Damn I've sure i missed alot with being gone. Oh yeah Kim cosplay is done!!!

@katie
Just finished episode 3

it's pretty sweet.

anyone got links for where to watch it?
I can only find the first 3 episodes

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #355 on:** January 22, 2010, 05:32:05 pm »

Only three episodes are out so far.

And Yay!!!! Post pictures Andrew!

Mei Long · « **Reply #356 on:** January 22, 2010, 06:04:03 pm »

So, I can't figure out who I love more: Shizuo, Izaya, or Simon... But I DO know I am the most in love when a combo of the three of them are in the same shot. Especially fighting. Ho ****. Ep 3.............. So goooooooooooooooood.........

Though, I'm 58% convinced there isn't a character I can cosplay from this. Bummer. Still love it though and will continue to obsessively save pictures from it.

I'm blame Nikki and Ai for this habit. They're both obsessive picture hoarders.

shanime_panda · « **Reply #357 on:** January 22, 2010, 06:37:05 pm »

Ren: you could totally be Mikado or Izuya =]

if this turns out to be a character I will totally do it

if not, I might go for Rio.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #358 on:** January 22, 2010, 06:43:37 pm »

Ren, you could pretty much cosplay any male on the show minus Simon (He's black), Shizuo, or that guy with the hat (because they are tall).

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #359 on:** January 22, 2010, 06:44:24 pm »

Are you talking about Erica or the cardboard cutout shannon? Because the cutout is from spice and wolf.

Dubaby · « **Reply #360 on:** January 22, 2010, 06:47:32 pm »

Ahhh, this show and it's anime references. =]

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #361 on:** January 22, 2010, 07:09:32 pm »

You guys I was bored and looked up some video of Athena, and apparently she has this GIANT ORB THING ON HER SHIRT. She's covering it in my ref pic, so I didn't notice is until now.
Um, what is it? What on earth could I use for it?
You can see it in this picture.

Mei Long · « **Reply #362 on:** January 22, 2010, 07:11:48 pm »

SOMEONE SHOULD COSPLAY THE CARDBOARD CUTOUT!!!!

Nikki, are you callin' me short??? haha. I know I won't cosplay Kida since Olivia said she wanted to cosplay him... and she'd be the right amount of adorable and questionable perversion.

I'm hoping a character catches my eye enough to cosplay. Most the characters I love would be ridiculous for me to pull off. Though I do want Izaya's jacket. Oh yes.

Sexy Beast

Katie - It looks like an adornment for her scarf thing. Reminds me of the broaches on the sailor scouts, haha! Not sure what ya could make it out of though...

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #363 on:** January 22, 2010, 07:15:16 pm »

Maybe I'll make it out of clay and paint it?
Also I uploaded a better picture, a screencap from the video I was watching. It's really weird because the thing looks 3D and flat at the same time.

EDIT
I think I got it figured out, I can get a foam ball and cut it on half and then paint it.

Or if someone cosplays Erika or Walker they could carry around the cutout everywhere. lol XD

Mei Long · « **Reply #365 on:** January 22, 2010, 07:23:53 pm »

Oh yikes, that thing is massive! When I see it I think like, the resin stuff people use for orbs when they're cosplaying mages and things...

Clay might be too heavy for something of that volume though. I'd try and find like, an inflateable ball... one of those that are in toy stores and stuff and paint it. Not sure how that'd work with the scarf though... Or if you are shopping around in random knick knack store and ya see a somewhat see through orb that could be used too (the thing just looks semi-see through to me, dunno why). I've seen things like that in stores that try to sell "mystical" things, like fortune telling orbs and stuff.

Once again, that might be too heavy...

And a cardboard cutout would be an amazing accessory! Hahahaha.

What kind of foam are you talking about? Most foam dissinegrates if you don't put a seal over it first. And I really think the item is a full sphere and not cut in half, so ya might wanna consider not cutting it?

If ya seal the foam though that'd work. =)

if were to do Rio instead then we should at LEAST make that cut-out

..I do love her outfit and little cat ears though...

I was thinking one of those squishy foam balls, like maybe a Nerf one. I'd seal it first then paint it.

Mei Long · « **Reply #369 on:** January 22, 2010, 07:37:45 pm »

Yeah, the nerf balls would be good! And would be easier to work with... the foam balls I was thinking of initially were like, the ones you find in Joanns next to the stuff used for floral arrangement. They deteriorate so baaaaaad.

I think the Erika and Walker cosplayers should find a Spice and Wolf cosplayer to pose with. =P

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #370 on:** January 22, 2010, 07:41:45 pm »

Haha, I actually looked up "giant plastic pearls" to see what would come up, and it gave me a link to coscom with someone wanting to make something similar to what I am. Someone suggested "foam balls" and I initially thought of the floral ones too, but I just looked them up and those sports balls came up.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #372 on:** January 22, 2010, 07:48:42 pm »

My friend Stephanie is cosplaying from Spice and wolf!
And Katie you could see if there is a cheap plastic, over-sized ornament somewhere and just paint it.
And Shannon when you say Rio you mean Miss Magenta yesssss?

Mei Long · « **Reply #373 on:** January 22, 2010, 07:52:27 pm »

CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS! This could be considered as well, Katie. *nod-nod* Easier to paint, I think.

Miss Magenta was cute but idiotic... seriously - let us go into the van with the three shady men: GENIUS. Ugh.

If I cosplay Izaya I wanna have fights with Kyle! And I already told Josh he should cosplay a vending machine so Kyle can throw him! It'll be magical!

SHIZZY-CHAN!!!

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #374 on:** January 22, 2010, 08:09:51 pm »

How would I attach a round thing to the scarf? Wouldn't it hang weird?

Mei Long · « **Reply #375 on:** January 22, 2010, 08:24:23 pm »

You could put velcro on the back of it so that it would remain attached to the scarf and not swing around? Or, you could string the scarf thing through the ball.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #376 on:** January 22, 2010, 08:43:11 pm »

I just looked up a couple of Athena costumes to see what people used. I found three pictures, and they all seemed to use a small Christmas ornament. Two of them just had the ornament on top of the scarf, and it looked really awkward. One of them seemed to put the scarf through the ornament, which looked best.
Most Christmas ornaments, the shiny ones at least, are glass, right? How would I put a nice-sized hole through a glass ornament without it breaking?
I'm terrible at stuff like this.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #377 on:** January 22, 2010, 09:09:45 pm »

Get Plastic ones. They won't be dangerous.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #378 on:** January 22, 2010, 09:22:09 pm »

Wouldn't it still shatter if it's too thin?

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #379 on:** January 22, 2010, 09:23:47 pm »

If it's thin as hell or you put a ton of pressure on it. The glass is more dangerous and I would avoid it at all costs.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #380 on:** January 22, 2010, 09:25:10 pm »

Oh yeah glass would not be fun to use at all, plus it'd probably get broken at the con or in transit.
Would I just drill a hole in it?

That or see if you can get one with one with a hook on it.

that's her. I like her design, and I think I would look well as her. Too bad she's so idiotic XD
But yes, those are my main choices right now.
Either Miss Magenta, or Miss Cardboard Cutout

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #383 on:** January 22, 2010, 10:27:36 pm »

I'm still confused. Are you talking about the person holding the cardboard cutout (Erika) or the cardboard cut out (Horo from spice and wolf)?

Trumby · « **Reply #384 on:** January 23, 2010, 12:24:48 am »

I'm not sure who I would work best as. I really like Izaya because he's a total nutbag which is awesome. Maybe Kyohei, as he seems to have my type of personality so far.

We're definitely going to need a Mikado and Sonohara if someone does Kida.

And if someone does no name girl we definitely need a Seiji to stalk her

I just visualized it in my head and it was epic. lol.

I'm seriously super excited about cosplaying from this, especially since there already seems to be a decent amount of people interested and it's only on it's third episode. =3

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #386 on:** January 23, 2010, 12:36:23 am »

Yeah, pretty much anyone in on Baccano! seems to be itching for this as well. Also just a reminder this is discussion people~ No deciding 'til ep six. If you want to do the same character as someone SPEAK UP. Have a discussion about it and such.

Dubaby · « **Reply #387 on:** January 23, 2010, 12:38:31 am »

Agreed! I have a feeling when episode 6 rolls around people are going to battling. I haven't heard anyone else saying they like no-name yet though so yay for me.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #388 on:** January 23, 2010, 12:39:52 am »

It seems the men are battling this time for characters and the women are just sitting back and watching XD

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #389 on:** January 23, 2010, 09:16:33 am »

I'll be the random lolita that walks past the two guys about five minutes into the first episode.

I just started watching Durarara, it looks pretty interesting.

lol I saw that too, I was like "wait, is this important?!" btw, I think you would be an adorable Sonohara (girl with short black hair and glasses)

and Nikki, I was talking about Horo (didn't know she was an actual character from anything)
never mind the ideas of cosplaying the cut-out, but it would still be awesome the actually HAVE a cutout.

if we do this, and nobody shows interest in Mikado, I'd totally be willing to do it =] He's a shy/frail teenage boy, the perfect crossplay for my type >=]
Though I have a feeling Mikado and Maosami will often be mistaken for Ouran Host Club members...

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #391 on:** January 23, 2010, 11:14:10 am »

Sonohara looked cute in the opening. I've only seen one episode, so she hasn't shown up yet.
I kind of like the girl with the brown pigtails.

shanime_panda · « **Reply #392 on:** January 23, 2010, 11:32:03 am »

that would be Rio

You'd be cute as either (teenage girl BROFIST)

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #393 on:** January 23, 2010, 12:48:49 pm »

So far this is what everyone is showing interest in:

Mikado- Shannon, Josh
Kida- Olivia
Anri- Torei
Izaya- Ren, Anthony
Shizuo- Kyle
Shinra- Jameson, Ren
Kyouhei- Anthony
Walker- Jameson
Erica- Katie, Torei
Seiji-
Namie-
Simon- Sifa
Celty- Nikki, Torei
Saburo-
No name girl- Kaitlyn
Izaya's sister #1-
Izaya's sister #2-

shanime_panda · « **Reply #394 on:** January 23, 2010, 01:09:37 pm »

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #395 on:** January 23, 2010, 01:28:52 pm »

You guys have no idea who they are. I'm not sure when they are gonna come in, I'm not going to show any pictures because there may be spoilers.

Mei Long · « **Reply #396 on:** January 23, 2010, 01:51:01 pm »

^ Yeah, definitely no spoilers please. I ran smack dab into a brick wall of them last night and it broke my heart a bit. Baw.

Meanwhile... Ep. 6: LET THE BLOOD BATH BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Nikki, I'm not gonna be Kida. Olivia should be Kida. =)

Right now for me it's between Izaya and Shinra... Hopefully we'll learn more about Shinra by ep. 6. Gotta love them headless chicks, man.

Man of the Public · « **Reply #397 on:** January 23, 2010, 08:22:40 pm »

If Shinra doesn't work out for me, I'd be interested in Walker.

But until then, Ren, me and you are rivals for the labcoat cosplay.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #398 on:** January 23, 2010, 08:48:30 pm »

Okay guys, I need serious help with my Athena wig. I can't find the right color, and I want to be as accurate as possible.

Here are the options:

Amphigory 1
Amphigory 2
Both of these come in the same colors. I think that the fuchsia color is closest to the character, but still really off.
Professionals Only
The color for this one is more accurate, but still too bright.

Right now I like the Professionals Only wig, but I don't want to be the stupid kid with the neon wig.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #399 on:** January 23, 2010, 08:56:23 pm »

I think those are all pretty terrible...maybe you'd be better off getting a white or blonde colored wig and dying it with some wig dye.
