Alright, the day is finally here. Today will mark the first day where our costumes will be posted. Below you'll find my entries, and tomorrow I will do a collective post with links to everyone's posts and what categories we're all in. But for now, all participants need to get their entries posted in the next couple of days so we can vote on them.

My Stuff
All of these images were taken from my cell phone because I don't have the ability to screen capture on my PS3, so I apologize for the shitty image quality. But for the most part, you can still see what I did.
_____________________________
From Saints Row The Third, this is my costume of Zeke, originally from Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
Below is the source material. The game did not have a perfectly matching hair style or t-shirt design, but I think the rest is fairly spot on.
_____________________________
The rest of my costumes are all from LittleBigPlanet 2. First up, we have Tobias Funke from Arrested Development, showing off his never-nudeness right after he blue himself.
Below is the source material. As you can see it's a rather simple costume; just a blue skin, short shorts and a balding haircut. Because it's LBP, I imagine the zipper on his check is the Sackboy parallel of body hair. I left off the mustache though, because the ones they had just didn't look right.

Next we have a Glowing One from the Fallout franchise.
Below is the source material. The moment I saw that green glowing skin option I knew I had to make this character. Although they traditionally wear shorts instead of pants, I felt that the shorts in LBP make him look too much like the Incredible Hulk. So instead, i took the pants and shoes from the "Dean" costume because it had kind of a 50's vibe to it, and chose the balding haircut again because I thought it looked more ghoulish than plain bald.
_____________________________
And finally, we have Gandalf The Grey from the Lord Of The Rings.
Below is the source material. LBP2 did not have a suitable staff for Gandalf, so I went with the most plain of my available options. I also didn't have a wizard hat available to use, so I used the druid's cowl instead. Given how the hat would have negated my ability to show hair anyways, I think it looks a bit better this way.

I was also going to do a Link costume in Skyrim, but the save I had was accidentally deleted before I could get the picture. So instead, it's just these four from me. Anyone who is participating, please link your post on my wall when it's up so I can put it all together in the post tomorrow. We'll let the voting officially begin on Firday, since I wasn't as on top of reminding people as I should have been and its likely that some people will need another day or two to get it posted.
For now, what do you think of my costumes? Are there any you like, or any you hate in particular?
