I went through Joe’s post and linkified all the characters we used, so you can go through and read more about them and/or their respective universes! Go learn yourself a book.

The process for figuring out what some of the characters would be this Halloween was tricky. Some of them, like Conquest (and at the moment, myself) are “goatee dependent” costumes. War’s costume is constrained by his massive size (so a space marine suit works nicely for him). Death’s is constrained by his omnipresent face-shading (the television visage of T-O-E was a nice workaround for this).

Pestilence, though, was an absolute masterstroke. Joe had the idea and I think he hit it out of the park I’m at a loss as to how we can do a better costume for Pest. Hope you guys like all the work Joe put into this–see you on Monday!
