I finally have a minute to breathe, so I’m going to take that opportunity to post up some of these completely amazing things that people have been sending me.
Recently I was informed by figmentPez on twitter that he’s added Commander, Jonesey, and Jared to his Cosplay Bounty contest, a competition he’s holding over at the Halforums for a chance to win a copy of Portal 2 with the deadline set one week before the game comes out.
AND WHAT LUCK! because I was very recently set these photos by DyleOfFire and Atticus Tremere over at tha tweeters of their excursion to Nakacon;
And I gotta say that’s pretty danged awesome.
I can’t save pictures off of flickr, so I’ll just Drop this link to Taekwondogirl’s rendition of Jonesey from a few months back. And I know someone went as Commander for Halloween and sent me photos over twitter, but I can’t seem to find them.I f you are he and know where they’re at drop me a link!
And while I’m posting awesome stuff from awesome people, here’s some stuff I’ve found in some trawls of DA;
Verbasan’s Commander
FrEak-Z Mr. Fish
SinisterCourtesy’s Mr. Fish
DemonDog888’s Commander
MaclimesZero’s Commander sprite and an animated version!
TheMiika’s Commander consoling Captain Hammer
Ikasama’s Commander sprite
And I’ll leave you off with this lovely Jonesey that Amberguesa emailed to me!
Thanks so much guys! If you have any other art or photos or anything like that, don’t hestate to send them along! They really make my day!
Wait. There was a Commander and a Jared walking around Naka-kon and I missed them?!? I seriously need to leave the operations room more…
So… Awesome….
I was there too and never saw them. I would have flipped.
Yeah we were there all 3 days of Kon. You might’ve seen us at the Rave friday or saturday night.
The guy playing Jared is riding Mr. Fish pre-evolution… and is looking a lot happier then usual.
I don’t think that’s a “riding stick” so much as it is a “beating stick”. I just assumed he was mid-swing and the tail end found itself in an uncomfortable place.
That would make a lot more sense actually.
Cool stuff!
Flickr saving tip: Actions > View all sizes, then download from there.
That doesn’t work if someone, like say me, has disabled downloading of pictures. One could always take a screenshot and then crop from there, I suppose… Eh.
Coela, if you want I can send you the picture. I didn’t even think about that! I suppose this is why the views suddenly jumped up another 1000…
It’s still easy to circumvent. Go to view all sizes(the source of that page is shorter and quite orderly), pick the biggest, open the source code, search the source for jpg till you find the one in the div. Copy paste the link and you can load it.
Sigh.
the guy playing the commander has a really serial killer look about him – the neutral expression mixed with the cold, eyes slightly wider than usual stare….
I saw these guys at Naka and totally fangasmed all over them while taking their photos. So. Epic. The Mr.Fish paddle is a stroke of genius.
Hey! Mind your language!
*puts dollar in the jar* Sorry :c
Oh wow, Cosplay Jared is REALLY in characer. +10!
So’s young Cosplay Commander, actually.. he’s got that steadiness.
… The guy dressed up as the Commander is super hot. o_o;
;)
Ok the pictures of the cosplayers totally made my day. SO PERFECT.
Is that someone cosplaying Isaiah Mustafah?
Also, perfect Jared expression is Perfect.
I had already seen the pic of Jared and Commander, but I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the next pic. Is dat sum Old Spice Guy/The Man Your Man Could Smell Like?
Wow. It really DID went viral!
I saw this on the school’s computer when I was supposed to working on my assignment and I SHOUTED with glee!!
just realize now Commander Badass could be mix up with Jack from Madworld who is now in color.
He could get mixed up with a lot of action heroes.
Thank you for mentioning my art work or Mr. fish! ^^ I love your comic :D
I cannot picture a better real life version of Jared, awesome. Commander is pretty badass.
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe they actually sent these to you. xD Then again, actually, I can.
Watching “Jared”s progress on the paddle was just amazing. I wasn’t around “Commander BA” while he was constructing his costume though, so I couldn’t track its progress.
They both turned out really nicely, but I guess you don’t need me to say that. Haha~
YES YES YES!
I feel so awesome knowing that this was posted on here :DDDDD
These two dudes are my real-life BFF’s, so I flipped SHIT when I heard what their costume ideas were.
Geniuses in every aspect. Dyle and Atticus also play the parts well, because believe it (or not, I DARE you), that’s how they act in real life.
Such characters. :D
Thanks everyone! And thanks DeviLaHi, Atticus_Tremere, and Carloquan. Warriors of Light for LIFE!! :)
OH! They’re awesome!! Also, I’ve got the Jonesy Picture for ya!
Oh wow, that’s definitely one of the better cosplay sets I’ve seen in a while.
Mostly because of Jared’s expression. It’s such a spot on “I’m the king of everything!” Combined with the fact that the Commander’s jacket is basically the perfect amount of being kind of too tight and it’s basically a completely fantastic portrayal. Nice job, you two. :)
That is one sexy Commander.
Do you got a flickr page Coel? I would love to see your pictures.
Everyone on here is awesome. Thank you for the praise of our costumes. It really means a lot.
Is your name a reflection of your combined love of American literature and White Wolf pnp systems? Because that’s absolutely awesome.
Whoa, wait. Is this cosplay-Jonsey flirting with cosplay-Commander? D:
…mebbe…
after seeing other people’s art, ive realised that the Commander really really really reminds me of Brock Sampson from the Venture Brothers. well, i suppose Brock in the later seasons, after he’s calmed down a lil.
I only just noticed… the blade of the cleaver in that fanart is facing the wrong way. Still, drawing hands is HARD, so yeah, not a big deal.
~D.
She’s just shrugging to a comment she is making while at work.
Example: Doesn’t the smell of dead fish bother you?
“Yeah it did *shrug* the first week a little bit, but you get over it”
I don’t know about the rest of you…But I TOTTALY think that there needs to be an avatar of panel 3.
I know I want to sport Lady Gaga Mr.Fish ahaha
I’m pretty sure a few weeks back I saw a Lego creation of The Commander entered into an online Building contest. I also recall that it made it to the final stage… I think..
