Rand Al'Thor Costume

Rand Al'Thor Halloween Costume

Despite Robert Jordan having trouble finishing his series in a reasonable amount of time, I decided to dress up as his main protagonist anyway. The costume consists of items from a variety of sources, some of which I have owned for a few years, but most of which I purchased just prior to Halloween. Black Coat - From Hot Topic, this is the Neo coat pinned up so it only hangs down to my knees. Black Leather Belt - Again from Hot Topic, I needed a leather belt that I could unsnap and remove the buckle, so that I could use... Bronze Dragon Belt Buckle - From the wondrous treasures of eBay, I found this excellent buckle. Suede Pants - Simple pants from my Ren Faire Costume Minnetonka Boots - Any good boot place sells these for $60 or so. Heron Mark Blade - From Museum Replicas Limited, I already owned the officially licensed sword. It is a nice piece to hang on your wall when you aren't wearing it. Seanchan Spear - I bought a cheap short-spear, sawed off the end of it, and attached a green and white graduation style tassel to it. Dark Red Hair Dye Dragon Tattoos

	Some basic poses with my sword drawn. Unfortunately many of these photos outside are washed out, as I was standing in direct sunlight.

	Some pictures standing with the Seanchan spear.

	Posing with my arms up in front of the wonderfully fantastical architecture of my college dorm. Unfortunately I had class on Halloween and couldn't get off campus to get better locales for my photos.

	The best shots of my tattoos were taken by some friends during a Halloween party. The lighting isn't grand, but it came out better than the outdoor shots, so I will stop complaining.

	Here is the close-up of just the tattoos.

	I will be posting some images of some of the accessories soon, including the Seanchan spear and a close-up of the dragon buckle
