Visit Amazon's Kindle store for Cosplay ebooks

Will the local library and video store be gone soon?

With the increasing popularity of tablets and e-readers - I have pondered this question.

We are a family with 3 children, and possibly about to get our first tablet.  The experts forecast that soon one in three people will have a tablet and they have become more affordable. 

You can now download movies, music and e-books online these days.  Often cheaper than the real thing.



Here are some cosplay e-books available at Amazon.  Mostly DIY cosplay ideas and one is a thriller novel taking place at a Cosplay convention.




Happy Cosplaying!

Comic Con 2013 and Iron on designs

Comic Con 2013



Using iron on designs for DIY Cosplay

If you are making your own cosplay outfits - then using iron on designs can add that extra pizzazz to your costume.  Without spending a fortune on already made costumes.

Many of the costumes seen at Comic Con were made from stretch vinyl and lycra spandex fabrics.  Most of our comic book heroes have outfits made from lycra:

Cat Woman - Superman - Batman - Spiderman - Wonder woman

Walking Dead's Norman Reedus - this week's Cosplay character profile

 
 
 

Character profile Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon

AKA Norman Reedus



Character's name - Daryl Dixon

Featured in - Walking Dead, TV series about a virus that takes over Earth and causes people to become human-eating Zombies.  His weapon of choice is the crossbow.  Daryl Dixon is played by Norman Reedus.  Norman Reedus attended the recent San Diego Comic Con 2013 convention.  He has a son, Mingus Lucien born 1999 to model Helena Christiensen.  He has been a model and featured in various music videos.





Hair - brown spikey hair, facial hair (moustache and goatie).  Rough and ready look.

Eyes - Hazel green.  In 2005, while in Germany, Berlin, Reedus was in a car accident. He had to have surgery and his left eye has a titanium eye socket and 4 screws in his nose.



Costume - Sexy warrior.  Best feature I think is the crossbow.  He wears a brown worn or ripped t-shirt, black torn pants, black leather vest.  Accessories include a necklace with bloody human ears.  And if you get a hold of a motorbike that would be super cool!



 
Personality and background -
Daryl is a Southern hunter and expert tracker who constantly lives in the shadow of his brother, Merle. Like his brother, he is initially shown as volatile, short-tempered, and of questionable repute, but is tolerated by the group due to his survival skills. Daryl becomes furious when Merle goes missing due to Rick Grimes having handcuffed him to a rooftop in Atlanta , eventually leading Rick Grimes to start a search party for him. However, they are unable to find Merle. It is later revealed in season 3, that Merle and Daryl had initially intended to ransack the Atlanta group for supplies.
As the series progresses, Daryl becomes more independent and eventually starts to bond with the group. At the end of the second season, he becomes Rick's right-hand man as Shane becomes more and more unhinged. By season 3, Daryl becomes one of the series main protagonists and has largely shed his aloof personality, with the exception of dealing with strangers. From very early in the series, he is shown to be an extremely proficient zombie killer in both close quarters and ranged weaponry, and later becomes Rick's trusted right-hand man and protector. He also becomes "the go-to guy" of sorts for the group and is now well-liked and respected for his endeavours.

Daryl is now one of only five members of the original Atlanta group who continues to survive, along with Rick, Carl, Glenn, and Carol.

Daryl appears as the main playable protagonist in the 2013 video game The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, focusing on him and Merle during the early days of the zombie apocalypse.  Daryl is shown to be an expert marksman, but his signature weapon is a Horton Scout HD 125 crossbow, which Reedus says he takes home after filming.
