This year at Ichiban, I went from Thursday to Saturday.
Thursday I was a member of the Black Parade, and had a lot of fun and got to meet up with some con friends I haven't seen in forever.
Friday I was Link, and while I didn't have my props ready and the costume wasn't 100% done like how I wanted it, I was still happy with it. My only problem Friday was that I was half asleep and ended up taking a nap in the middle of the con. It was still a lot of fun though.
Saturday, I was Rey, and my dad came as Obi Wan Kenobi. We did a photoshoot with Illoria Photography, as well as enter the costume contest as Team Space Dawgs! We entered under the Novice category since it was our first cosplay contest, and a large chunk of my dad's costume was bought (like the shirt, pants, and shoes).
I had made both of our outfits, Rey's being 90% while my dad's was about 50%. Both of our lightsabers were bought off of Etsy, we don't know which store my dad had gotten his from, but mine is from Salt Lake Saber Co. My dad had handmade Rey's staff. The only other thing bought for Rey was her shoes.
While we didn't win anything, it was really cool to do my first contest at a con. I feel a lot more confident signing up for more contests, and hopefully I will have better luck at the next contest.
And that was my Ichibancon for 2018! I didn't take pictures, so there wont be any in this post.
