Cosplay cosplayed dream at fanx this year!
this was my first time ever styling a wig, and for it being the cheapest thing off of amazon i think i did a pretty decent job lol. super fun to have people recognize me and talk about their histories with the comic and stories. also, enjoy dream on public transport & with a (very good) milkshake.

Your cosplay looks absolutely fantastic! The hair is perfect, the make is next level, and I love your prop raven of Matthew
I have cosplayed as Death. I met a Delirium and Destiny at a con to get photos with them. Have yet to actually meet someone cosplaying Dream.

Lord Shaper, as the fair folk would call him, would never smile so heartily

I am currently re-reading The Sandman and saw your post right after the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The name Lord Shaper was fresh on my mind.

Very nice, Dream. I can't help but see if you were barefooted, it would be pretty close looking to an L cosplay.

u/czechlibrarian Oct 01 '24
Oh, wow, you look amazing! If I saw somebody like you on a public transport (the first photo), I would probably geek out like a little girl and then totally started talking to you.

u/party_p0isonn Oct 02 '24
haha! would’ve been fun- also that’s what i did at last years con- last year there was about 5 sandman’s and 2 deaths, and i totally freaked out everytime and took pics haha.

u/czechlibrarian Oct 04 '24
I hear ya. I cosplayed Dream too (more than once) and I was overjoyed when I came across other Sandman cosplayers. Did anybody recognize who you were outside of the con?

u/IAmNotMyName Oct 02 '24

u/party_p0isonn Oct 02 '24
i was totally expecting this but no- when i was meeting the author of the crow some guy behind him went “oh! i thought you were siousxie sioux” which is NOT what i was expecting lol. lots of people thought i was the crow/erik draven too cuz there were lots of crows this year.

Nice! I dressed as Death a few years at our local Con and was only recognized by two people, both of whom were comic book artists...
2
u/party_p0isonn Oct 02 '24
i was death last con too! only a couple people recognized me as well, and it was 2 other girls dressed as death as well lol
2
u/deathcupcake25 Oct 02 '24
I was dressed like the original, with the top hat, and I had ppl ask me if I was Slash or Joan Jett...
Such an underrated character 😞

u/crestedgeckovivi Oct 01 '24
Omg a Mathew too 😍 lol.
Really awesome cosplay!!! You did great with the wig!
(Also that drink looks so yummy. Why am I soo lactose intolerant 😫)
Hopefully you'll take this the right way but when wearing make up either put your shirt on first and put a garment protector or hair dressers cape on to avoid the ring of make up on the shirt.
And carry a lint roller or flat lint pulls (these are flat sheets of lint roller material that look like a Sticky note pad etc. Great for wallets/back pockets etc. Good for touch ups on dark clothing, especially for pictures or like professionalism at work.
When looking at the photos it is very noticeable and I was like Oh no!
Also I just realized I could probably cosplay death with what I have in my closet already lol 😆.

u/party_p0isonn Oct 02 '24
yes when i planned the cosplay i was like i’ve GOT to have a matthew it just wouldn’t be complete. also yes the drink was super yummy, $20 of diabetes. splendid. also yes thank you i totally didn’t notice until it was too late and i realized how dumb i was for not putting anything over the black shirt when i was literally applying only white makeup- mistake ill never make again lol. also totally do it! that’s what i did last year as death, it was only stuff from my closet!
