Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

Cosplay Feature: iObject Cosplay and Law's Injustice Green Lantern

Today I want to feature another male cosplayer who both me and my Dad had the pleasure of chatting with back at NYCC this year. His name is Cliff but goes by his page name of iObject Cosplay and Law. Why the odd name you ask? Well the "Law" part has to do with him in fact being a lawyer and he has talked about issues in the cosplay community mainly regarding rights surrounding cosplayers who sell prints and making deals with their photographers selling the shots. Not only that but Cliff is also an awesome cosplayer and a very interesting guy to talk to!

Cliff alongside his partner Katie George (who you all know from here) made an Injustice cosplay with Green Lantern. What's awesome about this cosplay is the amazing paint job he gave certain parts to the outfit. Some of these pieces include awesome looking boots and a very detailed chest plate! And yes if you look at the above photo, that ring was rigged to work with an extremely thorough step by step process that Cliff outlined on his page!

Regarding the chest plate, it's made up of foam pieces hot glued together then primed and painted. Wiring was also involved to give the armor that light up feel. The ring itself was done by cutting holes in the glove and placing wires/devices through the glove attached to the bottom of the ring. The device is then activated to light up whenever Cliff makes a fist with his hand. This is about as brief as I can probably get and if you want to find out more information I have a link to his cosplay page down at the bottom of this page. The mask looks very well done and overall I love how the cosplay came out, it almost makes me a bit jealous that I could of done something similar regarding Nightwing's Injustice look that I wore at NYCC. I can only do so much with the budget I had though! Alongside another full shot of the completed outfit I also have work in progress pictures that Cliff posted up on his page that are really cool to look at!
