the official 2010 cosplay progress thread :3

[nyahaha]

finished Kaito's leg straps. I'm gonna wait till tomorrow to do the arm straps because one of them is MIA. and I'm too sleepy to look.

[Kumi-chan]

Finished Ryouga top pattern, cut out and marked everything but the collar fabric. Need sleep.
Putting together the remaining pants and Ryouga's top tomorrow, cutting out Mousse lining and applique, and getting some sewing done on Mousse's robe. Would be nice to at least draft the pattern for the phoenix as well, but we'll see.

Now is really not the time for my sewing machine to start tripling the bobbin thread every single time I try to sew. It used to be every dozen times I went to sew, it'd vomit thread all over me. But now? Every. single. time.

On the plus side, I figured out how to do Toph's hair poofies and just need to do some finishing work on the shirt.

Maybe it needs a little oiling? when mine does that I just give the bobbin rotater thingy a drop of sewing machine oil and it helps a million.

I dunno that we have any sewing machine oil, but I will check. Thank you. >w<

[nyahaha]

The multiple bobbin thing has happened to me a few times, and every time I've just rethreaded the machine and it was fine. I hope you can fix it!!

[meep]

Marill is done! <3

[kit2kit]

Waaah You are so cute *A*

[soundninja12]

Meep:
I LOVE IT *3*

Hamtaro is finished

(I apologize for the second one, I look like I'm attempting to get Laura to feed me >>)

[nyahaha]

SO CUTE!! I'm gonna have to play with the ears when I see it xD

And I am done with all my cosplays!!! now all I have to do is my crochet commissions. But that's easy stuff (I hope)

[Kagome219]

@Katie: Adorable! We're going to have to do a double photo shoot when we meet up~ >w<

@Haley: Congrats! And you said you were worried. d:

Well, Alice cuffs are almost done... Then comes the checkerboard. Kit2kit and I are not sleeping tonight until it's finished. D:<  (@Sky: Yes. Yes you are staying up with me.)

[nyahaha]

Oh I wasn't worried about my cosplay. I was worried about my commissions. But the cosplay one can be postponed till after the con. The girl told me she totally understands and doesn't need it till november.

[~boogiepop~]

WEATHERING MY MACHINE GUNNNN.

It's come alot farther then that since the picture. The little nooks are more gritty, I sanded the glossy black to make it look more worn and the metal is weathered. All that's currently left on this half is the top part where there's a little black and the handle. Then I have to do the other side D:

[oslapedo]

Damn that looks nice!

AND KATIE I ADORE YOUR HAMTARO.

Dropping Yoko for this con so now I'm putting all of my efforts into finishing Envy tonight!

[fleur_fraise]

I re-made my Anri tie, since I had lost it, and I finished my commission from reppy.

Now all I have to do it add a few more details to DWC, and I'm DONE.

Also Osla, if you want, I can do that maid Yoko commission you were interested in after kcon is over. It's pretty simple for me to do, I'm just too rushed for kcon.

[oslapedo]

I sure would be interested in getting it commissioned after KCon!

NIKKI THIS CRAPPY PROGRESS PICTURE IS JUST FOR YOU.



Not pictured are the boots, my wig that I still need to style, and the broken square earrings that I'll need to remake. Also gotta make the top and get some lace for that and the armwarmer glove things and touch everything up.

BUT WOOOO, SCOTT PILGRIMMMU.

[Kagome219]

CUFFS ARE FINISHED! (Except, not spazz proof. D: )  Now time for the evil checkerboard. We will cheat and use hot glue. ;]

[SageBell]

The corpse bride cosplay is nearly finished all I need to do is roll it in some dirt.
Sally is nearly done as well. the visual stiches and one patch are all thats left.

HNNNG DAT ENVY.

[LtCommanderRichie]

@SageBell: don't roll in the dirt, actually bury the dress for a day or so. That will allow the dirt to look like you've been, yanno, interred in a coffin for however long.

I don't even remember how it is I know this works, but it's better than rolling in dirt. You stay moderately clean! Be sure to shake the whole thing out when you un-inter it so there aren't any dirt clumps or other things in it when you wear it.

[Naruchan]

^^ finished boot covers for my Zuko cosplay!

[~boogiepop~]

Oslap <33333 ENVYYYYY

I just pretty much finished Ramona Flowers, I might go buy a different necklace and I need to cut my wig.
(Rollerblades not included at the moment.)

I was upset with the grossness of my bag. Got some advice though and I put some cardboard in it and filled it with plastic bags. It looks tons better now.

I'm planning on making a new bag with what I've learned before Akicon. I can using piping on it next time! NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT PIPING IS AND HOW IT WOULD HAVE MADE MY LIFE EASIER ._.

[lychee-twist]

Boogie, you look awesome! I like the wide stripe on the purse. It's more cartoon-like. Also, the Miria from Baccano! last year is my neighbor, and she was saying how good you looked last year. I thought you might like to know that.

[Kagome219]

Alice and Mio are now complete! All of my cosplays are done! : D  Best of luck to everyone making final touches, and see you at the con~

I WANT SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO MAKE IT NOT LOOK SO GLUED (which it is, but still)

[LtCommanderRichie]

Make what look not so glued? I don't think your image is working.

[fleur_fraise]
