[Cosplay Group] New Days Dawning - DISBANDED

[oslapedo]

I think TK's hair is dirty/sandy blonde~

Kameko said she'd help me too and she has a sewing machine... I'll figure it out

[Romo]

and I have a question about Tk's hair.
is it blonde with brown or just blonde? X}

I agree with Sahara, it's definately a brownish-blonde. So it's not too light, but not dark. Confusing but that's T.K for ya.~

[iluvshijimi]

Woot, since everyone's looking into wigs earlier, I looked around for a short-ish brown wig that'd be spike-able for Tai. I think I'm just going to use this Kingdom Hearts Sora wig and style it up:

A longer wig seems more true to the character, but I don't want it to look like huge DBZ Goku hair, so I'll probably just go with this.

Oooh okay.

but I think it's way to blonde then...^^;

[oslapedo]

@ Sam, I really like that for Tai!

@ Melon, That wig could wor since it's not platinum blond or anything. cosplaywig wigs are always really good quality too~

Well actually, I think it'd be okay to use that one...

okay yay
then that's the wig I'll be getting

@sam
that's a good tai wig ! with more styling and stuff it
could work

[iluvshijimi]

@sam
that's a good tai wig ! :D with more styling and stuff it
could work

Yup! No need to worry about the long-ish bangs or anything, they'll be covered up with the headband and goggles~

[Romo]

@Vivian

I think that wig is okay. It's not platinum blonde so, you know, it's pretty good. I just tried looking for other wigs that could for T.K and I found none that were quite right, and the one you linked was better than those that I looked through so I say if you want to buy that one then go for it!

@Sam

I like the looks of that wig for a Tai wig too. Like you said, we're not DBZ characters so there's not need to have super saiyan hair (even if you comment on mine in the skit xD).

[IcyMelon]

@sam

yep yep

(random: ooh~! your cosplaying as japan? I was going to too XD and korea, and maybe england or russia X})

@alyssa
okay I'll buy that wig ! :DD

[iluvshijimi]

@Sam

I like the looks of that wig for a Tai wig too. Like you said, we're not DBZ characters so there's not need to have super saiyan hair (even if you comment on mine in the skit xD).

Haha, I can't wait to practice our skit!

@ Vivian

I'm HOPING to cosplay as Japan, don't know if it'll happen soon, but it will eventually, lol. I will be doing America and England in the future, but I'm not tall enough to do Russia, haha~ [/offtopic]

[IcyMelon]

@sam
I can't wait either X}
maybe we'll all have our wigs by then C:


(offtopic)I'm tall enough for russia but I love the outfit
so maybe I'll wear like 5 inch boots XD
I also like Iceland's outfit x}}

[Romo]

That'd be funny. If we all had either our outfit and no wig or our wig and no outfit by the time the meeting happens. I'd have to take a picture and put 'Mix and Match?~' next to it. xD;

[oslapedo]

Hm... I might be totally done with my cosplay by then if I really work at it >D

[iluvshijimi]

Hm... I might be totally done with my cosplay by then if I really work at it >D

NICE. I think most of us will be able to show up with our wigs, haha~ At least we'll be in character!

[IcyMelon]

@oslapedo
I might be able to finish mine too if I work hard on it X}

@sam
Yes we would be in character 

[Romo]

Okay I just want to ask this, even though some of you have given me your opinion I just want to make sure, that this is a good base for my Matt wig. It was reccomended to me by two really good cosplayers but since I have trouble with wigs I don't know if it'll work or not, for me anyway. So give me your opinion please!!

http://www.amphigory.com/wigs_punky.html

And if you think it wouldn't work, any suggestions for bases? I'm always looking for new ideas!

[oslapedo]

Yeah, I like it Romo~

I think I'll probably just commission Mimi's shawl and dress from someone

[iluvshijimi]

And if you think it wouldn't work, any suggestions for bases? I'm always looking for new ideas!

Um, I wouldn't use that as a base because it's so long and you'd have to cut off a substantial amount of the length. The "spikes" at the top also aren't thick enough for Matt's style, so I wouldn't recommend it.

I would suggest either of these two wigs as the base, and then just hairspray and silicone gel it up.

[Romo]

Ironically the second of those two wigs was reccomended to me by Nikki. xD And I was thinking about using a Ken J. one but wasn't sure. Thanks for helping me figure that out Sam! I was pretty sure I'd look into a shorter one but just wanted a second opinion.~

[IcyMelon]

I agree with sam. that wig is kinda long and the one she suggested
would be easier to work with

also do we need to get the tag crests and the digivice?

[Kagome219]

Ugh. Why so many replies?! Dx

[oslapedo]

What are tag crests? =,D

Ugh. Why so many replies?! Dx

Because we're just that awesome! Mostly we've just been talking about wigs, our meetup July 11th, and the possibilty of cosplaying .hack//G.U. next year~

[Kagome219]

Thank you for the catch-up. -.-;;
July 11th sounds good as of now.
And hurray for.hack//! : D

[IcyMelon]

What are tag crests? =,D


I was on ebay and there was this tag crest thing and I think it's for the
digivice...^^;

Ahaha, no problem, just know that I call Natsume or Shino!

@ Melon-chan, Those look flippin sweet! Should we try making our own?

I think we should kagome :DD
and look at this video I found on youtube !
I love there dance  >u<
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ViATnGuleg&feature=related
they did a great job !

[iluvshijimi]

also do we need to get the tag crests and the digivice?

Dana-chan should be making our Digivices (I still feel bad Dana-chan, you should bring your materials to the meet so we can all work on them together! >.<) but I don't know about the crests. If everyone in the group wants to wear those too I guess we could~ I would probably buy mine off eBay though, 'cuz I couldn't make it as nice as those, haha.

@ Elie-chan

The meet on July 11th will be a work day at my house in Gresham, will that work for you?

The .hack//G.U. characters held on reserve are:
- Haseo (iluvshijimi)
- Atoli (IcyMelon)
- Silabus (Romo)
- Natsume (oslapedo)
- Aina (Kagome219)

Though I must remind everyone that we won't be officially voting for next year's theme until after K-Con in September.

[oslapedo]

We're so over-prepared

[iluvshijimi]

It's better than being under-prepared!

[IcyMelon]

Ooh okay
Dana-chan your too awesome ! and you should teach us how to make ours at the meet-up ! X}}}

yep yep under-prepared is not good XD

[oslapedo]

That's true! Sam, you can just put me down for Natsume~<3

My youtube doesn't really work so I couldn't click Melon-chan's link. We'll be just as super amazing as that Digimon group after we practice! 8~D

[iluvshijimi]

I really wish I started this group sooner, so that we would've had more time to have more meetings and stuff like that, but if I did, I probably wouldn't have met Romo (I didn't have a Cosplay.com account to meet her until now) and all our wonderful members! Thanks for being here you guys~ I'm really looking forward to having an awesome Digimon group for the con, as well as continuing our heroic work for K-Con 2010!

[IcyMelon]

That's true! Sam, you can just put me down for Natsume~<3

My youtube doesn't really work so I couldn't click Melon-chan's link. We'll be just as super amazing as that Digimon group after we practice! 8~D

Oh darn :C
there dance is so awesome ! X}}
there also in digimon cosplay like us.
(link again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ViATnGuleg&feature=related )

@sam
and our members are all awesome ! :DDD
and thank for making this group !

[oslapedo]

It's okay, we'll have plenty of meetings next year in addition to the ones we can fit in for this KCon~!

I <3 our group~

[IcyMelon]

I <3 our group~

so true !
and I love our group too >u<

[iluvshijimi]

Hmm, the more I keep watching that Digimon Dance from Anime Expo '08, it makes me want our group to do a longer dance... The Fit's dance is 30 seconds to a minute. I'm starting to think a lengthier performance would be better?

Edit: The Izzy in that same dance video also seems to be carrying what looks like a styrofoam or cardboard laptop. Perhaps we could just do that for our Izzy?

[Kagome219]

I think the date would work. As of now. Family plans might change.
So the Digivices...? I say we use the crests. I like those and they're cheap. : D
Also... how did you guys decide on .hack//GU instead of .hack//Legend of the Twilight or ROOTS?

[oslapedo]

I noticed that Romo was already cosplaying it and I spazzed because .hack//G.U. is my favorite game and I've always wanted to cosplay from it <3 And then everyone started doing dibs

[Kagome219]

Ah, okay. xB
Could I possibly do Aina or Shino? Even though they're parts aren't that big? xD

[oslapedo]

OMG AINA WOULD BE SO EFFIN SWEET

I want an Ovan~<333

Same here! I think there dance is really unique !
and  a lengthier performance would be better

I'm going to ask everyone to confirm near the beginning of July to make sure that we can all make it on the 11th. If you find out earlier that you can't make it, then please let us know! We'll probably have to reschedule again because we REALLY need all the members for this.

Dana-chan is already making Digivices, so everyone will have one. If we want to wear tags and crests as well, I think we'd have to vote because everyone would need to wear one for the sake of matching.

I will also put you down for Aina or Shino~

@ Vivian

I'm going to look at some good dance songs today. We can probably work out the choreography at the meet~

[IcyMelon]

@sam
I vote for tags ! X}
and okay if you need help for song looking I will
be glad to help you C:

[iluvshijimi]

VOTE: Should we wear the tags+crests? Yes: 2/No: 0

I vote yes as well~ Another Digimon accessory idea that's been going around is carrying our corresponding Digimon plushies? What did you guys think about that? It's another accessory that if we decide to go with it, everyone will have to comply.

And please! It'd be great if we could all keep an eye out for good songs for the dance, but try to check if they've been used first. I'd rather not do a song that's been done by too many other groups, it just makes us look like we're copying.

[IcyMelon]

And I don't know about the plushies. It'd be awesome if
we had them but I don't know about some people
with the money issue...

[iluvshijimi]

I agree, I'm not sure if everyone will be able to afford them since they cost more than the tags+crests.

(Also, congratulations on 100 posts! xD)

[Kagome219]

Okay. I'll be sure to let you know. ^^
OH! That's so cool. : D  What is she making them out of? *having trouble finding the post*
Also, I think I will do Aina. >.o
And my friend has a Gatomon plushie she is willing to let me use. : D

[IcyMelon]

yep yep. so I guess I could have to say no. (unless we find keep ones)

(and thank you XDD)

I'm not sure what's she's making them out of, it looks like clay or something? Here's the image:



Got you down for Aina~

PLUSHIE VOTE! Yes: 1/No: 2
