Ellis, oh Ellis.
In 2013, Left 4 Dead became a game very dear to my heart. And Ellis was the character that stood out the most to me, with his Southern accent and funny style, and his stories about Keith.
I first wore Ellis to Youmacon 2013 with my friends as the Hunter and Witch.
Then, I wore him to ALA with my friend as Keith, and later to Con Ja Nai with my friend as Zoey.
Ellis' costume was pretty easy to put together.
The shirt was a yellow shirt I bought at Joanns and then painted the Bullshifters logo onto, and then stained and made it all dirty.
The hat was a regular blue/white hat I got on eBay, and then made the truck logo out of foam and glued it on.
The coveralls I also bought on eBay.
The holster I made out of a cellphone case and attached it to a piece of elastic so it would sit on my leg well.
The guns I made using one dollar toy guns. I repainted them silver and then did all the detailing by hand.
The medkit and pills were also made by me.
