it looks slightly duller after just one washing, if I washed to fabric in warm water a few times, would that be harmful to the fabric at all? (still new to working with fabric)
I also got some tan liquid dye, just in case.

EDIT: okay so I tested the color lightener on some scraps and rather than fading the color, it acted more like bleach and left golden specks everywhere (I used a very small amount of the powder in the box)

I'm just gonna have to go with what I have, at least for practice if anything. This fabric is leftover from what I used for our school play so I'm getting reimbursed for the money, so basically it was free. I'll go ahead and make a jacket and hat, if the color doesn't work out/I screw up, then I'll just have to start over with something else

Mei Long · « **Reply #151 on:** April 02, 2010, 01:43:44 am »

The fabric should be safe to wash a few more times to fade it as long as it's not dry clean only. I dunno if Nylon is or isn't.

Also, if you use the tan dye I suggest using a fraction of it to tint the fabric.

And hey, if worse comes to wear you can do just that - wear the threads to look more like hers! Sometimes clothes just need a little love to get them that extra mile.

Just a theory though. Hahaha.

Fun side note: I have tried posting in this thread three times between now and yesterday and every single time my net died before I could post. FUN! XD

So I've been working with some furniture vinyl that I think would be perfect to make Kyle's holsters out of. I think I may force him to take me back to fabric depot to get some more so I can start on those (seriously so nice it would probably take me 3 hours to make them after I pattern them out).

Also Ren needs to get over here so we can cut my wigs yo

Trumby · « **Reply #153 on:** April 06, 2010, 12:36:44 pm »

I think I might actually make a knife for kcon. I totally need a prop to pose with <.<

Also I should be finding out what weekends I have to work here soon Nikki so I'll let you know when I am free to come hang out and get mah wigz

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #154 on:** April 06, 2010, 01:02:49 pm »

Sounds good! Just let me know. Chill time needs to be had. ALSO ANTHONY YOU SHOULD SCAN EVERY PAGE OF THAT BOOK IF I DON'T FIND IT AT UWAJI'S TODAY!

Mei Long · « **Reply #155 on:** April 06, 2010, 07:52:45 pm »

Hahahaha, yo Nikki, think we'll actually get those cut this weekend? Second we get back from the festival it's you and me.

And what book?

I suddenly wonder if Uwajimaya has the Baccano! artbook... Hmmmmmmm.... Might have to check that out this weekend. >>

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #156 on:** April 06, 2010, 08:33:43 pm »

That's what I'm going to check out too

And yay wigs

Do you have a straightener or curling iron too?

Trumby · « **Reply #157 on:** April 07, 2010, 12:00:02 am »

Haha yeah Ren, I bought the Baccano! artbook from Kinokuniya at Sak..for $50 <.< But it is so awesome.

And I already told you, silly, I don't have a scanner!

Mei Long · « **Reply #158 on:** April 07, 2010, 03:48:40 pm »

Nikki - I have a straightener but no curling iron.

Anthony - $50 dollars is better than I can find on the net... So tempted... This will need a good bit of thought.

aka: Fighting off the urge to say screw all other financial investments in my life and just buy it. Hahahaha!

And if it's not at the store maybe it'll be at Kumoricon. @_@

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #159 on:** April 07, 2010, 05:31:56 pm »

Oh, I have two curling irons I would be willing to lend you guys. One is bigger and one is smaller.

Also I'm not sure if I really want to do Eve anymore. I'm not super pumped about the costume, and I'd have to go buy special fabric they don't sell at Joann's, and I'd have to buy and style a fancy wig. Overall it seems expensive without being worth it.
Plus Eve is in like three episodes, I'm not sure people would even recognize me.
If you guys really want me to, I'll cosplay her, but otherwise I think I'll drop her.

Mei Long · « **Reply #160 on:** April 07, 2010, 08:39:53 pm »

That'd be wonderful if we could borrow them, Katie. =) Nikki, that sound cool?

And I always thought Eve was an important part of the story... but then I always see that final scene of hers fishing Dallas and his crew outta the river as being a huge OMGTHAT'SWHATITMEANS because we never knew what they were doing there until the end and it was another huge wrap up moment for me.

I totally understand not being psyched about a costume anymore though. I'm going through that with a couple of mine.

Cosplay isn't everything - I personally don't think there should be any pressure to do so. It's your call. =)

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #161 on:** April 07, 2010, 09:58:10 pm »

That'd be really cool Katie

And Eve is completely up to you. I'd love it if you did it but I'd hate it if you made it when you didn't want to.

Trumby · « **Reply #162 on:** April 08, 2010, 11:55:11 am »

I agree with both of them, while it'd be super awesome to have you do Eve, it's not the end of the world if you don't do it. People drop costumes all the time, not a big deal.

@Ren: Ah, dang, really? Here I thought $50 was a lot o.o

*edit* I found scans of an older artbook with all the character design sketches in it. Kinda neat

Mei Long · « **Reply #163 on:** April 08, 2010, 03:29:42 pm »

Share the love, man, share the scans!

Is this artbook you guys are talking about from 2009? 'Cause that's the one I've seen around. Goes for like, $60 - $90+.

Trumby · « **Reply #164 on:** April 09, 2010, 12:37:22 am »

This listing is over, but it is this book: http://cgi.ebay.com/Enamikatsumi-Illustration-:-BACCANO-Art-Book-JAPAN_W0QQitemZ370352481857QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20100322?IMSfp=TL1003221610006r7214

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #167 on:** April 24, 2010, 08:19:11 pm »

This thread has been dead for a little while. I shall revive it~

By saying this, after much debate amongst myself I have finnaly chosen a Baccano! character to cosplay.
So far I havent seen anyone cosplay him....and he's quite unpopular but I wish to do him either way~
I have chosen Tic! Or um...Chic....he has many names he goes by. D:

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #168 on:** April 24, 2010, 08:35:49 pm »

OH MY GOD TIC :OOOOOO

Also, I'd like it if everyone who's still cosplaying from Baccano! posts and like gives a Yay/Nay/Maybe so I can update the front list.

I also just vouched for everyone currently in my house :B

I'll try not to I swear! :0
But on a lighter side of the subject....I finnaly found a nice affordable wig for Tic that I can style. And it's yellow like his hair~ Huuuur~ < 3

soundninja12 · « **Reply #180 on:** April 25, 2010, 04:24:27 pm »

Okay, I should order my Nick wig soon, so I can finish my Nick... I also need his pants... and suspenders... and shirt...
I do have his coat and shoes though =D

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #181 on:** April 25, 2010, 04:27:09 pm »

*just realized he has facial hair*
Anyone know where to find a goatee?

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #183 on:** April 25, 2010, 04:39:46 pm »

Um maybe you could find some Crepe Hair? 8'D
Or look at some cosplay sites. They have some of that um...fake stick on stuff. :0

soundninja12 · « **Reply #184 on:** April 25, 2010, 04:40:39 pm »

I could always talk to Tommy (Jack Sparrow) and he could tell me he got his~

Just to be on the safe side by "yellow" I hope you mean a good variation of blonde. Yellow hair rarely looks good in real life. x_x

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #187 on:** April 25, 2010, 09:42:44 pm »

@Mei:
Ah now that you think about it blonde would be a better choice for Tic then an actual yellow like his hair is. :0
I shall search for a different colored wig. > u <

Mei Long · « **Reply #193 on:** April 27, 2010, 02:27:37 pm »

M'kay, well, the initial thing I'm worried about is achieving that "pulled back" look with a wig and not having the wigline show. =/ Ya might wanna try experimenting with that and see where it gets ya. If we can tackle that it looks like simple styling (may need to be straightened a tad).

It might be easier too to go with the looser style we see in-anime as opposed to the still art...

VS.

What d'ya think?

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #194 on:** April 27, 2010, 06:02:30 pm »

I defiantly agree with ren to go with a style more like the anime. If you want to do whats going on in the first picture you are going to have to buy matching wefts and sew them in the wig....it won't be fun and won't look very good I think. I think with a bit of styling gel you should be able to get it to look good, but Ren's more of a wig master then me.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #195 on:** April 27, 2010, 07:28:54 pm »

What I was thinking was that we could try that artificial hairline tutorial that's floating around. The wig is probably a lot longer than needed, so we could cut some hair off the bottom, behind the first layer of hair.
And/or we could do a looser pulled back, although the bangs aren't super long and I was planning on just geling/hairspraying them back.

Dubaby · « **Reply #196 on:** April 27, 2010, 08:47:20 pm »

I am for sure doing Chane for Kumoricon.... I'll ask my friends some time soon if they are planning on Lua and Ennis.

That is sweet and unfounded. XD

Katie - I've rarely dealt with styling products but I think geling/hairspraying the hair back would be a poor choice. That would look highly unnatural for a young girl of that time period to do and sprayed wigs to stay in place... well, 96% of them look bad (from what I've seen).

And I know what artifical hairline tutorial you're talking about. It's cool and all but I'm curious - why do ya wanna do the super pulled back look?

As far as the bangs being too short - they look fine to me from the picture you provided. If not then a little creative cutting may help camoflauge that. It'd be a lot easier and a lot less complicated than creating a false hairline.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #199 on:** April 28, 2010, 03:32:52 pm »

Oh, I meant gel/hairspray just to keep them in place, because I thought they might be too short. Not like slicked back, that would look weird.
Anyways I thought the hairline would be good since the wig's hairline is a bit obvious, and I have a short forehead, which would make it worse. Also you can see Eve's hairline.

But if you think we can do it without any fancy styling, that's definitely good to me! The less chance of a horrible mistake, the better.
