That is my Walter Kumm Dorne(Hellsing) outfit, or at least the almost complete version of it, that I will be taking to Otacon 2006. Just wanted peoples opinion about what could be changed, or whatever. Thanks!

Well, the crummy background could go... :P

Very nice. Very nice indeed.

Might want to get rid of that five o' clock shadow though... :wink:

Aside from that, the only problem I have is the tie, IIRC it's red, though that might just be the anime. And you're missing his arm garters. :P

Overall very good, though... I presume you're gonna use dental floss on the gloves? Or is that just an effect you put into the photo?

Its an effect, but I actually have a whole fishingline wire system rigged up for the con. In the manga, he switches between red and black and red ties, and I'm working on the arm garters.

Otakon you blithering dolt! :P

Looks good enough, though I highly suggest a monicle.

lol, it's only my second con. And the monocle is there, just gotta look a little closer.

Looking nice! I hope that my BlackMage/Yuna dress turns out that well.

I thought Walter wore a monocle.

He does. As Tokaji said, look closer. :P

And if that bridge across the nose confuses, he probably made it by nicking off one of the lenses from a regular pair of glasses and tightening up the bridge to make a sort of half pince-nez; Walter wears a similar rig.

Bingo. lol The miracle of an old pair of glasses, a wire snip, and a sharpie. The only problem is that I can't see worth crap while I'm wearing it.

Just be careful the sharpie doesn't come off on your face... when I was a kid I blacked up the frame of some sunglasses, and when I took them off I had the nicest temporary tattoo you ever saw... :P
