#ConanCon Returns

Last year, we had the really cool (and hot...that theater had zero A/C) experience to see a live taping of Conan O'Brien for Comic-Con. We laughed, we applauded, we got free Funkos!! And this year, Conan is back at Spreckles Theatre from July 20-July 24 for #ConanCon

My original Batman Conan Funko Pop from 2015. It was missing it's SDCC Sticker!

Arsenal Cosplay: Quiver and Shoes

In my last post I talked about my shoes for Arsenal. They're not exact, and therefore need to be modified. And no archer is complete without a quiver.

Arsenal Cosplay: Shopping

As a (kinda) beginner cosplayer, I spend a lot of time thinking of foundations and how to alter them to fit my needs. This time around is no different. I'm not a good enough sewer to make my own fitted jacket and pants, and I definitely cannot make my own shoes, so shopping for the closest thing is what we'll have to do!

Arsenal Cosplay: Research



The first step to any cosplay is research. Arsenal/Roy Harper has been on "Arrow" from Season 1-3. Luckily, Roy doesn't seem to change up his uniform from season to season (unlike Oliver) so there wasn't any confusion as to whether a reference photo was from Season 1 or Season 3.

I've compiled many reference photos for you here. These were especially helpful for getting the details of the cosplay just right, like how many knives he had, which side each holster was on, etc.



*Please note that I do not own these photos. Unfortunately, I do not have links to the original sources but most are from Pinterest and Google images*
