S.E. Nordwall's Photo Gallery from Otakon and the East Coast, July-August 2004, Page 2
A picture of the fountain area from the floor above.
Another picture of the herd of humanity at Otakon.
The evening of the first day of Otakon, just after Robert and I went to see the
Anime Music Video contest, my Halo Maker broke. I also had my halo taken out, as it was late,
and we were going to go home soon. Then, I found another Rakka. I wanted to pose with her, so I improvised a halo.
Pathetic, huh?
Rakka, by herself.
Jing, from the anime and manga "Jing: King of Bandits." I haven't seen the anime, myself, but I've read
the first volume of the manga, and I really liked it. Check out his little companion, Kir, right on his shoulder!
Jing, again.
Me as Drunk!Vash. There were a lot of Drunk!Vashes at this year's Otakon.
Second day.
Speaking of Vash... This is a guy I photoed on the first day. If you are into anime cosplay,
you might have seen him on some cospaly sites. It's Duct Tape Dark Vash! He made his entire coat out of
duct tape! Yes, the gun he's pointing at me is an old Nintendo system gun.
Oh, yeah! These pictures are all messed up. Here are some pictures of the Delaware River! This was ON THE WAY to Otakon.
Rivers just don't come like this where I live. It's a truth that, in Arizona,
one becomes accustomed to "rivers" with NO WATER! The Delaware is huge.
The eyebrow-guy whose name I forget from "FLCL"!!!!!!!
An AWESOME Beldandy from "Oh, My Goddess!" She had working retractable wings...
very impressive costume! She attracted a lot of attention.
Walter from Hellsing, pointing at me.
Argh! Another picture from the first day mixed in with these second-day pictures!
I seem to notice these things as I'm setting up pages randomly. Anyway, Meryl, Milly, and another Milly - from "Trigun."
Luigi and WaLuigi, from the Super Mario games!
And here's Mario!
Jet from "Cowboy Bebop."
Another Jet, and Vicious, from "Cowboy Bebop."
An unusually large-winged Reki I photographed in the Dealer's Room.
An awesome Hellsing cosplay group!
The Hellsing group in another pose.
Speaking of Hellsing, here are Alucard and Anderson about to *attempt to* destroy each other. Fun!
Another first day picture! Augh! Victoria Seras of "Hellsing," ready to fire the Harkonnen.
Seras, standing with the Harkonnen.
Sam and Valerie (Silver Vaporeon) as Walter from "Hellsing" and Edward Elric of
"Fullmetal Alchemist" respectively.
Speaking of "Fullmetal Alchemist," the first few episodes were supposed to be screened at the con and I went to the screening,
because I've really been wanting to see it. The screening was CANCELLED! I was so dissapointed! And mad! Funimation are a bunch of jerks!
Silver Vapreon hugging an Alphonse (from "Fullmetal Alchemist") statue at the Funimation dealer's room booth.
Ah! Prepare for Trouble! It's Team Rocket from "Pokemon"!!!!!! They recited the motto for me! They were cool. They also told me "Love and Peace" because
I was in my Vash costume at the time.
Yay! Another Drunk!Vash! This one looks really, really drunk. I don't know if this is from the second day or the third day.
Two Drunk!Vashes have found each other! One of the Drunk!Vashes is me! Look at us! We're a disgrace! Lock up the liquor cabinet!
Yet another Vash - one showing the scars he's earned in his battle for Love and Peace! This guy was so cool.
Aw! I surprised poor Vash brushing his teeth in the morning! He looks so embarrassed! I asked Scar Vash how he did his costume.
He said he got his stuff from a Halloween supply shop and planned this a year in advance! Hooray for scar-putty!
