Description Eee. One of my first dabbles in self photography, as my trusty friend photographer who helps me with these impromptu shoots was busy today, and I'd been meaning to test out my skills with just a tripod. :3 Definitely a fun experience, and I'd like to do some more shoots like this one when I'm cosplaying lesser known characters and am not in a park full of children.

So yeah, I jumped on the bandwagon of Jack Frost cosplayers, and decided to give what everybody else had been deeming a simple cosplay a go. (Helps that I related to Jack a lot in the "being invisible" way, though, or else I'd have been Toothiana.)

Construction Notes:
Wig - I actually used a Benny from Arda in Silver for this. In doing so, they have quickly become my favorite short wig, because I swear they're like mini-Jareths when you straighten them out. Didn't have to add any wefts in at all!
Hoodie - Dyed a white one to get the color, took a while to paint everything on. I might be doing another one soon to try a different method of painting and see how it turns out. xD
Pants - Bought the base from JcPenney as a pair of faux leather skinny jeans. From there, I tore up the bottom hem, watered down some white and blue paint, and splattered it all over 'em with one of those bath poofballs. The straps are tacked on swimsuit elastic that were sharpied brown.
Staff - It's made out of PVC Pipe, and is a little over 6 feet tall. Made it where it could break into three pieces, covered it in painter's tape, and spray painted everything a textured brown before going back to detail the frost on with a make-up sponge.

Since a long time I've talked to ya personally. But on a cosplay level...

JACK FROST!!!!! Really, best after-X-mas experience! We end up using our X-Mas gifts (the movie tickets) to go see it and it was amazing~ I want to read the (childrens) novels too, but nyeh I don't have the moolah to get the books. (That and the picture books are like an extension/backstory/history to the Guardians, so yea having gaps apart from the 'core fandom that read every single word and probably drew the novel-based characters...)

Otherwise... Fangirlism.. <3

It has been a while! That's kinda making me sad. :<

But yes, I loved the movie! I personally haven't read the novels either, but that's because I can't find 'em. Hoping soon one of my local bookstores actually gets 'em in stock, because I feel lost in the fandom when they start talking about characters I don't know. Cx;;

I see them on Barnes and Noble when it was still showing in theaters... In the childrens' section. The books look easy to read with huge font and all, but they look amazing with an interesting narration and artwork~ :> They are obviously pricy since they are hardcover, but yea...

There are also two picture books, one for the Man on the Moon, and one for Sandman. All of the books should be at EBay/Amazon or at the Barnes and Noble website if it's still in stock...

Yeah. There's a lot of RotG fans around where I live, so the books have been backordered for months. ;__;
Might give up and order them online, but I might just wait it out.
