Ok so I am putting off getting Trance done till the summer but I did attach the tail to the bottoms. I just don't want to spend any money on it right now and it will give me something to do in the summer

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #452 on:** December 16, 2009, 11:43:39 am »

Oh...oh god. I'm done with finals. I can finally work on cosplay again!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #453 on:** December 16, 2009, 10:03:28 pm »

Woot, go you!

I think I found a wig I can use for Tiedoll, and I'll eventually start making Maker of Eden like next week at some point. I need to make a pattern for the coat, but the last pattern I made by myself didn't turn out so well. Guess I'll just pattern off an existing coat then.

Felix · « **Reply #454 on:** December 17, 2009, 04:42:22 pm »

I've found that patterning off an existing piece of clothing is probably the easiest way to make a good pattern.

nyahaha · « **Reply #455 on:** December 22, 2009, 02:42:35 pm »

I just shaped 2 tasers for Shion out of Modle magic. waiting for it to dry so I can hot glue silver tips onto the ends. I'm also fixing up the shirt I got for Shion. After that's done, I just have to sew buttons onto the sweatshirt and I'm done with it for Mew.

Sutie · « **Reply #456 on:** December 23, 2009, 11:00:04 am »

^wow, sounds like you're going to get done early. I'll have to find your Shion and capture you with my camera!

nyahaha · « **Reply #457 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:29:15 pm »

well I was xD but I accidentally sewed it on the wrong side so I need to undo it and redo it. I also won't have a sewing machine till saturday. I'll have Mion with me as long as she gets her wig in time. : D

I styled Allen's wig last night, but I messed up so I need to wash it and do it over. I also practiced with his face make up, but I still fail at eyeliner, so I probably wont use it xD

1. Pics, now.
2. I can help you with eyeliner if you want me to, but I'm not the best at it.

Finished the skirt~! I have to steam press the pleats a little more but I'm good besides that. I'm starting on Cassandras shirt right now.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #460 on:** December 23, 2009, 06:51:25 pm »

I guess this is sort f progress but I just got some more YGO cards today that are from my character's deck's. So I'm sort of complete in that aspect. XD

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #461 on:** December 23, 2009, 11:04:40 pm »

I finally found a use for my old Demyx wig~

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #462 on:** December 25, 2009, 08:39:43 pm »

Worked hard today after opening presents and such. I just need to put the zipper in my shirt, fit it, and hem it. I'm considering also drafting out my collar tonight, but I might not.

Sutie · « **Reply #463 on:** December 28, 2009, 06:44:30 am »

Everyone is still working so hard even though the hollidays! I feel so lazy... lol! speaking of lazy, I'm still trying to style my Mugi from K-ON wig. Uhg, I either have too much hair or not enough. This is going to take a while.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #464 on:** December 29, 2009, 09:26:25 am »

Temari is almost done. I make the skirt shorter and gave it a slit and I tightened the shirt up. I also got a wig and that is almost done. All that is left is to make the bow longer

nikkiolie · « **Reply #465 on:** December 29, 2009, 03:43:46 pm »

Wig is just about done, I am very happy with the way it looks :3

All I need to do is get the bangs to lay flat a little more and I am good

I think I may have to cut them as well

nyahaha · « **Reply #466 on:** December 29, 2009, 04:25:51 pm »

that turned out great!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #467 on:** December 29, 2009, 05:17:20 pm »

That's great! You've always made a pretty awesome Temari.

I put bondo on the ankle-disks for my Sound Shackles, gonna sand them tomorrow and put another coat on, then put the crosses on and paint.

This is what I'm making~

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #468 on:** December 29, 2009, 05:41:54 pm »

Got the lining for the my Yae kimono almost done; starting on the bridal satin top fabric, then I'll sew them together and make the sleeves and obi, add the sleeves and then I'll be done ^^

... Except the wig, still need that.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #469 on:** December 29, 2009, 11:58:50 pm »

BAH SMALL THINGS.

I'm such a detail freak which is both good and bad.

Good because I make it but bad because a shake like a mother flippin'...yeah.
Not to my liking my it will do. I'm hoping that they are small enough that it won't matter what they look like. Broach is about the size of a quarter and you can tell the size of the headband stuff. Gotta make the wing thing for the other side now.

Also been working on Nightie Bridget, though it is nowhere near presentable. I'm hoping to finish fitting it tomorrow and start painting the cross.

oslapedo · « **Reply #470 on:** December 30, 2009, 12:20:12 am »

I like the headband yo.

Magnet headphones... I don't wanna talk about it.

My parent had the best idea ever.
Candace (Phineas and Ferb) Has this awkward looking bump in her hair, and I've been trying to figure out how to make a wig do that for months now.
You know those things that are advertised on TV all the time?
They would be PERFECT to do that.
Yes, they actually have a use other than making you look stupid xD

Great minds think alike?
Personally, I think that they just make your head look big
Anime and game characters have big heads though, so it all works out xD

tofutakeout · « **Reply #474 on:** December 30, 2009, 11:08:51 pm »

I wish I had photo's to post but my camera is being retarded and doesn't really like to turn on. Using my DSi for everything is starting to get really irritating.

Seto Kaiba-40% complete. I need to make the arm straps for the pants and shirt, make/buy the belt, get some new pants(my old ones died ;A;) and make the jacket entirely. The jacket btw is partially assembled.

Magnet Luka-80% complete. I just need the headphones at this point. -_-

Lock-5% complete. SO. MUCH. RED. I have nothing for him yet. :< Except for a red shirt.

Dark Signer Misty-5% complete. So I have most of the material for this. I just need to cut and assemble it. But I have time. ^_^

Rolf-45% complete. I need the shirt and hair. And possibly a tan, but I have time to fix that. ;3

@Nukka
DUDE, YOUR SKILL WITH DETAIL ASTOUNDS ME AND I LOVE IT LOTS. I like to be detailed but I screw up because I go to fast. But I'm better at it then massive amounts of sewing. Sewing machines hate me. :<

nyahaha · « **Reply #475 on:** December 30, 2009, 11:32:08 pm »

Just finished the base of Timcanpy and put one layer of gold paint on him. I didn't give him little feet though because I was too lazy xD. I also made a makeshift badge made of clay for Allen. The one that I ordered hasn't come yet.The pieces for Allen's shoes are all cut out, too. I also fixed Shion's shirt today. I'll finish everything tomorrow and then I'll be ready for MEW on Friday!

what I have left to do.
Allen: Put pin on back of badge, and hot glue a few places. Fix a hemming mistake on the coat. Sew 2 more silver buttons on. Sew shoe pieces together, then onto the base shoe. Finish Tim.

Timcanpy: another layer of gold. paint front cross thingy. test different clips and put one on. cut out wings and tail and glue them on.

Shion: glue on tip of gun. draw on Tazers. fix holster for gun.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #476 on:** December 31, 2009, 02:00:12 am »

The main cosplay for Yae is done, for the most part. All I need is the tabi socks, zori or geta shoes, and the wig.

Did you know that there are actually six other pieces to an obi besides the obi itself? date-jime, obi-ita, obi-jime, etc. The function of most of them is extinguished by a dickey in newer kimono patterns, but I make mine traditionally. xD

NightLotus · « **Reply #477 on:** December 31, 2009, 02:55:48 am »

I JUST ADDED ANOTHER COSPLAY T^T
my overall progress effectively shot backwards ;;>_>
ordered a bunch of stuff, restocking my paypal account by about the 6th... I'll have some awesome photos up shortly after that ^^
oh i loves me some christmas cash

soundninja12 · « **Reply #478 on:** December 31, 2009, 10:54:19 am »

Got a hat for Nico Robin
I'm going to steam it so the edges are bent up, and then I'm getting some white leather string to stitch around the edges.
Buying a belt for N. Italy the next time I go shopping.
I'm going to start ordering boots and wigs Dx

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #479 on:** December 31, 2009, 12:17:16 pm »

I should probably order what wigs I need for Sakuracon soon, shouldn't I...? Eh, it's just Tiedoll. I'll figure it out.

Changed my mind, I'm going to get this weird rope thing and force it to work =3=

NightLotus · « **Reply #481 on:** December 31, 2009, 05:26:10 pm »

so quickly before i shop and stuff... For Meg from Burst Angel... I can't decided what color the lacing on her shorts is supposed to be... I was thinking white.. but i have so many other source images.
also the blue on the top is different ><

I'm thinking of doing the one with white on the top NOT blue, and Red laces... is that accurate?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #482 on:** December 31, 2009, 06:06:33 pm »

Well it looks to me like the art is white and blue with the red ties. When in doubt, go with the art.

NightLotus · « **Reply #483 on:** December 31, 2009, 06:08:22 pm »

ah, right ^^ that makes sense
thanks

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #484 on:** December 31, 2009, 06:19:52 pm »

Well I finished the base for my Nightie Bridget

It really looks like nothing at the moment but it was a bit of a problem for me. I'm kinda curvy and it's hard to make it look like I'm not without looking fat >: I WILL ONLY DO THIS FOR BRIDGET. I'm never crossplaying again, haha.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #485 on:** January 01, 2010, 06:06:11 pm »

SUDDENLY, depression. I no longer wish to cosplay at all.

This feeling should be gone by noon tomorrow.

It's pretty much gone by now, but I slept through noon and woke up at 4 so there's no point in dragging things out today.

I FINISHED MY LUCA SKIRT! ^^ (THERE IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH ASS AT KUMO NEXT YEAR)
here's an ok picture:

JUST BTW I WILL BE WEARING MY SPANDEX UNDER THIS. ITS WAY TO SMALL ;;>_>

also: does anyone know a way to keep the pink corners from turning up? >< they keep doing that ;;>_>

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #489 on:** January 04, 2010, 02:29:04 pm »

Interfacing should keep them stiff.

I've started to put together my May Lee Belt, it hooks in the back, so I can make the massive belt buckle.
Any advice on what to make it with?

Dubaby · « **Reply #492 on:** January 04, 2010, 09:39:41 pm »

Went to JoAnns and bought some new fabric for my Marie (Soul Eater) cosplay since the old materials I have aren't looking as nice as when I first bought them (that's what happens when you put cosplays off for over a year.) Anywho it'll give me a chance to experiment with my new awesome fabric glue on my old scraps before I finally start on the final product. =]

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #493 on:** January 05, 2010, 12:04:50 am »

So working on my shirt. It's looking pretty good so far but I've run into a couple problems (Sorry the picture are slightly large, I don't have photoshop on my computer again yet)

My big problem is those gross wrinkles that can be seen under my arm and above the belt in picture 2 (sorry it's kinda blurry). This is caused from it being too tight correct? If so I'll probably take it out a 1/4th of an inch or so on each side to loosen it. If not what would be the cause of it and how do I fix it? There's also some bubbling from the interfacing that is happening on the left side that I need to rip out and readjust. Besides that all that's left is putting in the zipper nicer, hemming it, and adding a hook and eye. Oh, and some much needed ironing.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #494 on:** January 05, 2010, 10:49:58 am »

Double post. Went ahead and ordered a bunch of my Sakuracon items :B I got some new shoes for Miria, two bottles of leather paint (Red and Purple), another pattern to help base B.Jenet off of, and Purple string bikini panties for her. I'm going to be ordering wigs in the middle of the month (From Cyperous! If you want in on group shipping let me know) so all that will be left to buy in February will be B. Jenets shoes, dancer tights, and possibly a new wig for Cassandra if Mei Long can't cut it up all nice for me.

Sutie · « **Reply #495 on:** January 05, 2010, 07:32:08 pm »

Gah! It's true! Gotta get all ordering done this month for any Sakuracon plans.

@Boogie: how much does shipping usually go for on Cyperous? They have a really nice wig that will be perfect for my Holo cosplay.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #496 on:** January 05, 2010, 07:42:37 pm »

I got all my costumes decided on? Does that count? LOL.

Unfortunately, haven't had time to start anything as it's a busy time at work. (First part of January + inventory business = yeah....)

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #499 on:** January 05, 2010, 08:48:58 pm »

@Sutie- $30 no matter how much you order. That's why I'm trying to get people in on the order so it doesn't cost as much. Two including myself are in so far, and one is a maybe.
