[bunny_jean]

I dunno why my post didn't show up arg. Well anywho im panda axel and i just found this thread haha. Im comming good on my progress of my Halloween town Axel. I gots preety much all the fixings done just gotta do my fangs, the mask, and finish my second Halloween town Chakram. I need someone to tell me how to attach or insert and image on here. Im kinda new haha.

You have to upload a picture to photobucket or flickr so it has a URL, then use the Insert picture button (gives you the code ) and you put the url inbetween. It's exactly like Gaia if you're on there.

the easiest way to do boots: make boot covers then attach them onto shoes (like flip flops)

Oooh. I don't play many video games. XD

[fleur_fraise]

Haha well I've always wanted RHS anyways, since I first got into lolita. DWC was a good excuse to get a pair. I ordered them from Bodyline, so I'll write a review for egl soon.

Lolz. Definitely a good excuse. Btw, I just don't understand Vocaloid... Like... Isn't it just a music making program? Or what? I don't know where all the characters come from or if there's a story. XP Seems kinda silly to me.

Well Vocaloid (And Vocaloid 2, etc) is a voice editing program. Japan, being Japan, gave each available voice a persona. People who use the program to make songs will sometimes make music videos to go along with them using the personas as characters. A lot of the songs have stories to go along with them, like the one I'm cosplaying from, Dark Woods Circus.

I see. That makes sense. My roomie showed me Dark Woods Circus a little while ago, along with a couple other videos like it (she likes cute creepy things). lol thankies my dear

[ichigo_m.]

I finished most of Kamina's cape a couple days ago. All that's left is aging then the gold connector/strap/whatchamahoodit~

Looks sweeeeeet. Are the skull and flames just ironed on? I find that appliques like that look best if they're also stitched down (with a small zig zag stitch). :3

[LtCommanderRichie]

Sogyo no Kotowari's sealed form is done. Have some pictures.

[~boogiepop~]

If you made that sword Richie I'm impressed.

Here's RAMONA FLOOOOOOWWERRRRSSSSS so far. I still have a lot to do. But I'm hoping to have the shirt and shorts done tonight. Then the bag tomorrow so I can be completely finished~

Scott just needs his wig cut a little and his sword painted.

[nyahaha]

today I found a really cool belt at a garage sale that I'll use for another strap on Kaito, I bought some clasps and webbing for the leg straps. Tomorrow, I'm going back to joanns to get all the clip buckles I need, yarn for commissions and ribbon for roses.

[LtCommanderRichie]

No, just the tsuba and tsuka-ito. I bought the sword on eBay. Made completely of wood, and as such is relatively consafe!

[nyahaha]

woo! CIRNO IS DONE!!!

I'm wea

[PaperRoxas]

more rikku progress

[lychee-twist]

I have the armature done for the Moon Kaleidoscope. I haven't made one of these in about eight years I would say. It's already looking a lot better than what I made when I was a kid. Haha.

[raiyna_chan]

[Washougal_Otaku]

Well, it looks like I'll be finding out about my cosplay this Tuesday.

[~boogiepop~]

Boyfriend started our Cave Story headphone/ear things today. Gonna sand 'em tomorrow and add more apoxie sculpt.

Ramona's bat is almost done. I have to go over the word in black again, then seal it and add the tape.

Scott's sword, we started painting it and there's cracks all over it. We're gonna have to modge podge in them, sand it and paint it again. Right now I'm working on Ramona's shorts, I finished the shirt last night.

Lol I haven't been involved with gaia for a couple years, but I'm trying to sell all my crap to see how much my account was worth. XD I'm at like, 13 mill now.

[meep]

99% DONE
must.go.buy.white.flip.flops.

UHHHH THIS IS TOTALLY MY SECOND FAV COSTUME I HAVE EVER MADE

[PaperRoxas]

awesome meep!!

[bunny_jean]

Looks fab! :DD

[LtCommanderRichie]

Well aren't you positively adorable.

I've got ten arrows with paint on them drying in the garage. Pics when I get them on my cloak.

[Hashi]

I stalk this thread but I havnt really posted anything. Soo..


This is my my Jet armor. I still need to distress it a bit but its mostly done!

[LtCommanderRichie]

Apparently my cloak and plastic coat hangars are non-mixy substances. I took my cloak off the clothes rack to bring it out to put arrows on it, and the hangar snapped. Two arrows broke on the collar when it hit the ground but they're fixed now and will not be coming undone any time soon.



My inner monologue has developed a very British accent. I don't know if I should be concerned or not.

Thirty arrows left to go.

[Kimiski]

Finally~ My wand is DONE.

[lychee-twist]

Hashi, I am very excited for your cosplay. Very excited.

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

I finally made Sasuko's gloves~
And I painted my nails black to try and get in the Sasuko mood. |D

[oslapedo]

THOSE GLOVES ARE AWESOME. Did you freeball it or use a pattern?

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

^^ Thanks!
Totally freeballed 'em. |D
They are a bit loose on the hands as you can kind of see in the picture but it's so I can freely move my hands and bend my wrists in any direction without being hindered by the fabric.

I Like The Attitude. The gLoves Are Rocking.

[bunny_jean]

Oh man, I'm so excited for everyone's progress this weekend! :DDD

My update: Have all the pieces for my Hawkeye jacket cut out (except the interfacing). Need to iron on the interfacing and zig zag around the pieces before I can start sewing them together. My boyfriend finally came back from his trip so I can get to work on his Mustang hip cape now that I know his pants fit. Also got the last bit of detail materials I should need at Joann's today! Glad that I shouldn't have to go to the fabric store again for these projects. lol

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

I started on my shoes!
Sadly, I only got the top of the flip flops covered in black fabric and the front strap.
My mom went to bed early (curse her!!!) so I couldn't do anymore.
However! They will be finished tomorrow and I will finish my skirt thing as well.
And I got some rope that I will possibly be able to use. I just gotta dye it purple or put purple cloth around it or something.


Ish - I like how they match what I am wearing. XD

[PaperRoxas]

yay! i didn't do anything today lol instead i spent it with my boyfriend

[Mei Long]

My inner monologue has developed a very British accent. I don't know if I should be concerned or not.

Thirty arrows left to go.

Nah, I wouldn't worry about the new accent. Mine have never developed an accent, per say, but it never hurts to broaden one's horizons! This includes inner monologues.

Meanwhile, your work continues to be awe-inspiring! <3

[bunny_jean]

yay! i didn't do anything today lol instead i spent it with my boyfriend

Lol I don't blame you. That's pretty much all I've been doing this weekend. <3

[PaperRoxas]

Lol I don't blame you. That's pretty much all I've been doing this weekend. <3

lol you need at least 1  rest day a week we've you've been working on cosplays for a month...and he was gone for 2 weeks!!!

[veraca]

*dances around* Oh yeaaah oh yeaaah
Finished my shield FINALLY!

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

I just "braided" my rope up.
Which is actually just twisting it together to get the right look. |D
Now I have to buy some purple dye and pray this rope dyes. I just randomly found it in the garage while looking for a hot glue gun to make my shoes.
It's the perfect length (aka: long as hell) and width and everything. I just hope the dye will hold and the ends will fray like I want them to...

[PaperRoxas]

*dances around* Oh yeaaah oh yeaaah
Finished my shield FINALLY!
