Portal cosplay

Portal cosplay from this big gallery from PAX.

Relatedly, since I mentioned Narbacular Drop drop yesterday and how disappointed I was with the look of Quantum Conundrum, from a Gabe Newell interview:

GN: Well, the thing there -- and I've talked about this before -- that was really scary to me, was that something had happened with this group, that would've been kind of sad if these people all went their separate ways.

Because a lot of times you can look at something and say, "Oh, it's successful because of this person."

EJ: Carmack.

GN: Yeah. Carmack is so clearly the heart and brain of everything that id does. But with the guys who worked on Narbacular Drop, it was like the magic was in the team, and if the team had split up... That was my read. That there were a bunch of games that wouldn't get made if these guys went their separate directions. So I was like, "That'd be a real shame, so we need to keep them together and see what they can do."

Ame-Comi Mera cosplay

Ame-Comi Mera cosplay modeled by artist Ashley Hay (the figure is on sale here), and Ashley created a cute Mera Munny that's on sale here.

The costume was made by Helen Aure, whose own gallery is full of cosplay that's a little too racy to post, such as this Red Sonja.

And photography is by Britt Dietz, whose various projects include recreating George Petty's classic pinups:

1. Julia Vickerman:

Hey weirdos, do you live in the LA area, know how to sort of use Flash/AfterEffects, dig animation and want to work for no money on Yo Gabba Gabba this season?

I want to bring on someone who loves the show, not just some random joker who needs college credit. Oh yeah, you would need to be enrolled in school and receiving credit for this.

Hit me up and send me some work samples - julia@punyentertainment.com.
