@ichigo: I used Simplicity 5006, but altered it a bit. I tend to do that. XD Thanks!

@Richie: Thanks! Once that leather's done and the rest of that costume is done, I'm sure you'll look fabulous!

That corset is seriously amazing. color me jelly XD

i also made a really crappy bracelet for Lili from Psychonauts who I plan to cosplay next year. Might as well get started early!

Got more carving on my cross punisher done. It's starting to look great. And the foam I used is so light weight I can lift it with one finger....love this stuff.

My raichu dress is almost done. I tried in on yesterday and its very......orange XD

I bought pants, some white fluff, and a hat.

Status update on my cosplays:

... from Hanna is Not a Boy's name: 85%
Need to style wig and buy face paint

Holy Roman Empire from Hetalia: 15%
Easier to list what I have done than to list what I need to do. I've got an unstyle wig, a cape to be altered, pants, boots, a shirt, and a cravat.

Chromophobic · « **Reply #2260 on:** August 09, 2011, 07:36:38 pm »

Soooooo....
I got my Sebastian white gloves. They look pretty good. Now what I need to do is figure out what I'm gonna do with my tray (decoration wise...). I've thought of a tea set, dinner set, cookies, fake food. Still haven't decided on which one.... (My Ciel wants cookies for her to eat on through out the day, but I'm afraid that I'll be stalked the whole time by people if I carry around a tray of cookies...)

Also for his hair, I've decided not to use a wig and to go ahead and dye my hair since it is the length and style of Sebastians. Thought it'd be easier then buying a whole new wig, which my parents are already unhappy I'm spending SO much money on my cosplays. So Sebastian's cosplay progress is at a.... 98 percent.

i got my 'dance tights'..... yeah i think i might have gotten the wrong thing... and how is "light suntan" supersuper tan?

Ritsu-chan · « **Reply #2262 on:** August 09, 2011, 10:01:04 pm »

About your sebby cosplay, maybe cake? Sebastian always has such pretty cakes, but cookies are easier and you can tell people to bug off!

That's a good idea. ^_^ I'm thinking of making fancy cookies to make it look pretty. And try to tell people to bug off. XD

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #2269 on:** August 10, 2011, 07:32:39 am »

I suppose that this counts as progress: the costume that I ordered through eBay has FINALLY posted a tracking number!

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #2270 on:** August 10, 2011, 11:30:56 am »

Finally got around to ordering my Uranus wig, so I'm just hoping it gets here in time. :/ I think it will, though. And I started work on the gloves for Uranus. So I have to finish those, finish the main body of the leotard, make the hip and shoulder rolls, sew everything together and buy dance tights. Feeling the time crunch, but I'm not super worried. May spend my birthday party sewing, though. XD

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2271 on:** August 10, 2011, 02:24:24 pm »

Maybe I should start posting in here more again...

For some reason I always get the urge to work on cosplays not for that con I should be working on :| I was cleaning my kitchen and decided to dye this burgundy wig I had brown to see if it would work for a cosplay I'm doing, and it did!

So wig and bad makeup test for Rigby from Regular Show which I'll probably be doing at Akicon. My boyfriend is gonna be Mordacai. I was told on facebook that I look like a guy so that pleases me

I think I'm going to go darker with all of my makeup when I try again though.

WE GONNA PARTY

@chromophobic. Yeah thats a great idea and place them on a doilie maybe~ ooh fancy sebas-chan^^ lol good luck, i'm sure you'll look great! I'm gonna try and steal your cookies now to see if you say bug off!

Chromophobic · « **Reply #2273 on:** August 10, 2011, 04:11:26 pm »

@Ritsu: Ha ha! XD Well I'm sure if you're very nice to me, I'll give you a cookie. =D

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #2274 on:** August 10, 2011, 04:25:47 pm »

I finally finished my Sweden shirt the other day ^^ All i need now are his pants and some sort of accessory for my Italy cosplay.

I know how you feeeeeeeel. I still have a fair ways to go on my Uranus cosplay, but instead of sewing for her, a couple nights ago I made Thorns of Oglogoth for a Rose Lalonde from Homestuck cosplay I'm gonna do next year, probably for freakin' Sakuracon.

nyahaha · « **Reply #2276 on:** August 10, 2011, 05:02:37 pm »

Got my Beatrice wig on Monday, Skylar's letting me borrow a hair rose for it, and I finished Kneesocks' skirt today! I'm hoping to get the Jacket done tomorrow. And I'll put up pics soon of all my progress. I also got all my fabric for Beatrice! Now I just gotta wait for my patterns I want to go on sale.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2278 on:** August 10, 2011, 06:28:02 pm »

Total last minute cosplay that I am hoping wont cost too much. I think the most expensive thing will be the shoes >_>

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #2279 on:** August 10, 2011, 06:51:37 pm »

I got the fake roses for my hat and I am going to finish that this weekend.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2280 on:** August 10, 2011, 06:56:09 pm »

Made my skirt for Anaru from Anohana. Pretty much the bottom half of the cosplay is done, I just need to put another hole in the belt while I'm at work tomorrow. Also enjoy my cat.

Tranny · « **Reply #2281 on:** August 10, 2011, 08:27:24 pm »

@Boogie: You are teh sex and you cat...•w• so cute~

Chromophobic · « **Reply #2282 on:** August 10, 2011, 08:36:31 pm »

Well.. I can't get color eye contacts for my Sebastian cosplay, sadly. But oh well. Maybe next time.

BUT, I seem to have gotten the makeup down pretty well. I've been experimenting with it a lot and I got his eye brows okay and the shadowing of the lip to give off his signature smirk okay as well. ^_^ I may post pictures later.

HOT. Seriously.

So apparently I'm going to be Medusa for con. A friend is getting me the wig(which he really shouldn't be) and I have pants for her. I just need to make the top, easy peezy.

And Mooglow is close to being finished. At least the sewing parts. The rest is just some gluing and buying.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #2284 on:** August 11, 2011, 06:59:17 am »

Based off of what the seller has provided, I should be getting my Neptune cosplay between the 24th and the 30th. I know it's quite a range, but just so long as it does get here before September, I'll be quite pleased!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #2285 on:** August 11, 2011, 10:18:15 am »

Fear the awesome power of my scalemail making abilities.

Rawr.

Still have to do the back and then the pants. If I have time I'll worry about the sleeves, but I highly doubt I will. If the armor doesn't get finished before Kumo I'm not going to stress out over it and I'll just bring a different cosplay instead. I'll let this one go until Sakuracon. I'll probably have to, honestly.

nyahaha · « **Reply #2286 on:** August 11, 2011, 11:10:28 am »

How? Just how did you do that? It looks amazing!

bunny_jean · « **Reply #2287 on:** August 11, 2011, 11:15:40 am »

Also, holy cleavage, Batman. XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #2288 on:** August 11, 2011, 11:19:03 am »

That's some pretty fantastic work there, Richie. And once again, I have no clue how you do what you do, lol.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #2289 on:** August 11, 2011, 11:27:14 am »

By hand, one scale at a time. It's tedious as hell but it's looking good

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #2290 on:** August 11, 2011, 12:26:04 pm »

im starting on supermaid cop rukia tonight! i hope i can finish it in time for kcon but if i cant its not the end of the world

Chromophobic · « **Reply #2291 on:** August 11, 2011, 03:16:49 pm »

Well I just got my hair cut to be like Sebastian's hair. All I need to do is get it dyed. ^_^

Ritsu-chan · « **Reply #2292 on:** August 11, 2011, 04:41:34 pm »

@chromo I'll be super sweet, cookieee^^ hahaha

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #2293 on:** August 11, 2011, 06:14:50 pm »

Stocking blouse~ I have to sew on a few details and iron and then take in the waist and I'm done! Then I gotta sew my mini hat and add the bows to my skirt and Stocking is DONE.

I tried painting socks and it was a disaster, so I have to deal with that too.

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #2294 on:** August 11, 2011, 07:07:47 pm »

Fleur, this is off topic but I love your hair.

I sewed the hip roll, the bottom half of the leotard and the rolls for the gloves. I'll have six hours in the car tomorrow, so that's when I'm going to hand sew the gloves, since they're too finicky to do on my machine. I plan to finish the main body of the leotard tonight, so I'll just have to make the shoulder rolls and then attach everything. I'm going to buy dance tights when I get home from vacation and cross my fingers that my wig gets here on time (According to the store I bought it from, it's guaranteed to come by Day 2 of con, which is when I need it for. So worst comes to worst I spend a few hours of Day 2 wigless. Which would suck, but it's better than not having a wig at all, I suppose.)

I think I'm dropping Susan, she's just not working out. I could have her done in time, but it wouldn't be something I was proud of. To do her right, I'd really need to buy a new wig (don't have the money) and find a different shirt (won't have the time).

Vaguely related, I finally found my badge. It had been AWOL for about a week but it resurfaced this morning and many sighs of relief were breathed.

nyahaha · « **Reply #2295 on:** August 11, 2011, 08:11:00 pm »

Got all the fabric cut out for Kneesocks' jacket. It took alot longer than I thought because I had to iron it all first. I'll sew it all together tomorrow. Also tomorrow I'm hopefully ordering all or most of the things I need.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #2296 on:** August 11, 2011, 08:14:13 pm »

Worked on making Barret's waist-guard today. Made some satisfactory progress (which primarily consisted of measuring craft foam, cutting craft foam, gluing craft foam, and repeating steps 1-3 for 7 hours). Tomorrow I should be able to finish putting the last craft foam bits on, then comes the Mod Podge....sooooo much to seal!

bunny_jean · « **Reply #2297 on:** August 11, 2011, 08:31:34 pm »

My kitchen is almost clean, which means that I can almost dye lace! I think I'll probably end up dying all of my lace tonight or tomorrow because I'm sure I will be too busy sewing over the next three weeks to keep it as clean as it will be. XD;

Serah Farron's boots are complete!

Woot!

They look great ookami!~

I just got my harley boots in yesterday now I have to break them in. and costumes will hopefully start getting worked on Saturday and Sunday -w-
