dragoness_eI saw quite a few nice costumes Saturday, in among the vast throngs of people.
The first few were outside, in the hotel's entrance drive under the building.

Inside, many more.

As previously mentioned, while waiting in line to get Timothy Zahn's autograph, I saw several nice costumes.
One was this Star Wars Mandalorian mercenary
..with helmet on
He and his buddy to the right made up his costume. Unfortunately, they made the mistake of making his wrist armor/flamethrower out of welded steel, and it got just a tad heavy after wearing around for a while. After these photos, he took the wrist pieces off and left them off.
I'm told by friends with experience in making metallic-looking robot costumes that you don't use metal, it's too heavy. Use vacuum-molded sheet plastic and spray-paint it with metallic paint, instead.
Knight Crusader
Grand Admiral Thrawn
...who just happens to be the major villain of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars novels.
Grand Admiral Thrawn and his Klingon Lady
I was told that this lady is a recent graduate in the field of Theatrical Design, and designed both their costumes.
A pair of Jedi, one wearing Rebel armor
Is that Silk Spectre from Watchmen on the left?
A very young Spiderman and R2-D2
Marvel's Deadpool and a random Mandalorian (Star Wars)
Princess Leia and R2-D2 re-enacting the opening scene from the original "Star Wars"
Princess Leia reacting to a very short Darth Vader
That Mandalorian about to take his helmet off
That's Deadpool to the right again.
A Tusken Sandraider from Star Wars
Star Wars: A Twilek Jedi vs Tusken Sandraider
Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps! Sort of
Right to Left: Katma Tui (a Green Lantern), John Steward (one of The Green Lanterns), some Jedi, and a Black Lantern.

Rest of Drow Raiding Party -- including Jarlaxle
You can see his hat on the table.
A Steampunk adventurer
The NCIS crew
Since these guys are wearing fairly mundane costumes, I almost didn't notice them. (Yes, goth fashion is mundane for Dragon*Con). Just before I passed these guys by, it registered that "Hey, isn't that goth girl's outfit oddly like Abby's?" I took a second look, and realized it WAS an Abby costume... and the rest of NCIS.
...and this is the first time I noticed they had a "Ziva" peeking over "Abby"'s shoulder.
The Highwayman
I thought this guy was doing a Solomon Kane costume, but he said no, just a highwayman from the period.
Another steampunk adventurer, this one with heavy weaponry
Dangerous Women
Left to right: DC's Wonder Woman, someone from a video game?, and Marvel's Enchantress (villainess).
Marvel's Green Goblin
More Heroines
I have no idea who these two characters are. Help me out, someone?
Tony Stark in his racing suit, scantily-clad girl (of course), and a female Iron Man costume
A Thor
Steampunk Professor X in his Wheelchair

A D&D Paladin
This fellow is cosplaying as his table-top D&D character. (Yes, I asked him who he was).
A rather well-done Spike (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Edward Scissorhands
Another Legolas
Mal and Inara from Firefly
Alas, these guys turned the wrong way just as I snapped a picture, and the crowd was too dense to ask them to pose for me.
A really impressive Steampunk adventurer/mad scientist
Venom (from Marvel) and victim
I have no idea what these 18th Century people are from
Nathan (the Repo Man) and Shilo from "Repo: A Genetic Opera"
I have no idea, but he was with Repo Man
