Now I feel like I need to do Bakura.........I could probably use my Pluto wig, I need to get extensions for him anyways ^^
So I'll be a maybe for now~

While it is very up in the air for financial reasons, as well as nervousness, I plan to crossplay as Dark Signer Carly from 5D's.

She is so awesome like that and I have a Fortune Lady deck in real life to go with it!

Neko that would be cool

Shadow would love it if you could

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #4 on:** February 28, 2012, 10:37:09 pm »

I'll probably be able to get him done, but I don't think I'll bring him to con. I have enough cosplays....

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #5 on:** February 28, 2012, 10:56:09 pm »

U should at least try to bring him to the shoot

Haha, believe me, I REALLY want to.
It may be a crossplay because im a male, but a couple female friends of mine say I could pull it off. (I hope they are right)

The only thing standing in my way from doing this is money. I have little other options other then having it commissioned for me.
Hmm, I should probably post about that soon to at least plan ahead.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #7 on:** February 29, 2012, 11:48:31 pm »

They are right! I've seen pics of you!!!

And I don't know. I have sooo many cosplays going to con already...I'll decide closer to con and of course it will depend if I have it done XD

Thanks.

Yeah, that makes me wonder... How does anyone take more than 3 cosplays to Kcon??? Kcon is 3 days, so you could wear different one each day, but anything more seems to rushed on each individually...

Oh, and do you know of any good local(ish) people who could commission my cosplay???

GinKyubiKitsune · « **Reply #9 on:** March 29, 2012, 12:14:11 pm »

Damn the con i was just going to do one Character at and then the yugioh ones go good.. Ok guess i'm Bringing Akefla the eygptain Bakura!

But no seriously, where did everyone go???

I see, I see.

On a related note, it looks like I can actually buy my cosplay, err, MOST of it on Ebay. That simplifies things a bit.
However, I am still on my own for Carly's sleeve/gloves and boots. Not to mention I will need a wig. sigh.

Any suggestions for the sleeve/gloves and boots?

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #14 on:** May 01, 2012, 10:07:06 pm »

Goodwill and JoAnns

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 02, 2012, 01:21:30 am »

And the gloves, I would suggest costume stores as well.

Yugi! When we all have our outfits done, we need to hang!!!!!!

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #16 on:** May 02, 2012, 10:03:39 am »

Mmmm... I have my Dungeon Dice Monster outfit done and I need the Leather pants to have the other outfit done

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2012, 12:41:00 pm »

Hmm.... I'm thinking about these things more and I am actually wondering what the best approach for my cosplay is....

On the one hand, I can buy most of it on ebay. This would provide me with everything needed except for her boots, sleeve/gloves and wig obviously.
The main costume on ebay is about $80 + shipping. (Which is high...)

This isn't too bad I don't think, but I still have the 3 remaining parts of the cosplay I need to take care of. And I have no idea what kind of prices I will be looking at...

On the other hand, I could have someone commission it for me as one big thing, but again, price won't be cheap and quality can vary depending on who does it.

So I guess I am asking for your opinions guys...
What is the best way to go about this?
Ebay? Commission? A combination of both? (You get the idea.)

More specifically, can any of you guys help me specifically or are your schedules full?
Thanks.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2012, 08:17:25 pm »

It is a hard one.... My mom does commissions but she charges $15 an hour and Fabric Cost.... And does amazing job! After Fanime I can get together with you and plot out more and check out the other sites and talk to other commissioners.

devyrae · « **Reply #19 on:** June 10, 2012, 03:43:26 am »

Ill be Thief King Bakura as always, with AcidicSloan as Yami Bakura, and Naygo as either Yami Yugi or Yami Mariku ^^

I hope the photoshoot wont be horribly early this year. @_@;

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #20 on:** June 10, 2012, 12:08:49 pm »

I was thinking 12 to 1 and then to Subway as a group.

(Its funny if you have seen 5D's and remember my cosplay choice.)

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #22 on:** June 12, 2012, 08:59:15 pm »

Sorry the farthest I have got is episode 6 of GX.... I am one of the ones who love the original

GinKyubiKitsune · « **Reply #23 on:** July 01, 2012, 12:05:36 am »

Count another Akefla! aka thief king Bakura! i'll be going as him for kumo!

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #24 on:** July 02, 2012, 01:43:11 am »

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #25 on:** July 12, 2012, 04:03:45 pm »

Okay, I need a suggestion or two please.

Basically I've decided that I will most likely buy my Dark Signer Carly cosplay on ebay. Seems good enough. (I hope)

However, as I've said before, that still leaves the sleeves and boots to take care of. Neither is too difficult I suppose, but it is awkward still none the less.

For her boots, what would you all recommend specifically? As I'm not a girl in real life I have no knowledge in the shoe department. lol
Any specific brands and names would be greatly appreciated.

The other thing is a matter of the wig.
Would I be better off getting a character specific wig, or a basic generic wig and having a friend style it?

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #26 on:** July 12, 2012, 08:37:56 pm »

Go to Goodwill for your shoes go with a gal friend to help.

The Wig basic and style

GinKyubiKitsune · « **Reply #27 on:** July 13, 2012, 04:54:22 pm »

you need to update the list and have figureed out on time yet wise for the photoshoot? though maybe we should have 2

devyrae · « **Reply #28 on:** July 14, 2012, 03:39:43 am »

I think we should have one big photoshoot, probably out at the gazebo or somewhere people will actually see us and take lots of pictures getting more yu-Gi-Oh lovin; XD at around noon - 2 time frame.. unless otherwise has been decided?

I'd have to pass on the subway thing with y'all though because im gluten-intolerant TT__TT I'm looking forward to another awesome photoshoot though.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #29 on:** July 14, 2012, 06:11:31 pm »

how about 1:30 by the Gazebo not in it but by it... on day 1.

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #30 on:** July 14, 2012, 09:53:21 pm »

What is this subway meeting of which you speak?

GinKyubiKitsune · « **Reply #31 on:** July 16, 2012, 08:24:48 pm »

I say we have two still. That way for those who can't make it on the first day can go the 2nd day.. also mainly is cause i want to go to it also but depending on my panel it might be messed up.. and that's not too fun with that happening. depending if they accept mine or not.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #32 on:** July 20, 2012, 12:33:39 pm »

GinK - Ok I will only be able to do one shoot... So if you want to be in charge of the second you can

Shadow- I was saying we could go to Subway after the shoot.

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #33 on:** July 28, 2012, 09:06:32 pm »

^Oh I see. Yeah sure. Works for me. lol

On a different note, I'm having such a pain finding knee boots for Dark Signer Carly's outfit.
The first part is that Good Will only has so much stuff, not to mention that it looks weird for a boy to be looking at girls shoes. Especially since I don't girl with me to divert attention to. lol
The other problem then in turn becomes going online. I am not a girl so I do not know what brands or names to look into or even where to look for good results. I also don't want to buy something brand new at those big retail prices.
I need help from any female cosplayers here. lol
Thanks.

EDIT: Well, I went onto Ebay and did some generic browsing for possible boots and what not.
There are so many search results. lol
Uh, I came across these though; http://www.ebay.com/itm/350532326829?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
It's hard for me to decide what would be "best" for all of this, but that MIGHT be a decent possibility?
I dunno, maybe the heel is too thick. lol

Like I said, suggestions are needed. Thanks.

GinKyubiKitsune · « **Reply #34 on:** August 05, 2012, 11:21:48 pm »

Alright hey figured things out. So the2nd Yugioh Photoshoot will be on..

Day 2 @ 1pm-2pm @ The Clock Tower fountain near the Gazebo area.

Hope that sounds good for everyone for the 2nd one.

though i'm guessing the first one from what we've all been saying is

Day 1 @ 12pm-1pm

Is it going to be at the same area? if so then i think we should put them up and have the shoots all ready listed so people know when they look?

shadoworganoid · « **Reply #35 on:** August 30, 2012, 10:21:22 am »

"Attention Duelists! My hair would like to remind you all that Kumoricon begins tomorrow evening."

^Ah, Yugioh abridged ftw. lol

But anyways, I can't wait. My cosplay came in this year and fits too. lol So I'm a happy camper.
