Seychelles wig had arrived, though I gotta go pick it up, and finished Jeanne d'Arc's cloak. n.n Gonna start the shirt tomorrow, just making a basic tunic for it~.

FINALLY got a reply back from my commissioner! Hit-Girl should be finished next week! SO FREAKING EXCITE.

Also ordered my new Sweeney belt! After it gets here then I'll just have to weather it a bit.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #953 on:** March 17, 2011, 04:34:42 pm »

So the ponytail on my Keiji wig is so crazy long oh my god but I don't want to cut it.

PIC SPAMMMMMMMMM

My Shizuo wig (I swear it's not this yellow in regular light :O)

EXTREME MYSPACE ANGLE KEIJI

dat ponytail

Also PiggyNukka I know you wanna see your wigs too but I'm not gonna take them out of the bags but I'm so jelly of this color oh my god

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #954 on:** March 17, 2011, 04:58:19 pm »

Ahhhhh, love the color of your Shizuo wig <3

Oh thank you for taking pictures for me Richie :>
How dark would you say that green is btw? I was planning on dying it with some blue to use it for this http://images.wikia.com/scottpilgrim/images/8/87/Ramona-Flowers.png but it looks way darker then the image on Taobao, the blond one looks way darker too actually so I'm hoping it's just the lighting, hahaha.

Also don't worry if they are darker, I can still use the blond one for a ton of **** and I have my old Ramona Flowers wig that I don't mind using for Sakuracon and I can use the green one for when I do Matryoshka Gumi if it's as dark as I think it is.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #955 on:** March 17, 2011, 05:02:54 pm »

The lighting is making the blond one really red for some reason. But it's just the right color for that figma I saw you were doing the outfit for.

The green is just about the color you see right there in the picture. It did look much lighter on the taobao site, but it's got some blue strands in it so you might be able to make it that teal color. I don't dye many wigs D:

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #956 on:** March 17, 2011, 05:08:51 pm »

If it's that color I don't think there's much I can do with the dying, or at least I wouldn't wanna try. Pooooop I don't blame taobao though, it's seriously super hard to find a wig that is that Seafoamy green with out it being like, actually green. But now I will be cosplaying Gumi sooner then later so Dana will be happy I'm sure, hahaha.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #957 on:** March 17, 2011, 05:18:25 pm »

Yeah. I wish Lucaille had a good Gumi wig, though, 'cause I want to do her Marygold outfit so bad.

At least the black wig turned out to be black. I didn't take a picture of that one because it's about as black as black can get

Naruchan · « **Reply #958 on:** March 17, 2011, 06:02:31 pm »

Purple contacts today!

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #959 on:** March 17, 2011, 09:31:55 pm »

Hey Caitlin when do you think we'll be getting the second order? I can't wait for my Stocking wigs! Also I'll pay you as soon as I can, the bank made the wrong type of account for me ugh so that's pushing back setting up my paypal. But I have the money in cash, it exists.

The wigs are the last piece I need, I received my petticoat today and lol it is SO FREAKING SHORT. Which is perfect because Stocking's skirt is short. Spring break has started for me so I think I'll be able to finish the costume before school starts again! All I need to do is make the skirt, get my blazer back and sew the buttons back on, locate one of my missing shoes, and get the wigs and sew them together. I am so excited for this costume!

And then all I need for Princess Bubblegum is my wig and then once I get it I need to straighten it and cut the bangs and then that costume is done too :D

bunny_jean · « **Reply #960 on:** March 17, 2011, 09:40:26 pm »

FINALLY SPRING BREAK!!! I'm going to start sewing stuff to sell with all of the craploads of fabric I have sitting around so I can make money to buy fabric to make cosplay with! Yay for free time! Which I hardly have any of! EVER!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #961 on:** March 17, 2011, 09:47:57 pm »

Second order will be here about a week and a half after I pay the store.

Which would happen if they would get back to me with a quote asd;fjhalkdjfh if I wake up and there's a quote in my inbox I will note everyone involved in the new order with their total and my paypal address before I even freaking get out of bed.

Wigs should be to everyone about two/three days after I get them in the mail (unless I'm giving them to people at Sakuracon or otherwise).

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #962 on:** March 17, 2011, 11:42:07 pm »

Bahaha! Did some actual progress today. Got all the pieces to Kokonoe's jacket sewn together today. I'm just missing the collar and the sleeves. I need to go to JoAnn's for more fabric since the sleeves are weird and hit up Goodwill for another check on shoes and pants while I'm out.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #963 on:** March 18, 2011, 01:55:45 am »

So I'm suddenly going to Fanime.

Gonna have Taras Doberg done for that or it will kill me. BRING IT ON, PLEATHER COAT WITH RAISED DETAIL. BRING IT ONNNNNNN.

Also I'm bringing Shizuo to Sakuracon instead of Senna.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #964 on:** March 18, 2011, 07:09:46 am »

Okay so I finally got off my lazy ass, and din't sleep XD
I started working at like...2?..no 4...yeah and it's like 7 am now XD
Basically, I haven't slept!
But I got, Black's Jacket done, and I'm about to finish Cheren's Jacket. I'm going to then work on White's bag and wristbands and if I find a shirt, I'll make Cheren's shirt =w=

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #965 on:** March 18, 2011, 12:57:14 pm »

One of my signs for my Shizuo cosplay. Gonna have to touch up the parts where the contact paper pulled off the white paint, but it's lookin' pretty fabulous right now :D

nikkiolie · « **Reply #966 on:** March 18, 2011, 02:51:20 pm »

all my costumes are so close to being done. All that is left for N is the wig and hat, and all that is left for Date is to finish sewing the trim on the sleeves, the details on the back of the jacket, a little paint on the swords, and to make some black wrist cuffs.

meep · « **Reply #967 on:** March 18, 2011, 03:08:35 pm »

SPRING BREAK IS HEREEEEEEE i shall be attempting to finish mostly everything this week

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #968 on:** March 18, 2011, 06:18:09 pm »

Got a lot accomplished today:

-Ordered Russia contacts

AND

-Ordered contacts, make-up, and got a shirt for my HiNaBN Zombie. Now for this cosplay all I need is materials for the white pieces of hair, some tights and/or leggings, and maybe a new pair of knee-high boots.

Naruchan · « **Reply #969 on:** March 18, 2011, 06:49:46 pm »

WHOOO!! GO SANDRO!
8D
I began making my dress for The Sakura con Masqurade today.
So fat, it's looking rather lovely. :'D

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #970 on:** March 19, 2011, 03:26:10 am »

Accomplishment of the day:

Stumbled upon shoes for Kokonoe while looking for boots for Touko. Win.
Also found pants that I'm willing to work with for Kokonoe that look and feel damn comfy. <3

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #971 on:** March 19, 2011, 09:33:29 am »

Bought my Dawn wig and found a watch~!

BUt I have to warn you, I'm a master.... at stepping on peoples feet elegantly.
8D The bodice is nearly done! It's so exciting to see something I designed to be nearly complete! <333

Shadow · « **Reply #974 on:** March 19, 2011, 05:51:40 pm »

Got some stuff in the mail! The tactical component of the costume is coming along great.

Ordered more things today for it, and ended up finding the things I need to make the smoke grenade! Slowly but surely I'm getting closer to getting all the things I need for it.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #975 on:** March 19, 2011, 06:27:58 pm »

The pipe for my street sign for my Shizuo cosplay :D

I had fun putting bends in it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #976 on:** March 19, 2011, 08:30:51 pm »

I didn't see the post for your Keiji wig till now. It looks great. I am so excited to see your Gakuen. I need to finish mine up too. All that is left for the Gakuen version is the black wrist cuffs so I may sew those tonight at my job.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #977 on:** March 19, 2011, 11:06:49 pm »

Productive day of win.

So I went and got the extra fabric for the sleeves and tried to cut one out. Not happy with how it looked, but I'm going to roll with it and see how it looks all put together. If I don't like it, I have the rest of the fabric to try again, so all is well.

I also found a hat for Touko while at JoAnn's. Had to go to Michael's to get fabric paint for it since they were out of the light pink at JoAnn's, but I'm currently waiting for the top part to dry so I can paint the underside and pokeball. :] Also plan on messing up my shorts for Touko tonight.

And finding scissors so I can cut the needed parts off of Kokonoe's shoes and start painting them.

I wish I had pictures to put up, but I don't sadly.

Mew*Haruko · « **Reply #978 on:** March 20, 2011, 02:27:07 am »

Totally found an adorable dress while in a second-hand shop~
Perfect for a Gijinka Mew or Jigglypuff cosplay~
It was only $6. TOTALLY WORTH IT.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #979 on:** March 20, 2011, 02:23:25 pm »

I watched a few episodes of Sengoku Basara season 2 last night so I am extra motivated to work on my jacket today. I am going to try to get that done :3

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #980 on:** March 20, 2011, 03:15:20 pm »

Yeah Nikki, PUT YO GUNS ON :DDD

So I finally got the lump of cement looking like I wanted it to. Hand-carved insulation foam, a metric f***ton of Bondo, some gray spraypaint, some black spraypaint, and a lot of mud. Gonna put it on my pipe tomorrow and hopefully I'll have my signs done by Tuesday at the latest. Then all I'll have to do is get some sunglasses, find a bowtie, make my vest and find some pants and shoes.

@random · « **Reply #981 on:** March 20, 2011, 03:27:57 pm »

^ Nice.

It looks realistic enough that I wouldn't know whether to peacebond it or worry about cheesing off someone who could casually carry it around.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #982 on:** March 20, 2011, 03:32:23 pm »

The jacket is almost done. I plan on putting the whole costume together (minus the swords since they aren't quite done yet) and taking some pictures :3

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #983 on:** March 20, 2011, 06:36:39 pm »

Guess what just needs signs~

I hate waiting for paint to dry. But when it does dry, I'll have a finished weapon for my Shizuo cosplay :DDDDD

I seriously can't wait until Sakuracon.

nyahaha · « **Reply #984 on:** March 20, 2011, 06:44:40 pm »

^You are going to have to tell me your secrets at Sakuracon O_o It's gonna look so great when you're done!

I finished Jiji today~
His legs move, so I can make him stand,

and sit on my shoulder!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #985 on:** March 20, 2011, 06:56:29 pm »

The jacket is done and everything is put together minus the swords. I just need to do a little painting on them and they are done. I didn't take any progress pictures like I said mainly because I have grown to hate progress pictures. That may change once I find someone who actually knows how to take pictures

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #986 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:02:06 pm »

Nyaha, we should totally get pictures at Sakuracon. I'll bring the caution tape.

Also, the cement block is seriously just a block of five or six layers of insulation foam, glued together and then carved into a vaguely cement-esque shape, slathered in bondo, spraypainted gray, spraypainted with some black and then rolled in mud. I should have taken more pictures- I could have made a tutorial.

nyahaha · « **Reply #987 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:05:45 pm »

What day are you cosplaying Shizuo?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #988 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:08:14 pm »

Uh... uh...

Friday for about half the day. Also Sunday. Saturday I'm tied up in things for seriously every waking hour of the day for the cosplay contest and cosplay chess.

nyahaha · « **Reply #989 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:11:04 pm »

Heck yeah! I'm gonna be Kida on Friday. But I don't think I'll get to the con until nine or tenish, and then I have to go get my badge :/

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #990 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:18:47 pm »

Blaaaaaah. If you're in the pre-reg line you hopefully won't have too much of a wait.

Well I was going to be Shizuo later in the day on Friday so I wouldn't have to re-do my binding when I change into Keiji that night. Liek, ttly facebook message me when u get out of liiiiiiiine~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #991 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:20:46 pm »

So you are wearing Keiji at night Friday then? Sounds good I will make sure to change into Gakuen Date. I'm sure by then I will be happy to take the armor off

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #992 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:26:23 pm »

Yeah, I'm wearing Keiji Thursday for pre-reg and Friday night to bum around in.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #993 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:40:37 pm »

Hey I still have our caution tape from Kumoricon. Also I'm willing to take pictures of you guys :3

I have a feeling tonight is the night for late-night cosplay sewing. I'm going to make my Stocking skirt and probably the badge, too.

Maybe I'll wash the shoes I'm using for PB, too.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #994 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:44:56 pm »

I've got a fresh roll in the back of my car in case we run out :'D

I was planing on wearing N Thursday but I think I will wear Date. That way I don't have to redo my hair Friday morning and I will be able to start getting dressed. It doesn't take too long to get into that outfit but normally it takes 15 minutes for me to get ready entirely and it takes about 15 minutes just to get that on without the makeup x.x

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #997 on:** March 21, 2011, 01:13:28 am »

YESSSSSSS.

Lol this skirt is so short and poofy, it's ridiculous looking. Now once I get my blazer back I can sew on the finishing touches and be done with everything but the wig!

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #998 on:** March 21, 2011, 08:18:28 am »

woohoo!!!!

rukias done
rydias done
serinity is only waiting for lining
and i need to sart on beryl xD

...maybe start on beryl next month before i get kittens....

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #999 on:** March 21, 2011, 01:12:37 pm »

One sign down, one to go. This one needs to dry completely before I even think about putting holes in it for the screws. Same with the other one.
