed at least three times. Erin and I were even asked to stand next to a Dutch reporter while he was being filmed. 
A big congratulations goes out to Evil Pastry Studios for running the cosplay contest so well. It was on time (a big problem some cons have) and very professional.
As for the results of the contest, everyone in the group won something. I recieved a Judge's Award for Jun. Erin got Best VideoGame Adapatation for Rydia from FF4  and my brother Carl got Best in Show for his Commander Sheperd from ME2. I'm so proud of him!
