Rei Hino is pretty much done. Got the main pieces, got my haircut (no wig whee!!) Now onto minor details and props~

Btw I'm 5'6" xD

Also idk if it's in this or another thread, I have not been keeping up, when and where is the Sailor Moon photoshoot?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #251 on:** August 25, 2011, 07:03:13 am »

The photoshoot will be after the panel, which, if I remember correctly, is scheduled to end at 4pm. We'll be meeting in the lobby of the Hilton, then migrating to the shoot site. I think the location is still TBD, but I think the waterfront park by Who Song & Larry's is being considered.

maybe next time we take them to a con xD and i'll have my staff.... next time

Rofflz · « **Reply #259 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:50:36 pm »

I have quite a bit of Saturn complete ( tonight I'll take some pictures) I'm sewing the skirt to the... body piece and velcro-ing the bows tonight. I already have the gloves from my previous Saturn cosplay. All I'll need to do is the boots, tiara and the necklace.
And the Silence Glaive. >.<' even though the boots are more complicated it's the Glaive that I'm worried about not making on time XP

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #260 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:53:04 pm »

YAY! HIGH FIVE!
Good luck with the Glaive!

Tomecko · « **Reply #261 on:** August 26, 2011, 01:29:35 am »

Rofflz - for my glaive, I was able to make it in 4 days (including painting time) all with supplies from my local Lowe's. Try the aisle with chair legs, they're great for the finial bits at the bottom of the glaive. I did need the help of a friend and his power tools to get all the parts attached, we drilled holes down the middle of all the wood pieces and ran threaded bolts through. Gorilla Glue also helps. The tricky part is figuring out the best way to attach your blade to the main staff. Make the attachment point too slim and it'll snap from the weight (like mine did, last year, during the photoshoot... and right before I was supposed to be in the Cosplay Contest).

Saturn solidarity!

Ooo~! And I finally took a pic of my finished brand-new Mistress 9: http://www.cosplay.com/photo/3036441/

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #262 on:** August 26, 2011, 10:28:03 am »

It's pretty!
I really like the skirt

Tomecko · « **Reply #263 on:** August 26, 2011, 11:00:59 am »

Thanks! It took 4 tries to get a skirt I'm completely happy with.

That wig is amazing!

Rofflz · « **Reply #266 on:** August 27, 2011, 12:08:14 am »

2 & 1/2 hrs of work equals;

-The picture is small and not good quality, but that's what I have accomplished in the past two days.
*The collar isn't sewn on, it's just pinned into place for the picture, I still have to add the white line and the bows. ^.^
**Tomorrow night I'll do the bows and begin working on the Silence Glaive, because I just got back from Dallas and Salem and I'm so tired I can't work on it tonight.
***Also I might end up painting my knee high Converse purple to use for Saturn instead of searching for boots. xP Unless I find a pair at GoodWill and right now, I don't even care if they lace up or not >.<

Tomecko · « **Reply #267 on:** August 27, 2011, 12:51:29 am »

Aw, a sad fate for awesome knee-high sneakers. But I suppose they'd still be wearable, just purple. It's looking great so far! The sleeve rolls especially, those suckers are tricksy.

Washougal Otaku - Thanks! It's super heavy (and hot), but I love it. Just gotta remember to pack my detangler.

detangler.

Speaking of which, do you know of a good place to get a good brand? Prefereably one that's also somewhat cheap?

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #269 on:** August 27, 2011, 12:47:47 pm »

It's super great Rofflz!

I won't hate you for wrong shoes, my shoes are as wrong as well

Tomecko · « **Reply #270 on:** August 27, 2011, 08:48:54 pm »

Washougal Otaku - I don't use an official wig detangler, another cosplayer told me any gloss or shine serum works just as well. I use got2b glossy Shine Serum, it's like 5 bucks at Walgreens.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #271 on:** August 28, 2011, 02:41:28 pm »

Really? I like the sound of that! ...wait a sec, I've seen that stuff before. I'll definitely have to see about getting some, now!

Rofflz · « **Reply #272 on:** August 29, 2011, 01:54:28 pm »

I'm building and finishing the Silence Glaive today, and Saturn's outfit. I'm going to see if the paint I have will stay on the boots I found for Saturn at GoodWill. Hopefully they'll last a day of walking DX

-I still need to figure out what to do about my hair... I don't have a wig, so I'll either 1) Temporarily dye my hair black or 2) Find a cheap costume wig and only wear it for a day.

-_-' I wish I'd had the money to buy Saturn's wig earlier DX

Kimiski · « **Reply #273 on:** August 31, 2011, 03:17:15 am »

Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial that will help me tie a scarf into this type of bow?:

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #274 on:** August 31, 2011, 03:27:52 am »

I dunno about a tutorial, but in that picture it looks like she just attached two pieces of the scarf fabric up under the collar and crossed them over each other, and then wrapped another piece of fabric over the intersection to conceal it.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #275 on:** August 31, 2011, 12:14:31 pm »

This isn't really the point, but is it just me, or does her neck line look a lot lower than it's supposed to be?

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #276 on:** August 31, 2011, 12:32:29 pm »

It looks like she's wearing a shirt underneath the collar in the original design, that's probably why it looks low

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #277 on:** August 31, 2011, 12:43:12 pm »

...I don't get it, but I'll take your word for it.

Kimiski · « **Reply #278 on:** September 01, 2011, 03:53:33 am »

Not done yet

I'm still not sure how to tie that stupid bow to look like this: http://i52.tinypic.com/2e4yzhy.jpg and I'm not sure what to do about the socks... the permanent marker I used on them to create the red line is running and dying my socks pink. Sewing ribbon onto them won't work either because of the elastic, it won't fit over the biggest part of my leg as I pull them up to my knee. =/

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #279 on:** September 01, 2011, 04:45:14 am »

I think, for the bow, you should make a little strip of fabric that snaps closed into a loop and use that to secure it. In those reference pictures, it doesn't look like it's tied, rather that the two strips are crossed over and secured in the middle with a strap.

Aside from that, your costume looks great!

Tomecko · « **Reply #280 on:** September 01, 2011, 10:01:16 am »

That looks awesome, Kimiski! I love that you have her ofuda purity paper dealies. As for the socks, I'd see if you can get ahold of red elastic (probably not enough time left before con, but maybe for the next time you wear Rei). I've gotten colored elastic here, but the largest they sell is 1/4" wide, and I don't know if you want thicker than that.

Rofflz · « **Reply #281 on:** September 01, 2011, 11:07:34 am »

Kimiski >w< You're so pretty! The uniform is really awesome and you have the bag XD
& Like, Chibachi Nero said; the other bows look like the middle, cross section, thing was tied with another piece of material to give it the affect of being tied. It's what I did to my Saturn bows. It really looks good instead of having to tie it.

~BTW; I've finished my Saturn, I just need to figure out what to do with my hair. Usually I would dye it permanantly, but then I couldn't bring Len Kagamine and Allen Walker as extra cosplays. >.<

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #282 on:** September 01, 2011, 11:39:42 am »

kimi. that reminds me of what i did for my rikku "boots" if you wre 2 or three pairs of socks and hot glue (yes hot glue thats why its 3 pairs to save you from burns) the ribbon on it will stay and you'll be fine with the elastic parts because you would have worn it when glueing it. worked fine for me just dont do it too tight

You even have her bag! That's awesome, kimiski! (Now I wish that I had a Neptune prop...

Oh well, maybe for Sakuracon...).

EmAino · « **Reply #284 on:** September 01, 2011, 02:52:09 pm »

Sorry, guys. But due to a family emergency, I'm not going to be able to finish Sailor Jupiter on time.

Hopefully, I will get it done before Sakuracon.

Aw that sucks
you are still welcomed at the shoot
I hope everything is alright!

ALRIGHT!!! See you guys at the photoshoot~! I'm off =D

Leaving home at 4am to head up to Vancouver! : D see you all on Sunday! >W<

Kimiski · « **Reply #288 on:** September 04, 2011, 03:38:45 am »

My Rei shoes have been KILLING me!!!! xD Gonna wear them for the photoshoot and a bit after tomorrow, but before that I'm wearing my regular flats!!

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #289 on:** September 07, 2011, 07:30:43 am »

So who has pictures from the shoot?

Thanks, but when I click on a picture is say "Content unavailable"

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #293 on:** September 08, 2011, 07:35:50 am »

O.o not for me... and yay that pic with me and tux <3

Tomecko · « **Reply #294 on:** September 08, 2011, 12:54:11 pm »

I can view Rofflz' album and click on the pics, but I can't 'open in a new tab' so that they can be easily saved. But you can click 'download' below the picture, tell it to open with Firefox, and then you can save them that way (or you can just say 'save file,' but then you can't rename them or choose what folder to save to, it just shows up in your download folder). Thanks for posting 'em up, Rofflz! They look great.

As for mine, I took about 500 pictures this year, which is over twice as many as I usually take at con. And I insist on editing out red eye and terrible hotel lighting before I upload, so it'll be a while. At least the photoshoot pics won't require editing, since they're outdoors.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #295 on:** September 08, 2011, 05:26:48 pm »

Well now I can view them, I just like opening new tabs that pop up thing is super bothersome

also my friend has a picture of you Rofflz with Luna as you two waited in line and she called you Sailor Pluto -_-

I'm glad you can see them now. ^_^
And you wouldn't believe how many people called me Pluto -_- this girl at Subway argued with me insisting I was Pluto. Even though I told her otherwise, she looked at me like I was the stupid one.

Really?!?!
What a sad world it is out there,

Tomecko · « **Reply #298 on:** September 08, 2011, 10:12:45 pm »

AGH you have no idea how often I have to correct people when I cosplay Saturn. I get called Pluto a lot.

"OMG Sailor Pluto can I hug you?!!" "...No, but you can hug Sailor Saturn!"

Or my favorite, a girl who posted up a picture of me labeling me Sailor Pluto and her friend commented, "Best Sailor Pluto I've seen!" NO. I am the WORST Sailor Pluto you've ever seen!

BAH. I try not to be snarky when I correct people. I think it's because they both carry staff weapons that people confuse them so much?

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #299 on:** September 08, 2011, 10:24:47 pm »

That's probably why, although Saturn is like 12 and Pluto is ageless
and has long green hair

My friend only really knows the Inner Senshi (Even that knowledge is little)
