The Hobbit Cosplay/Art References

Dear Fellow Cosplayers of the Tolkien persuasion,

Wellington is currently doing this “Costume Trail” thing which is fantastic. What they’ve done is taken the costumes of the main characters from The Hobbit movies and placed them around Wellington, NZ, for people to look at. There’s usually one at each location but some places like The Roxy and Embassy theatre have three.

So, naturally, I am doing the thing but I’m also doing it with a fairly powerful camera to take hi-res photos of the costumes as references. What I am going to do once I’ve got good photos of all of them: upload the pictures to tumblr, one character costume per post. I’ll upload the ones I’ve seen already but I won’t get photos of all of them until probably Christmas or Boxing Day.

One minor thing to be noted: The costumes are housed in cases with super reflective glass which gives the photographer in me nightmares. I do my best taking the photos [including making my mother hold up table cloths to block the light, lunatics that we are] and with photoshop but alas, I can only do so much. Detail shots are fine because I can easily block the glare but full body shots are dicey.

Characters being displayed:

Thorin

Bilbo

Oin

Gloin

Bifur

Bombur

Bofur

Fili Part 1 & Part 2

Kili

Dwalin

Balin

Nori

Dori

Ori

Gandalf

Legolas

Tauriel

Radagast

Elf Lieutenant

Elf Soldier

Bard

So if anyone would like detail photographs to help build their Hobbit cosplays, watch this space. You can message me for extra photos if needed.

sam, reading bilbo’s book: “well now, i’m sure he had a very nice voice, but that’s hardly a reason to go on an adventure with someone you just met”

sam: turns page to an illustration of thorin, with his dark hair and blue eyes

sam: “understandable, good for you mister bilbo”
