general media DragonCon 2017 In Pictures

[Randimaxis 8,659]

Greetings and salutations, my fellow Ponyites!

For the past LOOOOOOONG number of years, I have attended a local event here in Atlanta, Georgia known as DragonCon.  The convention is a cross-media con, where there are fans of many, MANY different fandoms all coming together for the purpose of enjoying being geeks in a place where we have lots of fun.

Cosplay is a LARGE part of it, and there's always a million-and-one costumes for a number of different fandoms.

This year, I managed to get a number of pictures - and I'm here now to share them with you fine folks!  Granted, there's a LOT of 'em... but I plan to put them up in blocks, so it won't be one ginormous post.

Feel free to comment all you like - feedback is a welcome thing!

And so, without further ado...

wow, these look amazing

[SparklingSquirrels 21,366]

I'm not a big cosplay fan myself but those look pretty crazy . It's incredible how much effort some people put into those.

I'm surprised to see there aren't any dragons xD

Did you cosplay as anything, @Randimaxis? 

[Denim&Venöm 19,656]

Huh. That's a lot of pictures. Lot's of folks doing costumes that, in hindsight, surprised that I haven't seen at other conventions. 

Keep up the good work.
