*Stares blankly*...not sure I deserved that...but I'm about as thick as Harry about women...what about Summer Knight battle-ready Elaine?

I've given some thought to doing a half-vamped out Susan from that scene. Somewhat ripped black dress, black sclera contacts, dark red tattoos... Hell yes.
*Tries to mop up drool before anyone can see"...that'd be awesome... I'm working on the finer points of engraving chain links if you're interested in doing Elaine...

« on: August 01, 2008, 06:32:49 PM »...isn't it the same thing?
When I referenced the tux, I was thinking of the formal tux from the shindig he went to with Susan in Death Masks. Which would be very cool looking, but perhaps not distinctively Harry.
Ah. True. I'd just be a guy in a tux. Unless I could get a group to come as Susan, Marcone, Gaard, maybe even Nicodemus? Anybody?

Well, I am tall, i'll give ya that, but I'm not as skinny as I picture Harry. I actually think I'm built more like Michael. O_o

Or the tux.
...isn't it the same thing?
I thought Michael was next on your list, Matthew!
He is, but the sword may take my friend a while. The rest is simple. So in lieu of that, I was looking for more Harry incarnations. I kinda like the Vampire Ball Costume idea...

« on: July 31, 2008, 10:02:37 PM »just curious where you got the shield disks and such. didn't know that counted as "trade secrets".
nah. No trade secret. Not as far as I know...ANYwho, I just took a leather strap, punched some holes just big enough for the braid of twine to fit through, and laced some buttons I got at JoAnn's in. I sewed a separate strip of leather on the bottom to keep the twine from chaffing my wrist, and left a loop of it at the end to wrap around one of the buttons to fasten in to my wrist. Pretty simple stuff. The runes on the rod and staff were just various languages, symbols and fonts I found on the internet. They include, but are not limited to: Angelic Script, Elvin, Norse, Kryptonian, Celtic, Demonic, Navajo, and something called "mystic." I bought a burning pen from WalMart, bought some wood and sandpaper from Home Depot, and went to carving and sanding till it looked "natural" and then burned the symbols in. And I ain't eeeven done yet!

Could you describe the construction of your shield bracelet? How did you decide on what runes to carve into the staff and blasting rod?
Well, I took two straps of....heeeeyyyy...waitasecond....how do I know you won't take my trade secrets and use them against me?

Very cool.
Thank you so much! Wow...I was just trying to see if I'd met anyone on here at the con...so...by DragonCon, hopefully I'll have the staff completely carved, and I'll have more of Harry's Business cards, as well as some of the pamphlets (I'm a Wizard! Ask Me How!) and maybe another incarnation of Harry. Any suggestions? I already have Harry from the end of Storm Front (sweats, cowboy boots, and the "easter" tshirt), and generic post-burned hand Harry. I'm also working out shield bracelet 2.0. Any other ideas?
Here's two more pics...

So here's some closeups of my Shield Bracelet and Blasting Rod. I'll try and get some of the staff up when I'm done. Trying to get around Jim's signature right now...

So I met Priscellie by happy coincidence. Did I meet anyone else? I was one of the Dresden clones, but A) I WAS NOT WEARING A HAT and B) I had a goatee. Anyone?

Does the Storm Front specify a color of the Tshirt Harry wears that says "Easter's been cancelled. They found the body"? Kuz I think I'll make that one!
