HEY HEY! Guess who changed their cosplay line up AGAIN?! I did....

Instead of Marly (but I'm still gonna make the scythe.), I'm doing Rapunzel from Tangled. =D I'll have a sexy Flynn Rider with me, of course~ ^_^

Too Funny Babe. Are you going for the really bigass braid with all the flowers look?

@Drauska: Yes I am. Ashe is helping with the wig. She has some ideas. =D Also going to have my frying pan. Hehehehehehe.

Clever. I always used costume cigs for my wolf wood costume as they look like they are lit but that's a good, cheap way to make some unlit ones.

I've just got my two cosplays planned. One of them will be made from scratch, and the other one is already partly done, just have to do some touch ups. When I have some money, I am deeeeefinitely starting on my Leia cosplay. ♥ SO excited about that one!

Drauska · « **Reply #307 on:** October 11, 2011, 07:36:59 pm »

Making a death eater scythe and I have to admit that Maka has some killer moves on her.

Anyone ever work with Plexi before? I'm trying to deside on plexi or wood for the blade. I hear that cutting plexi is a pain in the badonkadonk.
I'm also gonna make Jade Curtiss spear. I want to make the spear out of plexi so I can put an LED in the pole and illuminate the spear blade. So once again. Any advice on plexiglas?

Chromophobic · « **Reply #308 on:** October 11, 2011, 07:47:19 pm »

@Drauska: You are going to be a busy girl.

I have been inspired lately by movies. I looked into doing Rapunzel, but after looking at her dress and since I am doing Yuna already, I don't think I'll have time to do that.

SO I'm doing Rose from Titanic. Odd cosplay, I know.

I'm going to do her sinking dress, because it's the easiest and also it's my favorite, next to her party dress. :3

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #309 on:** October 11, 2011, 08:04:07 pm »

I'm going to be getting my MEW kugurumi for Halloween done.
I was thinking of doing another crossover, just don't know who.

hikaru_maxwell · « **Reply #310 on:** October 11, 2011, 09:21:31 pm »

Riku is....done-ish. I might change out the shoes. But we took some pictures of it today, and I realized to my horror that I look like lucius malfoy in that wig. *shivers*

On the bright side, my taito cosplay also came, though we'll have to fix up the jacket so the number shows more. (and I'm still waiting for the wig) >.<

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/314596_232418723483071_100001448365874_654659_679757215_n.jpg

I also started working on my old old Duo Maxwell cosplay (even though I don't have the hair for it anymore, or a wig...I'll have to get one.) It started out as pleather, but it's cracking badly so we're redoing it over with black duct tape. We got most of the front done and a good portion of the back before we ran out of tape, so I'll finish it up when we buy more. I wonder if I should make pants out of duct tape as well.....*ponders*

If anyone is wondering, the eyeball and hand in the first picture of the Duo jacket is Titus. I decided to use her as a prop-up when all the pictures of the jacket hanging properly came out with too much glare and/or way too wrinkly to see properly.

Black~Rose · « **Reply #311 on:** October 11, 2011, 09:33:56 pm »

My wig and ears came. I need to return the ears though, they are just wayyyy too big. I'm looking at a different pair about half that length.

I'm not too sure about everything that I'm doing but I know I will do a Pony group. With me as Pinkie, and my friends as Rarity, Rainbow, Twilight, Apple, and ... FlutterGUY!

I have to work on getting the ears and tail for Halloween Town. It's gonna be a little difficult to get them in a higher quality.

Drauska · « **Reply #315 on:** October 13, 2011, 09:43:51 am »

Working on a Death scythe. Does anyone recommend a type of wood to use for the blade. I need something that is not too heavy, can sand and cut nice without splintering, and is more sturdy then balsa wood. thanks.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #316 on:** October 13, 2011, 10:41:30 am »

A piece of wood the size of Death Scythe's blade is going to be heavy regardless of what kind it is. You may want to look into other methods, like acrylic sheet or insulation foam.

I was thinking of acrylic sheet however everyone is telling me that it sucks to cut it. Would you know a place where I can get some that is not like plexi?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #318 on:** October 13, 2011, 11:10:45 am »

It takes a little getting used to, but cutting acrylic isn't that hard when you have the tools and know how to do it :\ You just need to go slowly with a jigsaw and not try to rip through it like a piece of wood.

You would have to search online for a sheet large enough to do Death Scythe's blade though.

Drauska · « **Reply #319 on:** October 13, 2011, 01:36:55 pm »

Well i found PVC in sheets, however it's about $30 with $16 shipping. I'm hoping it's worth it. Will probably order it in a week or so. All the plexi and Lexan at home depot looks to be about twice that amount.

dark4ever · « **Reply #320 on:** October 13, 2011, 09:08:11 pm »

My goggles came in today 8D I'll hopefully get some pictures to post soon

@Titus: Awesome cosplay!~

I hope in November I'll have the sewing machine. Currently I'm looking into starting Rose since all I need is a wig and the "Heart of the Ocean" necklace. Trying to find a good replica of it that is on the cheaper side.

Actually I found a place called Tap Plastic in Tigard that might be able to get this really cheap and cut it too.

Finally got some pictures with my goggles xD Here's one with my Marly wig as well... I look a little like Haruhara right now... Yes, I will dye my stupid brown eyebrows when I do Marly

Planning on working on Lucy tomorrow. Bought a belt at walmart that I think fits hers nicely, so it put me in the mood. Going to plan out Millia while I'm at it, since it's all blue and white.

Tsubasa wig is on its way, and got my slytherin patch in the mail yesterday, and my OC wig should be shipping out soon as well. ^^

I estimate completion for two of mine to be in the beginning of February and one early December. I'll post pics of the wigs as soon as I can.

Going into town today!~ Probably going to go to Goodwill and see if I can find some stuff for my cosplays. Thenn going to the craft store to get some stuff for my armor~

Looks like I will be making a lot of stuff for other folks this year.

Maka death scythe
Jade Curtiss spear (actually going to try and make this light up with LEDs and plexi)
Axel chakrams

Secret Cosplay from scratch
TF2 Engineer Fem version. Need to hit up goodwills for outfit, get an old metal tool box and paint it, make a large wrench, and pick up a tool belt.
Trigun is already done (wore it at Kcon 2011)

This is going to be a buisy year. I'm excited now I have something to do with all my spare time.

Lots...but I'm giving the scythe and the spear to the ppl I'm making it for before then. So I will be emptying as I go along. But yeah my place is gonna be a huge mess while I work on these. LOL

Congrats, Nero.

Our wigs and headphones for Taito and Luka (my sister's cosplay) finally arrived, so I'll be getting them tomorrow from the office. And we got matching pajamas for the Hetalia PJ party. I'll be putting up pics for you guys to see as soon as I can. ^^

Tomorrow I cut out death scythe blade. Taking a rediculous amount of pictures so I can make a tutorial. Chromophobic is gonna produce a youtube vid of the production. It gave me a good excuse to clear my studio floor.

Been watching soul eater for inspiration and I gotta say that Chrona has to be the sadist anime character I've ever seen. He beat out Gara for that one.

Sad...I've hardly touched my secret cosplay yet.

OK done babbleing.

I made this costume today for a surprise costume contest at Gamestop to pick up my Batman Arkham city game. I'll be working more on this as the months go on, might bring it to K-con '12? all that's really left is to get a wig (not a nasty Halloween one that I picked up at the store), reapply the diamonds on the pants, get real boot covers (agian, not halloween ones that I picked up at store...), and make the arm warmers, along with a few other tiny details. Though I'll have to redo the pants too. Seriously I made this all in one day so I was pretty rushed.

PLEASE excuse the terrible make up, I didn't have any on hand and didn't realize how bad it was going to look until it was already on and time to go. XD (Also the wig - again, short notice, Halloween, it was that or dye my hair blonde and I can't really do that at this time. XD)

Not much progress in my cosplay making but I am going to have two "jobs" soon. One is tutoring my sister's friend, which i'm charging her for. The second is one of my siblings' friends wants me to make her a ballgown like dress as well as petticoat. I'm hoping to get some decent cash from it

That way I can make progress

Chromophobic · « **Reply #347 on:** October 18, 2011, 10:15:00 pm »

@Otaku: If you need help making that dress, I will help. ^_^

Finally! I ordered my necklace! I won the bid on ebay finally and my necklace should be here next week or the week after. I will post pictures when I get it. ^_^

Has anyone used the epoxy that comes in the two sided syringe? Do you have to mix it when it comes out or can you just apply it directly?
