Yaoicon is October 21-23!

...this means I have to actually decide what I'm cosplaying. Dang. BUT LITTLE SISTER IS GO, IF PAX HAPPENS.

TalkNerdToMeBaby · « **Reply #4252 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:02:23 pm »

EVEN IF PAX FAILS, YOU SHOULD STILL BE LITTLE SISTER FOR NEXT SAK BEING THAT THAT IS FOR SURE THE LAST CON THAT BIG SISTER WILL BE AT.

Malaria · « **Reply #4253 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:07:06 pm »

I WOULD BE LITTLE SISTER FOR SAK
EMILEE AND I TOGETHER WOULD BE THE CREEPIEST AND THE CUTEST

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #4254 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:19:36 pm »

OKAY I CAN DO THAT AT SAK FOR SURE

I want to be adorable and terrifying.

^ <3

A friend and I already saved up money for Yaoicon a while back. We just need to reserve a hotel room. Ha. Probably should get on that.

Hashi and Yagi: Were you two planning on going as Altair and Malik? I could've sworn I heard something like that a while back...

I have a cosplay in mind for it. But it's such a popular one I may in fact change it. pfft.

Hashi · « **Reply #4256 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:24:14 pm »

AHAHAHAAH yes. that was the plan.

Yaoicon is so chill. Ya'll should totes come. Its so chill it makes me use words like 'totes'.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #4257 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:25:06 pm »

^I love you two. Seriously.

Do you think an Abel cosplay would be too cliche? I feel like a lot of people would go for that but it was one of my ideas. :/

Malaria · « **Reply #4258 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:26:26 pm »

An Abel cosplay seems like a really good way to get super creeped on.

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #4259 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:27:08 pm »

I'M COMING TO YAOICON THIS YEAR IF IT KILLS ME. Let's hope it doesn't kill me. I wouldn't know what to cosplay though, besides gaying it up as Zuko and Jet some more.

Hashi · « **Reply #4260 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:27:18 pm »

We were debating a Machine+ Girl cosplay, so if its Starfighter Abel your referring to thatd be awesome. it could be a Hamlet love-fest!
and MAOH. maybe. Im trying to convince them to go. its my new superpower you guys. being friends to webcomic artists.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #4261 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:34:29 pm »

Malaria: Yeeeeeeaaaaah that's what I was thinking. It was honestly the first yaoi related cosplay that popped into my head. Ha. It seems like it would be kind of fun to do, but at the same time...

Hashi: Yes, Starfighter Abel. Ahaha and it would be great if she recognized you guys again.
What an awesome superpower.

I want to go to Yaoicon with you guys. > v <

YOU GUYS THIS IS THE MOST TERRIFYING THING I'VE SEEN IN FOREVER.
(watch it. sound is mandatory.)

I would too but I have a feeling it would be kinda terrifying. The idea of me cosplaying yaoi is laughable.

Malaria · « **Reply #4264 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:49:25 pm »

what the hell am I watching

Dude, you don't need a yaoi-oriented cosplay. You can be whatever you want~

Hashi · « **Reply #4265 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:53:27 pm »

That was terrifying Felix.

DAMMIT HUSSIE WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND YOUR MAGICAL ABILITY TO MAKE ME WANT TO COSPLAY FEMALE CHARACTERS.

Felix · « **Reply #4274 on:** April 28, 2011, 02:29:03 am »

OKAYYYYY LET'S DO IT.
Which con?

(There are a couple Ancestor cosplays on dA but they are crap.)
(Why am I even doing this? I blame you Malaria.)

Malaria · « **Reply #4275 on:** April 28, 2011, 08:44:08 am »

You're wanting to cosplay females because they're people. You've had no desire to cosplay females previously because they bore little to no resemblance to interesting, well-rounded, actual humans.

BLAME THE MISOGYNY IN MEDIA FOR KEEPING YOU FROM THIS BEFORE

Hashi · « **Reply #4276 on:** April 28, 2011, 10:10:54 am »

Awww Hashi, Mephisto turned out great! everyone looks great~

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #4278 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:23:41 am »

omg those pictures turned out SO COOL *______*

Felix · « **Reply #4279 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:32:16 am »

Re: Facebook pic issue:
You can cap the images, like this.
-Press the 'Print Screen' button on your keyboard. (Mine is labelled 'PRTSC'; yours is probably some variation of that.)
-Open an image editing program (MS Paint works) and Paste. The screencap will appear.
-Crop and Save image!
If the full pic doesn't fit in one browser window, just cap twice and paste the halves together in your image editing program.

(Those ANE photos are great, though jaqua's shirt kind of blends in with the backdrop and the bone crosses on the Amaimon vest need more contrast. The k-con advertisements are hilarious and I love Mephisto.)

Also, do you guys think I could find wool fibre anywhere or is that unreasonable? I was thinking about dreadwig and wool would be easier to dread than plastic wig fibre.

WOW WHAT IS MY FACE EVEN DOING

this is like the hottest photo of all time

Malaria · « **Reply #4284 on:** April 28, 2011, 04:38:14 pm »

They took like 15 pictures. I feel like they could've maybe picked a slightly better one.

Felix · « **Reply #4285 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:19:39 pm »

I know how I'd do it; I'm just not sure about the availability/price comparisons. I'm pretty sure it would look better AND be a lot easier, so unless it's ridiculously expensive/unavailable I'll probably go with that. (I've made felt before and felt is basically a wool dread. Except flat instead of roughly cylindrical. And wool fibres are actually more inclined to do that than human hair, so it'll be even easier to work with, certainly easier than plastic wig fibre.)

Malaria · « **Reply #4286 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:26:40 pm »

But how are you gonna make that into like, an actual hair-covering wig?

TalkNerdToMeBaby · « **Reply #4287 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:10:45 pm »

So, I'm totally in San Fran right now, guys.

Felix · « **Reply #4288 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:14:51 pm »

Make the dreads, then attach them to the wignet? It'll probably be time-consuming, but not too hard. Either way I'll figure it out. I'll attach the horns first because it'll be easier that way.
I WILL DO IT AND STILL HAVE TIME FOR MY AT LEAST THREE OTHER COSPLAYS. IT WILL HAPPEN.

Malaria · « **Reply #4289 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:35:37 pm »

Tori: Cool~

Felix: You know, you might be able to use one of those netted wig caps for this.

Felix · « **Reply #4291 on:** April 28, 2011, 07:05:35 pm »

I was just going to make it from scratch but if you think that'd work....?
The only thing is, I have to attach a lot of long heavy dreads to it. I've never used a netted wigcap, but unless they're a lot sturdier than I'm picturing it wouldn't work.
