🌹Anita Blake Cosplay--Progression Shots, Finished Look & Little Chit Chat | Hannabal Marie🌹

Image Source: Major Spoilers 

Hello ladies and gents

As I have promised, I am bringing you the last post to end Grape City Con. 

The making of and progression of Anita Blake. 

As well as anything and everything else I forgot to mention from the previous post I already have done which included (but not limited to) the actual convention. 

Read about our time at Grape City Con

As I already stated, this was a spur of the moment sort of deal.

Consisting of what we, me and Ghost Lee, had already on hand. It took about 2 days to finish this look. Alongside many pots of coffee and music blaring so loud in my earphones that I had to stop a few times to jam out to an air guitar. lol

Anita Blake is one of those characters that I have had on a bucket-list for such a long time. 

Scared to just "do it" due to fear of messing her up and not doing her justice.

It's been years, lemme just tell ya...YEARS since I've wanted to cosplay this girl but I decided this time was good enough for me. 

A quick sketch of the costume and all the minor details. lol

I also thought this would be great seeing how Marvel bought the rights to her and are creating comic books about the very novels I have fallen in love with. So, I spent a few days rereading the comics and getting into character. I really wanted to mastered her attitude but it wasn't that hard, considering that Anita and myself have very similar attitudes and personalities. 

She is a badass who doesn't need no man--yet, she somehow still gets them crawling to her. (no pun intended. lol) She also loves coffee, penguins and having the type of humor I love in female characters--very sassy and dark. 

All of this was just more of a reason to do this character. 

Also, I thrifted a very beautiful long sleeve shirt that reminded me of her. 

So, it was written in the stars for me to cosplay her. hahaa

Hello ladies and gents

It was that time of year again--Grape City Con 2019.

In truth, we didn't really expect to go this year.
Getting the tickets was a last minute thing but spontaneous moments were made from this. 

The wristband we wore. I am going to make a scrapbook with all of my paper elements. I have this one and the few from other conventions. As well as Zombie Walk newspaper clippings with me and my brother on the article. Making memories and all of that. 

I have been reading some of my Anita Blake novels again, falling back in love with this badass animator and vampire hunter. I also found out that Marvel is making (has been making) comics about this woman...so, I thought I'd do my take as Anita Blake. 

Everything was done in 2 days or less. Outfit planned the day before and the gun I hand-painted all in one night. I will post a progression before/after about my creating the gun and stuff as soon as I get this one done here. But for now, this is about the con and all the little things that took place.

Grape City Con 2018 // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

March 31st was the annual Grape City Con

and as such, we attended with bells and whistles on. lol

We only had a weeks notice and tossed something together with what we had laying around.

So, since me and my brother both finished Spiral, The manga from Junji Ito--

we thought we'd both go as characters from it. 

I have already posted my makeup look in full detail on this blog, 

so if you haven't seen that post...you can click HERE to check it out in better detail.

Stuff I have wanted for a very long time....
So, here. we. go~ 

Cicero, The Fool Of Hearts by Hannabal Marie!

 

READER!  

Hello, Hello...Please come in, sweet reader, Come right in.
It's so nice of you to drop by and pop a peek at my post. It's been so silent without a friendly face around, the silence was almost....maddening. *laughs* but that was then, this is now...mother told me not to worry, she did, and she was right. Not that she ever talks to poor Cicero...no...no...She can't talk..she's quite dead! *laughs* It's just that I could sense her presence around me, letting sweet me know that everything will be fine. Cicero always worries himself to death, you see, it's quite a problem with strangers. I tend to assert myself a bit too much and it makes dealing with people so hhhard. At one moment I'm giving someone a friendly hug and then POP...there goes their head...I think I need to work on loosening up the grip a bit. Maaaaybe.

Anyways, allow Cicero to tell you what exactly is going on here. I'm looking for a listener...wait...no...NO...wrong line, sorry. SORRY...I am here to discuss ME!
Yes, of course, me. Who else would this be but me? Interesting that you ask, really. I could talk about me all day if I had too, but the fool of hearts is busy as it is...Thank. You. Very. Much.
As I was saying: I was alone, tending mother as usual, when an idea came to mind. Why haven't I posted my picture? After all I'm a stickler for photographs....get it? STICK HER....AHAHAHHAAAAHAHHAAAA.....Ah, I just slay me.....

Why does poor Cicero need to post his photos? Well...Why shouldn't I? It just doesn't seem fair to keep in the shadows when that dreadful SHEEP DOG owned two twitter accounts and the undead child, a facebook page. The least of the burden could be a few, harmless photographs of sweeeeet ciiiiicero!
So I will stop talking and let you gawk, at the FOOL OF HEARTS!

(HAHA! Anywho, I attempted this look before and like I mentioned...I didn't like it. Not one bit because I didn't feel I captured him as the sadistic arsehole he is....but I am happy to say I am pleased now! Yes...This is in FACT a character Transformation!)

 

the products I used was:

>ELF eyeshadows in Brown/Black/White/Yellow/Red/Grey

>Liquid Black Eyeliner from Wet N Wild

>Red Lipstick by Jordana

>black and brown pencil liners

>Clown White for highlights (just a tad)

Extras:

Hazel contacts

Hat (by me)

Black Gloves (by me)

Copper Wig

 "Maddness is merry, Merriments might...when the jester comes calling with his knife in the night!"

 

 "Need to oil Mother soon. Get all the hard-to-reach places."

 

"...when I next meet that fair maid Nelly, I'll plunge my knife into her belly..."

"Is there singing in the Void? Dancing? Surely the Dread Lord will at least allow poor Cicero to caper..."

That is all...That jazz!

Iron Woman by Hannabal Marie

  Hello ladies and gents

I love comic books, ever since I was a child..I looked up to comics. It gave me a reason to believe that some good was out there in this horrible world. I remember a time in my life where me and my little brother were wanting to form our own elite superhero group of friends. 

It's been such a very long time and even though I grew up..Comics hasn't stopped being one of my 'go-to' things to cheer me up. 

Mind you, I might look like one who'd be all for villains (and I am, oh how I am) but I can't help but adore some of the superheroes as well. 

Sadly, not many catch my eye but a few I love are Batman, Spiderman, and of course...Iron Man! 

So without wasting more text on useless info...let us get to the main reason you came...to see some pix!

 I have been told that this look could also pass as "iron man's sister-iron pest" so I guess this is like killing two birds with one stone. Right? haha!

 

Products are as follows:

>Brown/Yellow/Black/White/Red/Blue Eyeshadow from ELF

>Red Halloween Cake Paint

>Clown White from Mehron

>Black Liquid Eyeliner from Wet N Wild

Extras:

Contacts

Red Hood
