My armor is finally done. I just need to find a way to attach it more securely to the dress and that part should be done and I can finish the sword, make the arm warmers and finish up the boots and Deed is done.

I'm quite happy with it since it started out as this

O.O Oooh it looks awsome Nikki!

I got the fabric for the petticoat. I had issues in wondering if organza would work for the skirt... So I ended up buying 2 different colors of tulle to do 2 layers of them, and for the last tier I'll take apart the old petticoat and use that fabric.

@ Nikkiolle, that armor looks amazing!!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #653 on:** January 31, 2012, 03:42:21 pm »

Thanks :3 I'm super excited to get everything done. That costume is so close. Rinoa is just a little bit of silver paint on the weapon and she is done, and I have just a little work left with Date.

Lady In Red · « **Reply #654 on:** January 31, 2012, 04:03:50 pm »

I can't wait to see it finished!! : D

Progress: I finished my Timcanpy horns, and I"m buying an adjustable dress form to continue my cosplay~! : 3

Squall's outfit came today. I think it looks good but probably needs some modifications. Waiting on the wig before I do my eyebrows and put on the scar, to see how it all looks together.

veraca · « **Reply #656 on:** January 31, 2012, 09:18:58 pm »

I got Ciel and Richea's shoes today at goodwill

And some more spray paint for Ciel's cane...

I still have to attach the buckle things to Ciel's shoes, and put some elastic on Richea's shoes (my high arches make me walk out of them, but they fit otherwise).

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #657 on:** January 31, 2012, 10:08:54 pm »

Maiku, I think it's pretty good. Though just b/c I can't see anything in the pictures doesn't mean there are some things that need to be done that can be seen in person. I say do whatever you feel is needed.

As for me, I've mainly been working on my original steampunk Cheshire Cat. The mask is done!

Lady In Red · « **Reply #658 on:** January 31, 2012, 11:42:52 pm »

@nekovamp13

Woah, that's a really cool idea! I have never heard of anyone ever doing a steampunk cheshire! The mask looks amazing! I can't wait to see the final cosplay~!! : D

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #659 on:** February 01, 2012, 12:06:41 am »

I've seen very few on Deviant Art. And thanks ^^ I'm excited myself since the final product always looks better than my drawings ^^;

Drauska · « **Reply #660 on:** February 02, 2012, 02:06:57 pm »

Nikki...that does it. I've got to learn how to use resin.

veraca · « **Reply #661 on:** February 02, 2012, 11:47:09 pm »

I just spent the last two hours learning how to do a French seam.... Supposing the tutorial named it correctly.
Also spent a while today messing with dyes and the satin that was going to be the trim. Vinegar and the dye, yes, both dyes together no-no... *hangs head shamefully* I didn't think about the chemicals in the dye when I mixed them into the same bath. I now have kelp colored trim (green and brown randomly in places) with a gradient from brown to a nice lovely pink.... I'll be making a new set of trim tomorrow with more dye.

I swear, if I have to go to JoAnn's on Saturday for anything I will refuse.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #662 on:** February 03, 2012, 01:08:17 am »

Gotta say that sounds kinda cool. But obviously not when you want it one color ^^;

So I've been working quite a bit on my steampunk Cheshire Cat....I started ears, and have been working on my trench vest and spine/tail attachment.

OokamiYami · « **Reply #663 on:** February 03, 2012, 01:40:03 am »

Since I can't do much on my cosplays yet (is waiting for the materials to arrive), I started working on making a Ragnarok (Soul Eater) doll for my little sister since she'll be cosplaying as the child Crona.

I am currently finishing up the head and will then move onto the body.

Zensuke · « **Reply #664 on:** February 03, 2012, 08:37:26 am »

Today I'm going to be completely rebuilding Kon's head. This time we are making a fiberglass shell rather than the heavy foam thing we had before.

icanhaspocky · « **Reply #665 on:** February 03, 2012, 11:38:11 am »

My parasol I ordered for my Gothic Lolita outfit came today. It's kinda small, but I thinks it's cute

. I also made some wrist cuffs last night.

fluffpuffgerbil · « **Reply #666 on:** February 03, 2012, 11:41:25 am »

I just got notified that my new lab coat(had to order an XS since the S was too big. I hate cosplay stuff that's too big for me. >.>) and my Shinra wig were shipped out today! I hope my wig comes by v-day. XD I Want to cosplay Shinra to school that day. Why, because I can, and it's not like I've got anyone to impress that day so I'll just cosplay Shinra. XD

And I'm all preregistered for K-con and got my hotel booked, so aside from other cosplay stuff(I might add Austria to my list of possible cosplays, because I love Austria so much, and I play piano. ^^)

But yep! Just gotta wait for everything to show up.

veraca · « **Reply #667 on:** February 03, 2012, 01:40:37 pm »

@neko: Yeah it's cool, but I still need to rinse it more. And it's not even the right green...

I have to rinse all that out when I get done dying the fabric now. I used teal and it came out a serious blue shade XD I can't win. But the blue's pretty and will work, so I won't mess with it. I just have to dye the part pink and rinse that and let it all dry, and then vinegar bath it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #668 on:** February 03, 2012, 04:13:30 pm »

I got the magnets I need to attach my swords. Unfortunately I think I got some that are too strong. I can't separate them XD. When I get home I am going to see if I can use all four of them and attach one to each of my sets of sword and the other two on the inside of the jacket. If that wont work then I can just use the ones attached to my swords and use my studded belt to attach the swords.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #669 on:** February 03, 2012, 10:38:00 pm »

Got my wig for Edward V yesterday. Still needs a bit of work with layers and what not but I really like it.

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #670 on:** February 04, 2012, 11:22:37 pm »

So it looks like I'm just going to save my Rita Mordio cosplay for next year and I'm going to bring my almost finished Roxy Lalonde cosplay instead.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #671 on:** February 05, 2012, 11:48:00 am »

So, I'm thinking about going with one of these for my male Pinkie Pie cosplay.

I'm also thinking that I know how I want to do the body itself...

Either this...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEXY-VINTAGE-HOT-PINK-UNITARD-LEOTARD-BODYSUIT-JUMPSUIT-ROMPER-SWIMSUIT-SUIT-/150747736492?pt=US_Womens_Jumpsuits_Rompers&hash=item231943e9ac

Then, I'm going to look for some white shoes and spray paint them pink, get some sort of pink punk-like gloves, and wear some sort of shorts. I'm not sure how I want to make a tail, though...

@Washugal_otaku:
I really like the last pink wig. That ones very nice. It has a very nice color~!! : 3

Chromophobic · « **Reply #673 on:** February 05, 2012, 07:14:58 pm »

Ordered my Jareth wig today~ Now to play the waiting game........

veraca · « **Reply #674 on:** February 05, 2012, 07:42:16 pm »

That reminds me I need to take a pic of the punky wig I got and show my friend that it looks soooo much like a Jareth wig.. xD

Most of the dying for the trim is done. And I got the stuff to start making the hoop-skirt. Just waiting on the boning to come in ^^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #675 on:** February 05, 2012, 07:55:50 pm »

I finished painting Deed's sword and I attached it to the belt. I only have one thing left to do for all my Sakuracon cosplays

Deed I need to make the arm warmers (will take an hour tops)
Date I need to add the white trim to the jacket
Rinoa I need to add some silver paint to the edges of the weapon and attach some elastic to it to attach it to my arm. I suppose I could do the last now since I have elastic.

The last one, eh...? Thank you for the input!

Black~Rose · « **Reply #677 on:** February 06, 2012, 07:41:42 am »

I got the paint for Venus's shoes, I'll be painting them either tonight or tomorrow night and adding the ribbon. This coming Sunday I am going to start sewing Kira's shirt.

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #678 on:** February 06, 2012, 12:37:46 pm »

I got my gray socks for Roxy today and I plan on putting the cat on the shirt later.

OokamiYami · « **Reply #679 on:** February 06, 2012, 05:54:26 pm »

The wig for my little sister's Crona cosplay has arrived! I can't wait to style it!

CloudStrife32 · « **Reply #680 on:** February 06, 2012, 08:03:56 pm »

I've had the materials to start working on Linebeck for a little over a week now, but...
I dunno. Lack of a sewing machine, let alone a nice pattern, makes me not want to work on it. xD
But I'll probably start soon, and once I've got something done, I'll post pictures.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #681 on:** February 07, 2012, 01:29:33 am »

Excluding the chain mail, which will be done soon, Date is ready to wear. I finished adding the white trim to the jacket just now. I am very happy with the way it looks :3

Jotaku · « **Reply #682 on:** February 07, 2012, 01:59:47 am »

Hi everyone!
I'm mainly working on getting a Tavros Nitram cosplay together (Homestuck) at the moment. This is gonna be like the first cosplay where I'm actually making parts of it instead of just buying it straight off of ebay man I'm so ballin' ecstatic over this.
Today I bought all the ben nye creme I need for the makeup, plus tights for the armsocks as well as the ears. :'o
Tomorrow I plan to pick up as much as I can at Freddies as far as other makeup, glues, paints, etc go.

I'm reaaally excited to see this come together. ; u;
Especially since I have spent like the last 6+ hours looking up tutorials and stuff on just about everything.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #683 on:** February 07, 2012, 05:35:25 pm »

Coraline boots came in (I also have a lion kigurumi that I was wearing because of sickness)
I'm drying her hair clip right now, so pictures of that once I have painted and beaded it

Zelda wig should be here soon
Or I will continue being sad
(Jigglypuff wig got here, but Zelda hasn't yet. They were ordered a day apart. Whyyyy)
And Coraline wig has been ordered
Now I just need to order her jacket, cut the wig, and finish my hair clip, then she's done

Rofflz · « **Reply #684 on:** February 07, 2012, 06:24:17 pm »

I'm going to try and make my skirt for Mio today... and start on my Meltdown Len shirt.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #685 on:** February 07, 2012, 06:37:37 pm »

I'm gonna start working more on cosplays...B/c of hurting my leg I haven't been doing anything ;A;

Black~Rose · « **Reply #686 on:** February 07, 2012, 10:13:48 pm »

painted the shoes today. They will need a second coat tomorrow to even out the color.

Dubaby · « **Reply #687 on:** February 07, 2012, 10:21:59 pm »

Finished cutting my wig for my Eileen cosplay I'm doing at Sakuracon for the huge Regular Show group I'm a part of.... the wig I ordered came as a slightly different color than shown, so I'll need to dye it at some point, but that probably won't happen for a while. My actual glasses haven't come in yet, so I just threw some random red ones I had around on and the actual cosplay isn't done so enjoy my "sick robe."

I am going to make this face the whole day, photobomb tons of pictures, and talk about sea turtles while creeping on ~boogiepop~ as Rigby. OH MAN I'M SO EXCITEDDDD!

It looks like you've selected the right shade, though.

With my friend's help I got a dress design planned out for Maid!Romano. All I need is to gather supplies and find a decent pattern to change/use as a base. Wish me luck in my hunt

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #690 on:** February 09, 2012, 04:20:03 am »

I got my Rose wig yesterday. All I need to do is give it some bangs instead of a giant chunk of hair that falls in front of my face.

Drauska · « **Reply #691 on:** February 09, 2012, 09:10:05 am »

Just ordered the materials for my Secret Cosplay's helmet. I'm making it out of a Clear Acrylic Streetlight bulb cover.

I just hope it don't get stuck on my head. LOL I can't freakin wait to start making this cosplay.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #692 on:** February 09, 2012, 11:39:04 am »

I may buy the material I need to finish my arm warmers and the paint I need to finish Rinoa's weapon.

@OokamiYami
That's so cute!

Anyway, a few months ago I made my death note for my Misa cosplay (I'm surprised I haven't posted a pic of it 'til now lol).
