Cosplay for DragonCon: Corvo Attano

     For DragonCon 2013, I decided that I wanted to cosplay Corvo Attano from the game Dishonored. 

     I started on the mask by hammering cinefoil onto a prop skull, then cutting the result in half.

Then, I held the two halves together by gluing them to a bunch of speampunk-looking objects. I used washers for the right eyepiece and an doorknob cover for the left one. The jawpieces were held on with glue and copper wire, and I added some extra brass pieces just for decoration.

     The result certainly wasn't perfect, but I felt it stayed pretty loyal to the real thing. For the Jacket, I bought a black trenchcoat from the thrift store and used acrylic gold paint to add the trim. I added an assortment of belts and other accessories to add to the authenticity, and purchased some boots from the thrift store to complete the getup.

However, a Corvo cosplay wouldn't be complete without his retractable sword. It just so happens that Amazon sells extendable swords for Tai Chi training. This sword is awesome, and for around 13 bucks, it's  a great toy to have. After wielding my new sword, I was all set to head off to DragonCon.
