Great costume Rorschach! - and nice screen name too :D

Could you describe the construction of your shield bracelet? How did you decide on what runes to carve into the staff and blasting rod?

Nah, Jeff's good people.  He would not use this particular power for evil.

Me on the other hand...

I mean... yeah, no one will be evil.

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!

Too cool!  The days of work you must have put into the project really show.

Again, very cool costume. Thanks for sharing a bit how you put it together. It looks very professional. Going through pictures of the various SDCC costumes this year has made me quite envious and inspired. I wanted to cosplay at a few Cons but my girlfriend at the time talked me out of it. Yeah, bad GF.

Nah, Jeff's good people.  He would not use this particular power for evil.

<snip> ...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?

You could always wear the cheesy vampire costume.   :D

Or the tux.   8)

...isn't it the same thing?

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...

You're lucky that you at least have the right body type for Harry; I'm more like Billy after a beer year. :P

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
