That color does look perfect.
You need a certain type of wig fiber to dye, right? I would totally get that a white wig and that dye if you would help me, Nikki. Or Ren.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #401 on:** January 23, 2010, 09:01:00 pm »

Never dyed a wig before but I could try, it'd actually be cheaper to just buy that other wig I linked in my post though.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #402 on:** January 23, 2010, 09:04:14 pm »

I didn't see that until after I posted XD
That wig looks amazing. The bangs look a little short, but I have a really small forehead so the wig would be lower on my face and would probably be fine.

Izaya has sisters!? Gahhh my friend is gonna be totally stoked, she wanted to possibly cosplay from this and she's totally in love with Izaya. XD

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.

Duuuuuuuuuuude, Walker is awesome. He's like someone took Scissor-Happy from Baccano! and stuck Firo's hair on him!!!

And you have a good chance at the lab coat cosplay. I already have ONE labcoat that like, has no practical use in everyday life and I don't think I want another. So, unless I end up flippin' for Shinra when we finally get to see him I'll most likely be dukin' it out with Anthony for Izaya.

Oh cosplay, when did you get so competitive?

Well you can always use the same labcoat. No reason not to.
But We'll see by episode 6.

The labcoat I have goes down to my hips whereas the labcoat Shinra uses is much longer. Different labcoat. =)

Episode siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiix.

Soundninja - Episode five of Durarara?

I agree with the "Wut?" because only 3 episodes have been released in Japan thus far. What the hell are you watching? XD

Once a week like any sort of show. It looks like it's taking the subbers about a day for subs so it should be coming out late night thursday/friday.

I hope she shows up in other episodes, even if she's not one of the main characters.

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuys.... I wanna be Celty. D: But I guess... if I have to be, I could be Erica or Anri.... but I dont wanna.... Lol.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #418 on:** January 24, 2010, 10:47:23 pm »

Ooop gotta fight for Certy eh? :O I'm mostly hoping for it because it is prop heavy and I wanna make a huge ass scythe <3

Also, how decisions will go is whoever you are trying to get that other people want, those people will have a civil conversation to see if they can work things out. If a decision can't be decided we will then turn it to a group vote for those two people because that's the only fair way to decide anything.

I like this idea. usually it's hard for the people who want the character to see whether or not they would actually be able to manage it/pull it off.

I've seen that in /a/ a couple times. All anyone seems to comment on is how the asian girl looks like she has junk hanging out and it's being blurred out.
Great Celty though~

Mei Long · « **Reply #423 on:** January 25, 2010, 10:37:08 pm »

^ That's what cropping is for. >> Silly /a/ people...

Meanwhile, TODAY I saw a bunch of Durarara!! cosplayers on Cure!!! I have been looking ridiculously frequent for them to show up on there and then BAM - today!!! It was a pretty awesome surprise.

The two most popular? Shizu-chan and Izaya-kuuuuuuun. Hahahaha.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #424 on:** January 26, 2010, 05:53:44 am »

I had a dream last night I was making Celty's scythe.....

....WTF.

Also, I've decided against trying to decide between Namie and Celty. I don't want another wig that's just going to be used solely for one cosplay. There's a blond long haired character though that may show up in the show! I have a few pictures of her, I just have the slightest as to who she actually is. And you guys know how much I love my god damn blond wigs.

Unless someone would happen to have a long black wig I could barrow that looks like that and it isn't a stringy piece of crap.

So if things don't work out with Celty...COME TO ME BLOND GIRL.

Oh also, how are KoF costumes coming along for those who are joining our Sakuracon group. Me, Kyle and Josh's costumes aren't even started yet :\

soundninja12 · « **Reply #429 on:** January 26, 2010, 09:27:54 am »

My May Lee is coming along. I have the base of the shirt, the shoes, and the base of her belt.
Anyone have an idea on how to make the buckle? I've been trying to make it for months, but everything I tried hasn't worked -_-

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #430 on:** January 26, 2010, 09:47:39 am »

Wow, that would be difficult....hmmm the only thing that comes to mind atm would be clay or something. But that would have a high chance of breaking. I'm going to go look around and see what I can find out though.

Man of the Public · « **Reply #431 on:** January 26, 2010, 12:43:24 pm »

You've probably already tried this... but I second Nikki's thought on clay. Only, don't make it like, a hollow dome shape - instead, create the entire buckle as a solid dome (carve in the ying yang piece too), almost like a semi-sphere, so that it has some strength behind it. Then finish the clay... however you do that. Honestly, I'm not too sure how to make clay look all smooth and awesome. Nikki probably would - she's worked with clay more than me.

And then you could attach it to your belt via a couple snaps that could be glued onto the belt and clay piece. That way you could remove it (to transport it separately, wrapped up all safe) and I think like, using a few snaps in various, multiple positions on the back of the clay piece would assure it lays flat against the belt.

I also think if making that slight curved shape it has (that allows it to sit along the belt) why not make it smaller than it’s already outrageous size so that it’s a little more manageable?

That's my idea on it... would take a good bit of fine tuning but it could work? =)

Meanwhile - For O. Chris I have the top shirt done thanks to Nikki’s cosplay weekend, his contacts (whoo-hoo reusing other cosplay accessories!), and I have what I'm going to use for the belt parts on his wristbands...

Still gotta sew the pants, find what I need for the shoes, buy the under shirt, a new belt (anyone got a brown or black belt they don't want?), make the necklace aaaaaaand decide if I can afford a wig this con or not. If I trim my hair the right way I could use it for both Chris and Czeslaw buuuuuut.. wigs are just so much nicer. =(

And that's where I am! 8D

Now that I think about it: Should I use a BROWN or BLACK belt for O. Chris? I’ve seen both in the game art.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #433 on:** January 27, 2010, 05:31:14 pm »

Okay, I have good news and bad news.

Good news:
Rachel's mom booked our rooms for Sakuracon, and so it's 99% certain I'm going.

Bad news:
I'd be getting there on Friday evening, after the KoF shoot were we'd be all bloodied up.
However, I'm not certain of what time the photoshoot is or what time we'd get there. I assume we'd get to Seattle at around 7-9pm, since we have to leave after 5. The shoot is at 6, isn't it?

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #434 on:** January 27, 2010, 05:54:09 pm »

Bloodied one would start at like, 8 or 9. The first one is earlier.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #435 on:** January 27, 2010, 05:56:41 pm »

Right, I was pretty sure I'd miss the earlier one. But if the second one (it's KoF vs SNK, isn't it?) was at 9, I'd be eternally grateful and I'd probably be able to make it.

I'm just wondering what type of fabric I should use for Rachel's jacket and hat (the hat needs to have a little stretch to it)
I'll be going out of town so that I can go to Joannes, since the closest thing in my town is Walmart :/

At the suggestion of Katie, I need to start practicing my brotography skills so I will try to open up my weekends to broto shoots.

The main catch is you have to be willing be meet me somewhere near the MAX so I can get there.

More info will be coming as soon as I figure the rest of it out.
