Description
"It's been a long time. How have you been? I've been really busy being dead. You know, after you MURDERED ME."I'm so excited to finally share some photos of my Portal 2 GLaDOS cosplay!
I've had the idea for a true-to-game version of GLaDOS for a few years now, and decided to tackle it over the past three months. Of course, that had to include hanging upside down from a five-foot structure (anything for accuracy, right?). I went with her Portal 2 version for the additional detail and grittiness. I made the armor, structure, harness, and backdrop from scratch, including wiring her up with almost a hundred LEDs and painting the in-game graffiti.
Character: GLaDOS (Portal 2)
Photographer: Darkain Multimedia
Constructed and cosplayed by me

This is THE BEST GlaDos cosplay I have ever seen. I LOVE how you did it realistically instead of making a humanized version. Truly awesome.

I made the harness such that all of the armor is attached to my body (separate from the structure) so I could get down and walk around and still be in costume. It's a fairly quick process to get up into the hanging position - I just stand on a stool and attach a bunch of clips to the harness, and then 'fall' forward so all of my weight is suspended.

The entire structure is on wheels, so I had a friend moving me short distances at a time. But I can also get out of the harness fairly quickly and just wear the armor walking around, so I generally moved myself between locations during the con.

I saw a video interview of you wearing this cosplay, and it look so realistic in motion. But seeing it photographed just gives it more believability as I don't fully notice a person holding themselves in this costume (in what I can only guess will be painful after a short while) but GLaDOS herself hanging from a structure.
So fantastically done, and just so amazing to see a cosplay of the true to game version of GLaDOS

I'm glad my efforts for accuracy are appreciated! She seemed like such an interesting engineering challenge, and honestly worked out better than I could have hoped (no falling out of the harness at PAX this year!).

It looks like Fanime will be the next con I bring GLaDOS to (I wish I could take her everywhere, but shipping is a nightmare!)

The armor fits fairly well with a human body (head, torso, legs) and I'm hanging stomach-down ^^
