My John Egbert costume, from Anime Punch 2011

Photo taken by the fantastic
And fiddled with/edited by me.

I love the weird shadow my wig casts in this shot.
The ominous, derpy shadow.

EDIT: The business-end of Zillyhoo is basically hollow, wooden boxes. I used some PVC pipe for the handle, and for the back, I made the base shape out of carved, pink insulation foam, and then glued strips of caulk saver on top to create that rainbow... texture. Thing. And the guy at the end is paper clay over a foam ball. All primed with autobody spray primer, and finished with all the acrylics of the rainbow, as well as the tears of a Candy Corn Vampire.

All your Homestuck and John are belong to Andrew Hussie

Could I ask, what are the dimensions of your zillyhoo? I've been trying to size mine for ages but nothing looks right ><

my friends and i have been oohing and awwing about it all week, and then i found you page. O:

we are cosplaying as homestuck trolls for kumoricon, but we don't have a john (on purpose) because we know we could never compete with you. -____-

NO!!!
No don't be that way, you must do all the Homestuck cosplay!
I was just at Otakon wearing Karkat and Eridan, you see, and there was SO MUCH Homestuck cosplay, I literally think it can take over the con world, we just have to try :>

CleoWingss In reply to leaux [2011-08-08 01:11:46 +0000 UTC]

i think it should. that would make me smile.
we have a karkat (me), gam, kan, fef, and nep. yep xD
i think we may also have an aradia and a terezi. which would be awesome.

do you think there could be a way for you to send me the dimension for it, I'm planing on making one for comicon and this would be a great help ^-^ and how exactly would I go about procuring some tears of a candy corn Vampire?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

leaux In reply to ghostlyTrickster [2011-05-24 13:18:58 +0000 UTC]

Well I can tell you for sure that it's 24" tall, and the widest part of the hammer is 8.5" or so across.

And the tears of a Candy Corn Vampire can only be procured from betwixt the pages of that great epic, Problem Sleuth.

ghostlyTrickster In reply to leaux [2011-05-24 14:26:08 +0000 UTC]

well that explains that I just jumped right into Homestuck, I tried to get into Problem Sleuth but I never could. Now all I have to do is make the Cosby top headphones and I'm set Thank you for the help
