Hey, Sailor Moon thread! Hey, fellow Moonies. I'll be back this year as manga version Mistress 9, so count one more for the baddies. I'm currently remaking her - I want to get an even longer wig, and am almost done with a new skirt.

As for photoshoot time, I vote for Sunday (day 2).

NOWAY! Mistress 9?! That would be amazing!
And you're pictures are also great! You're an awesome Mistress 9!

Okay! So I thought I might as well post in here, for several people and myself.
As long as our funds are good, we plan to do the princess dresses.

Myself will be Princess Uranus.
KinkyFriedChicken will be Princess Neptune.
Frozen Light will be Princess Pluto.
And two of my cousins, who are not on the forums, will possibly be Princess Saturn and Princess Mars.

SM RPG Update!

Since this weekend is when I have to submit at least a notice and range of days/times on the entry form I plan on putting the Sailor Moon RPG session on either Day 1 in the afternoon/evening so that everyone who didn't pre-reg can get through registration, or Day 2 in the evening after the cosplay contest.

the_wind_the_sea · « **Reply #110 on:** June 04, 2011, 09:58:18 am »

So... Potentially I will have a Queen Serenity costume done for Kumori-Con. I just need to get off my butt and start it.

So I'm trying to have a Sailor Moon Photoshoot after the Panel or the RPG session.
SHould I make another thread so we can talk about it somewhere else and not spam everyone

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #113 on:** June 06, 2011, 02:52:30 pm »

i thought thats when we were planing this one?o.o?

I thought so as well

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #115 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:38:14 pm »

sooooo why not plan it that way?

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #116 on:** June 06, 2011, 09:36:01 pm »

So right after the panel sounds good. We'd all be in one place and in costume. Same goes for the RPG, but I think after that we'd all be a little tired. It sounds like it's gonna be pretty long. Maybe wait until we have a definite time for the panel and then schedule it right after? When do we usually get the schedule released?

Dark_Magician_Girl16 · « **Reply #117 on:** June 06, 2011, 09:37:15 pm »

i wanted to pop in randomly and say that theres a good chance that i wont be going to Kumori con. College is gonna be starting up in Septembet and i will be putting a lot of time to it. i dont think i will be able to make it to Kumori >.<

but i hope everyone else has an awesome time =D

If you haven't already, I'd recommend doing so, simply because this thread is supposed to be about the cosplaying of the characters.

I'm going to look into getting fabric samples here during this week and taking them to my "taylor" for her input, as well as getting measured! (I'll have to remember to bring my bra and breasts for that...)

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #123 on:** June 28, 2011, 03:18:30 pm »

With all my extra fabric laying around I was thinking of making Sailor Jupiter, Venus, or Mars (Maybe all three cause I have enough fabric for each).
But I was curious which version to make? Regular, Super, or Eternal? I don't really know which would fit in best or if I should make the base leotard and then made the parts that change able to be switched out. (Which would be the butt bow, chest gem, skirt, shoulder pieces, and collar.)

For those of you who can't mentally visualize the changes, here are some Jupiter examples.
Regular Super Eternal

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #124 on:** June 28, 2011, 05:50:37 pm »

i say super its the prettyest. also the being able to change the pieces is nice but can be a pain if you do it wrong the first time good luck!

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #125 on:** June 28, 2011, 06:25:58 pm »

From the first post, it looks like most of us are going Regular but a fair few are going Super. I didn't see anyone doing Eternal, so that might be cool if you want to stand out. It looks like we've got regular Jupiter and Venus and Super Mars so far.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #126 on:** June 28, 2011, 09:54:02 pm »

Do eternal!!!
I find them (minus the puffy sleeves) the best

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #127 on:** June 28, 2011, 11:11:44 pm »

I would do Sailor Mercury (I have fabric for her, too) but I don't really have a wig for her...
I have a short light blue wig but it's not the most accurate even though it was titled as a Mercury wig when I got it way back when.

So I guess it's really which of the four inner senshi and then which version to main. XP
I kinda like the two skirts of Eternal. But the other two are more recognizable. DX

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #128 on:** June 29, 2011, 12:20:19 am »

MERCURY. XD You can always dye and cut the wig, and last we checked she and Pluto were the only ones we were missing to have a complete set (and then some).

And I think Eternal is plenty recognizable. People might not know exactly which version it is, but I think anyone at an anime convention who saw someone in an Eternal costume would know it was a senshi.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #129 on:** June 29, 2011, 12:27:03 am »

Here's a more accurate length shot with my puppy. XP

I've never cut or dyed a wig though. Plus, this wig is about five years old and was the first one I ever bought. The fibers keep falling out if you run your hands through it and it's very fragile. So I don't want to make it worse. D:
Would it be able to withstand all the treatment?

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #130 on:** June 29, 2011, 01:12:54 am »

Hmmm...if it's that old and in that poor shape, I'm not sure. But if you think it could work, cutting wigs is quite easy, you just have to take it slowly. And it looks like all you'd really have to do is take it up a little in the back, it's pretty close to the right length. Really, the main thing to remember when cutting wigs (and hair in general) is to not just cut straight across unless you're trying to make it really severely straight at the bottom. You need to cut upwards more; I'm sure there are tutorials around that can explain it better than I am. ^^;

I've never dyed a wig either, but from what I've heard, Sharpie dyeing is pretty simple (although time consuming) and I've seen some very good results. I can dig up a thread about it I found on Cosplay.com if you want. You can do it while you watch TV XD. It might be a better idea than traditional dyeing too because you can be gentler with your wig.

...Sorry if that wasn't altogether coherent, it's ~~late~~early.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #131 on:** June 29, 2011, 10:25:42 am »

....that short one looks pretty good to me though i cant tell on my crappy computer.

queen beryl is coming along nicely. im so excited with how well i did the dress n.n

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #132 on:** June 29, 2011, 03:01:54 pm »

It does look like it could use a little trimming, but the color looks okay.

Tomecko · « **Reply #133 on:** July 02, 2011, 10:50:11 pm »

Mistress 9 update! My new (super-dee-duper long) wig came, so I threw everything together for a progress shot. I still need to string some more pearls for the arms and hem my skirt (which I'm still not completely happy with... stretch knit fits nice, but doesn't have that nice dressy look).

Chelseahavoc - Ooo, you're remaking Beryl? Does you haz progress pics?

WashougalOtaku - I think that wig would work just fine for Mercury! Although you'd make a great Jupiter, Venus, or Mars, too. It would be cool to have one basic leotard with interchangeable parts for each scout, although the difference between Sailor/Supersailor and Eternal is that Eternal doesn't have the under-bust seam, like the other two transformations.

I've noticed we haven't had much in the way of Eternal scouts (except for one amazing Eternal Sailor Moon at K-con '09)! We should all plan on an Eternal group one of these years. I'm planning to make my Eternal Sailor Saturn in the next year or two, and I even got my non-anime-loving friend to agree to be my Eternal Sailor Pluto for a day. I already got her wig, it's the most beautiful color!

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #134 on:** July 03, 2011, 09:41:15 am »

YOUR MISTRESS 9 IS SO PRETTY! But I would hate to have to take care of that wig

It would be fun to do a whole stars group, Eternal Senshi the Starlights, Princess Kakyuu, Galaxia, and ChibiChibi

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #135 on:** July 03, 2011, 09:50:50 am »

well seeing how me and lychee are considering starlights sometime in the next couple years i'd love to be yaten for that (freaking love him...her.... it.... i know hes a her but the anime is sooo confusing....) and we did have a kakyuu last year she was very pretty....

yes i have A progress pic (from when i first started on the dress. ) http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=230648556955919&set=a.210873532266755.57192.100000323281526&type=1&theater

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #139 on:** July 04, 2011, 08:34:55 pm »

I'm still unsure of who I'm going to do but I put a question up on facebook and I'm going to see what people want to see most.
And a friend asked if she could do Mercury with me if I don't do her. XP

But tomorrow I'm going to make the base leotard and the base of the gloves.
I'm also going to head to Wallmart or Joanns and get some elastic for the skirt(s). I'm probably going to go through with the interchangeable pieces. For the chest seam I'm going to make a piece of chest armor to go over the leotard for Regular and Super that can just be slipped off for Eternal. Skirts will be elastic skirts probably with an added attachment feature such as Velcro or snaps. The shoulders and sailor collar will Velcro on. Bows will be either snaps or broach pins.
I need to scope out where I can get some clay to make the tiara and find some stuff to make gems.

Tomecko · « **Reply #140 on:** July 04, 2011, 11:49:29 pm »

Strung some pearls today, and picked up some stretch satin to try and remake the skirt. This'll be the fourth time I try to make a Mistress 9 skirt that I'm happy with. Bah!

Wrath Chan - Aw, thanks! And yes, the wig is hell. I'm afraid to move in it, even just to take a WIP shot.

Gryffinclaw Princess - Good idea! I saw a Super Sailor Moon who had a 'chest armor' piece, it looked really good. Sometimes if the seam is just sewn, the line is so subtle that it looks like an Eternal leotard anyways. Let us know what you find for gems, I'm scared to try resin casting (I hear it smells awful), but I'll need to be making various black and purple stars for Eternal Saturn and Pluto soon.
Also, that Disney princess pic is awesome, except for no Saturn!

Who is the girl who's being Uranus? I don't recognize her. And they left out Cinderella... _{(she has stupid hair anyways)}

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #141 on:** July 04, 2011, 11:53:36 pm »

Will do! ^^
Hopefully I won't be as sick tomorrow so I can actually leave the house. DX

I think that is supposed to be Cinderella...? [/shrug]
I think they just altered her hair a bit to fit or something.

-
I'm thinking maybe doing Eternal Sailor Saturn, but I don't know if I should. Should I stay with Super? I love the puffy sleeves but I don't know if I have the time to make the whole thing with my Valkyria cosplay taking up so of my time DX
If I can't work on it at all, I'll just wear my normal Saturn cosplay I bought offline a few years ago.
It's a good thing I ordered it bigger than I was back when I was twelve XD Also I might be Hotaru Tomoe in her black outfit thing, when she's not in her school uniform or a senshi xP

Haaa, Tuxedo Eric. That would be good.

kimiski - Shoe troubles? School shoes, or the red high heels of justice?

rofflz - Judging from your sig, you're gonna be busy making armor. Yeesh! That looks complex. Black-outfit Hotaru would be super easy, if you need a break. Heck, I could probably 'closet cosplay' that myself right now.

Yeah, the armor may devour a lot of my time, but since I've started already... I should have time for S.S.saturn XD
At least I'll try xP If not I have a back up Saturn cosplay.
The only thing of mine that could be part of a Hotaru closet cosplay would be the tights/leggings XD

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #149 on:** July 07, 2011, 02:01:30 pm »

You know what would be a dream come true for me?
Getting perfect height sailor scouts who can do pretty close to exact replicas and getting a photoshoot. X3
That would just make my world. :'D
