Gen aka Penwiper from Prydon Academy/dwcosplay and I have a long chat about the old school cosplay vs new school, Lord of the Rings characters, making a car door as a Captain America prop, Dragon Con, TimeGate and a gamut of her “Bucket List” Doctor Who cosplay including The Happiness Patrol, The Weeping Angel, Movellan, Eldrad, Romana I, Liz Shaw, and a femme 4th Doctor. Check it Out! You can see her posts as Penwiper or penwiper337 on www.therpf.com, www.prydonacademy.com, or www.dwcosplay.com.

Just the work put into the costumes and the creativity people use is incredible, and Gen used a lot of creativity when making the Movellan gun and finding ways to pass the time while waiting in line at Dragon Con! These Movellan costumes I’ve seen are just too awesome! Maybe I should do one, too and use some of the tips and ideas!
