For my write up of the convention experience this year, you can go here! This post is exclusively to showcase some of my favorite cosplays from the event (here’s the first half of the pictures). Dallas has an amazing community of cosplayers. Not only are they talented, but they’re friendly, charitable, and helpful. Some of the more skilled veterans hold workshops for those wishing to learn more costume making skills. Many North Texas cosplayers attend various charity events around the metroplex, most of them geared toward helping area children. There was even an award this year (the Trident Award, in memory of cosplayer Jonathan “Aquaman” Vela) that went out to a young cosplayer who founded her own charity called The Super 6 to provide basic comfort necessities for cancer patients in local children’s hospitals. There is a serious community in DFW, and they bring out the talent to the area conventions. Since there were three cosplay events (a red carpet walk on, Saturday’s costume contest, and Sundays kids’ contest), I’ll break this up into two posts. This post features costumes from Saturday and Sunday’s contests!
And that’s a wrap for Dallas Fan Days 2014! North Texas is one of the best places to be, and has some of the best costumes around. Come join us next time!
