Heart of Texas ComicCon 2014 - A Con Report

Heart of Texas ComicCon is a new convention, held in Waco Texas.  Work prevented me from being able to attend on Saturday, but I was able to drive down for the Sunday festivities.  It's the kind of convention I like best - small, intimate and clearly a labor of love. 

The convention staff was great and I should note that they had the most well organized parking lot of any convention held in a community space I've ever attended.  Little details like that can make or break a show and this one was definitely made. I can't wait to see what they do next year!


I premiered a new cosplay for this convention - Slade Wilson from Arrow.  Admittedly, a nice suit and an eye-patch isn't the most complex costume... even if you can dress it up a decent impression of Manu Bennet's voice and accent.  But I'm quite pleased with the result if for no other reason than I think I totally rock a nice suit and eye-patch.


Manu Bennett agreed, for what that's worth.  I got an autographed picture with a nice dedication.


After that, I wander around a bit and said hello to some friends who were also there while taking pictures of the cosplayers and posing for a few myself. I helped Terry Parr of ShoNuff Studios take down his booth, as he decided to leave early due to not feeling well. And I checked in with Michael Champion, as he was in the midst of a new work that I won't spoil but will say looked amazing.

And speaking of looking amazing, time for some cosplay photography!



X-23 and Storm from X-Men


A fencing demonstration by The Shire Of The Emerald Keep.


Black Widow and Jessica Rabbit


A foursome of Sailor Scouts - Mercury, Mars, Moon and Mini-Moon. 


Black Canary 

Lady Annaka Vader as The Sorceress from Masters of the Universe.


Inu Yasha
 
The littlest Sith. Somehow, I think she joined The Dark Side for more than cookies.


Lyndsey Elaine as The White Rabbit.  The Batman villain. Not the Spider-Man villain.


 Glitzy Geek Girl as Black Cat.  This was her first time as a featured guest and her first time running her own table.  She deserves the success, being one of the best cosplayers I know.  Congrats, Anna!

Austin Comic Con - Part Three

Sailor Moon


Chell from Portal.


Captain Marvel, Bullseye and Elektra.


The Green Hornet and Kato.


The Fourth Doctor and Link.


Classic Star Trek crew.


Hit Girl.


Nightwing and Harley Quinn. He was much more excited about meeting Green Arrow than she was.
He also lamented that everyone kept calling him Batman. I was one of the few who recognized him!

Speaking of Harley, here's a nice dress inspired by Harley Quinn.


Steampunk Poison Ivy, The Greatest American Hero as a baby, Darth Vader as a Tween Girl and Grifter.
Somewhere, someone just had an idea on how to make this into a fan-fiction story.


I shall pose for your picture, for Doom likes the cut of your green cowl.
Then Doom will return to his quest for an ultra-rare Doctor Hooves variant figure!
It shall be mine! So swears Doom!


Ariel - here seen with a newly working pair of legs - was working at the booth for Silver Leaf Costumes.


No, Babydoll! Watch out for No Face!
