Universe: Avatar: the Last Airbender (S03E10 "Day of Black Sun")
Event: Supanova Melbourne 2011
Debut: April 9th 2011
Awards: Runner up "Best group" Saturday Madman Cosplay Competition

Photographer: SamXSam [link]

===============================
Introducing our epic Gaang, five months in the making. All costumes and props were completely handmade. Our main focus was to create real characters with realistic garments and props. Therefore we tried to use quality fabrics and materials, and concentrated on getting all the details right.

We won runner up for best group, which is a huge deal for us as it was our first ever skit - and two of our number were first time cosplayers.

Big thanks to Red (our Suki) who unfortunately couldn't make it, but still managed to help us set up, and did amazing makeup and hair for Zuko, Toph and Sokka. Also, huge thank you to Peta of Silk Bazaar [link] for making our beautiful silk veil poi for Katara and Zuko (even though she had only just come out of hospital!); and our wonderful photographers SamXSam and Miranda.

I am so proud of my Gaang, you are all so amazingly talented and dedicated, the weekend was like walking in a dream made real. It is an honour to have such a fantastic group of friends!

More information about the process behind each character will be posted with individual photos.

A final thank you and big hugs to all the people at Supanova who said hi, got photos, and made us feel so loved and awesome. We love you all

Your skit was wonderful. All of your props were so amazing. My friend thought Toph's rock was a real boulder. Zuko had his double swords?! I totally missed that!! Awesome!!

Aw thanks!!! It took me so long to work out that boulder - I had all these processes and materials in mind. I made it the day before the con using some plastic-y foam I found in a box from my dad's new tv. (I had tried styrofoam but the spray paint melted it :S). It worked really well, super light but the perfect texture, and I could even "poi" with it.
Pffsh. I made those double swords and Sokka did the scabbard, and then Zuko refused to wear it... OK so it was really, really heavy. They do fit together and they were held together with magnets XD [link] [link]
Omg going back and explaining all the things I did, I'm only just starting to realise how much freaking work I did on this... >__<

Yeah, I've had problems with styrofoam/spray paint before too when making a Lady Gaga costume. Fff. I don't even have pictures up of like... half the cosplays I've done. I guess a lot are unfinished. I need to get on that. :U

AWWW ZUKOOOO I'm glad there's at least a picture of them! You guys did do SOOO MUCH WORK!! I can't even fathom. Now I want a job so I can just channel money into my cosplay. My priorities are so straight.
