Misty Progress!!

I know my pants look unzipped, but they aren't. I need to iron it flat cause the flap thingie has a crease in it. :/
And the short legs are the same length. I just have one leg bent so it looks longer on one side. ^^;

P.S. Inside the poke`ball is my Horsea figure. :'D

nikkiolie · « **Reply #251 on:** October 15, 2010, 08:32:19 pm »

The misty looks great so far.

I finished my taokaka mask finally. I think it looks pretty good. I may remake it a little later. I need to see what it looks like with the hood up.

oslapedo · « **Reply #252 on:** October 15, 2010, 08:39:07 pm »

I made progress by making a new signature and cutting down my cosplay projects for the year. YEAHHH BEBEHHH.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #253 on:** October 16, 2010, 07:25:41 pm »

Misty wig!!
What do you guys think? :'D
I just attached the pig tail with wires to the wig. ^^

P.S. The collar is the collar I just bought for my Rook cosplay. XP

It looks like a different color lol.

Pic of Slowpoke!

This was sort of a "test run," now I know what I need to fix and improve in order to wear it to a con.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #255 on:** October 16, 2010, 11:12:22 pm »

D: I know!! The Got 2 Be Glue made it like...a shade darker!!! ; 3;

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #256 on:** October 17, 2010, 01:03:14 pm »

Just ordered material to make my cravat pin. A 10mm Brilliant cut Swarovski crystal in orange topaz, earring posts and backs, and I need to find my Apoxie Sculpt and the gold Rub'n'Buff.

Eff yeah I'm about be the most pimp Victorian gentleman ever.

WE CAN HAVE A PROGRESS PICTURE PARTY.

I don't think I can get fabric tonight, though D:

Naruchan · « **Reply #262 on:** October 18, 2010, 06:29:10 pm »

WE WILL! It will be excellent.
:O
YOU SHOULD DO!

ainekatt · « **Reply #263 on:** October 18, 2010, 09:07:02 pm »

Shirt, hat, pants, shoes, socks, bag, Sandman and hand bandages are all a go for my BLU Scout cosplay (which I'm getting ready for Halloween), and today, my dog tags came in the mail from eBay. I kind of love them an unreasonable amount. I got "BLU Scout" printed on one and "Grass grows, sun shines, and brotha, I hurt people" printed on the other. It's the weird details that make me happy. <3

So that means I'm one headset and one belt away from having this thing ready! Eff yess!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #264 on:** October 19, 2010, 12:00:46 am »

I hate buttonholes and have to put three more in my waistcoat and put the buckle on the back so it'll be done.

I dun wanna. I hate buttonholes. But I'mma do it tomorrow when I get done with class so I can spend the rest of the day cutting out pattern pieces and fabric bits for my frock coat. That will not be fun, because I will be cutting velvet and satin and those are both horrid fabrics to keep still on a flat surface.

HOLY **** GUYS, I'M LIKE KNOCKING THIS COSTUME OUT HARDCORE THOUGH. I AM SO IMPRESSIVE.

Dubaby · « **Reply #265 on:** October 19, 2010, 10:06:38 am »

Waiting for my tights and gloves to arrive for my Butterfree cosplay (they should be here any day) so that I can start re-painting my goggles the same color of teal.

Also, does anyone know the name of that red plastic stuff that people normally use to make Kamina glasses? I totally blanked on the name and I need to get some to replace the green lenses on my goggles.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #266 on:** October 19, 2010, 10:10:09 am »

I am going to start working on the shoes now. I was able to test out Taokaka at the dance and I found a few things that need to be worked on but nothing too serious.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #267 on:** October 19, 2010, 10:15:30 am »

Reading sheets I think?

And I finished painting and polishing my Makomo shoes yesterday, touched up my Kumatora boots, repainted my pendent for Kumatora, and touched up 1/3rd of the wig. I still have a lot of stuff today but today I'm hoping to get done...

-Sew Dubaby's Butterfree dress
-Finish Kumatora's wig
-Paint Dusters shirt

8D I'll be AT MEW!
<3 I'M EXCITED TO SEE IT!

Dubaby · « **Reply #272 on:** October 20, 2010, 10:58:13 pm »

I got my tights and gloves today for Butterfree!!!! FFFFFFFFF.... I love them so much, ~Boogie~ is a goddess when it comes to finding good sites to buy from. =]

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #273 on:** October 20, 2010, 11:40:27 pm »

Cut my wig for the Doctor today when I got back from class, but it needs work yet so no pictures. Need to thin it a bit, at the moment it looks less like the 8th Doctor's hair and more like River Song's. I at least got the bangs to somewhat resemble what I needed them to. That was a fight and a half because DAYUM if this wig doesn't have the thickest bangs of any wig I've ever encountered.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #274 on:** October 21, 2010, 11:08:21 pm »

I Have about 80% of my casual Norway done and about 45% of my viking Norway done :]

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #275 on:** October 22, 2010, 07:52:58 am »

I'm looking at Lina Inverse and Ranma Saotome options on eBay.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #276 on:** October 22, 2010, 12:28:00 pm »

Taokaka is about 95% complete. I just need to attach the foam to the shoes and it will be all done, but right now I am waiting for the resin to dry

tofutakeout · « **Reply #277 on:** October 23, 2010, 01:35:04 am »

Ha ha, so Kitty and I are adding another cosplay to our lists. >u>

We kind of really love How to Train your Dragon now. So we're going to be Ruffnut and Tuffnut. Not sure if we're gonna wear them for a con but we're(mostly I) am making them for us to wear to Scan fair this year. I've always wanted to dress up every year and now I have the chance. And what better way as than a Viking? =D

I'm going through my fabric tote right now looking to see if I have anything we could use for it. WE ARE SO EXCITE. Than after Halloween I'm gonna go look for cheap viking things(like helmets and weapons).

Aaaand everything else is at a standstill for now. Until I finish Akaito for Kitty. @_@ So. Close.

Transimage · « **Reply #278 on:** October 23, 2010, 08:45:11 pm »

Currently waiting to buy a lot of things. Waiting to get home for access to a sewing machine before I can make anything substantial.

Training my bangs to fold over like yong-soo's in the event that I end up unable to stand long hair for the first time in four years and getting a haircut, despite planning to buy a wig as I was advised.

Right now I look more like China than anyone else. OTL

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #279 on:** October 23, 2010, 09:04:13 pm »

This is my progress on Shay's Pikachu costume!

I'm about to sew the legs and attach the tail to the body. ^^
Then all that is left is the face!!

The first pic is kinda big... I can turn it into a link if it's too big. o 3o

Dubaby · « **Reply #280 on:** October 24, 2010, 12:54:47 am »

Just bought the following dress for my Butterfree cosplay, and should be receiving it by Wednesday. I'm a little nervous since it's a style I've never really tried before, but the sleeves and color are pretty spot on to what I was wanting. Also a bit worried because even though it was under dresses it's actual tunic length and am worried about it ending up being way to short to wear with my tights. =/

Either way, even if it doesn't end up working for this costume, if it's cute I'll just keep it anywho. =]

ainekatt · « **Reply #281 on:** October 24, 2010, 03:08:46 am »

As soon as this damn paint dries... my Scout headset is officially done.

Wound up making it completely from scratch out of a styrofoam ball (which I carved down to the right shape), a bunch of copper wire, loads of black electrical tape, and some paint. Oh, and some black felt.

It looks AMAZING though.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #282 on:** October 24, 2010, 11:29:42 am »

Pikachu has legs and a tail! I also did a bit of styling on Misty when it was too late to sew last night.

All that is left is to do his face and then I can send him off to Shay. ^^

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #283 on:** October 24, 2010, 11:32:17 am »

Im about 5% complete with my overall, becasue I cleaned out my Dresser and need to make room in my closet.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #284 on:** October 24, 2010, 12:06:34 pm »

Taokaka is now done. I am quite happy with the way it looks. The shoes look pretty good but it my feet start to hurt I have a backup pair that don't have heels that I am going to wear. Sometime you just have to sacrifice accuracy for comfort.

YAY!!! I FINALLY HAVE A PRETTY SIGGY!!!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #287 on:** October 24, 2010, 04:23:55 pm »

I kinda wish I had my camera on me, because I just finished my cravat pin. It's so pretty and sparkly * 3*~

I'll wait until I've got my cravat done and then take a picture with the whole thing put together. I got fabric and RIT dye yesterday so hopefully I can combine colors for a good end result. Gonna finally get around to cutting my velvet Tuesday. Hopefully.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #288 on:** October 24, 2010, 04:48:36 pm »

Haven't made progress on Pikachu yet cause of homework but I just found out I am making an Ash jacket for AkiCon. |D
I quickly dug out some fabric and as soon as Pikachu is done, I get to start work on Ash. (It's like there is a Poke`fest going on in my room! I have Pikachus everywhere for references, my Misty outfit set up in random places where I was working on the different parts, and now I have Ash fabric laying on an ironing board in front of my closet.)

I also want to take pics of my Misty shoes and show you guys. |D I am pretty proud of my work.

ainekatt · « **Reply #289 on:** October 24, 2010, 09:10:30 pm »

Scout is so almost done.

Here's a look at my finished headset and Sandman.

Ignore my stupid face.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #290 on:** October 24, 2010, 09:14:55 pm »

^ Not bad.

Well, since Lina sounsd like the female character I'll be doing for the "Miss" KCon contest, I've also been looking at dress and swimsuit ideas on milanoo.com. I've found quite a bit of possible choices.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #291 on:** October 24, 2010, 09:30:44 pm »

I'd suggest against buying from millanoo, they've been known to steal photos and deliver terrible quality items.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #292 on:** October 24, 2010, 09:59:07 pm »

Welll, I'm going off of what my GF recommended, but since the con is still so far away, I'm planning on looking at various shops, as well. (That way, I could also ask questions). I may also talk to one of my sisters or college buddies and seeing if I could just borrow a dress from one of them. I'll still have to figure out what to do for the bathing suit part...

@Boogie: You can do it!!! I'll be down on Friday so I could help you with remedial taks if you need it... or you know I could just spoon feed you yummy treats and pour you glasses of milk to fuel your mad sewing sessions. =]

edit: So I just got done buying my base wings for Butterfree, also finished my new lenses and started painting my goggles. Got most of the red part done, just waiting for it to dry and then I'll start on the teal.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #295 on:** October 25, 2010, 09:56:22 pm »

Finished cravat, cravat pin, waistcoat and part of my arm. Woo!

Finished Pikachu and sent him on his way.
Working on Misty pony tail now.

Dubaby · « **Reply #299 on:** October 27, 2010, 11:57:39 am »

Decided to seize the break from rain and spray paint my wings for Butterfree so they are actually a whiteish color now. Also been taking breaks from playing Fable every once and awhile to paint more coats on my goggles, they're so close to being done! Should also be getting my Butterfree top sometime today, I'll probably post a pic tonight....

Today is a day of progress!!!!
