I had a couple people say that when I cosplay as konan this year I should have her paper wings as well. I would like some help on figuring on out how I should assemble these things. maybe have them move or something, I dunno.

any help would be nice thanks. :3

and as a joke I thought it'd be cool to say I want to do this. but I'm not actually going to try. >>> http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h53/Panderandom/Konan/Konan5.jpg

personally, my thought would be to get a wire frame and then instead of feathers, cut out white squares of paper in their place. of course, it can't be notebook paper as thats too fragile, but I forget the name of the more durable kind. should still be easy to find though. I suggest keeping a bunch of spare sheets incase you lose a few.

woah. I completely forgot about that topic. thanks for reminding me seraph.

XD paper is her ninjitsu. the metal frame would be a good idea. and I think I'll read over on all those wing tips for reference and come up with something crazy.

Seraph · « **Reply #3 on:** November 19, 2008, 12:33:34 am »

some things to consider while making it is weather and it affects on your mobility.
if its very wide, you have to worry about blocking people, and moving thru narrow spaces(doors, bathroom stalls, etc). maybe see if you can try the expanding wings tuturial I believe is in the topic I mentioned earlier.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #4 on:** November 19, 2008, 08:05:54 am »

You could always make them minisized and easy to get them off. cuz depending how you do them your gonna have to get those weird vibrent band things on them. and the'll be really heavey and hard to monever. If I cosplayed Konan I would not even try and just trow paper at people. =]
Oh and if you use real paper you would not be able to move them at all.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #5 on:** November 19, 2008, 10:05:53 am »

true. yeah I was going to go for minisized, actual size would be waaaaay to big. XD it is just a maybe later thing to do. I don't think I can get it done by kcon 09.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #6 on:** November 19, 2008, 01:00:59 pm »

Yah they look a little more difficult then my Sasori cosplay I changed into something even EPICER! >:3
But I'll help if you need any help I HAVE GLUE! ='D

tofutakeout · « **Reply #7 on:** November 19, 2008, 01:24:16 pm »

yay for glue! what about being something epicer? I wanna know, maybe I do know but I can't remember.

yeah I think I'm going to hold off on winged konan. but I want to know what I should do when the time comes.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #8 on:** November 19, 2008, 04:27:36 pm »

Im doing the version of Sasori before he dies (when he trancfers into that other body with the red cloak type thing, the missing arm, and the sword.) I just need to figure out how to cut my arm in half. XD

If it was at Kumoricon 09' that would be so epic. But they look like they would take waaaay longer to make.

Seraph · « **Reply #9 on:** November 19, 2008, 04:34:00 pm »

@KFC
keep your real arm inside your shirt with something to be your half "arm".

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #10 on:** November 19, 2008, 04:37:33 pm »

@seraph:
Thats what I was thinking but then it would hurt after a while. And id have to put something over it so it looks like the way I want it.

@tofu:
(forgot to add this)
You could always use some type of wire and plastic and glue paper to it a certain way....That might make it look good.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #11 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:17:29 pm »

@kfc
ideas ideas ideas, I love them all. you know what, when I do my wings you should do yours. :3 we could be the winged couple.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #12 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:21:40 pm »

@tofu:
It turns out my wings were gonna be way to big to get anywere with. And I cant make them now cuz then they would have those stupid vibrant tags all over on them to make them safe.
o-o
So Im doing the Sasori right when he gets stabbed by his replacement puppet parents. (a cosplay never been done before on cosplay.com....I pwn that is all....XD)

But just so we dont get this thred locked.....How would you attach the wings if you were wearing the cloak thing?

tofutakeout · « **Reply #13 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:25:51 pm »

I think I might go with the wing tutorial that was part of that link seraph posted. and I'll probably ask the only girl on cosplay.com that did winged konan some questions.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #14 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:29:30 pm »

Yah that might be best considering I cant make crappola~! XD
Hmm I wanna see what the wings that lady did are =oo
You give me link? ^.^

it's pretty good. hey when I do decide to do the wings you should do yours with me. I'll help you and we'll figure something out together. :3

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #16 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:44:34 pm »

Ohhhh thats awesome!

Ok but right now I turned the wings into swords for my other version of Sasori XD
But im sure we'll figure everything out =3

Seraph · « **Reply #17 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:44:58 pm »

I want to do a winged cosplay one day....however there isn't other winged characters left in naruto. unless you do some semi original like angel haku.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #18 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:46:16 pm »

@kfc
we will! we will!

@seraph
ooooooooooh angel haku would be cool! well theres winged sasuke. I think there might be a couple others too.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #19 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:49:06 pm »

@tofu:
Winged sauske looks like a transvestite XD

@seraph:
Lawl angel haku sounds epic! XD Yet last year I only saw 1 haku.....o-o

tofutakeout · « **Reply #20 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:50:41 pm »

yeah not to many haku's. that'd be crazy a winged naruto character cosplay group. XD

sasuke
konan
sasori
haku?

hey what about diedara? he has birds. XD

Seraph · « **Reply #21 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:52:23 pm »

I dun like sasuke's wings(look like hands), his emo-ness(not as bad after time skip), and his recent overpoweredness.

angel haku has been done at least once before so it wouldn't be completely original.

I dun think deidara would count

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #22 on:** November 19, 2008, 05:53:40 pm »

@seraph:
Lawl they do look like hands XD

@tofu:
Uhhh take all the dead people and stick wings on them XD
angel Sasori and Deidara.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #23 on:** November 19, 2008, 06:09:27 pm »

yeah webbed hands.

@kfc
yeah all the kage's and such. oooooh naruto's mommy. she's pretty*sigh*

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #24 on:** November 19, 2008, 06:25:42 pm »

@tofu:
If I put wings on my Sasori and then a deidara Id probly turn it into a yaoi situation o-o
Some of the kages dont matter XD
Ah go go kage rangers! Thats original-ish.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #25 on:** November 19, 2008, 06:28:17 pm »

nooooo. I'm liking sasorixkonan better now. them together with wings. it just works! :3 lol

kage rangers? okay your just being silly now. and getting off topic.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #26 on:** November 19, 2008, 06:31:04 pm »

Well yah sasorixkonan works.....mainly just the wings and sasori has the girly man deidara...sorry off topic.

Uhhhh Well anyway if you need any help I have glue....and some talent for makeing things look exactly like they are. Like painting and everything.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #27 on:** November 19, 2008, 06:34:13 pm »

and paper wings are probably easier to make then sasori's. :3 when the time comes I know we'll do well.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #28 on:** November 19, 2008, 06:36:19 pm »

Hopefully I can make my wings all I have to do is recut it out from the plastic and attach it to the rod then im done......
Yah well figure more out when its a little closer to the con.

bucket_stalker · « **Reply #29 on:** November 19, 2008, 07:39:00 pm »

tofutakeout · « **Reply #30 on:** November 19, 2008, 07:50:02 pm »

@bucket

@bucket

ok get a specical type of art wiring most art stores have them and you can put glue on it and put papers to the glue and the wires are bendable

tofutakeout · « **Reply #32 on:** November 20, 2008, 03:52:03 pm »

what do you think I should do if it rains? is there some sort of primer for paper to make it durable?(just thought of this today)

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #33 on:** November 20, 2008, 03:52:54 pm »

LAMINATED PAPER! XD

tofutakeout · « **Reply #34 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:31:37 pm »

it'd look to shiny then.

needs to look like paper.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #35 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:33:43 pm »

Hmmmmmm......How about I cut out some certain paper thin plastic I can get.....naturaly its waterproof, would look like paper if I painted it, and would be lighter then everything else.

bucket_stalker · « **Reply #36 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:35:11 pm »

yay for plastic

tofutakeout · « **Reply #37 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:36:48 pm »

@kfc
...yesh. and I have tons of wire to help you with sasori wings when you need it. :3 and any other random material I can find.

@bucket
plastic....is sometimes your friend. XD

bucket_stalker · « **Reply #38 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:37:55 pm »

yes somtimes it is and sometimes its not

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #39 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:39:01 pm »

@tofu:
Im not going to be able to do the winged Sasori. I cut up the torso to put the swords and stuff in it for the other version so it looks normal-ish....I'll send picks later.....Anyway! So did you ask that one lady about the wings yet?

tofutakeout · « **Reply #40 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:39:58 pm »

nah not yet. I will in a month or so probably. right now is....hectic for things like this.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #41 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:41:15 pm »

Yah I guess it does get kinda hectic but I would ask just to get the idea done and out of the way.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #42 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:42:30 pm »

don't worry it'll come back to me in about a month so I'll be good till then. even if I wrote down the info now, I'd lose the paper it was on.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #43 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:46:18 pm »

Lol XD
I guess that makes sence.
I'll just keep in mind that the wings will be kinda difficult and I have to find certain plastic for them.
