Here is what I have so far on Rinoa. I want to get rid of the buttons on the black shirt. And I am still working on the weapon. Should be done by Feb.

Oh yeah, I still need to get the ribbon >_>

It looks soooo awsome. Are you going to include the wings on the back of the jacket??

I got around to ordering my Ciel cosplay (cause I'm a baby and dun wanna try making and butchering it myself) a few days ago. I also ordered the wig on Monday. And already got the cane in, but it needs a repaint job.
I also finally got around to ordering myself a new base for a new Roxas wig

I actually have a picture! Finally!

The lighting's pretty terrible, that wig's actually significantly darker in real life, but that's most of PB done. I am damn proud of that shirt.

They are already there. I bought it off someone on coscom.

I'm working on my chest armor today and I am not quite sure if I need to smooth it out more or not. Its getting close but I think the little bit of texture it has makes it look more like armor but not sure. What do you guys think?

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #608 on:** January 22, 2012, 11:48:05 am »

I think it looks pretty good. The texture does make it seem a little more realistic.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #609 on:** January 22, 2012, 12:24:48 pm »

Alright well then I will do one more layer and then call it good (since I already put it on >_>)

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #610 on:** January 22, 2012, 04:36:49 pm »

it looks really good its simular to my sister chest palte she did for her cosplay she was the one on stage and the cosplay contect she had like the craf foam outfit and the bow

Almost done with my comission so I can order some materials that I need for my secret cosplay. I have a lot of work to do on that one.

Fem Eng dress all pinned and waiting to be sewed, but now I think I want a swishy dress instead of a clingy dress.

ichigo_m. · « **Reply #621 on:** January 24, 2012, 05:29:14 pm »

I got Pinkie Pie done last week. I just wanna add some bows to her hair.
I did a quick shoot in the snow. xD

Just got my secret cosplay today

waiting for the wepon and the wig

Drauska · « **Reply #625 on:** January 25, 2012, 10:30:06 am »

Almost finished with one project and I'm going to start some new projects that will include using resin which I have never used before. Will resin "eat" styrofoam? And does anyone know of a good youtube vid or how to website for working with resin? Not just resin casts but covering with resin. Thanks

nikkiolie · « **Reply #626 on:** January 25, 2012, 12:33:55 pm »

Hmmm I don't know. What I would suggest just to be safe would be to paper mache over the resin. If you can't afford some of the stuff I always use flour and water and it works just as well.

I am fixing up some things for Date. Right now I am repainting the armor black (since the chest and thigh plates are going to have to be black). I just barely had enough spray paint to do it all. I remade the jacket and the scarf. I still need to add the white bias tape to the jacket and its done. Next on the list for Date is....finish painting the details in the armor, touch up the swords a little, and chain mail and he should be done.

I'm still working on Deed's chest armor. Its just about ready.

For Riona I am taking the weapon to my parents house to paint it then I just need to add the silver detailing to the edge to make it look more like a blade and its done. And I still need to get a ribbon for her.

Maiku · « **Reply #627 on:** January 25, 2012, 01:25:38 pm »

I am spending a lot of time watching part of the Sengoku Basara anime, looking at art books, and browsing online to study Kojuro's armor. I really want to try for what they have in the game, but I don't know that my braiding will look quite right. I'm gonna pick up EVA foam today, it's on sale, and possibly other craft foams. I need to make sample plates to see which I like the look of better and determine the base for my armor. Sometime, probably tomorrow, I'm gonna go sew Kojuro's pants, dye his socks, and probably modify his under kimono.

I'm also going to sew all of the cloth parts of Parn sometime tomorrow or Sunday. Get all my easy sewing out of the way and leave time for things that I'm not as good at (like armor), for props, and to take my time with Kojuro's jacket.

I'm not sure about swords for Kojuro yet though. Part of me wants to just make Date's broken sword (sense my Date (above poster) has Kojuro's sword from second season), but part of me also wants to make both swords just so I have them for solo pictures. I'll probably make them, but make the broken sword first (provided I have a Hanbei).

todays progress: posted more costumes for sale on cosplay.com to get money for new costume....

oyvey...

veraca · « **Reply #629 on:** January 26, 2012, 02:34:23 pm »

So I had a mind-fart when ordering my Roxas wig and I got a 613 forgetting how light that color is. Stupid swatch, fooled me! *stares at light punky wig* What the hell am I going to use that for now?

*grumbles and orders a different wig*

nikkiolie · « **Reply #630 on:** January 26, 2012, 03:24:05 pm »

I repainted my armor today for Date. I think it looks a lot better. Warning a few pictures >_>

Thighs:

Arms:

Helmet:

I also have the shin guards done and the arm bracers close to being done. I just need to add the gold detailing to them.

Maiku · « **Reply #631 on:** January 26, 2012, 11:46:44 pm »

I'll post a better picture. I did samples today for Kojuro's breast plate 'plates'.

Trying to figure out the best ones to use based on the following reference links:

My Aya Brea cosplay so far. The dress is not altered yet and I might consider getting a new wig and new aqua contact lenses since these ones are painful and irritating.

fluffpuffgerbil · « **Reply #633 on:** January 27, 2012, 03:06:34 pm »

Yaaayy! <3 Got my Shinra tie a few days ago and got my lab coat today! ^^ It's a little big, but just the right length.(as in, where it falls at my knees)

I'm just waiting on my wig now, and I've recently come to have about 35$, so I need to go to Goodwill(Again, we just went yesterday) to get more greyish/green pants and possible a more greyish white button up.
I'm so picky when it comes to my cosplays. ^^ I'm thinking of just wearing my nice black shoes for Shinra, because I've not seen him wear any shoes other than his slippers. XD Oh, and I need new glasses since mine broke. -_-

Black~Rose · « **Reply #634 on:** January 27, 2012, 06:33:54 pm »

I got Venus! =D I still need to get the shoes done and I need to fix the neck piece because its too large but its almost complete now =D

I couldn't help but noticing what you said about Shinra's shoes. I plan to cosplay him at some point, so I've looked up reference pictures before. Here's one to help you with the shoes he wears, when he isn't in slippers.

Found my piles of satin to remake Richea's skirt. I still have to find out which of the piles is the most in-tact ^^
I also dug out the pattern @.@; It was folded so neatly, I almost didn't see it.

I'm also waiting on the next wig for Roxas.

fluffpuffgerbil · « **Reply #641 on:** January 28, 2012, 05:30:38 pm »

O, thanks about the reference of Shinra! ^^ I forgot about that pic of him.

Well, I have everything for Shinra now, well, bought everything. I got new glasses and am now just waiting for my wig to get here. (Sometime early febuary it should come), but I don't know how pleased I am with my lab coat, it's a little too big. :/ OR makes me look bigger than I am. (I'm really thin, but my lab coat doesn't really help show that. XD Guess I'm just not used to buying X Smalls now.)

But, it'll have to do. I just need to iron it, maybe that'll help. ^^

But I can't wait to get my wig! I ordered this wig: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Shinra-Kishitani-DuRaRaRa-DRRR-Short-Black-Cosplay-Party-Hair-wig-J45-/160705251719?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256ac78987#ht_7366wt_1110

I liked the style/look of this one and couldn't find any more brownish,(whohoo, 3rd black wig...) but I Think it'll do fine. ^^

OH and today at a flea market I got a new black vest, 4$, fits very nicely. I needed a new one so badly. XD
My glasses I got for Shinra will work fine for William too.

Actually, I think all I need is another pair of pants for Shinra, more greyish green ones instead of black ones. ^^

So, besides the pants for Shinra, I should have everything I need for all my cosplays!

Next is working up money for hotel room and K-con ticket. ^^

Well, I got the wig I was going to wear with my Jellyfish dress, but... it's darker than I thought it was going to be. So I'm going to see if I can return it/exchange it for a blonde wig (I had bought a pink wig). I'm considering buying a wig on Cyperous instead, but they're expensive. ;_;

Lady In Red · « **Reply #643 on:** January 30, 2012, 12:37:13 pm »

@bunny_jean
I'm not sure what kind of wig you're looking for, but you might find it here: http://www.wigisfashion.com/
This site is awesome : )

bunny_jean · « **Reply #644 on:** January 30, 2012, 01:39:26 pm »

Thanks for the link! I was trying to find a really light pink, long, wavy/curly wig, but that seems to be impossible to find, so I think I'm just going to get a platinum blonde one in the same style. ^_^

Lady In Red · « **Reply #645 on:** January 30, 2012, 01:46:54 pm »

No problem! I hope you find what you're looking for : )

NEW quick cosplay I might add to my k-con list!

8'D

We've had this coat for ages.

And I just had to cut up one of my old wigs to get his hairstyle.

And I think my grey skinnies might work better with this outfit than the black ones.... now that I look again and see Izaya has grayish pants.

Oh and sorry for the bad quality pic. XD It was the best I could get by myself in my mirror without flash.(you can see my awesome reptile shelves in the bg though! X'D)

Now I wanna go troll some Shizu-chans. 8D

Lady In Red · « **Reply #649 on:** January 30, 2012, 07:19:33 pm »

Cut, styled and added wefts to my friend Maddys new Grell wig~! : )
