I AM DEF MIKASA!! XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2 on:** May 27, 2013, 09:04:09 pm »

Awesome! I am going to be switching to Mikasa since the guy I like wants to do Eren and wants me to cosplay with him :3

iBubbleTeax3 · « **Reply #3 on:** May 27, 2013, 09:45:28 pm »

Awesome! I'm debating whether to do kid Mikasa or older. Considering my height it might be easier I do the kid XD

I would love to see progress on the equipment though! A friend of mine plans to help me make mine.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #4 on:** May 27, 2013, 11:25:42 pm »

I will make sure to take lots of pictures. I going to start paterning out pieces tomorrow then work on cutting parts out of craft foam and piecing things together. Next pay day I will get the rest of the materials.

iBubbleTeax3 · « **Reply #5 on:** May 28, 2013, 09:25:57 am »

Oh nice! I can't wait to see it. :'D

My friend is going to do the equipment out of wood then my dad will use metal sheets to cover it to make it look more realistic. Yours will be much lighter than mine XD

CyberIncision · « **Reply #6 on:** May 28, 2013, 09:49:19 pm »

A bunch of us are working on a huge group right now

I'm working on Annie (All I need now is the jacket, gears and wig ^.^) I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS :DDD

Spongeekat · « **Reply #7 on:** May 28, 2013, 11:08:33 pm »

My friend and I are going as Mikasa and Eren half of one of the days~ ouo

iBubbleTeax3 · « **Reply #8 on:** May 28, 2013, 11:39:36 pm »

Since there so many Mikasa, I'll switch to Armin. Clothing the same anyway LOL. Plus I have the wig for him.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** June 11, 2013, 09:48:43 am »

Do we want to do a photo shoot/gathering? I currently have one costume set for Sunday for the contest so Saturday or Monday would be ideal for me. What about you guys?

YUme · « **Reply #10 on:** June 11, 2013, 11:56:48 pm »

I'm gonna be Levi or Hanji LOL;; I'm leaning more towards Hanji

My friend's gonna be Mikasa too LOL

Nikkiolie: A photo shoot would be fun QvQ. Oh I saw your progress on FB and it's looking really nice!

sk_chan · « **Reply #11 on:** June 12, 2013, 12:09:45 am »

I may cosplay Levi. Not sure if for Kcon or SakuraCon.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #12 on:** June 12, 2013, 08:30:32 am »

Thanks Yume! I got another picture last night (not sure if thats the one you were talking about or not) I added an extra hole in my leg straps and now they aren't too tight and stay up. I also got white jeans yesterday....so if anyone is looking Old Navy is where I got mine and they are perfect.

Here is my newest progress shot
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/8491_507257699329566_1741347648_n.jpg

I still need to get a more gray top for Sasha (thats my Mikasa top, though I may get one that fits better), I still need to get boots, and I need to shorten the sleeves for my jacket.

And of course make the 3D MG but that is going to take much longer than my simple fixes XD

Is there any objection for Saturday shoot?

iBubbleTeax3 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2013, 09:52:52 am »

Wow Nikki! It's turning out amazing! I cannot wait to the gears though! Mine wont be worked on until late July due to my dad having to go overseas.

I decided that I'll just do Armin. I have no plans on Saturday that I know of., so it sounds fine with me. Just need the time and area that we will be doing this xD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #14 on:** June 19, 2013, 08:51:33 am »

I'm not too sure on the area. In the park or by the clock tower would be cool. Or over by the fountain with all the raised areas.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2013, 09:46:53 am »

I got some work done on my 3D MG this weekend. Its coming along quite nicely.

Since no one has said anything lets plan for Saturday at the clock tower. Does noon sound ok? Since its the first day that will give people a chance to get their badges.

sk_chan · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2013, 06:33:23 pm »

That should work for me.

I took your advice and got awesome half price jeans at Old Navy XD Thanks! I also just love Old Navy in general. =3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #18 on:** July 11, 2013, 08:26:05 am »

I really like the jeans they have there. They even have skinny leg ones which would be perfect for putting in boots. I suppose I should have gotten those....but I just don't like the feel of skinny leg jeans, so I got the boot cut.

Me too. I can't fit into skinny legs because my legs aren't skinny. =_=;; My thighs are considered "full". I fit into their "Sweetheart" style (tried on Rockstar and Diva, they were out of Flirt which may have worked too.)

~~If I have the time and money for it I will be a Titan head~~

Can't wait to see the group of soldiers in battle

Spontaneous · « **Reply #21 on:** July 17, 2013, 11:30:13 am »

I'm going as Mikasa and will be with a group that is cosplaying Sasha, Armin, and hopefully Eren as well. Is anyone else making 3-D maneuver gear?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #22 on:** July 17, 2013, 11:46:57 am »

YAY More of us! I am working on my gear right now. I haven't taken a picture recently but I got one from this weekend. Here are my gas tanks and swords as of Sunday.

Currently both handles are painted black and have the checker pattern. I got spray paint today and tonight I will paint the blades and the other parts silver. Then I just need to add the details on the blades and the raised edge on the end of the handles (assuming my plasti-dip isn't harden) then I can add the cords and they are done! I am also going to work on the belt and the things that shoot out the anchors tonight while waiting for paint to dry. Then on Friday I will order my magnets and once they get here I can continue work with my scabbards.

iBubbleTeax3 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 17, 2013, 03:18:43 pm »

Actually, changes of plan. I'm doing Rico instead. Thought I try something new XD.

YUme · « **Reply #24 on:** July 19, 2013, 07:49:26 am »

Is anyone here thinking of doing cosplay chess with their shingeki outfits? LOL I just thought it'd be entertaining if a few shingekis were a piece on the board.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #25 on:** July 19, 2013, 09:19:57 am »

I was actually planning on entering Sasha!

sk_chan · « **Reply #26 on:** July 19, 2013, 10:37:57 am »

I was going to enter Rivaille, but it's not set in stone. I need to finish the cos first since they require pics...>_>;;

YUme · « **Reply #27 on:** July 20, 2013, 06:02:29 pm »

It would be cool if a few of the shingekis could enter in teams to be pieces! How fa is everyone on their cosplays anyway?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #28 on:** July 21, 2013, 12:22:28 am »

I just got my boots today so clothes wise I am done. All that is left is to finish the gear. I am slowly trekking along with that too. The swords are just about done and tomorrow I should be able to get close to finishing another part. I should be able to get the cylinder on the back and the anchor shooters done tomorrow and ready to go. Then all that will be left is the scabbards.

But here are the blades

Sabishii · « **Reply #29 on:** July 22, 2013, 03:36:51 am »

Me and my cousin will be going as Eren Jaeger and Armin Arlert the entire convention, we hope to see some of you there, and see you at the Shingeki no Kyojin photoshoot.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #30 on:** August 02, 2013, 11:05:32 am »

I made a cosplay group on facebook since the Kumoricon group has been very helpful. Feel free to join or suggest friends to join

iBubbleTeax3 · « **Reply #31 on:** August 05, 2013, 09:05:24 pm »

Ok hotarruk13 is considering doing Hanji while my other friend is considering doing the Colossal Titan (just the head; possibly might finish the body).

nikkiolie · « **Reply #32 on:** August 07, 2013, 06:35:13 pm »

I tried on most of my costume today. Here is the front and back of it. Still got a little more work left

nikkiolie · « **Reply #33 on:** August 08, 2013, 11:26:28 am »

Just a heads up! I made a facebook event and updated the first post. I will also add a list of the characters to the first post for those that don't have facebook
https://www.facebook.com/events/180438562136558/?context=create

So since some peoples plans have changed please let me know who you will be going as, and if you have friends please give me a name

Thanks!

iBubbleTeax3 · « **Reply #34 on:** August 08, 2013, 01:19:03 pm »

I'm going as Rico for sure, and hotarruk13 may go as Hanji since she's trying to order the cosplay right now but is unsure if the cosplay is coming in or not. For the Titan, my friend changed his mind since he wouldn't be able to make the whole thing on time.

//I don't have a facebook so yeah..

nikkiolie · « **Reply #35 on:** August 08, 2013, 02:49:28 pm »

Updated! On both this page and the event on fb!

lesslovingangel · « **Reply #36 on:** August 18, 2013, 07:46:43 pm »

Whaaa....so I haven't gone to kcon for 4 years now.....I wonder how much it has changed....

I will be going as Christa. Not sure what day yet.....I will have the scouting legion uniform version and then a formal version for the ball. My friend, 136n4n3114f, is going as Ymir.

My Christa makeup test....

We were working on our 3D maneuver gear yesterday

Spongeekat · « **Reply #37 on:** August 18, 2013, 11:57:47 pm »

Oh my gosh. I'm super excited that there'll be a Christa and Ymir :'D You guys should really go to the photoshoot if you're cosplaying on Day 1.

I'm pretty sure Ymir can go, as that is her only cosplay. My problem is my other cosplay groups aren't telling me/don't know what days those will be.....

stormmink · « **Reply #39 on:** August 20, 2013, 11:16:04 pm »

I won't be able to go to the shoot (unless it was an hour/hour and a half later) , but on Saturday I will be going as Carla Jaeger!!! Nothing too serious, I'm planning on carrying around a sign that has one of those Googlemaps locations pins on them with"A titan's mouth" written next to it ^o^ But anyways I can't wait to see you all!!

Jotaku · « **Reply #40 on:** August 25, 2013, 12:49:54 pm »

Gonna be Eren! Plans for when are really vague right now except that I'll be him most of Day 1.
Otherwise just depends on how I feel about 'im.

Despite valiant efforts, I will not have the 3DMG for kumoricon /angry shonen tears

I'm barely gonna finish him in time for con as it is. I still have to make most of his uniform and holy poopers why do I do this to myself
Here's a makeup test.

AnaleeBao · « **Reply #41 on:** August 25, 2013, 06:06:04 pm »

I'm going to be kid Mikasa for all 3 days at the con

That's my album - I'm not sure why it's not letting you tag, and if the tagging still doesn't work, feel free to just add me as a friend!!! Then it should let you tag c:
