I am painting some of my armor now. I think it is going to look great when it is done :3

StarryShay · « **Reply #1504 on:** May 01, 2011, 08:16:25 pm »

Styled my Nia wig some more.

WHY CAN'T IT JUST TURN INTO CLOUDS ALREADY?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1505 on:** May 01, 2011, 08:21:59 pm »

you should just cut out construction paper clouds and attach them to the wig 8D

Shay, use cotton balls. Cotton balls everywhere..

I love you Shay :3

The armor looks great so far. I got the black painted and the gold on the underside painted. Tomorrow I will paint the gold trim on two of the big parts. I think tomorrow I will cut out the back and breast plates.

do what i did to mine! get a brush with thick bristles like this one: http://perfumela.com/images/full5/HairBrushSoft6211.jpg
and brush it out gently (it's okay that wig is THICK and a lot of strands will come out, but it will still be super thick lol)

and once you are down, run some hair oil or w/e through it. and it will be super bouncy and nice

StarryShay · « **Reply #1510 on:** May 02, 2011, 06:40:32 am »

I don't want to get rid of the curls though :C

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #1511 on:** May 02, 2011, 02:09:52 pm »

I think you should keep the curls, myself.

Update: I've got my money back! I'm going to go to the possible flag store that (forgotten name) theorized existed nearby the Applebee's that's next to the Lloyd Center Mall. Hooray for Liechtenstein!

luvan1me · « **Reply #1512 on:** May 02, 2011, 04:57:50 pm »

let me take pics of the wig now >3> after sitting forever. it doesn't lose it's curls, it just looks more bouncy, and you can always get them curled up again with them curlers (no heat btw)

and if you want them to have more of a cluster bounce, you would need to fluff it up with the brush and the blow dryer on low heat.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1513 on:** May 02, 2011, 09:02:30 pm »

Just wanted to say, you guys are all awesome and are all very talented, even you who purchase your cosplay.

Today is really a depressing day, and I figured a little love towards the well deserving might help anyone else who's got a case of the glooms.
But days like today will eventually evolve into something better. Or... dare I say... they will... bellossom?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1514 on:** May 02, 2011, 09:25:21 pm »

Here is a progress shot of my armor so far. I am going to make it a little shinny since the material I have for the black dress part is a little shinny.

Honestly, eBay and PayPal have been pissing me off lately. I've been more forgiving of eBay, because they seem like they care enough to help out, but PayPal can go to Hell, as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for the link, bunny. I'm going to check it out real quick, then I'll be logging off, because my shift is about to start.

Update: This particular provider only accepts PayPal.

I found one that's based in Kelso

and I'm hoping to contact them to see if they'd be willing to accept a credit card payment or something else.

I tried to say something nice to you guys, but it got ignored. Oh well, I guess.

Debating on buying wigs soon. Probably won't happen. For you Germany cosplayers, what wigs did you guys use?

luvan1me · « **Reply #1520 on:** May 03, 2011, 12:34:48 am »

Fair enough

Just so long as it made someone smile. I might not post a lot on this particular thread, but there's a reason why I lurk.

I'd post more if I had progress of my own. ^^;

luvan1me · « **Reply #1522 on:** May 03, 2011, 12:53:52 am »

yeah same :/ most of my progress won't be happening till the summer

and i really do love it when people post encouraging messages. it really helps the struggling artist through the tough times

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1523 on:** May 03, 2011, 01:02:46 am »

Well, thanks!

I look forward to your updates.

luvan1me · « **Reply #1524 on:** May 03, 2011, 01:08:12 am »

and even though we may seem to "ignore" your comments, we aren't. we are just so moved that we don't know what to say (or we are busy doing our "progress" XD)

And it made me smile. :DDD Like luvan1me I probs won't have much time to work on my cosplay until summer, even though I have all of the stuff for it right now. XD

That's some progress I guess, I have EVERYTHING I need for Miku except 3 packages of brass/gold snaps. >_< I have a feeling I won't be able to do any other cosplays for Kcon just because the design I've come up with is going to be very labor intensive. XP I might cut off my hair and do a simple Paprika for the dances and downtime though. That'll give me an excuse to skip everywhere. hahaha

Taras' shirt needs one more belt loop and it's done. His belt just needs the belt buckle and it's done. I also managed to completely remove the ahoge from his wig, so now that lays flat. Pictures when I finish things.

Then I get to start on his coat, joy of joys. Should be interesting, to say the least.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1533 on:** May 04, 2011, 09:49:04 am »

^LT Looks niiiiiiice!
(my fav will forever be the stilts though, ahhh memories)

been planning all week on stuff, finally got a full detailed design of my dream cosplay done, as well as picked out the wig, and made a list of how much this is gonna cost me.

it may not seem like much but it sure is a heck of a lot to me xD

(though granted it now means I have pages and pages in my note book for spanish /just/ about this one cosplay...)

Shadow · « **Reply #1534 on:** May 04, 2011, 11:25:53 am »

Trying to get back to focusing on Hit-Girl now that Sakuracon's over. I've emailed the commissioner about what needs to be fixed, and am getting worried that I haven't heard back from him. :/ I'll be sending him another email today. Ignoring me is not an option here.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1535 on:** May 04, 2011, 11:33:52 am »

Shadow: slight off topic but were you at zombie walk 2010? because I could have sworn I hugged a hatter that looked exactly like you

Yep! I was at the Zombie Walk with our Hatter. (I wasn't Hatter, I went as bloody Sweeney

)

On topic: For Hit-Girl so far I've got the mask, cape, boots, gloves, wig, kilt, and the tactical stuff all ready. What needs to be fixed by my commissioner is the jacket, pants, and belt. Big parts of the costume. :/ Hoping I'll get a reply soon, because the sooner I can get this ready to go and don't have to deal with said commissioner again the better.

I was just going to do her normal outfit because it would be easy enough to buy the stuff in stores/goodwill. XD It doesn't have to be ruined! I don't even know if I'll do it or not! I've spent the last year and a half growing out my hair, and I like all the stuff I can do with it, but it's just such a pain in the butt.

It would be fun to get people with all of her outfits together though!

veraca · « **Reply #1538 on:** May 04, 2011, 01:54:47 pm »

No progress from me. I've been staring at my Simon wig going: how the heck do I cut it shorter?
All my glue and everything is at home... All I have here are clips, pins and scissors.... Not even a towel for the hair to fall on.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1539 on:** May 04, 2011, 11:21:39 pm »

Bought pants for Taras that can double as my pants for Gavrill. Also, my contacts and wig for Gavrill shipped and should be here in about two weeks.

23 DAYS TO FANIME OH GOD GOTTA FINISH TARAS FFFFFFFFF- wish I could finish Gavrill instead because I'm gonna bake in California in Taras but IDEGAF.

Dubaby · « **Reply #1540 on:** May 04, 2011, 11:42:37 pm »

Made a big decision today about my Terra cosplay for my Teen titans group..... There are various issues I'm having with having to show my midriff, and lets be honest yellow spandex is just really unflattering, so I decided instead of her normal outfit to do her version she wears later in the series when she goes all "Villian Mode."

I started planning out how to pull this off, and screencapped reference pics like a mofo today, but if anyone has any tips on how (what to use) to make the chest piece for her I'd be really happy. =]

XD I mean, like I said, I haven't completely decided. hahaha. We'll see how I feel in August. I think it would be super fun to get several paprikas together for either a small get together during con or just at the dances.

Yes, that website says that that Saiyuki movie was from 1978.

pretty hilarious looking movie. XD
