Yeah, we're not using a shopping service, we're ordering directly from that store. It's cheaper that way :\

veraca · « **Reply #901 on:** March 10, 2011, 09:59:15 am »

Did a lot of hardcore math for costumes... And figured out, really seriously, what ones I want to keep or sell. And what ones to buy. Nose to the grinding stone and all that >3

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #902 on:** March 10, 2011, 10:12:39 am »

Okay, well thanks, but everything I need is from seperate stores.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #903 on:** March 10, 2011, 04:32:16 pm »

I got my Princess Bubblegum body paint today!

It looks purple-y in the pic, but it's really pink irl. I just kind of slapped it on to see how it would look, but it went on really easy and wasn't splotchy or anything. It's also slightly transparent, which is exactly what I wanted. It's Mehron StarBlend is anyone is curious.

Now all I need is my wig and I'm completed finished with Princess Bubblegum! Ah I can't wait!

nyahaha · « **Reply #904 on:** March 10, 2011, 07:02:54 pm »

It looks good! Have you made the crown yet? And I just got an update from Cici, and the items were ordered. Some of them were out of stock (not your PB wig) but everything that was in stock was ordered today.

bunny_jean · « **Reply #905 on:** March 10, 2011, 08:34:39 pm »

Looking good Katie! I looked at that, but they don't have the light blue that I would need. ;_; So I think I'm going to try Ben Nye Aqua Makeup... mebbe.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #906 on:** March 10, 2011, 08:51:13 pm »

Haley- Thank you! And not yet, I still gotta figure out exactly what I'm making it out of. I was suggested to try craft foam, but I might also get the thick paper that you used for your Max costume. What exactly is that? Also YESSSSSSSSS. So they get our stuff in 3-4 days and we get it in around 10? So like two weeks? HNNNNNNG I CAN'T WAIT.

Holly- Thank you also! I was originally going to get Ben Nye, but they didn't sell the right kind of pink. If you want I can link you to the website I bought it from, they have a slight discount. The only thing is that shipping is a bit expensive, but I placed my order on Monday night and it arrived today. I've also heard good things about one of Mehron's other brands but I can't remember the name.

That would be nice. :3 I can buy Ben Nye through the UO bookstore, so I don't have to pay shipping costs if I buy it. I just have to have exactly what I want (numbers and such) to give them. I do the same with Copic marker stuff. :3

Yup.

Perk to being in Eugene/going to the UO.

Seconding. !(*@&$'s pretty cool! Bit expensive on occasion, but oh well.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #911 on:** March 10, 2011, 10:48:23 pm »

I'm hoping to find my cosplay waiting for me when I get home from work tonight (which won't be until around 2am

). It should be here between now and Pi Day.

Naruchan · « **Reply #912 on:** March 10, 2011, 11:19:13 pm »

O3O
just saying.
I bought Fabric for my Nana cosplay.

Pretty excited fo dis shiz, I must say!

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #913 on:** March 11, 2011, 07:24:07 pm »

I just have one more edge to add to Kokonoe's bracelets, then I need to add another layer if needed. Then I get to put the beveled pieces on and let that sit before sanding it. I'll probably do that tonight, and finally cut out the pieces for the jacket so I can see how much extra fabric I'll need to buy for the sleeves.

Then tomorrow I can go over to my mom's and start sewing!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #914 on:** March 11, 2011, 09:58:35 pm »

I started making props for N today. I am making two pokeballs and working on the necklace the round bracelet and the rubix cube looking thing.

StarryShay · « **Reply #915 on:** March 11, 2011, 10:41:02 pm »

♥Got my Chie wig.

♥Sent Dana the money for my Chie cosplay.

♥Sneding the money for my Stocking wig tomorrow.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #916 on:** March 12, 2011, 12:10:47 am »

Bought my wig for B&W heroine. It's really cute. I have the shirt and shorts, I just need to hit up goodwill for some hiking boots, and a possible jacket. Then the hat. :]

Also, started finally cutting out fabric and remembered that I hate my scissors because they're freaking dull as all hell. Tomorrow I'm going to goodwill, so I'll just bring my fabric and steal one of my mom's scissors.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #917 on:** March 12, 2011, 01:02:11 am »

Nerk..
So like.. I work on cosplay..just not one for Sakuracon xDDD -Shot'd- though I might bring it who knows.
It's super cute I think.

<-need to curl and paint hat

<-need to paint more and black lines.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #918 on:** March 12, 2011, 02:25:36 am »

5 yards for $5 at Wallmart. X3
Got 15 yards so I can start working on some Cosplays.
Forgot to get some black though. :/ Hopefully I'll be able to get back before it's all gone.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #919 on:** March 12, 2011, 09:49:20 am »

My pokeballs should be done by tomorrow. I am still waiting for the red part to dry. I also want to work more on the other props but I wont be able to till later tonight. Stupid work DX

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #920 on:** March 12, 2011, 10:35:20 am »

Maybe this is my own ignorance, but can't you just buy pokeballs? It seems like it'd be easier than painting half a ball red and giving it a belt design, and possibly cheaper.

Tobis A Good Boy · « **Reply #921 on:** March 12, 2011, 11:21:52 am »

Blah as far as cosplay progress goes I'm at the very bottom, I've only really gotten one thing done which Is make Harleys ribbons out of clay for my pokemon cosplay, and seeing as the people who I bought my wig from sent me a blue one instead of purple I still have no wig.

....I just realized I also started cutting my Yumi wig too...so maybe I'm not at the complete bottom.

Unless you know of some that are more than an inch big, those things are hard to find and expensive.

I just looked for awhile.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #923 on:** March 12, 2011, 04:33:02 pm »

Working on the street signs for my Shizuo cosplay. This one is 'No Overtaking', and I'm also putting '60kmph' on the pole.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #924 on:** March 12, 2011, 05:52:12 pm »

@Vampire-k - No idea; not into Pokemon, so I don't even try to look. I have some friends who might know...

You can but they look like toys. I want one that looks more realistic. Plus the only part I am painting on mine is the black part. And there are two sizes of the pokeball. The compact size and the normal size which is between a baseball and a softball (which is almost impossible to find). Plus I have gotten to the stage where I want to make as much as I can. There is also a rubix cube out there where the middle box is missing but I rather make it then buy one.

nyahaha · « **Reply #926 on:** March 12, 2011, 10:48:00 pm »

Bought the fur fabric for Miku's legs and the dress fabric for her, too, today. I'm not sure if I can work on it at all tomorrow though.
I want to go return bottles tomorrow so I can look for shoes and pants for the faun legs, but I don't know if I'll have time for that either.

By realistic, do you mean metallic? Aren't they supposed to be made out of metal, or something?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #928 on:** March 14, 2011, 12:08:11 pm »

I don't know if they are made of metal but the toy ones look cheap and crappy. Mine so far looks great and professional looking

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #929 on:** March 14, 2011, 01:22:04 pm »

Totally sculpting replacement arrows for Vaclav : D

I've only got the pointy bits done at the mo', but if I just got off my arse and worked I could probably finish them relatively quickly.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #930 on:** March 14, 2011, 01:41:34 pm »

Okay, non-cheap looking; that makes sense to me. (Sorry, but I always thought that the outer part of the pokeballs looked like they'd be made out of some tough, high-quality plexiglass, or something).

nikkiolie · « **Reply #931 on:** March 14, 2011, 08:16:16 pm »

I finished my pokeball and made a woobat.

I may do some touch ups to the pokeball later.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #932 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:10:30 pm »

Dang...what did you make Pigbat out of? It looks really good.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #933 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:12:03 pm »

some fluffy blue fabric, pink fleece, and black pleather.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #934 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:13:41 pm »

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #935 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:23:39 pm »

Tifa is on her way to done, thanks to my friend Chelsea. Just need to hem the shirt, make the boots and gloves, get the wig, and the wig and hairtie xDD But the skirt and shirt are just about done, and that's the important parts! n.n;;;

The body fits in the palm of my hand. 13 inches from wing to wing and 5 inches tall.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #937 on:** March 14, 2011, 11:51:10 pm »

So I worked on Kokonoe's jacket some today at my mom's. I didn't get much done because I was both distracted and tired, but I'm going again tomorrow and should have the skeleton of the jacket done. I just need to pick up more fabric for the sleeves while I'm out and figure out how I'm doing those.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #938 on:** March 15, 2011, 01:22:55 pm »

The button looks like you could actually push it down; nice job, nikki.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #939 on:** March 15, 2011, 01:34:53 pm »

So I finally got my wig from Ayanamisatoru. I will say that their shipping time is atrocious, but OH MY GOD THIS IS THE SOFTEST WIG I HAVE EVER TOUCHED.

I just need to do something about my eyebrows when I wear this outfit, 'cuz dang. They absolutely do not go with the color of this wig.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #940 on:** March 15, 2011, 01:42:52 pm »

^ Oooooo... pretty...

I'm still waiting for my Lina costume. It is now "officially" late, which the site did say that tends to happen with international shipping.

Shadow · « **Reply #941 on:** March 15, 2011, 01:52:51 pm »

Still ordering more tactical pieces for Hit-Girl, and trying to get my commissioner to email me back with some info on the status of the costume. I hate it when I have to be the one to ask how things are going. I think it's unprofessional. And makes me nervous. :/

ANYWAYS.

How 'bout a list?

- 2 Bianchi M12 holsters
- Lemon smoke grenade
~~- Military suspenders~~
- Brass knuckles
- HK USP compact
- SIG-Sauer P230
~~- Belt keepers~~
~~- Military belt~~
- Knife sheath for S&W boot knife *eBay issues*
~~- 2 Baton rings~~

And that's just the tactical accessories. Not even counting the actual costume. Peace bonding's going to have heart failure. :B

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #942 on:** March 15, 2011, 02:16:34 pm »

They'll probably cut their losses and just put a peacebond on your wrist or something.

Shadow · « **Reply #943 on:** March 15, 2011, 02:24:25 pm »

That's what I'm hoping for. :B

Oh and I'll have the Mindy Stick too. And a butterfly knife.

So like this:

Went to Joanns today to do some window shopping and fabric investigating. Successful venture. There were quite a few that I liked. <3 Now I just need to get some money. XD Also picked up an application, hope they hire me!!

So I have until Sakuracon to finish 2 commissions and 1 and a half of my own costumes...

At least I get $$$ from it </3

I'm sorry baby... I'll make sure to leave lipstick kisses on the cash.

Working on cosplay stuff right now because I can not sleep and am freaked out that Sakuracon is so close.

Dude, Richie, that Matsumoto wig is goygeous.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #947 on:** March 17, 2011, 01:00:25 am »

Ohmaigawd I knoooooow. It's so silky soft and I can't wait to wear it at Sakuracon.

Only thing I don't like about it is that the hairline is a little derp. It's sort of severe. If I absolutely have to I can fix that with some spirit gum and a lot of patience, but it would be such a bitka to take off again that it probably wouldn't be worth it.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #948 on:** March 17, 2011, 01:06:23 am »

Actually where did you get that wig? I am in love with the color <3

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #949 on:** March 17, 2011, 01:19:38 am »

greatarchy09 is the name of the eBay store, but it's Ayanamisatoru wigs. I didn't spring for faster shipping and so it took over a month for it to get to me, but I'm happy with what I got. They're a little more expensive than CosplayWig, but the fiber of my Matsumoto wig is so freaking soft ohemgee :3
