Pokemon Cosplay 2010

[Griff_the_dragoon]

Griff the Dragoon: Well, i'm figuring that I'll use a black long sleeved shirt with a hood and black pants, and put her markings on by sewing fabric. For the ears I think I'm gonna make them from fabric and stuff them with cotton balls, sewing them to the hoody, same idea for the tail, at the bottom of the shirt. For gloves i'm not quite as sure yet^^'

LOL that is what i did lol
but no gloves i just pu thumb holes in my sleeves and called it good

[~boogiepop~]

Looks like I'm going to be making Sabrina from Heart Gold/Soul Silver for AX, if it goes well I will try and bring it to the Pokemon meetup. I'LL NEED SOME PSYCHIC POKEMON THOUGH~

EDIT: REFERENCE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I SPEAK OF:

BAM! I <3333333 Alakazam soooooo much~

[soundninja12]

YUSH!
What are you doing for the fugging giant bracelets?

Does anyone happen to own a gurney?
I want a few pictures of me with a massive fake needle, and some half-dead pokemon.

Do we have a chansey?

[Seluecos]

this is totally hilarious.

[StarryShay]

Ahh, Sabrina's so cool!~ :'DD
I can't wait to see it Boogie!~

[NightLotus]

I'm making Gardevoir for my sister! So Kaye is going as this Gardevior:


(her forum name is Hawk_Gyrl, but she's not on much)

[~boogiepop~]

@Sound- I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking about making a base out of carboard and putting poster board over that BUT I want to make them actually light up. I'm not sure if I should use reflective tape or actually make circuitry lighting for them. One of the guys in my boyfriends band is an electrical engineer so I'll probably try and talk to him and see what he thinks the best way to go around it would be.

@Brock- WHAT?! WHAT IS THAT ANDREW? YOU ARE GOING TO AX?!?!?!?!?!?! THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY! YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!!!! I thought no one I knew was going to AX, ha ha ha. I actually got scouted into a group that is trying to get all the Kanto and Johto trainers for the Pokemon shoot there. They already have a Brock though D: I'D MUCH RATHER HANG OUT WITH YOU THOUGH BECAUSE YOU ARE WAY COOLER. Yeah, if you wanna try to snag a spot in that group though let me know because there are a crap ton of characters open AND YOU ARE AMAZING.

@Seluecos- HELL YES I SHOULD. I want to make Marsh Badges to give to SWEET ASS TRAINERS as well.

@Starryshay- Yay~~~ I'm excited people are happy for it. When I was little and first got into Pokemon, Sabrina was my fav gym leader. I would make up dumb stories about me training under her to be her predecessor. (I WAS LIKE 11 THOUGH AND RETARDED)

Also the person who is Umebreon, I NEED YOU TO BE MINE

[StarryShay]

Ahh, yeah, my favorite 'human' in Pokemon is Dawn. C:
She's just so cute! x33

Oh, on another note, for celebi I don't know if I should make it to look like the Gijinka, or if I should make my own, girly-er design.
:/
Suggestions?

[StarryShay]

Neeh. :3

[NightLotus]

oh cool!
I think it would look great if you modified the pants into more of a puffy short skirt with a bunch of petticoats and maybe had a light green backless shirt? ^^

[Seluecos]

@nikki: yes that would be sweet

[Griff_the_dragoon]

Ok so I will be doing my Shiny umbreon again this year but i would like to mod it.

[StarryShay]

-Blink blink-

[Seluecos]

I'm with Griff on the whole "Plan Ahead" thing
I need to start my gijinka soon too lol
I think I'll do a dark green sweater with a beige stripe, and dark green sweatpants, then mod some gloves (green as well) and put claws on em. Then I want to make awesome slippers with claws
I plan to go all out and make my first cosplays as awesomely well made as physically possible.

@Griff: you should put LEDs under some thin red plastic, that way when you light em up, it'll light up the plastic, I could help you wire it all and what not too.

[Griff_the_dragoon]

well the leds were for my umbreon but i guess i could try it out on groudon

[soundninja12]

Ok, I only have 1 problem nowadays with nurse Joy.
WIG!
AFAOFESALBASOYIARGAOUTAOGB!

i have absolutely no idea.
that would take forever.

[nekovamp13]

Actually, that wig looks easy. If you'd like help, I'd be glad to lend some! Just provide the wig and I could style it for ya, for just a small price depending how long it actually takes.

Some day! I really wanna do Pokemon...Though, I don't know if I'd be one of the trainers or do a gijinka...

[soundninja12]

It would be great to see you in this group!

I think I can figure it out... if I can't, then I'll PM you... I'm hoping to become the central oregon wiggy person, so that if someone around here needs some wig help, I can provide it. Practice is key!

Gijinka are a lot of fun! ^^ I've been making the pattern for my Gardevior and i'm pretty excited ^^

[CloudStrife32]

I'm not a definite, but if I end up dropping a couple cosplays, I may end up doing Officer Jenny.

I can't believe I didn't even notice there was a Gardevoir for next year. You're officially my new hero.

[My_Decemberling]

[StarryShay]

Awww, Skitty is soooo cute. x33333

Hey, I've been considering going next year as Gary Oak. I've always wanted to cosplay as him.

I even have a little stuffed toy Eevee. I'd love to take some pictures with you guys and whatnot.

I'd love to see a Gary. Having trainers at the Pokeshoots are sooo much fun because they have all kinds of battle pictures with gijinka teams. I still remember last con's Ash and Jirachi. "Jirachi, quick! Use curb stomp!"

I found two good wigs, but I can't decide which I like better, and I could use some opinions. Tell me what you guys think:

Nightmare-chan:
Nice, that does sound like fun.xD I've never done a photoshoot before, but I've heard good things about the Pokemon ones.
And yes, Sukisyo is epically awesome.

NightLotus:
Thanks~

Oh dear lord, I just started using this account after not being on in 4 years. I had no idea that was my signature and that I was that hyper back then. D8

I think you could achieve his spikes better with the second one, but the first wig looks more accurate for color. I don't know...

And no worries, the photoshoots are fun. Last con was my first photoshoot and everyone was very nice and welcoming. :3

Anyone who's actually styled wigs may have a different opinion, but I might go with the second if I were you. The length may be more accurate with a little trimming (or not, whatever would work the best), and the color, as Nightmare has stated, seems to be more accurate.

[Michiyo]

Thanks, I was definitely leaning towards the second wig, since I want to be careful with the length since its my first time actually styling a wig with spikes, plus I've bought from that person before, and they have really nice wigs.

I designed my own Gengar, because i didn't like any of the ones i found.
SPOILER: im totally dying my hair purple for this.
