Dezziedc beat me to it... this is an awesome cosplay idea!

What an awesome idea!!!! I am planning on doing either the Tree of Life or a Tauran Druid at some point.

Also (because I notice you are a fellow fan of Zim) you may like this that I made my 7 year old last year - http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=233269

Ham out.

Awesome! And that looks totally adorable!

I eventually will make the Devout Shoulders. Something I can wear on the last day of the convention.

SHOULDER UPDATE - Finished the base for the other side. I'm going to use ping pongs for the circular details on the shoulders and then start on the underside of them.

 

[Rebel666]

Ping pong balls attached. Easiest way to make the little domes on the shoulders. Now onto the gloves and bracers.

 

[Rebel666]

The gloves.

They started as Rugged Wear Ladies Ski Gloves in bright pink. Since pink isn't Leeroy's color, I used leather paint to get them to the color I need. It worked like a charm! It won't rub off or wash away either. Thank you background in leather work! I then attached the glove to the bracer to make it easier to get on. Not only that but the details on the glove would not fit through the bracer opening without damaging it. Then I painted the finger details with the base color and attached them. Overall I'm really happy with how the hands look!

 

[Rebel666]

All of the armor pieces so far including my <AFK> Leeroy Jenkins PALS FOR LIFE sign that my buddy in New Orleans made for me.

Up next: a test fitting.

Hahaha amazing to see this come to life!

 

[JPH]

Whoa! The odds of this being successful were 33.3 repeating.

 

[Rebel666]

Had to delay working on Leeroy to work on my Etsy orders but now I'm back in full swing. Which is good because C2E2 is only 6 days away!

Completed the lower leg for Leeroy. Now onto the upper leg and then the belt.

 

[jarroth]

[Rebel666]

PIC SPAM!

I really hope you're doing this on Saturday for C2E2. Only day that I will be attending. Definitely will have to look for you if you are!

Yup! I'm wearing this Friday and Saturday. The boyfriend is wearing a Tier 6 Warrior the same time. You shouldn't be able to miss us. XD

Could you add some form of sound function that when you activate it goes "LEEEERROYYYY JEEEEENNNNKKIIINSSSS!!!!!"?

I'm actually going to be doing the battlecry myself. I've been practicing and I think I've got it down. However, a backup would be good since I think I'm going to blow out my voice by the end of the convention. XD

At least I've got chicken!

Thank you, Corey and Stumbles, for sacrificing your chicken squeaky toy for the greater cosplay good. (Actually they both hate these kinds of toys so it wasn't too bad.)
