You should do it anyways then we can compare it to shots from next year and be all OMG ZANE GOT EVEN MORE SUPER RIPPED

If I can get down to an ideal bodyfat percentage I will be pretty aesthetic but definitely not hulkmode. I'll be what's considered ottermode by all of /fit/
We'll see what these next couple of weeks bring. I don't feel like I could do the body paint if I'm not lean because then it just doesn't even work it's like I'm doing it to be ironic or something.
[/quote]Well if you look sorta ripped and you're wearing torn clothing, you're just post-hulk-mode Bruce Banner, but I doubt anyone would get it.

Honestly if I can get cut I'd take any excuse to get my clothing off.

Ok, check this shit:  Doctor Hooah.  Helix just said that and my mind exploded.  

Took me a few days to 'get it' because I was pronouncing it wrong in my head, then I forgot to reply, but this would be genius.

so... mike haggar cosplay?

Sort of relevant...I'm planning on bringing my dslr again (+telephoto lens this time, for options) and would love to take some nice shots of anyone who's willing to pose for photos. Let me know whenever, and we can find a nice location to take some pics.
We have such a large TF2 group this year, it'll be a shame not to take advantage of this (and frankly, photoshoot gathering poses are kind of static and boring). Non-TF2 cosplays also welcome.
Of course I have zero pro cosplay photography experience and my equipment isn't all that great; I'm just interested in practicing taking photos that everyone might enjoy looking at once the con is over.


I'm planning on filling up two memory cards for acen~ (last year's photo count was abysmal)

[/quote]You had mine while DTrain was busy and took like 3 pictures, if I recall.

I plan on probably taking very few pictures, but I'll be dumping my memory card each evening to my laptop, external, dropbox, etc
[/quote]Zane wasn't at ACEN last year! errbady smokin' up in heah

Unless this is some con I don't know about, you might be thinking of Greatbacon or Zaius or someone else.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE

we already quoted the message baddy

[zaneyard]

So hulk isn't going to happen this year, that's my goal for next year

Kinda want to scrounge together a costume set for the scout.
Most of it's just clothing I think I could get it all together in a month.
If anyone who knows clothing can help me identify what kind of backpack and hat the scout has I would be grateful.
Also, I'd have to make a baseball bat huh? Or maybe an inflatable one so I don't get kicked out for bringing a blunt object into the hotel. Any ideas?

Normal baseball bat is fine Zane, they just get tetchy about blades and guns.

Close enough? a la Wayfarers style.

More expensive, more accurate style.

Do you have a Ragstock where you live? It's the go-to store for college kids shopping for Halloween costumes since they have unique items. I know they carry a lot of "retro"-esque plastic-framed sunglasses so you might find a pair in store.
