Oh wow, that sounds like really fun.

o.o yes! If we do a mock battle that would be awesome! Especially since I actually made Aeriths weapon! =D need to do some finishing touches though

Chiroyo · « **Reply #402 on:** August 27, 2011, 01:41:46 pm »

OTL my sewing machine BROKE yesterday, which means my Noctis costume might be unfinished D8
(I took part of it apart to repair it)

I have some speakers I could bring.

mock battles would be awesome!!! anyone wanna go up against auron, kimahri, and yuna with a shiva summon? we'll be at day two photoshoot

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #405 on:** August 27, 2011, 08:41:50 pm »

I'm gonna be at both shoots, but I'll be Barret from VII, so anyone from VII, bring it!

Just thought I'd throw in that I'll be Songstress Rikku on day 1! Should be in the Karaoke Contest.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #407 on:** August 27, 2011, 09:28:20 pm »

Nice! I may have to stop by the karaoke contest now. That'll be cool to see, heh

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #408 on:** August 27, 2011, 09:46:30 pm »

Actually I entered the contest as well so I might see you there!
I would like to see Songstress Rikku singing

You gonna sing something from X-2 by chance? '1000 Words' or 'Real Emotion' perhaps?

Tomecko · « **Reply #410 on:** August 27, 2011, 10:44:39 pm »

The plan is to sing 1000 Words (in Japanese), yes. I know I should be Yuna or Lenne for true accuracy, but I make a better Rikku.

I felt left out last year being the only Karaoke contestant not in some sort of music-related outfit (or at least a cosplay that matched the series they were singing from). I think the Karaoke contest times might interfere with any photoshoot fun, though. I gotta take a look at the schedule.

Oh, and this is my Songstress Rikku: http://www.cosplay.com/costume/329071/

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #411 on:** August 27, 2011, 10:48:07 pm »

Nah, that's awesome! You make a fantastic Songstress Rikku. I think that's really cool that you're doing that, being all in-character and such. If I were a judge you'd win ('cause I'm guilty of FF-favoritism, lol). But yeah, your Songstress looks great. ^_^

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #412 on:** August 27, 2011, 11:30:31 pm »

I've never been to the contest before, but I'm wearing my Matryoka Rin outfit with my Matry. Len as we sing the song.
your costume looks awesome!
Oh yeah I might be late as well

I am just about finished with my Rikku wig. I still need to trim the ends a bit but I am pretty happy with the way it looks

i keep debating weather or not i want to take rinoa this tear.
;-; i want to for my boyfriend whos taking squall but im not 100% haooy with how i look in it...

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #415 on:** August 28, 2011, 08:47:10 am »

Well, you shouldn't do a cosplay if you think you're going to be the least bit uncomfortable/unhappy while doing it. It's nice to support others, but if it ruins your time...that defeats the purpose of Kumoricon.

Aww, I think you look cute as Rinoa since I saw photos of the Jinglefreetacos of you, Scarlet, and others on Facebook. D:

nikkiolie · « **Reply #418 on:** August 29, 2011, 02:55:28 am »

Thanks. And the blade are almost done, again. XD I am actually happier with how they look now. I still want to improve a few things but I am starting to run out of time so I may just settle at this point.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #419 on:** August 29, 2011, 06:51:58 pm »

Here are the blades

They blade part looks a little bumpy but they aren't really. =/

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #420 on:** August 29, 2011, 07:00:09 pm »

Looking good, Nichole. The bottom blade, is that a reflection or a weathering spot on the lower half?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #421 on:** August 29, 2011, 07:26:07 pm »

reflection

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #422 on:** August 29, 2011, 08:01:07 pm »

Okay, I figured but was curious. Yeah, great work on those. They looked good initially, but you really brought some realism to them. Lookin' good.

Chiroyo · « **Reply #423 on:** August 30, 2011, 09:06:20 am »

So did we ever really decide a time for photoshooting? o3o;

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #424 on:** August 30, 2011, 10:09:27 am »

Yup.

Saturday @ 3:00pm & Sunday @ noon, both in Esther Short Park

Chiroyo · « **Reply #425 on:** August 30, 2011, 12:49:39 pm »

Ohhhhh, thanks :3

I'll be there for sure, with my Noctis cosplay

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #426 on:** August 30, 2011, 01:55:08 pm »

No Yuna this year, sorry u.u I can't get all the embroidery and stuff done in time >> Still taking Garnet and Celes though

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #427 on:** August 30, 2011, 01:58:08 pm »

Better to not rush things than end up with a less-than-satisfactory cosplay. We all understand that. I'll be glad to see your others though. Do you think you're going to come to both shoots?

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #428 on:** August 30, 2011, 02:55:08 pm »

I really, really wish I could. Especially with Heather going as both Edgar and Zidane, but I can't go to the Day 2 one. I have a panel that I'm heading (The Kuroshitsuji under 18 panel) that's 12:00-1:00pm. I wish I could be in two places at once though xD

I'll probably wear Celes to the Day 1 shoot though, even if I want to wear Garnet xD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #429 on:** August 30, 2011, 06:43:55 pm »

I am nice and tan now for Rikku. I am actually quite pleased so far. I just got done doing a spray tan and I will know better by tomorrow if I like it or not. But I am much darker than I normally am

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #430 on:** August 30, 2011, 06:47:04 pm »

I'm considering doing that for Barret, because I have some sleeve-tan lines that will not go away (plus I should be darker overall anyway). But tell me...should I bother with tanning if I'm already brown? I mean, I'm not going to be able to get black (like Barret), so should I even bother?

Tomecko · « **Reply #431 on:** August 30, 2011, 06:52:04 pm »

nikkiolie - Ha, now that's dedication! I'm going to be a pale, pale Rikku next to you (your wig looks awesome, by the way!).

When I was going to debut my Songstress last April, my friend saw me unpacking the boots and Googled Rikku just so she could see what it would all look like. She found the reference pic (see signature) and started laughing, then told me I'd better paint my skin orange.

Silly oversaturated game models...

You can but you don't have to. I don't think it is really that big of a deal. If you do there is a cheap way (though it is a little late for this con) there is lotion that Jergans makes that gradually tans you over two weeks or so. I have used it before and will use it to make this tan last longer and it works really well.

Zensuke · « **Reply #433 on:** August 30, 2011, 07:15:46 pm »

Well my Final Fantasy 8 inspired Claymore for my Scottish SeeD mercenary is finally done and I'm very pleased with it.

I was thinking that I might get some blue face paint and do some brave heart style designs. Might be a bit much though.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #434 on:** August 31, 2011, 07:38:07 am »

Looks great so far. I think it would be good to do the blue face paint, but people might be confused.

As for the tan, I have mainly been looking at my face and arms and I have been quite pleased with it. When I got up this morning and got dressed I looked up in the mirror and I was super pleased. My whole body is a nice even shade and is super dark. Once I get off work I will put the top and the skirt on and take a picture. I just need to make sure that it stays this dark till Monday.

So I am going to buy some more lotion today.

Ah, well that lotion is good to know about. Next time I do game-Barret I'll keep that stuff in mind. Thanks for the suggestion. And yeah, I'm thinking I'll just deal with the color I've got right now. Should be fine.

And that sword looks great, Zensuke. In one of the shots the blade looked really reflective, like a real sword. Is the sword actually reflective like that, or was it just an angle thing?

It does reflect light a bit but not enough to reflect images like it appears in one of the pics.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #437 on:** August 31, 2011, 11:13:58 pm »

So, let's do a sound-off. Who's coming to which shoot(s)?

I will be cosplaying Barret (Final Fantasy VII) and will be coming to both Final Fantasy shoots.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #438 on:** August 31, 2011, 11:22:33 pm »

Rikku x-2 to shoot Saturday and Rikku X shoot Sunday

OokamiYami · « **Reply #439 on:** August 31, 2011, 11:36:26 pm »

I'll be coming as Tifa for the Saturday shoot. :3 Got a panel to go to on Sunday.

Zensuke · « **Reply #440 on:** September 01, 2011, 09:13:09 am »

I'll be at the Sunday shoot for sure and maybe the Saturday, depends on if I decide to hit up the Doctor Who panel.

I'll be SeeD uniform Squall for the shoot. Or I might come in Scottish SeeD and swap kilt for pants to transform into Squall. Well see.

Chiroyo · « **Reply #441 on:** September 01, 2011, 10:10:26 am »

I've got karaoke auditions on Saturday, so I'll come to the Sunday shoot as Noctis o3o

RikkuGrape · « **Reply #442 on:** September 01, 2011, 10:45:58 am »

My friend and I might be coming to the Saturday shoot and Yunie and Rikku. It is still up in the air though, but I really hope we can come~ =3

I really hope we can come! We have the costumes done since we have used them before, but Petra has since cut her hair and dyed it so we are going to see if we can borrow a friend's wig since we never had to use one before and she doesn't have one. xD This is the trouble of cosplaying without wigs!! :<

But I sooo hope it works out! I really want to coooommmeeee!!

OokamiYami · « **Reply #446 on:** September 01, 2011, 11:14:03 am »

I hope you do get the wig! D: I'd be lonely walking alone to the shoot! I really want to see the cosplays in person since I only seen it in photos. T_T

Same here! I really hope it all works out too~

You know what? We have been cosplaying from Final Fantasy every year since we started going to KCon and this would be the first year we would actually be able to attend the photoshoot! I am so looking forward to it!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #448 on:** September 01, 2011, 11:16:42 am »

Yami, you just reminded me that this will be my first year cosplaying FF by myself. Usually my wife cosplays a FF character as well, but not this year. Hmm, gonna be lonely, haha (nah, I expect to see all of you at some point in the weekend ^_^)

OokamiYami · « **Reply #449 on:** September 01, 2011, 11:38:50 am »

It's my first time cosplaying as a FF character AND first photoshoot meetup. xD; So I am so hyped up. I am definitely going to take pictures with you! 8D I am bringing my camera along as well!
