BEST RECREATION - COMIC-CON MASQUERADE 2008


Since our last couple of masquerade entries were pretty light on the craftmanship department, we decided we wanted to challenge ourselves for Comic-Con 2008! We all fell in love with Eternal Sonata the moment we started playing it, and thanks to the amazingly fun co-op mode that the game offers the Undergrounders were all able to play the game together in an epic week-long marathon. By the end of said marathon, we all had our characters picked out and were ready to get sewing!

The UGers have become known for our ridiculous dancing and comedic surprises in our performances, but this time we wanted to try something different. Cheesy gags didn't feel appropriate for the Eternal Sonata aesthetic, so we decided to do an "epic walk-on" type presentation instead. We really wanted to showcase the beauty of the costume designs, the incredible music, and the game's touching story. Polka, the game's main character, is dying of a terminal illness, so in our skit she presented a monologue that explained her fate and how she wanted to help others before she passed. Her friends then joined her to rock a battle-style presentation where each of the characters performed their own special attack from the game. MAGMA PILLAR!!

Underground Cosplay was presented with a $200 cash prize from AgentSakur9 Entertainment for being their choice for most outstanding entry, as well as an amazing Xbox 360 Prize Package for the best entry from an Xbox game, as selected by an Xbox representative. The Comic-con Masquerade judges also presented us with the award for Best Re-creation, which was truly an honor since our main focus this year was on costume craftsmanship and portraying the feel of the game and characters in an exciting and touching way. We are truly grateful to all those who recognized our hard work!
