This is sad.. But I've already started on next years cosplays. How about you?

Blizzara Dragon · « **Reply #1 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:26:38 pm »

Does planning count? Cause planning has already started for me, but no actual work has begun yet.

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #3 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:28:45 pm »

I've started planning cosplays with my best friend at least!

Chromophobic · « **Reply #4 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:29:42 pm »

@ Blizzara: Planning does indeed count!

I have been planning for a while for my cosplays and hope to meet up with my friend so we can start sewing soon, because my costume looks like it's gonna take A LOT of my time this year.

Spontaneous · « **Reply #5 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:32:03 pm »

To anyone who has already started a new cosplay for next year: DANG.

Yes,Yes it is.The feathers might be your biggest problem out of the whole costume

Chromophobic · « **Reply #7 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:47:30 pm »

@Otaku: Indeed. Sarah and I are going be hunting down feathers that come in bigger packages then the tiny ones at Jo-Anns. -__-

Since I forgot to mention this earlier I guess I'll type it up now. I'm still in the planning stages but I am planning on doing normal N.Italy,N.Italy in his underwear outfit,and Chibitalia. All three are from the anime/manga,Axis Powers Hetalia.

Chromophobic · « **Reply #11 on:** September 07, 2011, 10:37:47 pm »

Seems I forgot to mention mine as well... ^^'

I'll be doing Wedding Dress Yuna from Final Fantasy X.

OokamiYami · « **Reply #12 on:** September 07, 2011, 10:47:51 pm »

My brother and I are planning to do Noctis and Stella from Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Plus I am planning to look for another black dress for Aya Brea since I heard my friend, Mitsukai, is doing Eve. I might cosplay Aya from The Third Birthday as well.

Zensuke · « **Reply #13 on:** September 07, 2011, 10:58:54 pm »

I have to decide what I'm going to do for next year still. Other wise I would be started already for sure.

The Night Bringer · « **Reply #14 on:** September 07, 2011, 11:11:58 pm »

Ah man, I always keep saying to my self that I'm going to start super early and get it done way before next con...Then a year goes by and I begin and get it finished in the week or two right before the con.

Procrastination is a terrible thing.

govi · « **Reply #15 on:** September 07, 2011, 11:26:31 pm »

Does it count if we're probably using the same cosplay as this year?

Chromophobic · « **Reply #16 on:** September 07, 2011, 11:38:01 pm »

@Govi: Sure! ^^

OokamiYami · « **Reply #17 on:** September 07, 2011, 11:53:49 pm »

Oh yeah, will be doing Claude Faustus again, but this time...My friend, Rikkugrape (Alois Trancy), will be helping to make the Laevateinn sword.

And definitely this time make Claude's OVA pink polka-dotted PJs.

veraca · « **Reply #18 on:** September 08, 2011, 12:44:58 am »

I try to make a point of not planning my costumes for Kumori until Sakura's passed.. Since a lot can change in a year.

I am batting around ideas of doing a Ciel. And someone else from the Tales of series, not just Richea.

I'm also looking into how to fix Richea's skirt so it puffs out properly, getting her crown done and getting some good tights for under the petticoat. After that, I'm looking at working on my kid Link costume and seeing if I can finally get enough bravery mustered up to sew the box pleated skirt for Yuna @.@ Dang math + expensive lace.

Aaaaand if that's not enough, I'm going to be looking into doing Aram. I have most to all of the satin needed for his costume I think. But nothing for the trim yet. No space to work either, and I still have to cut out and measure the patterns properly. How I wish I had a dress form x.x; And you know, room for it.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2011, 07:37:47 am »

I dunno about you guys but me and my friends started planning costumes for 2012 before Kumoricon 2011.

Chromophobic · « **Reply #20 on:** September 08, 2011, 10:59:51 am »

Well tonight, hopefully I'll be starting on my Mikuru Asahina outfit. Either I'm going to make it, or cheat out and buy it. (It will be her waitress outfit)

LigerZeroLindsey · « **Reply #21 on:** September 08, 2011, 11:20:17 am »

Well my next Cosplay is being debuted at Sakura Con 2012 but it will come to KumoriCon too.

I started my upcoming Cosplay in May, so I started a while ago xD my next Cosplay is Liger Zero Schneider! =D

So far I have done:
-Mask Skeleton
-New Hand Claw gloves
-Hand Armor
-Wrist Armor (needs Velcro and caps)
-Shoulder armor (needs Velcro and caps)
-New Liger Boots (feet)
-Foot Armor

What I still have left:
-Shoulder Boosters (have been started)
-Side Armor
-Back/Side Blades
-Hip Armor
-Knee Armor
-A shitton of work on the mask (armor, blades, teeth, etc)
-Motors for moving blades
-Make Caps

I still have quite a bit of work lol. Maybe later I can show photos of what is done if anyone is interested~

veraca · « **Reply #22 on:** September 08, 2011, 01:41:34 pm »

YAY Another Zoids! I look forward to seeing it!

I just realized I have to severely alter the patterns for Aram so I might end up barely using them... *sighs*

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2011, 01:52:21 pm »

I think my plan was Tifa from the original FFVII, Penelo from FFXII, and then something else, but I'm not sure I remember what.

Either way, I'm with vereca. I don't think I'll be working on anything for Kumo until after Sak is taken care of.

SpaceCubaLikesConan · « **Reply #24 on:** September 08, 2011, 02:31:50 pm »

I've already planned mine for next year xD I'm graduating from high school in the spring, so my graduation money is going towards my costumes :3

Drauska · « **Reply #25 on:** September 08, 2011, 03:45:19 pm »

LOL Chromo sister....you know what Im gonna do next year.

I will probably pull out Vash and Wolfwood again but I have a secret cosplay that is going to take a lot of material searching.

I will slowly reveal who I will be over the year as I put it all together...lets just say the army surplus store will get to know me better.

Be careful with the underwear outfit...don't want to upset your mom.

backtoblue · « **Reply #27 on:** September 08, 2011, 03:50:34 pm »

The planning has begun, assuming I come next year.

I'm for sure doing some Hetalia again, though all new cosplays. I plan on doing chibi Norway for sure, and maybe the official fem design too. but who knows what else.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #28 on:** September 08, 2011, 07:16:25 pm »

Well, I don't even know if I'll be attending K-con at all next year but I at least have Sakuracon and possibly a few other cons.

But I need to finish a bunch of stuff for Cure Passion. Thankfully I think Tao's has a few simple fixes. Same goes with Medusa.

Then I also need to decide on a quick comfy cosplay. >_>

EmAino · « **Reply #29 on:** September 08, 2011, 08:33:33 pm »

I've settled on two definites: Izumi Curtis from Fullmetal Alchemist, and Korra from the next Avatar series....now to figure out my third and final costume.

obscure_reference · « **Reply #30 on:** September 08, 2011, 09:16:30 pm »

Here's a hint of what I am working on.

ogihci · « **Reply #31 on:** September 08, 2011, 09:51:09 pm »

The three cosplays that I really want to do is Allen's Clown Crown, Lavi, and Timmothy (all from D Gray Man).

I've started planning on the Clown Crown (This and this.) which is going to take the longest, and I have no clue how I'm going to sew all of that, seeing as how I don't really know how to sew. Hopefully I can cut corners in a few places... I'm looking forward to it though!

I already have everything for Lavi since I was him this year, and Timmothy is pretty easy too, just need to get the wig and a fake jewel or something.

princessmoon · « **Reply #32 on:** September 08, 2011, 09:58:11 pm »

...spent a little time planning what NOT to cosplay...

Zensuke · « **Reply #33 on:** September 08, 2011, 10:04:35 pm »

First part to what ever I decide to cosplay is to loose some damn weight.

otakunobody · « **Reply #34 on:** September 08, 2011, 10:10:43 pm »

I've started sketching out the outfits today.Thank god for long bus rides and nothing to do. And yes,I did start planning for 2012 before Kumoricon 2011

@Drauska: No worries this year.His underwear outfit is a pair of boxers and a tanktop.Way more clothing compaired to last year's outfit.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #35 on:** September 08, 2011, 10:45:33 pm »

So my next costume is Haruko from FLCL. I am actually kinda close to being done XD I have the pants, boots, scarf, wig, and hopefully the contacts (I can't find them right now and I hope they are at my parent's house). Once I get paid I am going to buy the material for the dress and look for gloves that might work (I really don't want to make them, I hate making gloves). I also need to borrow Chip's goggles.

It's not definate that i'm going to K-con '12 but it's getting better by the day :3

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #39 on:** September 09, 2011, 09:15:27 am »

Ive got a 4 hour car ride ahead of me today so ima start sketching some ideas out. My boyfriend and i decided on another couples cosplay for kcon12, but with pokemon this time. Then ive got this desire to try steampunk so my friend is gonna help me there. But so far, im only sketching ideas. Ill upload some pics when i can. My day3 cosplay is gonna be a surprise lol

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #40 on:** September 09, 2011, 10:36:20 am »

I haven't even picked my stuff yet.

The first thing that I'd like to do is compile a list of EVERY character that I'd like to cosplay as during my lifetime (and no, I don't believe that 2012 will be the end). Then, I'll look at the top three for now (which I'm pretty sure Lina Inverse will be on the list). At that point, I'll be doing what I can to pay for one, and if I can get any others, bonus!

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #41 on:** September 09, 2011, 11:12:28 am »

Thats pretty much what i did, but i think 2012 is the end so my list is small lol

CLAP_attack · « **Reply #42 on:** September 09, 2011, 12:20:31 pm »

Ive slowly started my 2012' cosplay plans xD ;; Sasuke ( sengoku Basara ) didn't pull through so I'm pushing him for Sakuracon & Kumoricon. All I have is the wig styled , head piece , and shoes / & tabi socks.

Harlekins · « **Reply #43 on:** September 09, 2011, 01:33:01 pm »

I've started looking for references of William and Aleister Chamber (Druit) for a Black Butler cosplay for next year, which will both be terrible because of lapels and binding. XD

bunny_jean · « **Reply #44 on:** September 09, 2011, 02:18:30 pm »

I have no idea what my next cosplay is going to be. XD I'm torn between doing a super easy and recognizable cosplay and another complicated, maybe not as recognizable one. XD I've made a Facebook album of possible cosplays, but I have no idea what I'll choose.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #45 on:** September 09, 2011, 03:09:40 pm »

I found perfect gloves today for Haruko. I got them at value village in the Halloween section. They are super hero gloves XD

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #46 on:** September 09, 2011, 03:11:47 pm »

Bunny, you should join our DOGS group.

SPEAKING OF WHICH! I got a coat and shirt for Badou today and my tie is in the mail. I need to paint my gun and get my wig in and make an eyepatch, and then bloody up the shirt and I'm done.

Oh right I need to find a belt, too. To eBay!

thesirensings · « **Reply #47 on:** September 09, 2011, 04:01:09 pm »

I already know what I want to do~!

I've taken screencaps.

That's about it. ^^;

bunny_jean · « **Reply #48 on:** September 09, 2011, 04:43:58 pm »

Richie: when are you planning it for and who do you have already? I haven't read or watched it yet (another for my list >_<). Also, if the person you need has a prop, I am a) hopeless at props and b) have no space to make props. lol. But I really think we should do some kind of cosplay collaboration in the future~

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #49 on:** September 09, 2011, 05:09:10 pm »

We have some of the main cast, but not all of it. It's definitely worth a read though! The OVAs are pretty good too.
