I still have my luke costume...was him last year...but...*stares at stomach* I'm so out of shape x.x...then again I wasn't in "abs of steel" shape last year either XD. I'll probly just make an attempt at hiding my stomach with a plush doll like my replica luke last year :3.

U-uuuuuu!

So I need to buy the second piece of metal for my Jay cosplay. I might just start it over because the metal I have is hard to work into his neck ornament [I feel like a Christmas tree].

But yeah. Going good 8 D

Serika · « **Reply #52 on:** August 14, 2009, 02:16:48 am »

Maybe, if I magically finish Shirl, Jay *shakes fist at Saleh*, and Fenimore earlier than planned, I can make an Arietta.

Though I don't know when or where I'd be able to change, since Saturday is Persona 4 day for me, and Sunday is Legendia... plusmondayasariettawouldsuck

speaking of which, I'm so totally almost done with my Norma dress! just gotta do the details on one arm and the blue trip and the white thing that is either a swirly heart or a uterus (srsly... wtf?) and then after that, all that's left are the shoes and her straw thingy. As for Alice, I've still got a ton to do.

so I'd like to suggest that (once the schedule is released) that we have a symphonia shoot and abyss shoot (and maybe a general shoot tacked on to each?) one on saturday and one on sunday? I'd say we should have the abyss one on the same day as kirk thornton's autographing session or something.

I second this.

Legendia's the only other Tales game I'm familiar with other than Abyss and maybe 2 hours on Symphonia so I'm looking forward to seeing you guys who're cosplaying from that game.

(For better or worse for my telling this but this is Ginpatsu from the Sakuracon boards. xD; )

Serika · « **Reply #61 on:** August 17, 2009, 03:50:44 am »

This doesn't...directly affect me, but just throwing my vote in that Symphonia day be Saturday. Notthatitmattersjustsuggestingit

Jay's top is done, and while there are a few minor flaws, I'd say it looks pretty good(!!!). The flaws that bother me the most do give it a sort of "worn and mended" feeling, so maaaaybe it's okay. Tomorrow I hope to finish the shorts and the shoes, and a good time will be had by all.
We also have a Fenimore who's...agreed to be Fenimore, so hurrah! We can always use more racists. Fenimore's outfit doesn't look too hard, plus I'm getting a little help, so I should be able to finish it in just a few days... And Shirley's virtually done already (okay, well maybe like 60% but still pretty close...) so maybe with the last few days, I CAN put together a wigless Arietta. I already have a black petticoat I'm using for Shirley... As long as Norma isn't too bothered by me wanting to change in her room all the time. (though maybe I should use that extra time to actually beat Abyss before deciding on Arietta. Hm.)

I just found my Abyss game that's been lost for a while. (Logged about 15 hours on it in the past 3 days xD)

Since I highly doubt I'll be able to bring my Jade's spear with me, I now have another idea for a weapon. Mostly for laughs though and because it's packing size. I'll bring other characters' weapons too if I get around to it.

As much as I'd love to, it won't be for this con either. I've seen another Jade at Sakuracon with a mini sized one and as cute as that is, I want a full-sized one so I can actually pretend to swab the deck with it. xD

It'll be the other joke-weapon I'm thinking about.

@Ino13: I hate to do it, but since I just got back from disneyland, I do believe a verse from it's a small world is in order? XD I told my friend about you (she showed up a few hours after I saw you) and she was seriously put out that she'd missed the only cosplayer there XD

@Cold Hearted: A deck brush would indeed be amazing! Maybe you'll have it done for next sakuracon?

Well, Norma's in the final stages and you have no idea how happy I am to be almost done with it! Vinyl is so annoying! I have to do the barcode on her back, the detals on her shoes, the blue stuff on her skirt and the white sleeve band thingies and that's it. so, hopefully that'll get done soon. If I have extra time (which I'm almost sure I won't) I might redo a couple things that didn't turn out as well as I'd have liked... anyway, I'll be undertaking some serious work on Alice soon, so I'll post some progress pics when I get around to it

No I havn't seen it yet.
So for the Tales of cosplays are we going to have it as a group gathering or no.

Posiee-chan · « **Reply #77 on:** August 25, 2009, 03:18:59 pm »

I say no. I know from experience that it just doesn't work as well. You have people showing up in different costumes and if you have a few that are themed one way or another, you have more fun and more cosplayers from the same game. It's always worked in the past, and although there will be cosplayers there from other games, it just generally works better. Most of the cosplayers are symphonia or abyss anyway, and I figure if there's more than one from a certain game then maybe just organize your own little shoot with a smaller group, if you want to...?

The deadline is the 28th for us to get on the signup sheet, so we should probably decide soon. I'd prefer to have symphonia on sunday and abyss on saturday, as would the rest of my group, but I could really go either way. I'd say we should aim for sometime around 3 or 4? I've heard photographers don't like the lighting around noon for some reason... maybe 2 would be good?

there's also a good chance Alice won't get done, but I'm gonna try as hard as I can to finish it.

Serika · « **Reply #80 on:** August 27, 2009, 09:25:30 pm »

Within walking distance of the hotel is the river, and a fountain is right next to it. I'm looking at you, fellow Legendia cosplayers. It's just a little further distance than our Senel might like to walk, but he can just deal with it because there are boats nearby.

Posiee-chan · « **Reply #81 on:** August 29, 2009, 12:26:08 am »

alrighty, so we missed our chance to get our photoshoot on the list, but we can still have one, obviously. The schedule's out and kirk thornton's panel is on saturday but signing is on sunday. At this point, I don't care which day is which photoshoot, so I guess it's up to you guys. Does anyone have any conflicting events?

I know dragoness and her sister aren't getting there until afternoon on saturday, so maybe we should schedule whichever shoot is on that day for around 4 so they can make it?

Serika · « **Reply #82 on:** August 29, 2009, 02:38:59 am »

Serika · « **Reply #83 on:** August 29, 2009, 03:14:03 pm »

Bumping with another post, um the schedule's on the main site. Poisee-Chan, I suggest if no one else posts their ideas for what day they want, that you just improvise something on the photoshoot thread.

We want to be listed there because it will actually be posted on the info desk so we can gather a few more cosplayers in time! The non-forum goers. Yep.

Posiee-chan · « **Reply #84 on:** August 29, 2009, 04:20:59 pm »

alrighty, I'd like to suggest abyss on saturday at 3 and symphonia sunday at 1 or something along those lines. If no one objects by midnight tonight, I'm just gonna go with that...

xD *Roll*
And Posiee-chan, hm.. maybe? I still want to show off my spear but the deck brush is possible if I can find one in time.

As for the meetups, particularly the Abyss one, I'd suggest sometime in the morning of Saturday? I have the Reborn shoot to go to at 2 so I don't think I'll be able to make an Abyss shoot at 3 but since I was thinking about maybe dropping by the fashion show as Jade in the morning already, having it in the morning would be better for me. Purely personal opinion though.

Oh, I have about everything I need for Dr. Mambo version of Jade too now. ^^ With a working stethoscope too, at that.

Posiee-chan · « **Reply #86 on:** August 30, 2009, 12:23:51 am »

alrighty, well I missed the deadline 'cause I was working on alice *headdesk*

but anyway, morning doesn't work for dragoness and her sister since they won't be there until afternoon. what about evening? we could always switch the days, but the one on saturday will have to be laterish 'cause they're coming to both shoots...

edit: err... I guess someone saw this thread/posted on the photoshoot page 'cause it's up there as 3 and 1... maybe we could change abyss to 4 or 5 and they'd be willing to change it? I have no idea...

The schedule seems to indicate that the Reborn shoot is on sunday at 2, not saturday. So unless you were doing a shoot with a smaller group of friends, it shouldn't be a problem, should it?

I looked at the photoshoot topic, I'm sad because I can't go to the Symphonia gathering on Sunday because of the Harry Potter gathering, but you can still see me and my friends on Saturday as Raine, Genis and Lloyd. We might show up to the Abyss gathering for fun.

Woah. Indeed.
Kumoricon's Sat, Sun, Mon schedule is throwing me off from the usual Fri, Sat, Sun con schedule that I'm used to. I keep thinking day 2 is Sat. My bad. But yes. It shouldn't be a problem then. Thank you for setting me straight. ^^

It's ok. I'm fine with how it turned out. There's no need to change the time.
I'm sure I'm more fail then you, at Anime Boston I made a Touhou Project gathering, and when we got to the con and the gathering started, I didn't know what kind of poses we should do, I forgot which game most of the characters came from, and we stood around doing nothing for 30 minutes or so because I planked out...

Okay, everyone state their prior commitments that they cannot rearrange, and what days it's impossible for them to change in the bathroom or something. This'll help get us somewhere.

I'm not in Abyss or Symphonia cosplay, but Legendia is going to be on Sunday sometime. I don't think we've finalized a schedule for Legendia folks.

Salehthesage · « **Reply #98 on:** September 01, 2009, 12:30:37 am »

I'm good anytime on Sunday as far as I know. I'll look at the schedule and tell you if anything gets in the way of the Legendia shoot.

Jay update: I can't make his neck thing, so I scraped it.

The sewing of the outfit is SO AMAZING though, everyone will be in too much awe to notice.

Posiee-chan · « **Reply #99 on:** September 01, 2009, 02:11:03 am »

ah, damn. well, I dunno. I'd like to be able to include everyone, but do we really want to go changing days around this close to con what with the schedule already out etc.? I mean, I could always offer up my hotel room for people who want to change, but that might get difficult.

I don't have any conflictions, really, it's just that sakana (aska/tokunaga) wants to debut aska on the main con-day (sunday) and last time I didn't know that's what she wanted and she couldn't really show for any of the shoots, which we certainly don't want, since she's frickin' awesome.

I think we planned legendia for sunday night. the masquerade is that night too, though, and I kinda want to be dist to that, so if we're still flexible maybe we could switch it up? or not...
