Nikolaj Coster-Waldau submits his performance in “The Spoils of War” for Emmy consideration-Can he win?

The Emmy nominations are out, and Game of Thrones has scored 22, more than any other show in contention. Among the most exciting is definitely Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s nom for Best Helping Actor in a Drama. Coster-Waldau offers been knocking it out from the park as Jaime Lannister for years, but has never been nominated for an Emmy. Can he win the race his first time on the track? kuroshitsuji dagger cosplay

Awards site GoldDerby reports that Coster-Waldau submitted his performance in “The Spoils of Battle” for factor. That was a smart move. To me, “Spoils” was very easily the best episode of the season, and Coster-Waldau carries it. The whole back third of the hour can be taken up by Daenerys’ assault on the combined Lannister-Tarly army, and Jaime is certainly our eyes and ears on the ground. We’re swept up in his desperation as he rallies his males, are aghast along with him when Daenerys - who flies into battle atop Drogon - burns his army to a crisp, and on the edge of our seats when he picks up a spear and tries to charge down the Dragon Queen. guardian of the galaxy costumes

In the full arc of Game of Thrones, Daenerys is arguably a more sympathetic character than Jaime, and the show could have taken the easy route and showed the battle from her perspective. By sticking with Jaime, “Spoils” becomes something much knottier and more interesting. It demands a lot of Coster-Waldau and he guidelines up; it’s probably the best showcase for his talents in the history of the show, which explains why he’s only been nominated now after all these years. full metal alchemist costume

And all of that’s great. But can he earn? Here’s what the field looks like:

That’s a few tough competition. Like Coster-Waldau, Matt Smith and Joseph Fiennes are Emmy newcomers, and like Coster-Waldau, they’re nominated for demonstrates have been on the air for at least one season, indicating that Emmy voters were more impressed by their work this year than in the past. Also, their profiles are a little higher than Coster-Waldau’s, and name acknowledgement matters, for better or worse. I could see either of them taking it.

On the other hand, Coster-Waldau got a nomination despite not having as high a profile as those guys, so voters must have really liked what they saw of him in Game of Thrones time of year 7. David Harbour and Mandy Patinkin have both been nominated in this category before, and Patinkin actually won an Emmy for Exceptional Lead Actor in a Drama Series back in 1995 for his work on Chicago Hope. But if they haven’t received Emmys for Stranger Issues and Homeland yet, I doubt the most recent seasons of those shows will put them over the top.

Then there’s Coster-Waldau’s castmate Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister). To this day, Dinklage is the only Game of Thrones cast member to win an Emmy for acting - he’s earned in this category twice before. Dinklage is a wonderful actor, but I feel like Emmy voters are almost in a rut with him; they want to nominate someone from Video game of Thrones and he’s their default go-to guy. Dinklage was no slouch in period 7, but I think Coster-Waldau offered the more memorable overall performance.

I hope Emmy voters feel the same way, because Personally i think Coster-Waldau deserves this award, and it would be a treat to see him earn on his first-time out. Then, if Lena Headey (Cersei) wins this year or next calendar year, all three Lannister siblings will have Emmys and the world will be as it should be.

You can watch the 70th annual Emmy Awards on NBC on September 17.

Video game of Thrones cosplayers in SDCC 2018 predict the ending of the show

HBO might not have attended this year’s NORTH PARK Comic-Con, but that didn’t stop Game of Thrones supporters from dressing as a common characters and turning away in droves. CNET was readily available to interview these fine people, and asked them the question on everyone’s brain: How will Video game of Thrones end? avatar roku cosplay

I enjoyed the way the interviewer talked to the cosplayers like these were in fact cast members. I specifically liked the guy decked out as Jon Snow; he even flapped his cloak like Package Harington did while goofing off behind the moments of season 7:

“The White-colored Walkers are likely to reach the Eyrie, realize it’s impenetrable…” Wait, what? When do Jon Snow move the Northern host to the Vale? Oh, Jon Snow cosplayer, you really know nothing. custom made cosplay costumes

Next, we've Daenerys Targaryen and Sansa Stark, both of whom are dressed to impress. I must say i dig the Sansa cosplayer; she nailed the appearance, and the accent sells it. “I came across my calling in life,” Sansa says. “There are therefore many abused and poor wretched pets out there and I’m likely to take up a shelter, a rescue for all the canines.” Yes, Sansa, for all your dogs.

The Hound, in the meantime, thinks Sandor and Sansa will sit the Iron Throne “ruling each one of these idiots.” He certainly gets the Hound’s attitude down, and his clothing is on point because of the hound’s mind helmet. green arrow and black canary costumes

I’ve also surely got to cheer on Woman Olenna, who includes a deal with the night time King to resurrect her. “Tell Cersei I’m arriving for her.”

And of course the Night King appears fantastic, and he actually brought a baby with him. “Everyone dies.” That’s a favorite one.

Incidentally, we asked cosplayers quite similar question as of this year’s Con of Thrones. Roll the tape:

Are you surprised when Deadpool 2 made a crack about the Martha scene in Batman v Superman

There is natural behavior in people who like to pick a side and champion a sports team, politician, priest or religion, Apple or Samsung, to DC versus Marvel.

Someone who sees himself as a diehard DC fan and who evolved his favoritism toward being antagonistic toward Marvel is prone to take offense and even actively campaign against another publisher . All the custom made cosplay costumes are in high quality. 

I find it strange to actually take up a cause to pick a publisher and its cast of characters and actually campaign against a rival publisher. I think it’s only appropriate for Politics and Professional sports, but not consumer goods or fictional entertainment. It’s silly and I ask the question “why?”

Unless there are financial advantages for rooting for the success of DC at thw expense of Marvel, by all means- go milk your investment. But to armtwist others and brandish intellectual ego to prove why DC or Marvel is empirically better in a category that is 100% Subjective, is downright stupid. 

Unless you are going to buy me the entire DC catalog and evangelize it, I don’t care which publisher you prefer.

People love to pick sides because it’s a chest pounding ego moment. Especially on line and in social forums. I don’t feel gratified convincing others that their tastes in superheroes suck. But I am funny like that. 

I do get in great love with the deadpool 2. So what do you think?

Tutorial Making the SnK (Attack on Titan) swords

So I'm currently making a 3DMG cosplay set to be a cool kid at local conventions. One thing that really bothered me was how hard it is to make the sword handles.

If you don't remember what I'm talking about, here's a pic of the retarded Mikasa sheathing in her left sword:



The swords are extremely specific and look like nothing I've seen before:

-> They have 2 triggers, 1 lever, and 1 button.
-> The triggers are used to extend/retract the hook
-> The lever is used to fire the hook
-> The button operates the blade locking mechanism
-> They are connected to the hook launchers using gas tubes which themselves contain three gas tubes each
-> They look cool

Of course, like everything comprising the 3DMG, the anime version looks a lot different from the manga version. The anime one looks wowmazing so I'll focus on this one.

---------

Materials required

- a 5mm (0.19685 inches for you Americans) thick wood sheet. I used a 40cm * 80cm (15.748 in * 31.4961 in)
- Traditional woodworking tools.
- Glue. Prefer wood glue.
- A bike brake lever, with a stainless steel look
- Stainless-steel-look spray paint & traditional black acrylic paint. The black paint will be applied using a brush.
- Around 100ml of acetone. Be careful when using Acetone.
- Tissues to dip in the acetone.

-------

We'll start with the basics: the sword will be comprised of 3 "layers". Layers are just wood parts glued on top of each other. The layer technique, while a bit hard to apprehend, is definitely the best way. Carving the handle out of wood requires both time, money, and experience. When adding a layer to the bottom, we will add the same layer to the top of the handle. Given that we're adding 2 layers on top of the middle one, we will be adding the same two layers to the bottom, which leads us to a total of 5 layers, which translated to a 2.5 cm thick sword handle.

The middle layer will contain the mechanism to lock the blades inside. This "mechanism" is in fact just a hole shaped like the blade plug, while featuring the triggers and the button. The next layer will cover the middle one, but without the triggers (to give the illusion that there are actual 5mm thick triggers on the handle). The last layer will feature the "top part" which has two safety locks on the top layer as well as a gas tube connector on the bottom one. The same layer will also have a leather-looking thing to handle the swords correctly without them slipping out of their hands.

This leads us to a total of 7 pieces of wood per handle.

Here is a pic of the parts, printed, cut, and laid out on a wood sheet:



And here is a pic I found of the handles. Print it out:





You will have to carve a hole in the middle layer shaped like the blade plug. Here is my version of the blade plug:



Carve it a bit more: the blade has to to be inserted properly, and therefore be a bit loose while locked inside the handle.




The last pic shows the different parts. Please note this was the mark one, do not apply the paint right now. Please. Also, I completely failed at getting the locking mechanism right, and most parts are cut like garbage. Also, I forgot to cut out the triggers on this one.


This one shows a bit more what it is supposed to look like. The orange part is part of the third layer though.

I have to go sorry, part II will be coming soon.

We have a cosplay company. We have been making cosplay costumes for worldwide costumes since 2003.

Cosplay Boots Measurement

When we cosplay, we not only buy Cosplay Costumes, but also need the Cosplay Boots or Cosplay Shoes.

Normally the Cosplay Boots are made of PU Leather. Some are made of fabrics.

When you order  Cosplay Boots/Shoes from others, you need to confirm the size with them. Also you may need to measure some details for them.

For the boots, normally it would need to measure the following size details:

Boots Height(to the place where you want):
Calf Circumference:
Foot Length:

From the above pic, you could see the measurement methods. 

If it is just cosplay shoes, you do not need to measure the boots height and calf circumference. Just provide them the foot length. 

Hope this would help you a lot.

How to measure Outside Leg?

Sometimes some costumes have pants. If so you need to offer them your Pant Length/Outside Leg.

Most people do not know how to measure Outside Leg.

Here is a simple method of measuring the outside leg for use in buying or tailoring pants or jeans.

Stand up or lie down with your legs completely straight.

Take a tape measure and place the top on your waist at the point where you want to wear the top of the pants. Some people want their pants to ride high up on their waist, while some want hip-huggers that ride low.

Run the tape measure down to your ankle or lower at the point where you want the bottom of the pants leg to end. Some people want their pants leg to reach just above their ankles, while some want it to cover the top of their shoes.

If the tailor is professional, they would normally make the pant length depend on your height.

How to measure your Shoulder Width correctly?

When you are asked to provide your Shoulder Width size, it is mostly to provide the back shoulder width(Back Shoulder Bone to Shoulder Bone).

1.

Ask someone for help. Since standard shoulder width measurements are taken along the upper portion of your back, another person will actually need to take this measurement for you.

• If you cannot find anyone to help you take this measurement, use the “Measure Shoulder Width with a Shirt” method, instead. That method can be performed by yourself and usually produces an accurate result.

2.

Wear a shirt that fits well. While not strictly necessary, a tailored dress shirt is ideal since you can use the seams of the shirt to help guide the tape measure.

• If you do not have a tailored dress shirt, any shirt that fits correctly in the shoulder area will work. You do not need to measure the shirt when using this method, but a good shirt can provide helpful guide points.

3.

Stand with your shoulders relaxed. Your back should be straight, but your shoulders need to hang naturally in a relaxed position.

4. 

Locate the shoulder points. These points are actually marked by your acromion bones, which can be found at the upper tips of your shoulders.

These two points should also be the points at which the shoulder meets the arm, or the points at which the shoulder begins curving down into the arm.

If you are wearing a dress shirt that fits your upper body correctly, you can use it as a guide. The shoulder seams on the back of your shirt will usually match up with your actual shoulder points.

If your shirt does not fit perfectly, use your knowledge of how loose or snug the shoulder fit is and adjust your two end points accordingly to make improvements.

5.

Measure the space between your shoulder points. Have your helper position the end of the tape measure flat against your back at the first shoulder point. Your helper should then measure up and over the curve of your shoulders, across your back, then back down to the outside edge of the other shoulder point.

Keep in mind that you should be measuring across the broadest part of your shoulders. This usually lands out roughly 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) below the neckline.

The tape measure will not be horizontally straight during this measurement. It must bend at a gentle curve along with your shoulders.

6. 

Write it down. This measurement is your shoulder width. Mark it down and save it for your records.

Standard shoulder width can be used for both men's and women's attire, but it is most often used for men's tailor-fit dress shirts and blazers.

Shoulder width essentially measures the width of the yoke of your ideal shirt size.

You will also need this measurement when determining the best possible sleeve length for a shirt or blazer.
