I hate to be a big butthead, but I think I'm going to change again.
It was brought to my attention how good of a Hinako I would make, and I can't help but agree.
So, swap me from Momoko to Hinako.

Speaking of Hinako, what do you think I should do for her hair?
I feel like it would be incorrect if I didn't make it THICK AS HELL.
Maybe a short wig with 2 full sized clip on ponytails?

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #51 on:** June 02, 2011, 07:43:00 pm »

I think that could work. Hmmmmm, if you wanna save on money, make it a bit easier, and still be accurate you could go after more of a KoF 2000 look where her ponytails are shorter http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/208/380521-hinako_shijou_large.jpg

My only concern with the clip on thing is where would you clip them? Since there would be a bump from the clip, so they wouldn't lay down totally flat and look like parted hair at the ends if you get what I'm saying? I dunno, I'm a super stickler for accuracy in most things. I don't think it would look bad at all though and would probably be the easiest way to do it.

If you are crazy like me though, I'd probably weft together two wigs to get the accurate thickness of the wig and then style it from there. I have no experience wefting wigs but if you do decide to go that route, I'm sure Mei Long could offer a little advice.

Also hooray! No doubles now! Well I guess there is one double if Washougal goes from a maybe to confirmed.

Jawsome.
I'm going to reprise Yamazaki or do something new. I always wanted to try Rugal... But Yama is a ton easier, since the costume is complete. Shermie and Chris... All we'd need is a Yashiro!
It would be sweet if we could get the 4 Heavenly Kings (good luck getting a Geonitz) and the rest of the followers - but even just Iori, Leona, Vice/Mature, Yamazaki is cool enough!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #53 on:** June 02, 2011, 08:22:42 pm »

I'm pretty stoked with the lineup we have so far.

And damn you all! There's no chance I'm gonna get anyone else from the Garou team >: Maybe I can convince some of my dude friends to dress like the Lilian Knights though, that would be a decent trade off. I know my boyfriend would probably do it.

CloudStrife32 · « **Reply #54 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:03:33 pm »

@HellSap: If it weren't for the fact I already convinced a friend to be Rugal, I would've tried to convince you... Oh well! Yamazaki's always cool to see! : D

And and and... I see there's a possibility of an Ash and a Benimaru. My life is complete now~ =3=

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #55 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:49:13 pm »

So your friend is for sure Rugal? Want me to add him to the list?

CloudStrife32 · « **Reply #56 on:** June 02, 2011, 11:26:30 pm »

It's a her, actually. xD
And she has a forums name, it's Frozen Light.
You can put her under the 'maybe' list, with my Vice and I.

HellSap · « **Reply #57 on:** June 03, 2011, 10:20:33 am »

Femme Rugal? Why not just Adelheid?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #58 on:** June 03, 2011, 11:35:27 am »

OSWALD vs. OSWALD!?! That'd be sweet!!!

soundninja12 · « **Reply #59 on:** June 03, 2011, 03:08:08 pm »

I kinda beg to differ... Unless, of course, one was an alternate outfit.

Nikki: I don't think I could weft two wigs together. It seems quite the difficult goal.

Not a problem! If he goes with the normal black with red and some yellow, I can do something else! (Maybe blue with yellow and some white, sticking with my college's colors...)

Dubaby · « **Reply #61 on:** June 14, 2011, 09:52:55 pm »

So since my groups Teen titans cosplay got cancelled, I'm thinking I might just have to do May Lee for K'Con. I love her character design so much, and it really shouldn't be too difficult. =]

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #62 on:** June 14, 2011, 10:05:25 pm »

Sounds super fab~ Would be a nice cosplay to see n.n

Dubaby · « **Reply #63 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:03:05 pm »

So after looking at some possible options for a May Lee wig, I came across a wig on super sale from a seller I really like (the same place I got my Chane/Lady Gideon wig which I love) and took the $19 price tag for a normally $30 wig as a sign to buy and do the cosplay....

Here's the wig I just bought. The style is the same as the other wig I've bought from them, which when worn looks very similar to May Lee's style. There's a chance the wig will look a little too blue when it gets here, but just dying it a bit darker seemed worth the cheap price. =]

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #64 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:09:31 pm »

Its a nice color, shouldn't take too much work actually xD Atleast thats what i'm thinking.

Dubaby · « **Reply #65 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:16:03 pm »

That's what I was thinking.... probably just do a bit of black or something to even out the color and darken it up a bit. I'd rather have to darken the wig, then have gone for one of the already dark wigs and had it end up with not enough of the blue color in it.

Now trying to salvage THAT would have been a real pain! XD

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #66 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:34:10 pm »

I god xo never sharpie dye something though~ its such a pain...I don't even know.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #67 on:** June 15, 2011, 12:57:20 am »

If you need help Kaitlyn you can come over sometime this summer and I can give you tips~ I'm so glad you are joining us though! I'll add you to the list <3

EDIT: Also about the black. It might not be a good idea to put any black in the wig unless you can find a true black. Most black is a really dark blackish purple so if you put it on wigs you will get a purple shine to it. I'll look around at some inks and stuff though and see if I can figure something out for you.

Dubaby · « **Reply #68 on:** June 15, 2011, 01:37:11 pm »

That'd be awesome.... I've never dyed a wig before so any assistance would be awesome! There is also still a chance that the wig will be fine as is, but it's always good to plan ahead!

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #69 on:** June 16, 2011, 11:33:20 am »

I might be doing Momoko. :O That is if you guys take doubles.

Dubaby · « **Reply #70 on:** June 28, 2011, 04:46:54 pm »

Got my May Lee wig!!!!!!! I AM GETTING SO EXCITED FOR THIS GROUP, GUYS YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!! =]

This is it right out of the bag, so I'll be sure to do some styling beofre con so that the ends of the wig and that main bang piece flip out like they should.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #71 on:** June 29, 2011, 03:03:07 pm »

Wow! That looks really good! Nice picking, Dubaby!

Roah · « **Reply #72 on:** June 29, 2011, 04:11:55 pm »

Well, turns out my sister isn't going on a cruise so she'll be here for Kumoricon. She wants to cosplay something else but I'm trying to convince her to go as Orochi Shermie. She's two inches shorter than me, petite and we look different but I still think it'd be fun. She says she doesn't want to make the costume but once I have Shermie's done it'd be easy for me to make hers, so I'll try and convince her then.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #73 on:** July 01, 2011, 11:45:09 pm »

I've found my blue suit, which looks somewhat similar to Oswald's style, as well as some sunglasses that look A LOT like his. I pretty much just need to find some nice shoes and a pair of gloves, as well as figure out what to do with my hair. (Oh, and the cards will be no problem, either).

soundninja12 · « **Reply #74 on:** July 02, 2011, 04:53:58 pm »

I was thinking of using this wig for Hinako.

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #75 on:** July 02, 2011, 09:26:48 pm »

It looks like a nice color~ i've gotten a wig from them before too and it was perfect~

I'm having a rough time finding a wig for Shermie...what do you guys think of this one?

http://cgi.ebay.com/115-New-long-Red-Brown-Cosplay-Party-Straight-Wig100cm-/150514199978?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions&hash=item230b586daa

I'm worried it's a little light.

Oh! Or this one may be better?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #78 on:** July 14, 2011, 07:10:54 am »

I think the second one is closer to Shermie's hair, both in style and shade of color.

Roah · « **Reply #79 on:** July 16, 2011, 03:17:13 pm »

Ah. Well the style doesn't matter so much 'cause I'll cut and style it anyway, I'm just worried more about the color. I think you're right though, the second one is closer :I

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #80 on:** July 16, 2011, 10:29:47 pm »

Yeah, either one would still need to be styled...

Dubaby · « **Reply #81 on:** July 19, 2011, 12:50:13 am »

So does anyone think it will look weird if I opt to do the regular version of May Lee instead of her 'Hero' version with the longer gloves and cape???... just trying to finalize which variation I'm doing so I can order gloves and such.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #82 on:** July 19, 2011, 01:28:09 am »

Honestly, I think her regular version looked better to begin with. Go for it!

With that in mind... since I said I would see about doing an alternate colored version of Oswald, should I keep my natural hair color? I'm a brunette. I'd take a pic and show off my locks, but I don't have my camera with me at the moment...

Dubaby · « **Reply #83 on:** July 31, 2011, 08:56:57 pm »

Working on May Lee at this very moment... decided on her regular version since I feel more comfortable in a normal t-shirt as opposed to a tank-top. In the middle of painting the frog onto my shirt, and plan on doing another layer of yellow after it dries a bit before moving on to outlining and starting on the eyes.

Since I dropped my Arakawa cosplay I'm really trying to focus my time onto May Lee, getting to the point where I'm going to have to figure out how I want to do her glasses/goggles and belt though. UGHHHHH.

HellSap · « **Reply #84 on:** August 02, 2011, 06:11:17 pm »

Started working on Ryo Sakazaki... feeling him more than Yamazaki this year, and it will be pretty easy to put together.

TheDevilsNightmare · « **Reply #85 on:** August 08, 2011, 05:29:27 pm »

So what day is the meetup

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #86 on:** August 09, 2011, 11:46:53 am »

I think we should aim for day 1 or 3 sense day 2 already has alot of shoots.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #87 on:** August 09, 2011, 12:41:25 pm »

I support Day 1, especially if it's before 6:30, because that's when my comedy panel is scheduled for.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #88 on:** August 09, 2011, 07:07:39 pm »

I won't be able to do Day 1 or 3, too many pre-planned things on those days.

I am pretty sure most of the people that are in my group are shooting for Day 2 as well as I am, but whatever is chill, I don't mind not making the meetup.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #89 on:** August 09, 2011, 10:21:48 pm »

Day 2 could work for me, so long at it's in the morning. I definitely want to spend the afternoon/evening in my Sailor Neptune cosplay.

DJSessum · « **Reply #90 on:** August 12, 2011, 11:19:54 am »

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad that there is a KoF cosplay group for Kcon, now I won't feel so out of place as K'. n_n

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #91 on:** August 12, 2011, 12:05:03 pm »

I'm curious, were you the 'K from '07?

TheDevilsNightmare · « **Reply #92 on:** August 28, 2011, 12:41:21 pm »

Anyways....... Kumo almost here and yet I don't see not specific time and day......

Skyspiders · « **Reply #93 on:** August 29, 2011, 07:32:56 am »

Hi There! I will be cosplaying Yuri Sakazaki!http://www.cosplay.com/costume/297850/

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #94 on:** August 29, 2011, 07:33:30 am »

I'm going to throw out a random time then and say we do it Sunday at 2, everyone cool with that? We can go to the park across the street from the Hilton to meet.

EDIT: Actually lets do it at 4 or 5, multiple huge groups are using it from 12-3

Skyspiders · « **Reply #95 on:** August 29, 2011, 07:51:00 am »

If you must do it on Sun then I request 5pm or later even O.O.... Because I would like to attend the sailor moon photo shoot at 4pm

Much agree with 5pm or later Xo else I can't go.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #98 on:** August 29, 2011, 03:12:44 pm »

Well, if you guys wanna do it a different day too let me know~ i don't really mind what goes on, just myself and 4 of my friends probably won't show up if its another day since we all have other plans that didn't work out on any other days. As for times what would work better for ya'll? Maybe 6 or 7 for sunday? What about another day-
