Fan Expo Canada 2013 and The Last of Us!

Let me start by saying it was great, and I'd say for the first year being a vender, I'm happy with the outcome and will be attending  next year!

This post however will primarily be about The Last of Us well and the Expo. Now if I'd been more organized and hadn't had a few curve balls, I would have had a post about my costume before the event, but after will have to do. If you are not familiar with The Last of Us it is a Play Station Exclusive video game that has great game play, great graphics and an amazing character driven plot! One of my favorite games of the year. So for Fan Ex I decided to Cosplay as Ellie a strong willed, rough edged teenager.  

 

 I compiled all the part bit by bit including learning how to silk screen so I could wear her signature T-shirt. I noticed when putting this costume together a lot of detail went into the backpacks of the characters concerting your looking at them for most of the game. This lead my to try and recreate the little monster which appears on her bag through out the game and get custom buttons printed.

  
Because of this costume I meet some awesome people including two of the Dangerous Ladies, who happen to know their way around cosplaying quite well. On the last day of the con I (Ellie) met up with  Jenn (Tess), Brad (Joel)  to do a spur of the moment Last of Us photo shoot. Thanks to Josh of JJAB Productions  For taking these grand shoots!

These are a few of my Favs:

Now to get improving my Costume for the Toronto Zombie walk!
