Right then, about the IGN convention. All what I'll write here would be based on my opinion, and my opinion only.
I heard about people travelling to different countries -from Oman- just to attend the IGN convention, or what I used to hear is 'comic con'. All I knew about it, is that people tend to dress in different costumes whether based on animes or game characters, I've also seen all sorts of pictures and videos about how crazy it gets, how exciting it is; like you get to live your favorite character, and meet those other people who are fans just like you.
I remember seeing a Facebook page about bringing IGN to Oman, and back then coz I lived in the Netherlands, I didn't care much coz I knew I wouldn't be in Oman to attend it, however I clicked the Like button, as it seems [ what I've been told too ] that if the page was liked by many, they will consider it.
As they say, everything happens for a reason, I moved back to Oman, and as the time got closer, the hype was increasing, and I remembered 'hey! I clicked the like button too.. oh.. I'm in Oman! ok time to choose a character'.
Thing is, with female characters you always have to reveal too much of your skin, and I wear Hijab, therefore it is a bit difficult to dress up as any of my favorite female characters [hint hint I LOVE caitlyn from League of Legends!].
I thought I wanted to be a Teemo coz well, that's the second character I loved, but to find exact materials was and still is difficult you know, it's either too expensive [like what am I supposed to do with the costume after the convention?] or you simply can't find it easily.
I did not want to be Batman coz obviously that's an easy thing anyone would do (Surprisingly no one did hmm..)
I did not want to cosplay in something that someone else would cosplay too, you know, where's the fun in that then.
So I went for a choice that mom resisted in the beginning and tried to change my mind.. Coz obviously it is a little too much.
KARTHUS!!!
He's such a cutie, all fully covered revealing no skin (that, if he has any skin HAH!)
Karthus is the death singer, in League of Legends.
AND YES, I DO PLAY KARTHUS!
here are some of the pictures.. all about me ofx. nyahahaha.

PENTAKILL!!
AND ANOTHER ONE
I couldn't take more pictures as my phone was in my bag and my picture was taken by others [paparazzi!]. it was an amazing experience honestly speaking. Although it was a bit small, yet so wonderful. I know I had a blast!
There were so many anime related things, such as posters, action figures, etc.
They had tournaments for some games too.
Unfortunately they only did the cosplay competition on the first day, had they done it on 2nd day.. who knows who might have won ;p hint hint.. my brother; I mean besides my amazing cosplay, his was the thing yo.
Until next time summoners..
