One of most favourite activities for all anime fans is Cosplay!  For many, its
making the costumes and playing the character, and for others it's just seeing
the amazing work of the cosplayers in bringing anime characters to life.
Celebrating this great part of anime culture, Madman\'s National Cosplay
Competition showcased the best of the best.  At the same time, the Madman
Fanzone was busy with cosplay activity as well - but with a twist.
This time we've had some fun with artwork depicting anime characters, dressing
up as other anime characters!
Read on for our winners and honorable mentions!
WINNER
Lucky Lagann by bonxy
bonxy blew us away with this beautifully coloured piece with the ultra cute
girls of Lucky Star dressing up in the garb of Gurren Lagann.  Not only an
extremely impressive piece with strong, clean lines and composition, you can
tell right away who the characters are playing as - a worthy winner!
bonxy wins 1st prize of a $150 Madman store voucher!
SECOND PLACE
The Duel by Veleven
One of the most dynamic pieces we received, not only is there a crossover of
costumes, but the two characters, Zoro and Vegeta have decided to battle each
other in their swapped roles. Fantastic expression and action on this piece
Veleven wins 2nd prize of a $100 Madman store voucher!
THIRD PLACE
Pierce The Heavens by Mul
In a very effective take on the distinctive, thick-lined "eyecatch" screens that
sport the middle of each Gurren Lagann episode, Mul has produced a top piece.
Haruhi as the leader of Dai Gurren looks a treat, retaining her signature yellow
ribbon.
Mul wins 3rd prize of a $75 Madman store voucher!
FOURTH PLACE
re-l by Yuna
Yuna's piece slinked its way up our list as each time we looked at it, it struck
us with the quality if the image, but most importantly, it's clear at a glance
who the two characters are; re-l of Ergo Proxy dressed as Hell Girl, what a
sinister but gorgeous combination!
Yuna wins 4th prize of a $50 Madman store voucher!
