Trying to get my dad to help me with the mantle. Instead he just pisses and moans about how it won't stand up, despite my repeated attempts to explain to him how I intend to get it to do so.

All I asked him to do was hold the fabric in place so I can wrap the wire!

So duskull is almost done, I have my makeup planned, my idea and some of the clothes I have a great Idea for, I just want to get a dress and not wear pants xD

Nyahaha is letting me pick up the wig on day O, so once I am finished with the dinner I'm going to straighten it and get it ready ♥

@tanuki: well better than nothing, right?

@blackjack: parents are usually like that. patience is one of those really hard to get things from them but don't worry! you'll get there

@fluffysora: wootz! >w<

@grimm: very cute

@teddy: you could use your namine wig? i mean it's like the same thing lol or is that the wig you are talking about lol

kit2kit · « **Reply #607 on:** July 28, 2011, 05:29:32 pm »

Hey I was wondering if its possible to do the photoshoot later in the day after the contest?

luvan1me · « **Reply #608 on:** July 28, 2011, 07:00:13 pm »

that could be a possibility but it's up to teddy and how the schedule is going to look for the actual con.

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #609 on:** July 28, 2011, 07:35:44 pm »

I will hopefully be able to start on my raichu ears soon because i have all the makings for them minus the headband.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #610 on:** July 28, 2011, 09:06:20 pm »

I have not, fixed the schedule on the first post, but the offical photoshoot schedule time date and place is on the main photoshoots post! ♥

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #611 on:** July 28, 2011, 10:05:09 pm »

I'm going as Wingull! I'm very excited.
Also, I don't come on the forums very much, but maybe I'm blind, where is the Official thread for photoshoots? I don't see it up there. T3T

kit2kit · « **Reply #612 on:** July 28, 2011, 10:22:41 pm »

Gah!

Which contest are you talking about? The actual Cosplay Contest? Thats usually later. Earlier the better on Saturday, as lots of people will want to line up/attend/participate in the actual cosplay contest and it seems like the line always starts hours earlier...

Oh really?
Well okay. I wish there was an actual schedule for this. That would make things so much easier : C

Yes, I think the schedule doesn't come out until just a few days before the con. Possibly a week... And then there are usually changes that need to be made. People will adjust their plans around the panels.

Just go with the flow and don't stress about missed oppurtunities.

I wish the con schedule would be announced first so people could plan photoshoot schedules around it, but I suppose that's true for all the shoots.

So I started on the mantle but it's very slow going. I have to hand-stitch everything and make it look metallic, which means that I have to hide all the stitching.

luvan1me · « **Reply #618 on:** July 29, 2011, 10:53:23 pm »

i'll let you guys know about some of the scheduling cuz i have a panel, and i have to work around that, so i'll let you guys know about the times for stuff

kit2kit · « **Reply #619 on:** July 29, 2011, 11:30:38 pm »

Alright, sounds good C:

Kagome219 · « **Reply #620 on:** July 30, 2011, 06:20:01 pm »

Looking forward to the photo shoot~
Also, Crystal contact lenses came today; also bought the fabric for her jacket and shorts/hat. Can't wait! : D

sk_chan · « **Reply #621 on:** July 31, 2011, 11:00:19 pm »

I finished my Grimsley cosplay!!

Here it is:

Yeah, that's a Zorua plush. It's the only Dark-type Pokemon plush I own. I also had some PokeBalls.

luvan1me · « **Reply #622 on:** July 31, 2011, 11:20:11 pm »

oH EM gEE! XD yes! love love love! i'm so excited to finish my cosplay now >w<

Aaaah! But I've never been in the cosplay contest before. >w> pretty sure I would die. XD

BlackjackGabbiani · « **Reply #628 on:** August 01, 2011, 01:51:02 am »

Ooh Grimsley!

So um...would anyone else be available to help me with Ghetsis? Because I don't know how to use a sewing machine and the friend who's helping me is really good at hand stiching but that will take forever on this outfit. And then there's the mantle which is just AAAAAAAAAAAA if I didn't hate him enough after actually playing BW then I sure hate him enough now!

Seriously man. Whoever thought SHOULDER ARMOR RESEMBLING CASTLE TURRETS was a solid character design choice...

Anyway I'm in Beaverton, right by the Quatama max station, and I can pay in stuff from my online store. Also I provide lunch.

it's fun!

and we're just doing a small fight scene and then walking off stage :3 so it's no biggy!

@blackjack: i would offer, but i still have to finish my own costume >.< sorry!

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #630 on:** August 01, 2011, 04:46:16 pm »

Grimsley loooove!

Raichu ears are almost complete!

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #631 on:** August 01, 2011, 05:41:05 pm »

Bought my wig for my wingull costume today. Ugh, I am always worried that they won't come in time, even with EMS shipping. I'm going to go get some yellow converse and socks later this week... Trying to think of cute ways to incorporate a wingull plush into my costume... maybe pin them to my shoulders? What do you think!

luvan1me · « **Reply #632 on:** August 01, 2011, 06:04:00 pm »

YES! PUT ONE ON YOUR SHOULDER SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE PIRATES! :DDDDDD

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #635 on:** August 02, 2011, 12:03:06 am »

I think you should run around with it in your hand, pretending its flying with you like kids do with toy planes XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #636 on:** August 02, 2011, 12:06:04 am »

So my plans changed a little. I was going to do Lugia then I wasn't but now I am again. And my friend is going to be my Ho-oh. My costume is just about done, all I have to do is make and attach the sleeves. Kitty's is already done, she wore it to Sakuracon.

Taikei · « **Reply #637 on:** August 02, 2011, 01:48:25 am »

Sooo, I'm not getting Lugia done this year (i was crazy thinking i would)

But- I'm thinking of making the costume so that it's able to tolerate being underwater (chlorinated of course) for some awesome underwater shots. I was wondering...what kind of fabric should I make it from if I do this? Another thing, would Chlorine change the color of a light gray wig?

rukavampireknight · « **Reply #638 on:** August 02, 2011, 11:10:23 am »

My sister is doing umbreon this year. She just registered her account so she will post tommarow.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #639 on:** August 02, 2011, 01:09:03 pm »

So, I'm going to town this weekend on Saturday and spening the night with my mom when she comes to see me. I'm going to be getting a couple things, and I'm hopeing to get some stuff for her:)

eishamrell · « **Reply #640 on:** August 02, 2011, 08:51:37 pm »

I am going as Umbreon. I like the time and my sister can be the photographer.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #641 on:** August 02, 2011, 09:07:29 pm »

Lugia is now done. After starting it almost a year ago x.x I think I may add a little bit more stuffing in the sleeves but other than that is looks pretty good.

luvan1me · « **Reply #642 on:** August 02, 2011, 10:29:17 pm »

pics? pics?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #643 on:** August 02, 2011, 11:04:15 pm »

not now, maybe later like tomorrow night or so. I might wait till Saturday.

luvan1me · « **Reply #644 on:** August 02, 2011, 11:30:58 pm »

okayz :3 *sits and waits patiently*

still haven't worked on ninetales or vulpix >3> but i got my geta shoes and tabi socks today

nikkiolie · « **Reply #645 on:** August 03, 2011, 12:41:35 pm »

Here is a close up of the wig and makeup

and here is a cruddy camera phone picture of the whole thing

I am planing on moving the sleeves up so they aren't as long as well as adding more padding to the hands so they aren't as frumpy

luvan1me · « **Reply #646 on:** August 03, 2011, 08:45:17 pm »

looking good. and it looks great right now. but maybe make the hands a little bigger? that would look cool (well i guess more padding lol)

BlackjackGabbiani · « **Reply #647 on:** August 05, 2011, 07:23:49 pm »

So far, the cape still looks like this
http://www.cosplay.com/photo/3015468/

and the mantle still looks like this
http://www.cosplay.com/photo/3015470/

I need to finish the mantle but am stuck, and since I have no idea how to use a sewing machine and wouldn't trust myself with such a huge project right off the bat, the cape is remaining idling too.

pixiepepistar · « **Reply #648 on:** August 05, 2011, 07:56:49 pm »

I'm planning on doing Beautifly and Combusken so far, if i have time i may make another :3

Mageleif · « **Reply #649 on:** August 05, 2011, 08:28:17 pm »

I'll be going as Ash all three days. This picture is from a recent convention I went to (AniMinneapolis in Minnesota).
