Description
My Red Sonja costume at Megacon 2011 in Orlando, Florida. Costume made by myself. Pauldrons made from sintra scrap material (a type of plastic that can be molded when warmed up) and scale mail made from a chrome scrap booking material I found. I sewed the gloves as well so they would match the boots. Gloves are pretty difficult to sew but it was the only actual sewing I had to do on the costume at least. Hand cutting each individual scale mail piece to be a perfect circle of each the same size was the more challenging aspect of this costume. I also had the idea to carry around a severed head. I thought that would be pretty sweet to have a man's head. I couldn't find any volunteers close to the con though, so I went with a dragon's head latex Halloween mask. The sword is real and very beautiful outside it's sheath but the security guards at the convention center were no fun and wouldn't let me wield it around for some reason. lol.Photo by Chris Shields (thank you!)

I like the fact you went with the old school Marvel period costume. Nice clean design, looks like it walked right off the page.

You look fabulous here, as always.
For the idea of a severed head (of some warlord Red Sonja had an issue with) I would have suggested something like the white mask of Mike Myers over one of the generic Styrofoam head molds for wigs. Glue the neck closed at the bottom and paint the face of the mask to be whomever.

ha ha... maybe the convention center's security guards were afraid you cut their heads. How funny. S2

This is Awesome ^Sweet! Can you enlighten as to how you fasten the scales, do they have a little ring at the back?

Indeed I did, it says what they are, but I cant see where it mentions how the scales are secured...

Awesome! Besides your fantasy and accessories, definitely their poses and expressions give still value more for your work. To me, you're much more than eyes see. S2.

While your hair is red, you might do a cosplay Alisia Dragoon.

Gorgeous suit detail and realism. Love the fact you had a real sword to be more authentic with the costume.
Love the pose and the outside pic is perfect to show all aspects of your portrayal of Red Sonja.

Love this costume. You look great in it and I like the boots. The top looks perfect but the bottom looks a bit stiff.

A barbarian army sieging the city....
War is about to break...
Then comes the gorgeous warrior queen of the city... AlisaKiss... In her full ceremonial plate battle bikini of persuasion +5 and winks (light twinkle and sfx included) to the horde amassed beyond the walls...
Suddenly, the deafening clang of thousands of swords and pikes falling... an entire field of mesmerized barbarians merrily rolling in the mud like puppies.... the war is over

As unrealistic and sexist as the armor is... damn does it look great on you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha thanks. At least Red Sonja the character is not the least bit sexist. She's a very strong and self sufficient female.

Great costume and very nice setting for the scene. Too bad about the sword though.

That would be cool to pose with a snake. I just don't know anyone with one. I wanted to do that when I was planning a Sheena queen of the jungle costume.

Yeesh! Wasn't there some way to stamp them out, like with a heavy duty cookie cutter?
