I want to get an Organization cosplay group together for kumoricon 09 and maybe even a photo shoot before/after con.
I would like to have one of each member. If you are interested let me know and send me some pictures of costumes you have done before.
Alright if you are interested in being in this group please send me a PM or an email (mulholln@onid.orst.edu) with:
Your Name
Your Age
A picture of past costumes
The character you are applying for
and where you live.
below are a list of the characters.
Organization XIII:
1 Xemnas
2 Xigbar (http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/435/o028og.png)
3 Xaldin (http://www.freewebs.com/aqualover/608pxxiiiorder03xaldin_2.png)
4 Vexen (http://www.wikispaces.com/file/view/Vexy-poo.jpg)
5 Lexaeus (http://kh2.ffsky.cn/pic/char/13/lexaeus01.jpg)
6 Zexion

11 Marluxia
12 Larxene
13 Roxas
14 Xion
The remaining characters are click able links.
-
I'll be Roxas, and a friend'll be Axel, but you already have them...
-
Yeah....I think I kinda have to have Marie and Anna in this group >_>;;; XDDDD
Sorry about that. But there will be plenty of duplicates. I am more of trying to get the harder organization members.
-
Yeah I know they are. But it helps to ask people. Like I might try asking the Rude from kumoricon last year if he would join in. I think he would be a good Xaldin
Also I think it would be pretty sweet if we did get all 13 together if we all got our corresponding shirts XD
http://kingdom-arts.org/t-shirts_kh.html
-
Yeah that is too bad. I got the Larxene one at Sakuracon, and Marie and Anna got Roxas and Axel ^_^
-
Well...I might be able to convince my Axel to be Demex, like he was planning on doing before....
-
Well see. I think LtCommanderRichie may be going as Demex >_> Maybe Vexen? He looks like a girl enough XD
-
Yeah~ I'm planning on cosplaying Demyx at this years Kumoricon. : D (You've prolly seen me as Demyx before, Nikki. :3)
And I totally want the number IX sweatshirt from KingdomArts like burning. : O I was bugging my mum about it a few weeks back.
Dana, you would be so adorable as Xion! X3
-
Well see. I think LtCommanderRichie may be going as Demex >_> Maybe Vexen? He looks like a girl enough XD
Auricle? She cosplays Demyx~
LtCommanderRichie said she would do it ^_^
-
Vexen does....I donno...If I have the money, I may try and do Saix or Xagbar...Or maybe Xalden...
-
WOO YEAH KH GROUP!
You know, you guys can always have more than one Demyx if you like. I have more than just one costume for this con. Cosplay Contest, Cosplay Chess and general D.Gray-Man insanity besides those two will also be on my list. Three days, four costumes. Again. I'll be in and out of costumes probably a bit faster than you can blink.
I'll still be Demyx, though! Put too much work into that sitar not to.
-
True, but you can do really epic pics with just one of each.
-

I understand we can have more than one but I would like to get a whole set of 13 or 14 together >_>
I will add other people to the list too.
-
I wanted to post an update. As of now (this is subjected to change) this group would be meeting the Sunday of the con.
I also want to make this a little more fair to other people. I am trying to put together the best group possible so if you are interested in joining please PM me
Your Name
Your Age
A picture of past costumes
The character you are applying for
and where you live.
It would be best if each character could have their corresponding weapons as well so applicants would need to be able to make them or be able to buy them or have a friend make them
-
She has a key blade if I remember correctly >_> Yeah....in the previews for the new game she has a keyblade
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khDMhIohTD4
-
hm. I know I have an old pink wig, but I don't think it's long enough for Marluxia. ><
-
Alright I got another two that are going to be cosplaying Xemnas and Saix
So I still need:
Xigbar
Xaldin
Vexen
Lexaeus
Luxord
Thats only five more out of 14! If you have a friend that is wondering who they should cosplay as you could always mention it to them ::)
-
You've got me and Laurie as Marluxia and Zexion.
-
Yeah I know I have you two down as them K-rock :P
As for the costume we can talk it over ;D
Lets start off with something simple: Gloves
I am using my moms leather gloves, there doesn't need to be much detailing in them.
Next the jacket...
I can't sew to save my life so I am buying mine. And just a personal issue of mine is that I like things to look the best so the place I am getting my jacket is quite expensive ($200) But for those of you interested. http://kingdom-arts.org/costumes.html She was at Sakuracon selling the Organization tee-shirts. I would say for people making their jackets try to get material that will give a leather/pleather look like the ones in the picture please ^_^;
Boots:
Despite what many people think their boots aren't lace up. They have a flat squareish toe. I was lucky enough to already have the perfect ones :P And Dana (this is small details you don't have to do it) the girls have heels. If you really want to go into detail there is a design at the top of them but I am not too sure if I am going to add it or not.
boots (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/kingdomhearts/images/5/56/Cloak.jpg)
Detailing (http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/435/o028og.png)
Wigs: Wigs are another very important thing for a good costume. I get all my wigs at [img=http://stores.ebay.com/Professional-Only]http://Professional only[/img]Professionalonly on ebay.
Maybe latter I will go through and look for some wigs that might work for the characters.
OH yes the beads. I'm not sure if I am going to order them or make them....which ever I choose they are going to look like this (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3325208733_020c880815.jpg?v=0) and if someone wants to order these ones you can get them here (http://orgxiii.org/commish_organization13.htm) for $25.
Weapons: I would like for everyone to have their characters weapons but I can understand if you don't have the time, money, or the skills to do them. There are a lot of tutorials on cosplay.com on how to make the weapons. If you have any questions feel free to ask me and I can try to help out as best as possible.
The last thing that I want to address is optional but it would really pull a costume together. Contacts. Some of the characters, such as Saix have yellow eyes and it would look so much better with contacts. Other characters it isn't much of a big deal. I am going to look in to getting some prescription ones (covered by my insurance) the next time I go to the eye doctor.
So that is what I have to say about the costumes. If anyone has any questions, concerns or objections or if you have any better suggestions please let me know.
Also the reason why I am getting the jacket at a different place from the beads is that I submitted the quote form at the place where I am getting the beads and they haven't gotten back to me yet.
-
Anna and I have been thinking, and we aren't really sure we wanna be a part of a group Cosplay yet. DX We kinda like doing our own thing more then anything else. So for now Nichole, you can take us off the list!
-
I understand. Would you at least be willing to join us for a photo shoot sometime?
-
Oh probably! Photoshoots are always fun. >3
-
Yeah and it would be pretty sweet to have some pictures of the whole group XD
-
Dana I don't think the contacts are an issue for you. I think her eyes are a normal color. I was more worried about character who have strange color eyes.
As for the material that is alright. If it cost too much don't worry about it. I would take a look though. There is some material that LOOK like pleather but costs half as much. But again, if it is an issue then don't worry about it.
-
Sounds like a plan.
I'm sure there is some sort of material that will give off a shine when you take a picture. That might not be a bad idea. To take a picture of the material and see how it turns out :P
-
Well nikki is Lar Lar, and I'm Marly. And then my friend is Zexion. That's about all I know. Haha
-
Alright I will post the info. We now need a Axel and Roxas >_>;

5 Lexaeus (http://kh2.ffsky.cn/pic/char/13/lexaeus01.jpg)
6 Zexion (http://kh2.ffsky.cn/pic/char/13/zexion01.jpg) - Tifa

14 Xion (http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww49/TerraAquaVenXehanort/Kingdom%20Hearts/Xion.jpg?t=1239661969) – Dana
We are half way there ^_^
-
D8 Awe
-
I was planning on asking her. I'll send her a text right now ^_^
-
LAWL dA is broken. I was trying to find a good picture of Marly to check what eye color he has (blue, so I'm good on the contact issue) and it kept saying there were zero deviations to display for 'All Time' which was a little weird. So I checked by putting in Akuroku and got zero and went, "Oh! Yup, yeah they're broken."
-
Well good news! Missy will cosplay Axel and I am asking if Emily will but I bet she will.
-
is it a BIG zipper or a little one?
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3089/2593566087_62381ea8c6.jpg?v=1227453475
-
Yeah that would help. But oh well I'm sure it will still looks amazing. You are so good at sewing ^_^
-
I don't think anyone will notice. Lots of people have the smaller zippers anyway :P
-
I don't think you need to worry about it. I mean you don't plan on walking hunched over. So even if it touched the ground when you bend over or sit it should drag, just touch. And their coats aren't long enough to touch the ground when they are standing so if yours done then it needs to be shorter ^_^
-
dudee.
everyone gets active when i'm not around har.
i wanted to cosplay xion this year but don't know if i have the funds to complete her in time~.
not really throwing myself out there for involvement in the group since xion is taken & everything,
but just wanted to stop by & say something since i had been lurking around for kingdom hearts activity this year at the con & of course it happens when i decided to not check in for awhile xD .
i know your pain about the expensive-ness of the people that make the awesome coats nikkiolie,
main reason i'm not sure if i can do xion,
but asdfghjkl those coats are worth it c: .
-
Yeah I am so excited to get mine. I hope I can get it around July. I may have to add a lining in the hood so it doesn't look too weird.
-
Yeah it happens. Tifa and I will be saving up as soon as summer starts and we start working full time. If we don't get the coats we've been planning on for k con we'll prolly go permanently emo for the whole weekend.
-
what coats are you planing on getting? So Organization soot at 3 then? Maybe after we are done then we can steal a photographer for a private shoot for this group?
-
i was going for the lining if i remember correctly myself Cx .
my total for the xion coat was like 290$, at the most sdfghjkl.
the only thing i can complain about regarding her jackets is the unfunctional hood-- since to have the hood accurate it would ruin how the hood & collar are supposed to lay and look.
i mean i think you can use it, but its just not accurate, not that it matters THAT much hah.
i need a job.
badly lol.
i hope your work goes well k-rock & you don't be forced into emo-ness by lack of awesome jackets 8C !
lmao.
-
I'm not sure. Tifa found them and they're really accurate(with the big zippers and everything). I want to get one with a functional hood though. I'll try to see if I can't find the link.
-
I should have lots of money by the time k-con comes around. ;D
I was going to check in with the woman commissioning mine in a week or two.
There are the two places I was looking, and the two places that look the best
http://orgxiii.org/commish_organization13.htm
http://kingdom-arts.org/costumes.html
-
I like the look of the Kingdom Arts one, and it says she can make the hood functional on request, so I might go with hers. I'll check with Tifa's pick once she sends me the link. (I failed at finding it. XD)
-
Yay~ Double post.
Okay, so I'm really leaning toward the orgxiii.org one, but the functional hood has only been made with the smaller type of zipper so far, and IDK if they'd be able to do it with the bigger one. Would that be a problem nikki?
-
It took a while for the Ogrxiii.org to respond and they wont be able to get your coat to you any earlier than August 1st. I went with the kingdom-arts because I personally though that the few differences there were looked better there.
-
Saeru (orgxii.org) was the one i contacted regarding my coat.
i had pretty much dicussed everything with her & she sent me the contract & everything for when i'm able to afford the jacket.
i had a chance to have a opening allll the way back in december but had to turn it down cause of the need of funds.
i'm still fighting myself over the hood thing sdfghjkl.
i don't know which i want.
i'm getting the big zipper & i think i was gunna go with black myself for xion.
even though in-game it looks more dark grey?
in the rendered models of xion in magazine shots it looks black.
i hate nomura for doing this thing with the jacket differences & the hair colour variations 8'C .
makes deciding harder pah.
-
I don't really think it is much of a choice in the hood. A hood would mess up my hair and it doesn't look good down
-
>.O Uggers... this is a tough choise...
-
Also I meet the girl from kingdom-arts in person so I feel a little more connected to her. She is the one that had the organization shirts at sakuracon.
-
Yeah, I think I'll sleep on it and talk it over with Tifa tomorrow to see what she thinks. I know we're going to get the org shirts from the kingdom-hearts for sure.
-
was she Rex Dart C8 <3 ?
or is it her girlfriend the roxas cosplayer that does the jackets?
oh yep it is her.
still-- sadfghjklrexdartsdfghjkl.
i know they're totally pretending xion doesn't exist anyways so xD har.
i'm probably going no hood.
[size]
-
Yeah, I think I'll sleep on it and talk it over with Tifa tomorrow to see what she thinks. I know we're going to get the org shirts from the kingdom-hearts for sure.
Sweet! We should get some pictures of the shirts as well.
-
I bet she might make it for you ^_^
-
there is one there
http://kingdom-arts.org/costumes.html
before the organization section
-
I sent her an email about a quote for Marly's scythe. Her chakrams look amazing, so I'd be willing to pay the money.
-
I bet it would be a lot. It was like $200 for Larxene's kunai so I am sure it would be around there >_>
-
Yeah this is true. But it'll be worth it. Besides, in one paycheck I get around $600, so I should have plenty. And if I don't, I can just wait two more weeks to get the next paycheck. It should be easy to pay for it once I start working, and if I can manage to get a second job it'll be even easier. I'll be completely wiped out by the end of the day everyday, but hey! Thinking like an optimist, at least I'll sleep better~!
-
it might be worth looking into on my part as well. I am trying to make her kunai but they aren't turning out well....I just don't know if I want to spend $200 on them x.x
-
I'm not any good at making props. At all. That much I know is true about me. XD That's why I'm getting a junior friend of mine to help with the other scythe I'm making. But it's a simpler design than Mar's, so I'm definitely thinking it a smarter deal to just buy it then try to make it myself and frustrate myself over it.
-
That sucks. Well the game should be out soonish ;D
-
Gives me time to get the necessary platform. xD
-
Someone is thinking about cosplay Saix....we must convince her to do so >:3
-
I haven't gotten a quote from the kingdom-arts girl, but somebody I asked on cosplay.com (because i'd already thought about getting someone there to do it) said they could make it for 75 dollars plus shipping and handling. Her props are really good so I'm probably going to go through her.
-
We have a Saix, don't we? o.o
Or are we just convincing them for the heck of it? xD
I didn't think we had one >_> I could be mistaken though
I hope the person will do it for 75 k-rock. That would be great.
-
Yeah! I just have to wait until next month.
*sighs* I really wish people would stop counting down how many school days us senior have left. It's left me in such a frazzled paranoid state.
-
I wouldn't worry too much about it. There is so much time between now and the con that you can easily make enough. I am predicting to make over 1000 this summer ;D
Oh and I guess we did have a Saix already :P
I couldn't remember if we did or didn't, but I didn't look at the list.
-
Oh it's not the money thing I'm frazzled about. I make 600 dollars per paycheck if I work a full 40 hour week, so that will be no problem. It's when all the people who know they're graduating start saying things like "Oh, only two weeks left until graduation~!" and "We only have X many B days left until we're done~!!" that gets my freaked because I'm not a definite graduate just yet... I won't know until I pass my senior finals with flying colors of a brilliant rainbow.
-
I see, so study hard and you should do just fine ^_^ I'm sure I am going to have that issue next year x.x
-
Alright we have a photographer for our private shoot. As of now the shoot is planed to be on Sunday but we don't have a time. The general organization shoot is at 3pm so it might be after that. Does anyone have a suggested time?
-
IDK but Dana and I are in Cake on a Plane, and we have a panel sunday evening that we have to go to.
-
I don't think our photo shoot will be at night >_>
-
Good point.... XD
-
Is everyone still up for our private shoot Sunday at 3?
-
I'm game.
I actually think I'm going to have a really nice pay check next time, so I might be able to order my coat!!! 8D I might actually get it in time for K con if I can have her rush it.
-
Once she started making it it didn't take long at all.
-
Sunday at three?
Hi, I'm in the Cosplay Contest. I have to be getting into my costume for judging by then, or at least leaving to do so. Giant skirt + annoying arm thing + taping myself into a bustier = takes a little while.
But I'll still bring my sitar and the rest of my Demyx, so that I'll be able to maybe catch about the first half of the Organization shoot. After that, if you guys promise not to harm it in any way shape or form I could let another Demyx borrow my sitar for the private shoot, unless I have enough time to attend part of that, too.
Sorry I haven't popped in since like, the first page, but yeah...
-
It will be fine. The contest comes first. I hope that we can get some ictures with you though :P
-
I just ordered my Marly wig... :3 I think I'm going to be so jumpy until it comes... Like: MAIL MAN~! *tackles* XD lol
-
I was the same way. I can't wait till you get it. I want to take pictures with you DX
-
I knooow, I want to have a Mar Mar/Lar Lar photoshoot so bad! lol
I'm cashing my check on Saturday, so I'm going to order my coat Monday morning. 8D I'm so happy Marluxia is finally coming together.
-
We can do it on the 1st :P
-
Yes. >D lol i'm so looking forward to that
-
So, I found out that my friend is going to be lazy (in other words, not make me make his costume) and be Org. 13 Sora. I might make him show up to this thing. It can make some funny pictures if wanted: ordination for Sora
-
8D ORLY?! >3
-
Uh...yeah.......
(Though, he's also very annoying, so idk...)
And another friend might be doing Xemnes, or an OC of his...
-
Well it still makes for funny pictures
-
Yep! So, I'll try to make him come! I'll probably be Rocker! Roxas on that day...
-
Uhm....LUXORD! Totally cosplaying him. Hopefully the jacket will be here on time! :D I ordered it with the beads, so I've got big zipper with beads. :) I just gotta dye my hair and I'm pretty much ready for it.
-
OH MY GOD A LUXORD YAY! >3<
-
Yeah I am looking forward to it. I just hope he gets his jacket.
-
Got an e-mail today from the lady. Said that she was going to try her best to have it ready. But not to expect it before the first. So I'm thinkin' that I may bribe her for over night shipping.
-
I think she would be more than willing to do over night if you paid for it :P
-
I'm sure. I just want to make sure that its here in time for the con. Make sure that everything fits right.
-
I'm sure if you did the measurements right then it will. Mine fits perfectly.
-
Yeah - I hope I did them right, but if not. it'll be in inch or two loose in a few places. But I don't think that'll be a problem.
-
Even tho I'm not cosplaying as any of the organization members :( I did find a website that sell's the boot's that look almost exactly like the Organization boots. http://www.hellocosplay.com/trinity-blood-cosplay-black-boots-p-488.html their from trinity blood, but look to much like the actual boots, except a little shiny.
-
They do look a lot like them, but they are too shiny for me =/
-
They do look a lot like them, but they are too shiny for me =/
ya, that's the main complaint I have with them, but sadly, they look more like the actual boot's than most boot's do.
-
My boots look a lot like theirs the only thing it is missing is the design at the top but you can't even see the top of the boots with my jacket on.
-
My boots look a lot like theirs the only thing it is missing is the design at the top but you can't even see the top of the boots with my jacket on.
that's true to, and in the end, unless your someone who dwells on every single detail (I do that, but It's when the cosplay's on me that I sort of freak out about certain odd's and end's) it doesn't really matter about the small thing's, as long as the bigger things are the same, it's good.
-
Alright con is getting closer and it looks like we only have five people so far. If anyone is interested please let me know and I'll see if we can work some things out.
So far we have
Larxene (http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs46/f/2009/225/1/6/What_do_you_want__by_nikkiolie.jpg) - Me

Also for those on the forum our photo shoot is going to be at three on Sunday at the Fountain Plaza with Jail Bread Design (http://jailbreakdesigns.deviantart.com/)
-
How far from the con center is Fountain Plaza?
-
Its a block away.
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi156.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ft16%2FTomtheFanboy%2FKumoricon%25202009%2F2009_small_area_03.png&hash=efc11dd9bdefa0b70afa64618ff523000a85b653) its a block to the left of the hotel on Salmon and Park
-
Oh! I see it now! It wasn't labeled as such on Google Maps.
-
lol yeah it took me two looks to find it too
-
I am going off that one, it could be called something else >_>

-
Sounds good to me. I'm sure all day Sunday we will be hanging out together XDDDD
-
Pretty much. haha
-
can we do casual organization members?
-
Well, in a couple of month's, I should have my Saix outfit underway, and hopefully bye next K-Con, I should have it done.
-
This is for the full outfit. I am going to be paying a professional to take our pictures so I really only want those in the jacket.
-
I need one bad ><
-
If you haven't hurd already - I'm like. 90% Done with my cosplay. My next thing is to sit and wait for my coat. Yes - that means that my hair no longer has ANY color to it. ANNNND I have my beads
