O man...If I don't get started on cosplay soon I will be paniky this spring. Barrowed a sewing machine from a friend. Need to make secret cosplay clothes and buy a Dickies blue coveral and modify it into a pinup style short dress. What do you think with the outfit...dolled up makeup and hair coveral dress and either boots or pumps. Ladies?

work boots or fashionable pumps for my Fem Eng cosplay?

I've been doing research for wigs online all night and I've found the perfect ones for Rita and Gaz. I call that progress. I get paid on Friday so I'll order them then.

Find a cool mix?

Babysat this morning, so I have money for Dolorosa's wig. Unfortunately the one I want is out of stock in black right now, but I'll keep an eye on it and hopefully order it in the next couple of weeks.

And I've made some progress on PB's crown - I'm filling in the cracks in the clay today and hopefully can start sanding tonight. I had to add a little to the circumference because I made it to fit my regular head and forgot to make it a little wider for the wig, but hopefully when it's sanded and painted it won't be too obvious.

I'm going to force myself to finish Nice's gloves tonight. I frickin' hate gloves.

My Rainbow Dash shirts and shoes came in the mail~! I just need to get the cutie mark printed, paint my shoes, buy my pants, and exchange wigs and get a tail, ears, and wings. Also some rainbow wristbands. Can't wait for this~!

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #405 on:** November 26, 2011, 10:29:40 pm »

I'm so excited, I got paid today so I'm ordering my Gaz wig tomorrow. I'm getting this one

EDIT: My wig and socks have been ordered! Now begins the waiting game.

Here pretty soon I might be getting rid of some of the things on my list. That's about as much of progress as I've made at this point...

hikaru_maxwell · « **Reply #407 on:** November 27, 2011, 05:11:51 pm »

I still need to dye the apron for maid!denmark, but Titus was wonderful to make it for me before we shipped her back to Oregon.

Also, SatW Denmark is pretty much done, and I wore it to Izumicon! (with the wrong shoes).

Denmark in all his glory, with pr0n (sailor moon manga, I kid you not), and b33r (it was a bottle of ramune).

Denmark shares with Axis Powers Hetalia's England. Iggy was shocked and intrigued.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #408 on:** November 27, 2011, 06:48:01 pm »

The manga is a nice touch! (And I'm sure people didn't even notice the wrong shoes; nobody said anything to me with my Neptune shoes).

Chromophobic · « **Reply #409 on:** November 28, 2011, 06:12:11 am »

I've decided to do Jareth from Labyrinth for one of the days of Kumoricon 2012, and possibly Sakuracon if I go.

Problem is... I can't find a decent wig. >.< The only one I found was perfectly styled, just the color is to dark. x.x

Here's one on eBay that could work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AWESOME-MENS-LONG-BLONDE-SPIKEY-PUNK-ROCK-80S-MULLET-WIG-COSTUME-ACCESSORY-/290626129628?pt=AU_Costumes&hash=item43aaaacedc#ht_3746wt_809

Yeah Chromo that would work really nice. I think you should go for it.

I can't start ordering my stuff until after the 1st of the year. Christmas is just too expensive to also go out and buy cosplay materials.

My secret cosplay is going to take a lot of $$ to get everything I need. $:-\$

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #412 on:** November 30, 2011, 12:33:10 pm »

The only present I'm buying is for a coworker because the irony is too good for me to pass up.

Other than that, I just have to work on acquiring my things for Rin before February.

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #413 on:** December 01, 2011, 10:16:25 am »

My Gaz socks came last night! They're the perfect color but they fit kinda weird so I'll have to figure that out.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #414 on:** December 02, 2011, 08:49:05 am »

i cant wait til monday! then i can order my rapunzel dress >.<

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #415 on:** December 02, 2011, 01:24:42 pm »

As hard as I try, there is no way I can make these socks work. So I ordered some new tights that I'm sure will work better. Being chubby sucks.

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #416 on:** December 02, 2011, 02:24:03 pm »

Just got in my Fi Wig and my Time skip Rukia Wig in~ They need minor styling But they look great!

With the Rukia wig I messed with it a bit and actually tried out some eye make-up, very minor though, excited again for cosplaying again~

LigerZeroLindsey · « **Reply #418 on:** December 03, 2011, 11:26:10 pm »

My cosplay for Liger Zero Schneider is nearing completion! All the armor is made, only the mask and attaching some armor is left to do. I hope to get him done by the end of January~

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #419 on:** December 09, 2011, 12:40:58 pm »

WEll i got my new cosplay well the frist one ill show photo laters

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #420 on:** December 11, 2011, 04:23:13 pm »

I ordered my Princess Bubblegum wig today. It should come sometime between now and Christmas, so it's kind of a present for myself.

And I'm almost done with her crown, I'm just waiting for some paint to dry so I can glue the jewel onto it.

I finally got more black spray paint and primed Dolorosa's chest piece, so I should be able to start actually painting that sometime later today. And I got her horns attached to a headband and got shoes for her.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #421 on:** December 11, 2011, 04:50:41 pm »

I got working a little on fixing up the chest and thigh armor for Date. In stead of three pieces I cut out a peice of pleahter and attached the craft foam to make one big peiece. I am going to spray paint it tomorrow and it should be done. Then all that will be left for Date would be to take the jacket out a little, have my boyfriend finish the chainmail, and get magnets to attach the swords to the jacket.

For Taokaka still the same, need to touch up a little paint and redo the eyes so they light up.

Deed: I need to finish the armor, attach the cloak to the shoulder armor, finish the jewlery, shorten the dress, add the gold trim to the dress, put resin on the sword, order my ears, make a sheath, and make the arm warmer things. A lot of it is all quick stuff or waiting for things to dry.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #422 on:** December 11, 2011, 06:40:10 pm »

Ordered my wig for my OC >:3

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #423 on:** December 11, 2011, 07:33:42 pm »

When the bank deposits my check, I'm going to hit up Joann's and get fabric so I can start making Rose's dress and hood.

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #424 on:** December 11, 2011, 07:50:03 pm »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #428 on:** December 12, 2011, 05:50:38 pm »

I took the jacket out and finished the chest armor. Once I get paid I will order my magnets for the swords. When I get off work I am going to fix the swords up a bit. I am also going to order Mike's Kojuro wig on the 15th. I'm going to style it for him, thats his x-mas present :3

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #429 on:** December 12, 2011, 07:11:48 pm »

Cubchoo ima get white pj pants, white sweatshirt, and add ears and dye the hood. Anyone know where i can find white bear feet slippers?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #431 on:** December 13, 2011, 11:17:15 am »

My new Date wig with the touched up chest armor but sadly you can't see the part that really needed to be fixed, that was around the waist.

CyberIncision · « **Reply #432 on:** December 15, 2011, 02:22:58 am »

I'll soon have a Penance (X-men) wig

So excited! So.... much body paint!

That looks great! I can't wait to see it when its done!

My little bit of progress. I attached my cloak to my armor for Deedlit. Tomorrow I will paint the armor (the cloak is removable).

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #436 on:** December 18, 2011, 06:13:00 pm »

Looks really good

Drauska · « **Reply #437 on:** December 20, 2011, 11:43:10 am »

I think I will finally make some progress. My comp just crapped out and now I have nothing else to do. I guess I won't go through the summer hysterics.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #438 on:** December 20, 2011, 12:09:15 pm »

Black~Rose · « **Reply #439 on:** December 20, 2011, 12:35:52 pm »

Tried on my ears for Keira today. Me and Ang got the fabrics to make her outfit as well. We tried to do the wig but I think I'm in over my head with that one X_X sooo we are sending it to someone who knows what they are doing.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #440 on:** December 20, 2011, 12:45:50 pm »

@ Black~Rose looking good so far

nikkiolie · « **Reply #441 on:** December 20, 2011, 03:13:32 pm »

Those are the type of ears I need for Deed

Where did you get them? Or did you make them?

Alright those are the ones I was going to get then

Drauska · « **Reply #444 on:** December 21, 2011, 07:29:41 am »

^^Great Cloak Nikki. What did you make the shoulders out of?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #445 on:** December 21, 2011, 12:06:56 pm »

I ordered some plastic a long time ago and I had some left over. Its about an eighth of an inch thick and you can shape it with heat (its not wonderflex). Its painted blue now I just need to add the gold detailing then the shoulders are done and I can start working on the chest.

Here is my finished Gakuen Date

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #446 on:** December 21, 2011, 06:04:48 pm »

@Black~Rose: Those ears are so freaking perfect. You don't even know how happy it makes me that you're cosplaying as her!!

Got some of the patterns cut out for Aram today. I'm going to cut out the jacket's pattern tomorrow and make a mock of it out of satin I have laying around.

After thinking it over, I think the costume'll look best and not cook me alive if I can make it out of cotton. My mom says she thinks there's some permanent press fabric for sale somewhere... So hopefully....?
Anyone heard of this?

I'll be going to JoAnn's later in Jan to look for the trim, interfacing and cotton. @_@ And lining for the pants.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #449 on:** December 23, 2011, 12:36:33 am »

I've been looking at various Liechtenstein cosplay options lately; it looks like that one is being a favorite choice, thus far...
