Teddy.. I might need to make my sister go as Original Green this year, since I just cut my hair super short and donated it. I might be able to get extensions, but don't count on it. Just keepin' you aware!

No worries.

Ok so. Anyone want to make some extra money and live in the Portland area, hopefully closer to Beaverton/Hillsboro?

Because I really need someone to help me sew this thing up. I can provide fabric, sewing machine, thread, etc, but I lack the skill to do so. Also someone willing to teach while doing would be VERY much appreciated.

Can you post a picture please? That would give me an idea of whats envolved. Also what kinds of fabric do you have for it?

You can see my dilemma here. Although it looks simpler than it initially seems, upon a closer look. Just a double cape over a...housedress or something, and a weird mantle.

As for the other person I was considering, his is a lot easier. I think.

Probably have to make that shirt of something pretty thin, though, since otherwise it's two coats.

Now I really can't wait to find a coat for Ice! Grr.. So what kinda material are you thinking for him? Or you could sew the two coats together.

yes it's a house dress sorta thing

just wear a long white apron thing and you'll be fine 83

BlackjackGabbiani · « **Reply #307 on:** March 21, 2011, 08:35:19 pm »

I have no idea what to use for either of them. I got what looks like some nice dark blue fabric for Ghetsis's cape, but the yellow idk. And Murph's seems like it should be like pilled fleece or something and I don't know why.

So, does anyone want to get some money and help me out?

Raveen92 · « **Reply #308 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:31:30 pm »

After the events of today's meet up. I'm interested in cosplaying as a gijinka, and I want to use my Red hair here. I had fun. (and I want a non FMA cosplay.)

And ideas on what pokemon I could be?

@raveen: voltorb (or whichever has the red top)

scisor

latias

ladyba and the evolved form
(or w/e the name is for the ladybug pokemon)

magma? (the magma pokemon lol) and the evolved form as well

@nikki: i'm sorry i couldn't be there earlier, buses and maxes were NOT being nice today -.-"

Raveen92 · « **Reply #313 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:43:08 pm »

I sorta want to do something simple, cheap, and easy but not cruddy.

luvan1me · « **Reply #314 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:44:12 pm »

Raveen92 · « **Reply #316 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:46:33 pm »

Easy, but I mean pokemon wise. Easy but not TOO Easy like Voltorb >.>

@Teddy. -.-

luvan1me · « **Reply #317 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:48:59 pm »

voltorb is pretty much the first one that popped into my head since it IS red and white <.< and you can make it a funny one, like you wear the red wig and make a ball shaped body costume. which is pretty easy to do, kinda like those m&m costumes XD that would be epic XDDD

Raveen92 · « **Reply #318 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:51:32 pm »

I don't want to be an exploding ball >.> I want something more manly/womanly like Torchic or something easier

superjaz · « **Reply #319 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:52:11 pm »

@black jack, sorry i work like 38 hours in 3 days and my phone doesn't show pictures I am off wednesday and can take a look then

luvan1me · « **Reply #320 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:57:12 pm »

how is voltorb NOT manly <~<

besides i ADDED a few others you know -.-" and torchic with that wig would NOT work :/ it would have to be orange not red

Raveen92 · « **Reply #321 on:** March 21, 2011, 10:01:09 pm »

Yeah I need something Candy Apple Red like Pansear or Simisear, Possibly Ariados

luvan1me · « **Reply #322 on:** March 21, 2011, 11:58:19 pm »

ariados would be a good one too :3

Or if you want to go in a whole new direction with your hair, Team Aqua

(Since they have red hair.)

Raveen92 · « **Reply #324 on:** March 22, 2011, 02:05:07 pm »

I want to be a gijinka pokemon though.

Vexenification · « **Reply #325 on:** March 22, 2011, 02:36:00 pm »

Well I was just tossing ideas out there. Since it's so short maybe a Charmander?

I think this one is really awesome. And it isnt too hard.

But I want to use my Red wig, sorry. Maybe if I get a blue wig someday.

Quick question~ Did 0peko on pixiv do this? I looked through their gallery and didn't find that art. Do you know who did make it? Thank you. =)

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #332 on:** March 23, 2011, 10:00:24 am »

I don't know who made it. I just came across it a while ago and liked it a lot.

veraca · « **Reply #334 on:** March 29, 2011, 02:10:21 pm »

I'm planning on a Magikarp for this con...

but I'm not sure.. I'm scared of the stuff I want to make for it ^^; So we'll see.... I should know by June.

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #335 on:** March 29, 2011, 07:06:50 pm »

Hey guys. Okay I was randomly googling stuff and found a really odd, but really cool item:

As you can see, they are boots that look like paws and have claws to detail it!
So cool!

And with my cosplay being a mightyena gijinka and the feet being paw shapped, I thought that this might be a good possible alternative idea. What do you guys think??

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #336 on:** March 29, 2011, 09:01:11 pm »

That'd be pretty cool. Though you might want to make sure you'd be able to walk in them. You'd have to walk tip-toed all the time, since there are no heels.

And take me off the list for any pokemon this year. I just don't have the time to add another cosplay.

I'll probably still go to meetups and such, but there's no way I have room for another cosplay for Kumo~

luvan1me · « **Reply #337 on:** March 29, 2011, 09:21:37 pm »

@shadow: that is WAY awesome! and you would have to walk on your heel actually, it would feel a bit weird at first, but you would have to practice with them so you can get used to how to balance where you would step.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #338 on:** March 29, 2011, 09:28:35 pm »

*cough*
Doe, you don't walk on the heel...
Just saying...

Oh! And I'm thinking of doing either Slowking or Articuno/Moltres/Zapdos to go with Savanah's Lugia ^^

luvan1me · « **Reply #339 on:** March 29, 2011, 10:24:29 pm »

meant to say you will be focusing mostly on balancing on them -.-" it's like it will be kinda more heel than toes >.< didn't come out right UGH!!! CAN'T EXPLAIN THINGS! DX

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #340 on:** March 29, 2011, 11:14:17 pm »

^Lol.

Yeah, I know what you mean though. Just like walking in high heels, it takes a little practice/getting used to. These would be even tougher I imagine as it has no heel.
BUT, they look pretty epic, so it would be worth it.
Plus, if you guys think it would go well with my mightyena gijinka cosplay, then Im all for it. Hopefully the site I found this on is somewhat reasonable with its prices.....

luvan1me · « **Reply #341 on:** March 29, 2011, 11:22:13 pm »

it looks awesome and it will go perfectly with it

maybe add some fluff on the top?? like fur all over it? try to see how that looks maybe? lol or just let it be :3

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #342 on:** March 29, 2011, 11:32:27 pm »

Yeah I thought about that too. I just dont really know the best way to do that. I mean, CAN you even attach fur or any material for that matter, to the outside of boots?

But yeah, the original plan will have furry slippers with claws for the feet, but this seemed like a much cooler idea.
And actually in this case, its a win win. When my feet get tired from these, I can switch to the more comfortable slippers.
Yay.
But first, I need to find out if these boots will be affordable. I get that feeling that they wont..... sigh.

luvan1me · « **Reply #343 on:** March 30, 2011, 01:17:06 am »

hm yea i doubt they will but who knows? :3

Hot glue is your best friend for temp attaching. If it does work, I'd say try "fabric stitch" for a more permanent hold ^^

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #345 on:** March 30, 2011, 03:44:02 pm »

Well, I was right. The site for those boots is Uber expensive.
Those paw boots cost 1440 Euro.

So thats a no go.

But that brings me to my next thought, do you guys think its possible to make my own similar version?

I'd imagine that I could fine similar normal boots. If I can find a durable and plyable material, I could make a cut out of a dogs paw pads and hot glue them to the bottom of the boots. Then just remove the heel part. Also if possible, I'd add claws to the front of the boots as well. In this case, I would make them a bit shorter for durability.

What do you guys think of that?

luvan1me · « **Reply #346 on:** March 30, 2011, 05:20:12 pm »

it could work

and sucks it cost that much, i was thinking it was going to be waay out of your price range XD

you can get a pair of boots, OR you can make them out of fabric completely, and have the base be a pair of black slip on shoes, and cover the whole leg part in fabric, and attach the claw/paws to the front, and cover those with the same fabric. it shouldn't be TOO hard. you might want to paper mache the whole shoe, into w/e shape you want, color it black or w/e the color you want, then cover it with the fabric.

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #347 on:** March 30, 2011, 05:50:43 pm »

Yeah, usually these non main stream products are pretty pricey. Its actually outragous imo. I mean, sure those would take a little extra effort to make and a little more time, but that much? Really?

Anyways, for my original gijinka plans, I already have furry clawed slippers basically, planned for the feet. But those boots would have been an even more realistic and way cooler way to going about it.

Thats all.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #348 on:** March 30, 2011, 10:51:53 pm »

Well, pretty much the company who made those boots, just took a pair of boots and took the whole sole and heel of them and just replaced it with the dog sole.

It'd be pretty easy to do. I'm actually planning on doing these myself for a different cosplay.

luvan1me · « **Reply #349 on:** March 30, 2011, 11:03:54 pm »

good luck to both of you
