Here's a guy that had a different mask. The masks are coooool, and I'm sure SonofV and I will return to this design to make some of our own.

Klaus was something of a ladykiller. One gal actually wanted our picture to be an action shot where I was punching her. Weirdos.

Some people pick a character to dress up as because they already have the hair, I guess.

This year SonofV provided the suggestion for the subject of my cosplay efforts: Sir Crocodile of One Piece. "Please be aware, before progressing any further, that this site contains heavy SPOILERS"

SonofV chose to be a Spider Splicer. This isn't a screengrab, but it's a good sample of what he was shooting for.

There's some variation among the details of the source images for each character. I chose a white fur collar and my shoes didn't have buckles, nor did I wear the costume jewelry rings I bought.

SonofV's mask didn't have bunny ears or a bird's beak, but plenty of blood. Really, a lot of blood.

An early pre-release version of my hook. First year each character featured hooks--coincidence.

My choice this year was very popular (Thanks son!). It also helped that the anime has been running for several years and has many friends. (Cosplay) friends of mine I was just meeting.

Some of the people inside were just cool cosplayers. Lots of people like having their picture taken with Master Chief, just like SonofV from 2010.

Some of them just wanted *my* picture, I stole this from they guy's facebook feed after SonofV alerted me to having been tagged in an adjacent picture by one of his friends. I feel so famous.

Now there were a lot of people also cosplaying characters from One Piece. I was greeted by many of them as they knew me far more often than I recognized them.

Eventually I was invited to a group picture with the many One Piece cosplayers. I was very flattered. "One of us!". This young lady was playing Luffy, the central character of the whole show. She guided me to this mob.

Really, there were a *lot* of One Piece-ers. I had a wonderful time. By the way, I'm in this picture taken by SonofV who had climbed to the top of the fountain to take this picture.

Not sure who the cutie in yellow is...
That's Silk Spectre, also from Watchmen.
