last year when i was a na'vi from avatar for dragon*con, i did a step-by-step photo album on facebook as i made different parts of the costume. it was kind of fun, so even though my costume this year isn't going to be quite as elaborate, i thought i'd do it again. i just posted the first batch of pictures on facebook, so i thought i'd share them here on lj as well in case anyone is interested. :)
this year, i'm going as ronon dex from stargate atlantis. he looks like this:

ronon is an alien from the planet sateda in the pegasus galaxy. and he is super hot. (i'm trying not to examine the fact that i think he's one of the most attractive men alive and now i want to BE him...) i'm not going to try to costume this exact outfit for d*c, but more of an approximation of the kind of clothes he wears throughout the SGA series. so far, all i've completed is his sword and a couple of necklaces, but i'm super proud of the sword!
( cut for how i made the sword. picture heavy! )
