While I work on this week’s comic feel free to enjoy this Halloween costume I’ve been working on with my ridiculously talented friend Tina for the past couple weeks.
(and yes I did shave my head for real)
She makes a living on cosplay commission type stuff, so if you’re looking for some crazy lightweight foam fabricated armour or a Rorschach grappling gun or anything like that, it’s worth checking out her site!
That is an awesome costume! And the face! Haha, perfect face for that guy! I started to look for a “like” button out of habit. :)
fuuucking awesome.
Kratosa?
(but honestly I was never sure whether you are dude or girl. now everthing is clear I guess)
Yeah I was wondering that myself. It’s obvious Awkward Zombie’s Katie is female but I just always assumed you were a dude. Can someone tell me where all these awesome girls live? The comic from January 17th, 2011 is a bit funnier now.
The more I see of your costume, the more I want you to take a thousand photos doing everyday things while scowling that hard.
Scowling Kratos eating a sandwich!
Scowling Kratos fetching the mail!
Scowling Kratos brushing teeth!
Scowling Kratos watching TV!
Scowling Kratos pumping gas!
Seconded. Should be done in full costume.
Agreed… although it would make a good comic as well
That would be an awesome comic. Just put a bit of commander witty and BAM *gold*
“You playin gay chicken with the world now or sumthin?”
Kratos always takes all the glory. Seems like nobody remembers poor Spartan anymore. He took down Ares too.
Shaving your hair for Halloween? Now that’s impressive dedication to the costume.
I came in to say this. Damn.
She even got the Kratos scowl down.
Wow. I agreed with everyone above, shaving your hair just for a costume? That’s badass.
And your face, dear God that scowl is perfect xD
Should just make this this week’s comic. All problems solved.

Your costume is legit as fuck.
Oh my GOD, is it possibly for you to show us closer pictures of those bracers and belt pieces? Or have them uploaded to your friend’s site? The Discworld and Turian work blew my goddamn brains away. Awesome work!
Also this is like a glorious 3D rendition of Scowly Men, ‘cept we’re missing a few guys. And the head shaving is amazing commitment, you’re the man, ma’am.
If that is truly not a bald cap I am quite impressed by your dome. Mine has a circumference of 25 inches. Your honorary mensa membership is in the mail.
I’d almost pay for your friend to give you the Kratos jawline with some foam and spirint gum! You have the scowl down pat.
Well, I’m intimidated.
Considering my fear of electrical razors, I’m unsure if I’m horrified that you would shave your head (no matter how awesome the consequences), or ridiculously impressed.
But either way, you may or may not have inspired me to somehow conquer that fear of electrical razors. And perhaps my fear of craneflies.
Wow. That is some serious dedication there.
I…is that a spinning wheel?
(Follow you on Tumblr) So THAT’S why you were talking about shaving your head! Looks awesome. =)
That scowl is ridiculously perfect. It’d also be awesome for Judge Dredd, that’d be a kickass costume for next year.
I think you underestimate how fast hair grows back…. I’ve shaved mine several times this year and it’s almost down to my neck at the ears…
Any haircut that requires shaving requires a LOT of shaving to keep up.
(And by the way why is everyone so impressed/shocked by women who shave their heads? I got a lot of similiar comments when I shaved mine…)
From my three year old daughter: “A MAN PRINCESS!!!”
… I dunno. You sure you can’t frown even harder?
Ok I am in love with that costume <3
Not sure if Male Kratos or Female Kratos
OMG! seeing this picture just reminded me of someone, and could be the reason why I like you so much. When I was in 9th grade, i was just a skinny tiny little shy thing (almost like Jared, maybe skinnier), and this senior took a liking to me, and she was a lot like you! Her kind-hearted nature with a kinda rough demeanor. But one day she just disappeared, I never got to say goodbye =*(
I am so unlucky that you’re not single, Coela. Gaaaawd.
I feel the same way.
Whoever he is though, is one lucky motherfucker. Props to him.
Kinda hot.
Mad respect, Coela.
Awesome costume, but I was distracted like Layogenic. Being the fiber geek that I am, I noticed the spinning wheel right after looking at you.
Wonderful comic as always. Took me a while before I could look at the sparkling vampire lineup without bursting into fits of laughter.
Then I scrolled down, and saw Krastos scowling at me… My gods, the makeup, the gear your friend made…
… The expression… The I’m going to punch you through your monitor expression…
Definitely looking through your friend’s site, kudos to them, that’s amazing.
I LOVE the costume! You got the attitude perfectly!
My only worry is if you’ve got enough hats for winter. Clearly you need more fiber (I’m an enabler!)
Now that’s some dedication, maam! I salute you!
That’s an awesome costume. Serious props on going full into it and shaving your head.
Hey, Bilious, neat! And she’s a girl too? All this time I assumed that artist was a guy — probably because when I first encountered her on Gaiaonline, her avatar was a guy. Probably also because I cared more about the art than the artist.
Probably because everyone always assumes that a comic artist is a guy… Even when she’s made repeated allusions to the fact that she’s a she. And outright stated it. A lot. As have people commenting.
And besides, when you say ‘person’ everyone just automatically defaults to ‘straight white male’.
No, not really. I’m pretty sure it’s the reasons I stated. Other people may have other reasons, but these are mine.
As I said, I haven’t spent much time looking into the details of Bilious, nor her words or commentary. Just looked at her art, and saw her avatar on Gaiaonline. While her art was interesting and entertaining, I didn’t feel any urge to investigate until now. No need to preach to me. I’m well aware there are women artists throughout Earth’s history.
My experience with Bilious until now was just brief moments of “Hey, that art looks nice. What else is there I can look at on the vast plane of the internet.”
A little mood music to go with that scowl…
…From GoW 3
Dude, Kratos was totally my makeup class final. The website link is the picture.
Awesome costume. It reminds me of something that started to bother me abotu the comics recently – during Kratos and Leonidas Gay Chicken contest…how did they go to the bathroom?
That’s a high quality Kratos scowl.
Not scowling hard enough. j/k it’s great.
You have a freaking awesome house…
Well if it means anything; you look way more intimmidating than the actual Kratos :D
I was thinking that same thing. Way more bad ass than Karatos. And shows us your blades. X)
I just teared up from laughing at that perfect scowl on that perfectly shaved head. “STOP USING ME AS AN EXAMPLE!” “Stop BEING an example.” *SCOWLING FACE*
Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta, Jack (from the Mass Effect series- who should have been an option for same sex romance btw), Charlize Theron in the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road, Even Demi Moore in G.I. Jane… yep, bald chicks are hot. ;-9
Shaved your head for a Halloween costume? Now that’s dedication.
I think an appearance by Dio Brando from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and/or Kenshiro from Fist Of The North Star in this comic would be cool.
How on earth did those get through his ribs in the first place? I guess divine weapon > adamantium?
Ah damn it. It posted my comment to the halloween thing.
Can we see your hair as it looks now? I keep thinking you’re still bald and it’s totally radical.
It’s like an inch long. Almost like Caesar hair.
Shine on you crazy diamond
That’s awesome, I always imagined a female Kratos with a very long mohawk that reaches her back.
You mean like Venus Bluegenes?
Not sure if it’s detectible, but that is a link
Manly girls doing manly things…?
So angry! It’s perfect.
That looks fantabulisticly AWESOME!!!
Unless the binding is just for the photo, it would look betterer, imo, if you extended the marking/tattoo (is that a tattoo or markings? never have been sure about that) over the binding
