yet more Gally

[rm]

Ianto (marchek) in the coat. Additionally commentary hardly necessary. I mean, how great is this?


redstapler in the coat. Note the airport shuttle in the background? We had to run for it.


An incident with a water bottle, some unstable luggage and the fact that Jill is a fucking precog in the hotel lobby led to our Ianto having to mop up the floor a bit.


The facial expressions in this are just priceless. Thanks to the guys for being such good sports.


Now this is how you do that.


shipchan as nerdy!Owen for the win.


Maybe the one taken on the official camera a second later will be better. Anyway, I was tortured about it (just that I was so freaked) for like five minutes. Now I'm vaguely amused.


marchek as smug!Ten.


Dalek just before trying to exterminate Captain Jack (that would be me). It yelled at me and everything. It was awesome.


Nerdy Owen and Slutty Tosh.

Aha, these are awesome! Nerdy Owen and Slutty Tosh were two of the best things about series 2.

That is just made of win from top to bottom. Love Owen and Ianto. Going for the boys here. Also, first pic is such a mindplay it's really cool.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I think if I saw a Dalek coming at me, yelling, I wouldn't stop running for days. Eeek.

[marchek.livejournal.com]

Oh god. The lulz.
I still can't believe I flooded the lobby floor with my water bottle.

Thanks for posting.

Okay, I HAVE to know.

What pattern did you use for the coat and overcoat for Ten. Ophymirage (friend, beta, and fellow costumer) has promised to help me with muslins and tailoring, but I will confess to being much more comfy with girl patterns than boystuff.

*is thoroughly enjoying this nd the other updates*

Both were actually Ebay finds. I don't know the history of the Ten coat, but my Jack coat was originally made by a German theater in the early 1950s to be a costume piece. After that, someone lined it for outdoor wear and it eventually wound up in the hands of a guy who does a military fetish porn site. Too big for any of his girls he tried to sell it to a Nazi collector on Ebay who returned it when he realized no actual nazis had worn it. Then I got my hands on it, had the tailor make a lot of alterations and changed the buttons.

who returned it when he realized no actual nazis had worn it.

OMG that is actually kinda hilarious.

These pics are gorgeous. And the coat is indeed made of awesome.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And yes, the history of the coat is my favorite story ever. It's very suitable to the use it has now been put to.

[marchek.livejournal.com]

Sadly I can't really help you regarding patterns for these things. I found the coat on ebay after three months of endless searching and the suit I found on the clearance rack at Banana Republic (although I did do extensive alterations on it).

The dw_cosplay community has a couple of links to tutorials for the overcoat and the suit. I have blue/red pinstripe fabric that I intend to turning into another suit using this pattern: http://www.simplicity.com/dv1_v4.cfm?design=3708

Life got complicated over the past three months and the suit was not ready in time for Gallifrey but I do intend of finishing it for future cosplay events.

[loveslashangst.livejournal.com]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Okay, I think I already own that one. If not, that's a piece of cake to find. And the lines AND pockets are right -- when I was at both the London and the Cardiff DW exhibitions (yeah, I got to do both in one trip. It ROCKED!) I was able to get up close and personal with ten's outfit. I LOVE the brown suit, and am committed to doing a version of it.

BTW, for the overcoat, there are 3 gathered seams in the back to make it tailored ever so nicely to that Gallifreyan bum. You can't really tell on the show, and I'd just thought it was the one central gathered seam.

*looks around, chagrinned* As if being a purveyor of Whovian smut weren't nerd enough, I'm a costume geek too.

I'm completely serious, though, fo you or anyone else. If you're coming to ComicCon, keep in touch offlist -- we'll invade, Time Lord style.

I may also be competing in my first ComicCon Masquerade. (I took two Judge's Choice awards at ConJose = WorldCon a coupla years back.)

[contrarywise]

That coat rules the world, I swear! Yay for more awesome pics. And yelling Dalek FTW!

[cat-latin.livejournal.com]

How much do I love so many ladies cosplaying dudes??? Lots, that's how much!

[imaginarycircus.livejournal.com]

OMG JILL!!!!! ♥ She has the Buffy staked Edward shirt on!

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

That shirt is the goddamned funniest thing I have ever seen. I had to buy it.

[imaginarycircus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I covet it.

*drag-king Whovian cosplay FTW!!!!!*

[loveslashangst.livejournal.com]

*sends massive amounts of love*

I'm tackling Ten (I found pinstriped brown wool) for a little inside joke/defense of my Best Master title at my fav regional con.

You guys aren't by any chance coming to the insanity that is ComicCon, are you?

Re: *drag-king Whovian cosplay FTW!!!!!*

[shipchan.livejournal.com]

I am. I'll see if I can convince anyone to venture into the storm with me. :)

Re: *drag-king Whovian cosplay FTW!!!!!*

[loveslashangst.livejournal.com]

*happy!*

Just lemme know. We should coordinate in one way or another.

[jinian.livejournal.com]

I think that is actually sexy!Ten. The confusion is understandable, as the photo achieves heights of hotness unknown in the original.

[marchek.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[marita-c.livejournal.com]

That yelling Dalek was hilarious. At some point a couple of girls decided it just needed a hug, and started cuddling it. It was screaming bloody murder ;D

And you look totally relaxed in your Gareth & Kai photo! Good poker face there. Thankfully, during that photo shoot I was too distracted by Gareth's hideous shirt to be nervous.

(No, not really.)

[rm.livejournal.com]

God, seriously, that shirt should be burned. I mentioned it in passing to a few people who were apparently too blinded by his cuteness to notice, but that shirt was HIDEOUS.

[ophymirage.livejournal.com]

but it does say something about Gareth's level of hotness, that even in that shirt he looks DAMN hot. (and seconded on the Harkness poker-face, you look fantastic. :D)

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I was trembling.

And I'm a professional! Seriously! I should not do that shit.

But in the realm of how silly I am: when I really almost died of squee is when, unable to put his arm around me with all that fabric on, I felt him fist his hand in the back of the coat

[ophymirage.livejournal.com]

rm, intentional or not, that gave me a lovely little shiver-n-twinge. mmmmm...

glad it wasn't me, I probably would have moaned. :)

[rm.livejournal.com]

I smirked, and it was thankfully after Kai asked me if I was okay. Which isn't to say I haven't given the moment more consideration since.

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

Wow. marchek..that pic is just awesome.
And yes, you with the boys, rm...that's a bit of beauty right there!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Well thank you. I'm increasingly less "omg, how lame" about the whole thing, and hey, if I can stand up to their hotness, that's something. Although Gareth's ugly, ugly shirt wasn't doing him any favors, was it?

[hexkitten.livejournal.com]

I have no idea who all of these characters are, but I've been enjoying the pictures!

[lefaym.livejournal.com]

Made of awesome, yet again.

I definitely want the "And then Buffy staked Edward" T-Shirt. And I have to confess, that before I read the caption, I thought that "slutty Tosh" was actually Suzie, but she looks wonderful regardless. :)

[shipchan.livejournal.com]

Ha so awesome! See what happens when I leave, people are spilling water everywhere.

I love the slutty!Tosh nerdy!Owen one. Tosh is all 'none for you, boy.' And everyone in the coat is so great.

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

Note to self: redstapler requires a beverage warning.

And is it just me, or does Gareth look like he's conditioned to make his patented Smokin' Hot Face when in proximity to The Coat?

[rm.livejournal.com]

*actually forcing myself to look at the photo now* -- okay, _that_ is pretty funny.

[coriander.livejournal.com]

Double Triple OMG SQUEE and *fainting*!!!

SO MUCH AWESOME!

Love these shots!
