FFIX cosplayers:
Zidane- Heather
Steiner - Rodney
Beatrix -Brittney
Freya - Thena
Kuja - Me
Vivi - Roshi
Amarant - Mike
Garnet (Dress outfit) - Scarlet
Garnet (normal) - Sam
Zorn and Thorn - Katie and roommate
Eiko - Scarlet's friend

We still need:
Quina
Queen Brahne
Black Waltzes

(if you want to be part of the group please send me a pm with the position you are applying for and a picture of a past cosplay and I will talk it over with the rest of the group and get back to you.)

Alright I wanted to have a place where our group could come together and talk about our progress as well as photo shoots and maybe a skit? I didn't want to bog down the other final fantasy thread.

Alright as for my progress:
All I need for trance Kuja is to attach the rest of the feathers to the shirt, make the poofy shoulder part and get white fabric for the sleeves, back skirt and leg. It won't take much time I just need to get around to doing it. I plan on having it done for Mew con and testing it out before a bigger convention

Photo shoot:
I think we need to have a private one. I am thinking about asking Emily to do it. I will probably pay her for this one. She has taken some fantastic pictures of a few of us before so I think she would be great.

Skit:
It might be cool to have a skit for the con but I don't have anything in mind off the top of my head. Feel free to discuss about it here.

Most of what I have to do for Queen Garnet is beading and handwashing the cosplay. I hope to have the money to commission someone to make the clay pieces out of metal so they will last longer and won't break. The other versions of Garnet I have all overlap in come pieces, so that makes it easier on me, I guess. xD

I want to get a new wig, though. maybe an even darker shade of brown; because contrary to popular belief, Garnet's hair isn't black if you look closely at the FMV scenes; it's just a really, really dark brown. First I'm going to try washing my wig to see if that helps it; I really need to get the hairspray out of it.

I like the idea of the private photoshoot; depending on when and where.

A new wig might help. But before spending the money I say wash it. I hope it works but a new wig might be softer and smoother....I want a new wig for Kuja XD

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #3 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:16:13 pm »

I love your wig; good Kuja ones must be hard to find.

You dyed it yourself, didn't you?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #4 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:02:38 pm »

Yeah. I really liked it before adding the feather. It was so pretty

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #5 on:** October 17, 2009, 12:30:00 am »

Well, I like the feather too. xD I would be way too chicken to dye/paint it or the wig myself.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #6 on:** October 17, 2009, 09:17:21 am »

Well the dye washes out so it you mess up just wash it and try again

Whee! I need to.. start on my costume. XD As soon as I get a sewing machine under my belt(I should be getting one this week from a woman I work with), I'm startin up lessons again, meaning my teacher can help me work on cosplay. -dance- But I can probably start on the hat or something if I can find good materials for it and all. When I actually get started I'll give a better explination on what I'm up to~
Now it's off to go do a sickly search for cosplay! Whee!

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #8 on:** October 19, 2009, 10:54:12 pm »

Oh, right, Nikki; my friend's name is Emilie. xD I keep laughing how there's this list of names, then 'Scarlet's Friend'.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** October 19, 2009, 11:14:56 pm »

Yeah I figured that out. I'll get around to changing it eventually

nikkiolie · « **Reply #10 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:24:52 pm »

Hey Scarlet you are going to try to go to Sakuracon right? I am planing a formal version of Kuja for it maybe we can get matching outfits

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #11 on:** October 25, 2009, 02:07:00 pm »

It all depends on how much money I can accrue. KCon is priority, then Sakura, then Mew. About Sakura... I'll be eighteen by then, but I don't know if I'll be able too because I have school on that Friday and would probably have to miss a little thursday in order to get there. My mom would have a cow, even though she technically wouldn't be able to legally stop me. xD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #12 on:** October 25, 2009, 03:43:54 pm »

Yeah I miss Thursday and Friday for it. My parents don't care as long as I get good grades

nikkiolie · « **Reply #13 on:** January 26, 2010, 09:37:23 pm »

Bumping this because I want to make sure that those that are cosplaying with us still are in fact going to cosplay with us. Also we now have a Lani

and a Ruby ^_^

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #14 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:42:45 pm »

^_^ im glad you bumped it thats how i found it! would you still like me to send you pm or not?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #15 on:** January 27, 2010, 09:15:11 am »

No you don't have to PM me

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #16 on:** January 28, 2010, 11:30:56 pm »

Hey, Laurie and I just want to restate that we're going to try and attempt Black Waltz 2&3

I already have most of the planning ready, we're just waiting for the money to get started on them. Then it's just a matter of the wings that'll kill me.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #17 on:** January 29, 2010, 10:40:53 am »

Alright good to know ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2010, 06:07:16 pm »

Going to update the group a little. We lost Steiner and Beatrix. But I may have found a Puck. So if anyone is interested in doing either Steiner or Beatrix let me know.

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2010, 01:00:26 am »

;o;
I really wanted to pester Steiner too!!!!

Me and Scarlet were talking about an FFiX picnic on day zero, and maybe a shoot...dunno what you guys think of that for an idea n.n;;;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2010, 09:57:23 am »

Sounds good to me. I'll give you a heads up at this point, it may change. But currently I have lost all motivation to work on Trance. There is still a long time before Kumoricon so maybe it will come back ^_^

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #21 on:** March 14, 2010, 11:19:02 am »

so i totaly realized... if i tan for lani.... i'll be tan for terra O.o

nikkiolie · « **Reply #22 on:** March 14, 2010, 12:47:51 pm »

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #23 on:** March 14, 2010, 01:30:28 pm »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #24 on:** March 14, 2010, 03:43:45 pm »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #27 on:** July 07, 2010, 10:23:01 am »

Well con is getting close and we need to kinda start thinking of a day we want to wear this. The final fantasy photo shoot is set for Sunday. We could do this then.

I am hoping to get a photographer to get some good group shots too. I think Emily would do a good job, that is if she is going this year x.x We used her to get some pictures of our Organization XIII group and she takes great pictures. Here are some examples of her work.

We will also need to find a good area to take some pictures too. I'm sure I could find some places. I just need to explore Portland one day XD

Does anyone have any thoughts on day and time for this? I think we could wait on the time till the schedule comes out.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #28 on:** July 07, 2010, 11:56:12 am »

i am set up for wearing it saturday... i can not chang any of my costumes around because of the photo shoots already set up ;_;
