San Diego Comic-Con, 2003. Twenty years ago. Where the hell did the time go?
Anyway, a group of us worked for the better part of a year to build the 2nd Age elven armor from the Fellowship of the Ring prolong. And then some friends brought their Orc costumes, and we choreographed a short fight sequence. We took the best workmanship award (and most beautiful, which was a kick in the ass!) at the masquerade.
I did the sculpt of the helmet, some parts of the shield, worked on forming the armor, and did a LOT of painting.
Our fearless leader about to brain our friend Matt
Wish I had better pics of these.😭
We just had to put ourselves into that swordline since WETA had that huge mural made for their display booth. I remember a lot of people took pictures, but I've never found any online shares.
I do miss this...but not the sore (OMG SORE!!!) feet by convention end.🤣

Time for some history, since many seem to be unaware that this @GuildWars2 charr cosplay has been around for almost a decade.
This is Temperance of @Komickrazi Studios wearing the unnamed charr cosplay that she made for SDCC 2013, and she won Honorable Mention for Best Recreation in the Masquerade.
I waited to announce on Twitter that I had acquired Hildr until July 20, 2021 which was the 8th anniversary of the charr's convention debut and win. I uploaded a better image to Tumblr with a screenshot of the source.
Prior to my public announcement, I privately teased a few people "What has 4 horns, 4 ears, and has been Komickrazi Studios' security guard since 2013?" They all immediately knew what, or who, I was describing.

Here is the best video yet of our 2017 SDCC Masquerade entry. We performed the story of Daenerys Targeryen to the tune of “Alexander Hamilton” from said musical. We one the Sideshow “Wow Factor” award, and had a freakin’ blast doing it. :D
WARNING: If you are not caught up, there are SPOILERS for Game of Thrones through Season 6!
For those who are interested and can’t make out some of the words, the lyrics are posted below (again, SPOILERS).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TYRION
How does a stormborn, orphan, child of a king and a
Mad man, dropped in the middle of a
Forgotten spot off in the Free Cities by loyalists
Where nothing's ever easy
Grow up to be a queen and a Khaleesi?
VISERYS
The lost duo, down to zero, Master Illyrio (ill-er-o)
Was the big hero, brokering the bride dealo
Riders with their house logo
Money was a flat no-go
By fourteen, they married her off to a
Khal named Drogo
DROGO
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered or bartered
away, at Vaes Dothrak, she struggled to eat a horse heart
Inside, she was growing a stallion to mount the world
Her brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow or barter
JORAH
Where the khalesar came, devastation reigned
A witch cursed her Drogo for vengeance for her pain
Built a pyre for his baby, but walk right out of the blaze
And the burning witch now begs, a sacrifice to her eggs
TYRION
Then the word got around, they said "this chick is insane, man"
Ride a wooden horse 'cross poison water to the mainland
Take the Iron Throne and be the winner of the game, and
The world's gonna know your name. What's your name, ma'm?
DANY
Daenerys Targaryen
My name is Daenerys Targaryen
And I'm the rightful queen of Westeros
So just you wait; just you wait...
MISSANDEI
She took the khalesar to Qarth, warlocks snatched her dragons
DANY
"Dracarys"
MISSANDEI
and see Pyat and the warlocks burned, blackened
Half-dead, breath is worse than their bite, they spit spite
COMPANY
And Daxos got sealed up in his empty vault, tight
VARYS
Bartered for Unsullied, Unsullied committed hericide
Rallying all people to her side, let the slaves decide
Her voice saying
DANY
"People have every right to be free!"
VARYS
They flooded avenues for mhysa here from Yunkai to Mereen.
TYRION
She could've set sail for home Unsull-
ied armies at her back.
Instead she went on a full attack
To free more slaves from further action.
Fought insurgents; urgency demands her retreat, she
Flew away her dragon 'til he dropped her in a field of wheat
Captured by khals, took her home as a lost dosh kaleen
Thinking they're her future, see her now as she stands in
The flames of their shrine; khals dead to the last man
There's just one gal to lead your whole clan
COMPANY DANY
There's just one who can
lead our whole clan— Just you wait!
There's just one who can
lead our whole clan— Just you wait!
COMPANY
There's just one who can lead our whole clan
WOMEN
There's just one—
MEN
Just one—
DANY
Just you wait!
COMPANY
Daenerys Targaryen
We are conquering our fears for you
You united us all
You never let them take your pride!
Oh Daenerys Targaryen
Daenerys Targaryen
All of Westeros sings for you
They will know you've the only claim
They will know you through blood and flame
The world will never be the same, oh
TYRION
Her ships are in the harbor now
See if you can spot her
Packed up her khalesar
To sail across the water
Baratheons, they hunted her
The Lannisters forgot her
BARRISTAN
Me, I fought for her
DROGO
Me? I died for her
MISSANDEI AND VARYS
We believed in her
JORAH
Me? I loved her
TYRION
And me? I drink and I know things.
DANY & COMPANY
I'm (She's) the rightful queen of Westeros
Through blood and flame!
DANY (spoken)
Shall we begin?
ALL
Daenerys Targaryen!
