AVCon 2011
Chell Cosplay FTW!

Chell Cosplay - On stage!

So I entered the AVCon cosplay (not Madman) this year as Chell from Portal 2, and won first place Best Skit!

WOOO! First skit win. :) Got a shiny glass trophy too.

AVCon Best Skit Trophy!



I'll be finishing my full write up on construction here:
www.therpf.com/f24/image-heavy…
So if you're looking for more detailed notes, that is where you'll find them.

Just a quick run down:

Portal Gun - 3D model ripped from the game, then my boyfriend fixed strange bits, and made them 'print friendly'. Then sent them to Shapeways for 3D printing. :) See them here - www.shapeways.com/shops/jarlyp…

Portal Boots - Pleaser brand heels with calf wrap made from fiberglass. The springs were made using glass cloth, as well as a carbon / Kevlar weave for flexibility and strength. They're attached with bolts to the calf.

Jumpsuit - Made from a jacket and pants pattern, with stitched lines for detail and knee patches in a different fabric.


None of it would have happened without the help of my boyfriend Justin who practically gave up his life for the construction of this cosplay. I owe him many things. ;p
