CorneliusMurdock Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Mort Norris manages a fast food place called Cap'n Curry's Fish Hut but his real passion is going to conventions as Aquaman. Mort doesn't know why he is drawn to be the King of Atlantis, perhaps it is because he has always felt like a fish out of water or because knows subconsciouly that he would be a somewhat useless superhero. Unfortunately he will not have time to change after his shift so he wears his costume under his work apron. That'll be $10.21... Front Side Back It's somewhat minimalist as far as customs go but I did have to use Brasso to remove the print from the torso. That's right a poor Ashoka had to give her life for this creation. Somehow, I don't feel too bad. This is my first non-purist attempt at customizing but I guess I didn't stray from purism too far. Cost: The parts are pretty standard minifig parts. Brasso cost me about $5. I also used 3 sheets of paper to get the apron the way I wanted it and a few drops of printer ink for the logo. The original pics. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Very nicely done Cornelius! This is one entry that truly lives up to the "cosplayer blending in real-life situation". The fig somehow looks rather conservative for a cosplayer (though he sports Aquaman's colors pretty well), but the way you presented him in that well-built vignette more than makes up for it. I wish you well in the competition buddy! Edited October 22, 2010 by KielDaMan Quote

I wish you well in the competition buddy! Yeah, I was very happy with the way the vig turned out. Its a shame I have to dismantle it to work on my entry for the Star Wars contest. And not every cosplayer can afford a detailed costume. I'd like to imagine that Mort bought everything he needed at a Walmart or something. Quote
