Sister of Battle Costume! Comic con

[Kommissar]

So my wife took the SoB suit i recently finished making out for a spin on Saturday of San Diego Comic Con, the prototype run as it were.
I was in my new commissar costume with my plasma pistol, including manly chops (i'll post shots of that later) and i took some business cards with me, i ran out, and i was not giving them out to just random passers by, they were given to professionals of the industry who were interested in the costume.



The reactions to the costume were mind blowing.
I've been working on this costume for over perhaps 6 months in my spare time, one piece at a time, this was the first day i had seen the whole project completed and assembled fully.
Just trying to cross the dealers/exhibitioners hall took us many hours, as we would get stopped every few steps, and every time we stopped for more than a few seconds, we had a crowd of people coming and going constantly, trying to take pictures for perhaps upto five mins before people had had their fill and we would try to rush along for a few more feet before being stopped once again.

The reactions were priceless, and i was grinning the whole day, so hard, my face hurts!





Oh.. the brave sister even faced a Necron warrior!

[mordheim]

Wow!! 

That costume looks incredible. Well done! And your wife is a perfect Sister

How much did it cost to make it? And are you planning on selling it commercially, as you were handing out business cards?

Looking forward to the photo's of your new Commissar costume.

Simply stunning Kommissar.

Amazing.

My dear Kommissar. You're a lucky guy! A wife who (by the looks of the photos) genuinely enjoys Comic Con. Ow, how rare. Love my GF to the death but couldn't get her to read anything beyond Harry Potter and Twilight.

Twilight doesn't count, it's awful 

Very nice pictures, though I can never understand why people spend so much money on costumes for these cons.

Just... why? Not that it's not awesome, but... why?  

[Kilani]

ok I really really want that outfit that is just so fun.

amazing work kommisar truely amazing. I hope you keep things going with more projects because I am dying to see more pieces from you.

[AJBuwalda]

Twilight doesn't count, it's awful 

Oh, so very true and the movie is even worse. But she is my GF and thus see gets forgiven for that. Aslong as that Cullen-guy isn't hanging in my house, than I can live with it. That and she doesn't mind me playing DH and DnD4E.

Incredible work there - thanks for sharing - your wife looks simply stunning Sir

the two of you together with a caption like "Together they fight Xenos" would be cool !

[Kommissar]

Wow!!

thanks, i feel she does make a great sister, we're both really proud, she took the extra step and dyed her hair for me, instead of wearing a wig, it really made a difference.

the business cards were for publicity, i would love to do things like this professionally, but you have to break into the industry, i could never sell the armor though, since i don't own the IP for it.

I actually thought the first image was digital art before scrolling down... Methinks that says something about the quality.   (Either that or it says something about me--whichever explanation you prefer. )

It really does look awesome - it must feel good too for the long hours you put into it to be well appreciated, everywhere.  Your wife even dyed her hair for that?  Wow, that is dedication...

On a side note, unfortunately my wife has little interest in anything Warhammer - and is also a Twilight fan.   
She also reads the Sookie Stackhouse series, and likes True Blood.  I don't read the books but I do like True Blood so I guess that's ok.

It could be worse, I suppose.

[Assandra Von Asura]

GAH!!! ABSOLUTLY STUNNING!
*jelous*
^_^ That is awesome! Great work.
BTw Kommisar, what materials and where do you get your materials from? If you dont mind me asking

[Aureus]

Whoa, I was not expecting that, holy crap that's awesome!

I would like to point out that while you can't sell "Battle Sister Armor" as a product, you can sell custom costume services, and if that happens to be a customer who saw the armor and wants something like it, then that's cool too (I know this because my costumer/armorer uses a similar side-step to avoid IP infringement when making things like my Khardic Cyber-arm, with all sorts of Iron Kingdoms IP on it).

[waqpdancer]

Wow!!

Eh No

WOW!!! is a decent comment.

GREAT !!!

For curiosity what is your lady holding in her left hand and carrying on her back!

[cyclocius]

I am insanley jealous :O
A brilliant costume, are there any photos of yours as well?
